Seems like everybody and their brother is giving away small reports these days. It’s no big secret that free small reports are a great way to promote your website or, you can even sell them as a stand alone business. Here are just a few great reasons why small reports are so popular

1. NO BIG INVESTMENT

Since there is no printing, shipping, or publisher expenses involved, your cost is very minimal. It is relatively easy to compile your pages into PDF or EXE format to give your report a professional look and feel. And don’t worry if your graphic skills aren’t up to par. You can easily have a professionally designed cover made for your report for about $65- $100.  Better yet, jump out there and learn how create your own cover graphics. There are tons of tutorials out there that teach basic graphic design skills.   

2.  EASY TO CREATE
Small reports do not require any special knowledge. Just write about something you know.  You don’t have to be an expert and it is not necessary for it to be very lengthy.  Usually a 7-15 page report about something that you think might be interesting or helpful to someone else is all you need. You will be amazed that once you begin writing how much more information comes to mind once you have begun.

---Quick Tip----  If you write about something you are passionate about it will show up in your writing. Even if you’re not an expert in the subject, you soon will be.

3. FAST AND INSTANT DELIVERY

Today people want everything now.  They don’t want to have to wait for it to be shipped.  Most publishers offer their small report as an incentive for customers to join their newsletter thus allowing the ability to contact the customer again in the future. Or, if you plan to sell your small report it’s only a matter of entering whatever payment method you have set up and Whamo! Instant delivery in a …”I want it NOW… world.”

4. FREE WORD OF MOUTH ADVERTISING (VIRAL MARKETING)

Or maybe I should say word of Web :-) This is probably the greatest reason of all to create and give away small reports.  Most small report authors offer their reader resale or reprint rights to their small report.  This allows the reader the opportunity to give or sell your report to other readers as well. One of the most popular ways to get you reports spread all over the net, is to offer your reader the ability to rebrand your report with their own affiliate links. This allows them the opportunity to earn commissions on products and or services that are recommended in your report.

I sincerely hope you have found these tips to be useful and wish you much success in your small report writing endeavors.  Remember don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
