The elements of any small report or eBook are pretty simple and if you use a basic outline this will help you break down your project into smaller bite size projects. Just commit to completing one section at a time and set a goal to complete one or two sections a day and in about 5-7 days you will have completed your entire project depending on the amount of content you wish to include.

For this report let’s set a goal of about 15-20 pages this should give your reader plenty of good content and a great way for you to lead into a more in-depth product with a higher price tag in the future.

First of all let’s take a look at the basics of what your small report should include. And for this particular report let’s use the steps or tips model. Here’s the basic outline.

1. Title Page (1pg)

2. Disclaimer Page (1pg)

3. Introductory Pages (1-2pgs)

     a.) About You and Your Experience

     b.)Lead In

4. Steps or Tips 1-5 (10 pgs) that’s two pages minimum per step or tip

     1. Step 1

        a.) sub-point

        b.) sub-point

Repeat Throughout Steps 2-5

5. Conclusion (1-2pgs)

Title Page

Ok… this one is pretty self explanatory. On this page you are going to restate the tile and subtitle of your small report and where you would display your name as the author and any copyright information. Now this doesn’t have to be real fancy, but as you develop your own style you may want to use a particular graphic or background image. That is kind of like your signature or mark.  Again this doesn’t have to be anything real fancy. It could be as simple as some large text with a simple border and a different back ground color inside the outline.  Once you have developed your particular title page, you then can use it over and over again as a template for future reports.

Disclaimer Page/Legal Statement

Now… as sad as it may be, it seems like we live in a law suit happy world these days. And In my express opinion it would be in your own best interest to contact a legal professional that will guide you in the proper wording of your legal statement in order to protect yourself from any liability. This statement is usually only about one paragraph long.  

—Disclaimer— I am not a legal professional nor am I giving any legal advice and highly recommend that you contact one in your local area concerning what your legal statement you should include in order to properly protect yourself from any legal recourse.

I think you get the idea…

On this page you may also want to include a short notice letting the reader know that they may freely distribute / give away your report to others or not. This all depends on what you plan to use your report for. Some reports you will use to generate traffic and some will be for sale.

Introductory Pages

Whoever your particular market may be… This would be a good place for you to let your readers know what is different about you and your approach to the subject you are writing about.  You then lead them into the steps your report includes.

On these pages you will want to write a brief introduction about yourself and your experience and a lead in as to what your small report will do for your readers.  What problem or problems will it solve?

For example: Let’s say your market is “Better Parenting” and you want to write a small report called “How to get Your Kids to do Their Chores in 5 Painless Easy Steps”

Your intro statement would say something like … My name is so and so… and I am the proud parent of 3 beautiful kids. Over the years I have found the rewards and consequence method to work the best for getting my lovely children to complete their chores in a timely and painless fashion. Here are the 5 easy steps I employ and that have worked like a charm for me.  Then you’ll want to make a built list of the 5 steps of implementing your particular system.

The Steps

Ok… Here is where you will obviously give your audience the steps to use to solve their problem. By the way, this is where you are going to spend most of your time writing, as it is the heart of your content. I recommend you break down each step as follows. First will be the main point of your step and 1-3 sub points.

 Let’s follow along the “Get Your Chores Done” idea

Example: Step1 —Using A White Board—

This of course is your main point and where you explain how using a white board helps you organize your list of chores and where the kids can see the stars they receive for successfully completing each chore. 

Then your sub points would look something like this.

—Sub Point A— How to set up Your White Board

—Sub Point B— Where to Locate Your White Board

–Tip– You may want to include some real life examples of how you and little Billy struggled at first, but how you and he eventually found success. This is a great way to make your report a little more personal.

As you are writing your outline you may find that you will come up with several ideas for future products and or items you could promote along with your small report. Like cute little chore charts with fuzzy little bunnies and sad little monkeys instead of stars and check marks. That’s why it’s good idea to keep some side notes for future reference.

Conclusion Page

This is where you’ll want to wrap the whole thing up and invite your readers to come and visit your website where you sell more parenting guides and products that relate to raising children or whatever your reports are about.

How would you like 2010 to be different? What would you like to accomplish this year that you didn’t in 2009? How can you do it differently this year—to make lifelong changes, rather than those that last for only a few months? What are you committed to this year?

These are the questions I ask myself this January 1. And the answer I hear in response is, “Find the motivation and then commit!” For without motivation or a real desire for the goal, most of us will not do what is necessary to reach that goal, to stick with that resolution until we achieve our aim. Motivation will carry you through the challenges, obstacles, and distractions that will inevitably arise. When my book clients get off track, I bring them back by reconnecting them with their motivation.

I like to create systems that carry me from my initial motivation to my ultimate goal. See if this system makes sense to you:

1. Tap into the desire and motivation
2. Write out the goal with clarity and set a date for completion
3. Write out the action steps and enter into daily calendar
4. Set up support systems to stay on track and overcome obstacles
5. Plan a celebration

When it comes to writing that book, e-book, or other info-product you’ve said you were going to write throughout 2009, the system might look like this:

1. I’m excited to share my expertise and experience to help as many people as possible.
2. I will write a 150-page book or 50-page e-book detailing how to adapt a healthier lifestyle by April 30, 2010.
3. I will set aside 3 blocks of 3 hours every week to write; I will research the market to check competitors; I will research online printers.
4. I will send an email to my writing buddy every time I finish a 3-hour session; I will hire Andrea to edit my book; I will find an artist to design my cover.
5. On June 1, 2010 I will launch my book and invite my friends to a book release party.

You can use this process for any New Year’s resolution or goal expanding it as necessary to suit your style. I encourage you to use it and see if your 2010 commitments will become 2010 completions.

I’m here to support you in any way I can. I wish you a Healthy, Productive, and Successful New Year!

Quality

Whether or not you think this is a quality program will depend on your fat loss goals.  If you want an effective system that you can use for a long period of time or even turn into a lifestyle change, this is not the best program to use.  First of all, it only focuses on diet, leaving out fitness.  Secondly, it’s a very strict diet that can be difficult and unhealthy to follow for more than a short period of time.  Because of these problems, it’s very easy to gain any weight back that you do lose.  All of this aside, this can be a good program if you want to jump start your fat loss results before you start another program.

Results

Most people want to know, “Does Fat Loss 4 Idiots really work?”  To answer that, here are the results others have seen from using the program.  After following the 11 day diet, the majority of people saw a wide range of results.  Some lost little to no weight.  Others lost around 5-10 pounds.  However, once people started their 3 “cheat days”, they gained several pounds back, then lost the weight again during the next 11 day cycle.  Based on this wide range of results, it’s really hard to say what you could expect from following the diet outlined in Fat Loss 4 Idiots.  

Customer Feedback

We have thoroughly researched the fat loss program, Fat Loss 4 Idiots.  During our research, we read countless customer reviews and online comments.  Here are a few examples of the type of customer feedback we came across.

“Overall, I consider this diet to be good if you follow it correctly, and the shifting does help I think, because metabolism gets activated by not eating carbs all the time or protein all the time.”

Portion of actual user review on Yahoo Answers

“I’ve been using it for 2 months now. I haven’t lost 9lbs every 11days but I can say it works. In total I have lost 6 inches around my waist and a total of 27 pounds. I am very happy.”

Portion of actual user review on Squidoo.com

These are just a few of the comments we found from past and present users of Fat Loss 4 Idiots.  The majority of past and present users were divided on their opinions of this program.  While some saw great results and love the program, others commented that they didn’t see the results they were expecting, weren’t able to stick with the program or gained back any fat they did lose. 

Details

When you order the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program, you’ll get:

• The Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet handbook
• The Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet generator
• A 60 day 100% money back guarantee

Conclusion

Fat Loss 4 Idiots is not a bad program for short term weight loss.  However, this is not a diet you can continue for life, since it’s very strict and not balanced.  It also doesn’t focus on the fitness aspect of fat burning.  So, if you need to drop weight quickly for an event or special occasion, this program might be able to help you.  If you want an effective fat loss program you can stick to, you should look into other programs.

Afzal Shauq Has A Vision Of All The World

While browsing through poemhunter.com, I stumbled upon Mr. Afzal Shauq’s profile. I read his first poem and was so amazed by his writing that i sat the whole say, reading through his amazing work.

Mr. Afzal Shauq..words fail me to describe this great man. All the poets wreck their minds over how to write but Mr Shauq, he’s different because he thinks from his heart. Mr. Shauq has achieved something that millions of people like me can only dream of. He has a vision of all the world coming together as one whole country. Mr. Shauq wants the world to live as one. Mr. Shauq preaches in humanity and brotherhood.

According to Mr. Shauq the best weapon to fight a war is ‘A Friendly Smile.’ Isn’t that a brilliant idea? We all dream of world peace and wish for wars to end. But that’s about it, we don’t do anything beyond that. The difference between Mr. Shauq and us is that he not only dreams of world peace but work’s towards making the dream come true. And the best part is Mr. Shauq is not only making his dream come true but ours as well. He has the power to do it through his writing. He has something alot more than talent and what’s amazing is that he uses his talent to promote world peace, something that’s most important in today’s world.

From his unique collection of poem’s, inspite of me loving his each poem; there were a few that captured my heart the most. The poem‘ Global Peace Theory’ is one of them…

‘Global Peace Theory’ / Afzal Shauq

If and when the invincible book of norms is ignored?
If and when custom of humanity is burnt to dust?
Due to the wicked shadows of greed, lust and other evil doings,
We don’t have the right to be named as human beings.
Rather, we are brutal animals like vultures and crocodiles.
If we truly wish from the heart to be called humans of higher race,
Then we must not shrink when we are called “the children of Adam”.
For once we begin to consider ourselves as sons of Adam
Of this verdant mound, of this dry land, of this circling life –
Then we might also try to answer the ancient golden query of………
“Aren’t we cousins to each other? ” or “Aren’t we all brothers and sisters? ”
Hence, let’s all take initiatives to bridge up the gaps between hearts.
To connect all broken knots regardless of color, creed or race,
Via road to positivity, presenting cheerful aura of glowing smiles.
Respect to one another is a blooming string that ties warm cozy ends.
Letting social life be dance and sing melodiously with the collective actions.
Pleasing, filling, satisfying; the glaring shadows of humanity.
In which it has long been betrayed, jumped out of shell,
By the selfish wand and magnetic resonance of greed!
____

In the poem ‘Global Peace Theory’ Mr Shauq has sent out a rather meaningful message. In this poem Mr. Shauq is stressing on the way we human’s behave. T he humanity is fading away every second. Human beings are given the power of understanding. But sadly they misuse it by plotting against each other. If so then do we have the right to call ourselves human beings of higher race? Mr. Shauq further quotes that let us all cross the boundaries of one’s color, race, religion and country and let us all become a single united nation, filling our hears with nothing but peace
.
‘A New Dawn’ is yet another example of his amazing talent. Through this poem Mr. Shauq gives hope to millions of people around the world promising them a new dawn, making people’s belief stronger
.
The way Mr. Afzal Shauq writes is beautiful, his writing is short, precise and to the point. Mr Shauq’s poems always succeed in giving a powerful message to the world. Mr. Shauq’s poems take us to a whole new world of peace and give us a ray of hope promising a peaceful future.

Why do books were invented? There is only one answer to this question. It is because the road to knowledge begins with the turn of a page. A book is the one which man is fated to live with.

With the birth of technology, all the information that is written on books is finally transferred online. Not only that, those topics which are beyond the grasp of books are contained therein. This event paved the way for the creation of the eBook (electronic book) which is also known as digital book.
