|
||||
## Ebooks & Guides
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for**: Building authority, deep education, awareness-stage leads
|
||||
|
||||
**Structure**:
|
||||
1. Title page with professional design
|
||||
2. Table of contents
|
||||
3. Introduction — frame the problem, set expectations
|
||||
4. 3-7 chapters — one key concept per chapter
|
||||
5. Summary — recap key takeaways
|
||||
6. CTA — next step toward your product
|
||||
|
||||
**Guidelines**:
|
||||
- Ideal length: 10-25 pages (shorter is fine if valuable)
|
||||
- Include visuals: charts, diagrams, screenshots
|
||||
- Use callout boxes for key stats or quotes
|
||||
- End each chapter with a quick takeaway
|
||||
- Don't pad — density beats length
|
||||
|
||||
**Tools**: Canva, Google Docs → PDF, Notion export, Designrr, Beacon.by
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Checklists
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for**: Process-oriented tasks, quick wins, implementation help
|
||||
|
||||
**Structure**:
|
||||
- Title: "[Number]-Point [Topic] Checklist"
|
||||
- Numbered or checkbox items
|
||||
- Group into logical sections if 10+ items
|
||||
- Brief explanation per item (1-2 sentences)
|
||||
|
||||
**Guidelines**:
|
||||
- Keep to 1-2 pages
|
||||
- Use actionable language ("Verify X", "Set up Y", "Remove Z")
|
||||
- Order by workflow sequence or priority
|
||||
- Make it printable — clean layout, generous spacing
|
||||
- Include a "done" checkbox for each item
|
||||
|
||||
**What works**: Step-by-step processes, audit criteria, launch checklists, setup guides
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Cheat Sheets
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for**: Reference material, shortcuts, quick-lookup information
|
||||
|
||||
**Structure**:
|
||||
- One page (two pages max)
|
||||
- Organized by category or workflow
|
||||
- Dense but scannable
|
||||
- Visual hierarchy with headers and grouping
|
||||
|
||||
**Guidelines**:
|
||||
- Optimize for quick reference, not reading
|
||||
- Use tables, grids, or columns
|
||||
- Include formulas, shortcuts, or code snippets
|
||||
- Design for printing or saving as desktop reference
|
||||
- Bold the most important items
|
||||
|
||||
**What works**: Keyboard shortcuts, formula references, terminology glossaries, decision matrices
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Templates & Spreadsheets
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for**: Repeatable processes, planning, tracking
|
||||
|
||||
### Spreadsheet Templates (Google Sheets / Excel)
|
||||
- Include a "How to Use" tab with instructions
|
||||
- Pre-fill with example data
|
||||
- Use data validation for dropdown fields
|
||||
- Add conditional formatting for visual cues
|
||||
- Lock formula cells, leave input cells editable
|
||||
- Include a "Make a Copy" link (Google Sheets)
|
||||
|
||||
### Notion Templates
|
||||
- Provide a duplicate link
|
||||
- Include a getting-started guide
|
||||
- Pre-populate with example content
|
||||
- Use Notion's database features (views, filters, relations)
|
||||
- Keep it simple — don't over-engineer
|
||||
|
||||
### Document Templates
|
||||
- Provide in multiple formats (Google Doc, Word, PDF)
|
||||
- Include placeholder text with [BRACKETS] for customization
|
||||
- Add inline instructions in a different color
|
||||
- Make it immediately usable with minimal editing
|
||||
|
||||
**Key principle**: Templates should be usable within 5 minutes of downloading.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Swipe Files
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for**: Inspiration, examples, learning from others
|
||||
|
||||
**Structure**:
|
||||
- Curated collection of 15-50 examples
|
||||
- Organized by category, type, or use case
|
||||
- Each example includes:
|
||||
- The example itself (screenshot, text, link)
|
||||
- Why it works (2-3 bullet annotations)
|
||||
- How to adapt it (1-2 sentences)
|
||||
|
||||
**Guidelines**:
|
||||
- Quality over quantity — curate ruthlessly
|
||||
- Add your analysis, don't just collect
|
||||
- Organize for browsing (categories, tags)
|
||||
- Update periodically with fresh examples
|
||||
- Credit original sources
|
||||
|
||||
**What works**: Email subject lines, landing pages, ad copy, CTAs, onboarding flows, pricing pages
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Mini-Courses
|
||||
|
||||
### Email-Based Mini-Courses
|
||||
- 3-5 emails delivered over 5-7 days
|
||||
- One lesson per email, one concept per lesson
|
||||
- Each email: teach → example → exercise
|
||||
- Progressive difficulty (build on previous lessons)
|
||||
- Final email: summary + CTA for product or next step
|
||||
|
||||
### Video-Based Mini-Courses
|
||||
- 3-5 videos, 5-15 minutes each
|
||||
- Host on unlisted YouTube, Loom, or course platform
|
||||
- Deliver links via email drip
|
||||
- Include worksheets or exercises per lesson
|
||||
- More personal — builds stronger connection
|
||||
|
||||
**Cadence**: Every 1-2 days. Don't stretch too thin or compress too tight.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key principle**: Each lesson should deliver standalone value. If someone only watches lesson 2, they should still learn something useful.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Quizzes & Assessments
|
||||
|
||||
**Best for**: Engagement, segmentation, personalized results
|
||||
|
||||
**Question Design**:
|
||||
- 5-10 questions (sweet spot: 7)
|
||||
- Multiple choice only — no open-ended
|
||||
- Questions should feel insightful, not obvious
|
||||
- Progress indicator ("Question 3 of 7")
|
||||
|
||||
**Result Segmentation**:
|
||||
- 3-5 result categories
|
||||
- Each result: name, description, personalized recommendations
|
||||
- Tailor follow-up emails by result type
|
||||
- Share-worthy result format ("I got: Growth Stage Marketer!")
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**: Gate results behind email capture. The quiz itself is ungated — the personalized results require an email.
|
||||
|
||||
**For building interactive quizzes**: See **free-tool-strategy** skill for technical implementation guidance.

|
||||
|
||||
## Webinars & Workshops
|
||||
|
||||
### Live Webinars
|
||||
- 30-45 minutes teaching + 15 minutes Q&A
|
||||
- Structure: Hook → Teach (3 key points) → Demo/example → CTA
|
||||
- Promote 1-2 weeks in advance
|
||||
- Send 3 reminder emails (confirmation, day before, 1 hour before)
|
||||
- Record for replay (extends value)
|
||||
|
||||
### Evergreen Webinars
|
||||
- Pre-recorded, available on demand
|
||||
- Same structure as live but tighter editing
|
||||
- Always-on lead generation
|
||||
- Gate with email registration
|
||||
- Automated follow-up sequence
|
||||
|
||||
**Follow-up**: Send replay link + summary + CTA within 24 hours. Continue with nurture sequence.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key principle**: Teach something genuinely useful. A webinar that's just a sales pitch will damage trust.
