One Page Publishing Secrets

Did you know that one of the best ways to earn money online

is by creating one-page products such as cheat sheets, tip

sheets, and checklists? These items are easy to create, popular

with consumers, and inexpensive to publish. In this short report I’ll

share some strategies for making money with one page of

content.

What Are One-Pagers?

One-pagers are brief publications that contain extremely valuable

and useful information, assisting users to thoroughly complete a

task or achieve a goal. We call them one-pagers because they

are best when kept brief (they don’t have to be literally always be

one page, but they should be brief), especially as they are most

often used as a quick reference tool. The three most common

types of one-pagers are:

Cheat sheets

Tip Sheets

Checklists

One page products are quick to make and can be used in so

many ways, but most marketers completely overlook them. Just

look at some of the ways these micro-products can be used:

List building – As a subscriber incentive (lead magnet)

Bonuses – To a larger product, as free content to your list or

your social media followers, or to go with an affiliate sale

Upsells – to a product you made or as an add-on to an

affiliate sale

Print – pass out locally or at events, add to physical product

purchases

Stand Alone – A good one page product can be sold all by

itself, if the information is needed and/or the price is right

Bundle – Put several related one page products together into

a comprehensive package

As a service- create one pages for: other businesses,

authors, product creators, online marketers, and more

Let’s dig into the most popular types of one-page style content.

Cheat Sheets

A cheat sheet is one-page document that is meant to help people

remember how to do a particular process or to provide them with

basic information on a topic.

Both digital and physical cheat sheets are extremely popular.

These sheets are often designed to hang in a handy spot in the

home, such as on a refrigerator door or in a bathroom. They are

sometimes sold as add-ons to existing products or given away as

bonuses. They may also be used as lead magnets to entice

people to sign up for a mailing list.

Another name for cheat sheet is quick reference guide - most of

you probably recognize the term from the IT and software

industries. When you purchase a new computer, it almost always

has a Quick Start Guide which is just what is needed to get you

set up.

Tip Sheets

A tip sheet is just what it sounds like: a one-page document that

contains an array of tips or hacks focused on a particular topic or

endeavor.

The primary difference between a cheat sheet and a tip sheet is

that a cheat sheet usually contains short-cuts and specific

information to help you do something.

While tip sheets are similar to cheat sheets, the primary difference

is that a tip sheet gives the end user additional or alternative ways

to do something, instead of walking them through something step-

by-step.

Checklists

A checklist is simply a list of things that someone might need to

do, bring, pack, or buy for a single purpose. These may often be

in cumulative or numbered steps as well. Do this first, this second,

etc.

Differences between One-Pagers

A cheat sheet is usually meant to help people perform a task or to

remember key information that may help them in an endeavor.

For example, a simple online search reveals cheat sheets for:

Telling the difference between Italian wines

Setting up a WordPress blog

Remembering knitting stitches

Using camera lenses

These are just a few examples. A well-designed cheat sheet can

help you remember key information and perform unfamiliar or

rarely-done tasks.

By contrast, a tip sheet usually consists of general tips and hacks

that focus on a particular topic. For example, you might find tip

sheets with advice about:

Preparing your taxes

Brewing beer at home

Benefits of One Page Content

If you have or want to build an audience, whether they read your

blog, buy products from you, or look to you as an authority, you

can use one-page publishing to provide them with value and to

help market your products, services, or advice.

Creating Your One Pagers

Now you know why one-pagers why one-pagers are some of the

most valuable content you can create…let’s discuss how to put

them together.

Successful one-pagers are a simple five step process:

1. Find a hot topic or subtopic suitable for a one pager.

2. Grab your content

3. Format

4. Monetize

5. Promote

6. Optional-Repurpose, rinse, and repeat

Here are some tips to keep in mind:

Your one pager should not require additional explanation or

research to be useful.

Each piece of content relates directly to the overall subject of

your proposed one-pager.

Focus each one-pager on a single topic, and then break it up

into subtopics for clarity and readability.

Group like items together on your checklist – for example, if

you’re creating a packing checklist, put all clothing items

together.

When gathering content for your one-pagers, I suggest you pull all

of your content together into a document that you can easily use

to copy and paste into your one-page format.

One Page Formatting Best Practices

If you want your one-pager to be memorable, useful, and help you

achieve your goals, then you need to make sure that it adheres to

the most important one-page best practices.

I’m talking about things like formatting, copy, bullet points, and

readability. You need to ensure that any one-pager you create

delivers on all fronts so that users immediately see the value in it.

Attractive Layout

Since most cheat sheets and tip sheets are designed to be used

repeatedly, it’s a good idea to make yours attractive and easy to

read.

Here are some design elements to consider when designing your

one-pager:

1. Make sure that the page isn’t too crowded. White space (the

space between and around elements) is important.

2. Use complementary and contrasting colors to make

important information stand out or to help visually distinguish

text.

3. Include carefully-selected images to enhance your content

and make your one-pager attractive to look at.

4. Limit your tips on a tip sheet to 6 to 12 total tips so they all fit

on one page, and limit each tip to 1-3 lines at most.

5. Use bold and italics to emphasize key points and visually

highlight the most important elements of your content.

6. Include a call to action on your one-pager. Tell your readers

what you want them to do- click a link, visit a website, etc.

Publishing Your One Pagers

The easiest way to publish your one pager is to convert it to PDF

and offer it as a digital download. If you want a professional look, I

suggest using Canva, a free drag-and-drop tool that comes with a

ton of templates.

If you want to compile multiple one-pagers into a book or a longer

document, you can use a free pdf compiler like

https://www.pdfmerge.com/ or a paid one like Adobe Acrobat.

You can also design your one-pagers in Word or a similar word

processing program, and then convert those to PDF.

The bottom line is that one-pagers are very easy to create and

distribute. They don’t take as much time as books, and they’re

even faster to create than low-content books like coloring books.

That makes them a great opportunity for you to establish authority

and grow your brand.

Get Started Today

My favorite thing about creating one-page publications is that I

can then repurpose them in a variety of ways. It’s very rewarding

to take a single tip sheet, cheat sheet or checklist and turn it into

multiple income streams and products. In fact, I think publishing

one-pagers is the perfect model for people who want to become

financially independent.
