Frank,

I really found your default layout extremely useful. The brilliant thing about this is that you really didn't need to "create" a product from scratch at all.

You took a product "Open Office", which many people know about…but made a not so common "how-to" manual to show people how to use it more effectively.

I knew about Open Office but the things you discussed in your information product opened my eyes to some short cuts that would have taken me weeks to figure out on my own. In fact, I may not have NEVER thought about finding the shortcuts that you effortlessly displayed.

This has been a great lesson in product creation. It fact it's brilliant. You showed me how easy it is to piece together a report with something that has been under my nose the whole time.

The lesson here is that INFORMATION is the key. You don't necessarily need to create a script like SmartDD or any other complicated software to give people what they want…

You can find popular existing products and give them the tutorials needed to make it easier to use these products.

Great work Frank.

I'm using your templates to create my User's Manual for new software that I'm releasing this month. Because of your tutorial, I'm cranking out this manual in half the time it would have taken me before.
