What is a Tutorial Product?
Tutorials help your audience accomplish a specific task by offering a step-by-step walk-through. They typically show/tell your audience what to do, with the promise that they’ll arrive at a successful conclusion if they follow the steps.
Why should I create a Tutorial?
Tutorials help your audience accomplish something tangible, and quickly. By providing them with a clear set of specific steps based on your expertise, not only will you allow them to finally tick that item off of their to-do list, you’ll also save them time in doing so.
Tutorials are also typically easier for you to create, as you’re simply documenting a process or set of steps that you’re already familiar with.
TIP: These can be a great way to showcase your skills and expertise to your following, building rapport with your audience & leading to larger sales later on!
