There are some extra things you can do when writing your special reports to get the most out of them. Some examples include:

 Create two text files for your special report. The first file should include the document exactly as you will print it, including italics, boldface and a larger headline for the title. The second document should be a second text file in ASCII format so you can send it to editors if you are offering it as an article. This will save them time because they won't have to edit your boldface, italics and other emphasizing devices.

 Make sure you have fliers explaining your other services and products, and stuff several fliers into the envelope along with your special report. I also include in the envelope the flier listing all my special reports, in case customers want to buy more. It's a handy Fax-Back form and it's at the end of this report. Feel free to copy the format for your own use.

 Use a type size of from 10 to 12 points.

 You needn't worry about a cover. Just be sure all your contact information is at the top of the first page.
