About Francis Miller

I come to information products from two angles. Firstly I'm an infoproduct developer myself, with one product on sale and others on the way.

When I wrote the Internal Business Plan Manual, I used some key iTransformation tools. In particular, I wanted to provide a step-by-step process which was easy to use.

And judging by the testimonials I've received, the Manual readers have found it an easy-to-use process.

Secondly, I've consumed many infoproducts to learn new skills for my business. I've come across some excellent ones, which you'll be reading more about on this blog. And I've come across some really poor ones as well.

The ones I find most frustrating have great ideas but are structured so poorly that it's very time-consuming to extract the usable ideas from them.

Because of my experience as both an infoproduct developer and consumer, I wanted to set up this website to talk about the importance of producing effective learning materials and to publicise the most effective resources available that help to do this.

My experience of a variety of disciplines, including accountancy, marketing and public relations, gives me a broad business perspective.

I have been writing for a long time and articles of mine have appeared in publications such as:

  • Business China

  • The Industrial Society Magazine

  • The Guardian

  • Caduceus.

For the past 8 years, I have been a small business consultant and, before that, my work experience included:

  • being one of the four founders of the Merlin Ecology Fund (now the Jupiter Ecology Fund), which was the first ever UK environmental unit trust

  • doing management consultancy work for the Falkland Islands Government, which taught me the importance of processes and procedures in getting work done

  • setting up Mountain Books Ltd, a small publishing company

  • fundraising work for a cancer charity

  • strategy development for businesses and non-profit organisations.

I graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge where I received an MA in Social & Political Science.
