The purpose of an information product found on certain marketplaces, or the website of the provider, is to deliver information on a given topic in such a way that it is easy to access and consume. The material provided can be a PDF document or ebook, an ebook series, a video, a video series, an online course, a subscription-based newsletter, or a combination of all those formats.
