I have to confess i love being under pressure to earn money.. it’s increased my productivity 10 fold.
Over the past couple of days, i’ve been toying with the idea of making a ‘monster’ ebook on how to make money online. So far, i’ve managed to get 40 bullet points down on paper. The thing is, i’m well capable of giving detailed guides and links on each point, so this ebook could well end up being my single largest document ever created.
40 topics x say 500 words each and that’s a 20,000 word ebook right there excluding screen shots, pictures, contents page, cover page etc… easily 50+ pages.
Finding the time to do that of course is another thing, but i might work on this over a couple of weeks – there’s no way i can complete it in one day like i did my last ebook – guide to wordpress.
This one would also be going up for sale. If i could, i’d prefer to keep it free and host/launch the ebook from this blog which would bring in more subscribers and traffic but at the minute, i need cash for a number of projects. So if i sit down and do this well, this could prove to be a nice little earner.
I’m well aware of the success Walsho and TheUniversityKid have had with certain ebooks… i particularly like Walsho’s idea of making an ebook, selling the crap out of it for the first week or so, then putting it on sitepoint once it hits saturation point listing the revenue as something ridiculous like $1k a month having made $250 in the first week 
That’s just evil, but it works and it’s clever.
First step though is to compose an ebook that is of value and helps people, so i’ll write this just like my last one – and try to give as much advice, tips and help as possible. Big ask – 50+ pages and consistent, quality content… it truely is a ‘book’ rather than just a small document.
Anyone know what the going rate is for a 20,000 word ebook?
