Ebook Assault

Although i’m extremely busy at the minute, i need to start getting in to the habit of selling stuff. Defenced.com didn’t sell on sitepoint, with no bids. Surprising but not the end of the world. I’ve listed it on digitalpoint instead with a lower BIN.

Looking back at my past earnings, you’ll notice one area stands out head and shoulders above anything else. Ebooks. I’ve written & sold 3 ebooks for a combined total of $3,350. Although i don’t really enjoy writing ebooks, once i get stuck in to them the content flows and i can deliver the final product to a pretty high standard.

So i’ve started writing another Ebook and i plan to keep writing and writing until i have several ebooks complete. I’ll then either;

• sell copies individually
• sell exclusive rights/master copy along with a site
• sell the master copy by itself with no site

Option 2 is probably the wisest thing to do but requires a bit of extra work. Option 3 is the easy way out. Option 1 is probably too much work for me to take on, even though i’ve done it before.

Of course i may not sell them at all, i might just hold on to them or give them away for free but i want to have some products i can bank on for cash when i need it and ebooks are probably the least hassle to create for me and it’s also something i’m pretty good at (writing)

content is king

They say content is king and no matter how bad looking or poorly designed your site is, good content will make up for it. I agree. Assuming you have an RSS feed, it really doesn’t matter what your site looks like to me if the content is interesting

Of course you want a combination of the two if at all possible… With BeerChief i was almost falling in to the trap of design first, content later. So what is ‘content’ on a social network - isn’t that getting other people to create and fill out profiles and upload pictures etc…? Yes it is.

However let’s not forget the power of a good blog. A few top 10 lists, some beer related tips and tricks, funny stories etc… that’s all content and without it, BeerChief’s fate is in other people’s hands - that’s the way i see it.

If i don’t work, BeerChief fails. It’s as simple as that. My ‘job’ on BeerChief will be to draw in the traffic with my ‘content’. The BeerChief blog, although not very active now, will become just as active as this blog over the weeks and months to come. It will play an essential role in building the community.

So yeah, content is king… i should know with this being post #1001 on this blog Approximately 150 of you will read this post. If i hadn’t written it, you wouldn’t have read it and would therefore have spent less time on the site, or perhaps not have come at all and that’s not good. It’s all about keeping you captive for as long as possible
