How I Made $6K With My eBook

There has got be a better way to think about this market that just selling eBooks. It's premium information conveyance, right? Like a stock tip sheet?

My brother is in a marketplace that depends heavily on advertising to get customers. He spends several hundred a year, just on newsletters and eBooks that tell him how to best utilize his advertising budget, which seems to be over a thousand per month.

How much time did it actually take you to write the book?

Thanks for sharing. How do you like e-junkie? What other alternatives did you consider?

e-junkie is OK, but the UI is horrible, it's all in flash. I went w/ e-junkie at 1st because of the coupon code that gave me 120 days for free & because they handle all the digital delivery logic like link expiry. I'm now w/ ClickBank as it seems to be more popular w/ affiliate marketers, only costs an upfront $50 & can accept multiple methods of payment.

Cool tips. I especially like the part about testing the market before actually doing the work. Clever.

That's a case from Tim Farris book ( at least the first time I read about it)

Writing took about 2 months IIRC. But the learning took >1 year :p
