I've been toying around with the idea of writing an ebook on how to find and create good, solid money making/business ideas. No scams - real, solid stuff. It would be something you could read to stimulate your brain... or to turn to when you're in a rut.

Would anyone buy a book like that? Just curious...

I would buy it, if it was recommended by a trusted source.

I would never pay for an ebook just because I've read so many terrible ones. I would read it if it was free though. I'm such a cheapskate!

Gone are the days of buying ebooks, if the information is that good it'll be published in hardback and on sale in a book store. THAT's when I'd consider buying it.

Interesting... personally, I'd buy one - but might rather have a paperback instead of an ebook...

I've gotta disagree with you here... more like gone are the days of letting big publishers take 90% of your publishing profits. Nowdays you can print on demand and/or sell ebooks and keep a lot more of the profits. It isn't very smart for an author to pursue a book deal from a regular publisher. You are way better off to self publish. The Chicken Soup for the Soul series is an example of self publishing success...but there are many others. I'm not saying it's easy, but your odds of success are greater.

If anyone is interested, a great resource on self publishing can be found at parapublishing.com

I've got to agree..I'm still the old fashioned guy who loves the sound of pages flipping and squashing of little insects in between the pages! :taz: Can't do that with ebooks!

As for money making topics...learnt a lot from forums like this!

Can´t imagine what would I read in a book like this.

**Andreas Bard** · 09-09-2006, 12:07 PM

No I would not. Simply because of that I belive that ideas comes naturally and can not really be taught.

I'd rather have something tangible for my money

**petertdavis** · 09-10-2006, 09:50 AM

I wouldn't buy it, cause I already have more ideas than I know what to do with.
