In this article I really want to discuss some ideas that will help you brainstorm and generate profitable topics to write about. As above I feel the niches available to you as an ebook writer are endless and making money from ebooks has never been easier.
Make sure you check out the article directories such as ezine articles. If you find a topic which has a number of articles linked to it, you can almost guarantee there is a market to work with. A broad topic like health and fitness holds thousands of different niches making it easy to make money from your ebook.
I always like to look at ebay or more specifically ebay pulse as this tells me what products are selling well and also what problems people are seeking to put right. Another great place for seeing what is hot, is Google trends. This tells you the hottest search terms and is updated regularly. You could be the first to explode a new fad and make money by launching an ebook.
Clickbank is the place to be if you want to make money with ebooks. It is the largest resource online and it is worth researching a few products in your chosen area before you jump in. Search for products which have a high gravity as these will always be tried and tested and proven to make money through ebook sales.
Forum fishing is another great way to decide on a topic for your new ebook. Choose a forum in your niche and check out the frequently asked questions. You could even base an entire ebook answering the frequently asked questions. I have done this before and ebook sales can rocket.
Another great way to make money from ebooks is to give them away free and use affiliate links within the ebook in order to make sales. Many marketers look down on this method as people tend to put together useless ebooks with the sole intent of creating affiliate sales. If you decide to take this route I would always advise to make the ebook sound in quality other wise making money from it will be difficult.
