By chance I stumbled upon an eBook that describes how to write eBooks. I decided to buy a sample (yet useful) eBook, but the wrong product was delivered, and it turned out to be an eBook about writing eBooks. So, in addition to seeing it as an example, the information in it looks very helpful. That's not to say that it's a very good product, in fact I wouldn't recommend it, but mainly because it's poorly written. The concepts seem pretty sound.

A fundamental question I posed before (i.e., "What should I write about?") was answered, somewhat indirectly, by this eBook. While I will have to adjust what it recommended according to my own understanding of things, it definitely pointed out that my prior idea about how to get topic ideas was very misguided. Ask family and friends? Um... Nice thought, but then I'm possibly only serving a market of one or two. This eBook showed me some techniques, tying together things I'd seen before but not really connected, for generating topic ideas that will serve hundreds, thousands, or even millions of customers. Clearly that's a better goal than an audience I can count on the fingers of one hand!

So, I'm going to set a goal of having written my first eBook before May. I do plan to sell it through ClickBank, so if you want to make money off my writing, you'll be able to via the ClickBank affiliate program (Sign up here.) Speaking of that, if you already have a ClickBank affiliate account or sign up for one now, be sure to also get a CBClicks account to help increase your ClickBank revenue potential. You'll need to put a little effort into promoting CBClicks once you've signed up, but the profit potential is worth it.

Now, I have some eBook-writing "homework" to do...
