No problem Robin. One additional thought on the eBook
option. If you want to progress on this, I imagine
you already have some ideas, you just don't know if
they will sell or not?
If that's the case, then here are a few tips - from
experience - that will help you get through that fear
and make your eBook more successful...
1. Begin with the sales letter. For each idea you
have, develop the key benefits and keywords you would
use to market that particular product. Compare it
against your competition. Sales letters are not easy,
so it's normal to have challenges writing them, but you
should be able to see at least one, and hopefully more,
key benefits that you have over the competition, and that
you know will trigger buying responses from customers
you target. If you can't, then move on.
2. Goto overture.com or other Pay-Per-Click search engines
and test out several keywords related to your each idea
to find out how popular they are, and how much they cost.
This will give you a good estimate of demand as well
as where your product might fit into the PPC model, as
that has been a key marketing tool for me.
3. Take 3-5 of your best ideas and conduct a survey -
you can signup for a free account with Zoomerang.com,
it's a little cumbersome but they let you ask up to
10 questions to max 50 responses - you'll only need to
ask a few to get an idea of which topic is most popular.
Finally, Robin, one other comment. If you enter the
eBook arena, understand that it's about much more than
a single eBook if you want infoproduct development to
be a main source of income. You'll need to start
building your list, develop or partner/acquire back-end
products, develop follow-up systems, etc... as part of
your overall business plan.
Hope this helps...
