    I'm sure people would love to know about your experiences but they might not necessarily want to know badly enough to pay money for an ebook. Now, if your ebook is going to be free you might have better luck; but even then, people prefer to have instant access to what they're looking for. They don't like to have to download anything even if it only takes a few seconds. In that case a website would probably be better, and not one they have to fill out a myriad forms and go back to their email for a verification email to click a link before they can access the material. Unless it's something they're convinced could change their lives they're more likely to just pass on it before they go through all the hassle to read what you have to say.

    People arent buying them at the moment, because mostly all of them are all scams, why dont you make a wordpress blog write your experiences there put some adsense or adbrite on it and maybe get $$$$££££ through clicks e.t.c

    Ebooks can do good if you already have a huge list of buyers. I would work on somthing to give away free and build your list and site before "selling" an ebook.
    Plus I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I think a year is not enough time to really understand the interent. In my eyes you are a newbie, and I think most of the other members here may see you in this way to.
    Yes you can learn how to make money in a year, but teaching others will take alot more time and understanding.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention this......
    I may be new to this forum, but I have been doing business online for over 7 years. So that's what I mean by newbie, not about being new in this forum.

    I wrote an ebook last summer and give it away free. It's helped to build my list and it has a few affiliate links in it for things that I recommend.

    Is there a demand for that kind of information? If your going after the wealth or make money online markets then yes. Otherwise make sure there is some search volume and advertisers spending money on PPC for the market you want to enter before creating a product.

    It doesn't have to be an ebook, you can put together a recording in camtasia studio much much faster then you can ever write an ebook... plus video has a higher perceived value.

    why not? you should write an ebook.
    You may get success or failure in that. But atleast you will get an experience.

    Or spend ages writing something that nobody will want to read. Plus in order to sell it your English needs to be perfect. I'd be really annoyed paying for something that didn't make a bit of sense. See you got banned anyway... was your book that bad?

    I would recommend making an ebook, but give it for free to build your list.
