    I am willing to write a book on graphics software Fireworks in which i have worked a lot.

    I have some good experience and also i teach it in seminars and etc...

    Now i am willing to write a e-book which will describe tip, tricks, tutorials about it... so in depth and simple ways of doing a thing which normally take many steps, but in my way it take only few..


    I want to know that how much scope is in writing an e-book?

    If i wrote a book, how do i publish it?

    Is there any chance of income with it?

    Looking forward for your suggestions.

    Thanks!

    As part of your research before you even start writing the book, I'd check out if there are similar manuals out there already. Clickbank.com is a good place to start.

    Visit sites that sell a similar product, see what topics they cover, how long the book is and what it sells for.

    This will give you an idea if you should go ahead and write one.

    Best of luck...let us know how it goes

    Good advice, check the market BEFORE you start writing. If you find
    competition it's a good sign, that would mean the market exists.

    Personally for this kind of software how-to and tutorial I would go
    to software sites and their affiliates and cut a deal with them.

    Offer them a commission when they sell your book together with
    the software. You don't get any faster to your target audience
    than this. Don't look for them -- Go There Where They Are Already!
