Should I write an ebook about how I made $1200/month?

    Dear DP Users,

    Once upon a time, not long ago, I ran a single website that I built with a hundred bucks or so and an idea. It was a text based browser game that developed into a $1,200+/month online business in a period of less than a year.

    I was wondering if I wrote an ebook about how I succeeded, if anyone would even read it? The ebook would be free, as I feel like I owe something back to the internet gods.

    Instead of hiding my marketing secrets, I would talk about them in detail and even link direct sites to advertise on, and include information about what specific ad campaigns I ran that returned the most on my investment.

    Please let me know if there is any interest.


    Regards,

    ArcadeMan

    Thank you for the inspiration. I should've paid more attention in English class at college. If there are any professional writers reading this post, and would have any desire to help me fine tune this ebook, please PM me.

    Regards

    ahhh yeah this is no scam or anything, I'm just out of that particular niche of online business and I thought someone might learn from the things I did.


    I'll start writing it tomorrow.

    Thanks.

    I guess it would be OK if it was free as the last thing we need is a thread selling an ebook and a multitude of people begging for a review copy.

    It's always nice to see people giving out specifics of what they did to become so successful. Sure, the market has changed a bit and doing the exact same thing now might not yield the same results, but at least it gives us a good basis of knowledge on which to base our new endeavors.

    Have you ever noticed the most successful people don't have qualms about sharing their 'secrets'?
