Hi! Whats the differences between the two? Does it matter what writing style is used,like is it based on length of the document OR is the report an extract of a ebook? OR i've read about 1 internet marketer who writes a 10-20 page report and turns it into an ebook by adding chapters So like for report priced at under $10 ,would prospective buyers expect something short (say 7 pages)? Hope that's not confusing. opinions,thoughts and discussion encouraged.
I think Ebook is more easy to read... Just like that.. if report u need to check the URL again one by one... ^^
uhh..you lost me. I'm not talking about urls. I've got several ideas for ebooks..but thinking of writing a report..I'm just not sure whether the $7 reports are structured like a shortened version of a ebook/or an extracted chapter. or whether its structured like.. intro background info recommendations conclusion Or can reports be written like one long huge article?
Report is basically shorter in length than ebook and usually contains one or 2 ideas whereas ebook may contain a lot of ideas .Also report doesn't contain index (most of the time)
to me an ebook usually identifies some kind of method but goes into great detail how to implement it... a report goes over different methods briefly but tells you more about the effectiveness of each method... that's how my logic works this morning
A report is usually 30 pages or less. More than that people will refer as an ebook. Both method that you're saying can be use. Some marketers prefer to create a report as a snippet for their ebook and some prefer to write it in a structured way just like an ebook. It doesn't matter how you write it. As long you can get the message across to the readers, that will be fine. - Dynashox -
Thanks heaps for the helpful responses. I can now move forward with my ideas,now that i have a fair idea of how to structure it. cheers, Arc
Actually it not the format problem. You need to do the right format that is wanted by reader. If you put yourself in reader shoes,you will notice that you will need a short but full of important point report compare to the long ebook.
100% makes sense to me. I've done some searching across the net and with all your comments here I've written a list of about 14 potential titles. I've just now written an outline to an ebook,using some of these titles as ideas and for my first report I'll take one of the outline points and expand-I'll do this with each report then down the track i'll combine it into an ebook. I figure this won't burn me out and i'll have topic ideas for awhile at least. Thanks
Any time I've bought a report, I've noticed that they're usually focused on a single specific subject or topic and discuss it all the way through to the end of the report. Ebooks seem to be focused on a particular subject, but approach it from different angles and seem to cover a wider variety of things about that subject through different chapters. Most of the reports I've gotten have never included chapters, and are almost always straight-forward text. If it's a quality report, it'll be as informative as most ebooks, but I think any report will run into the problem of being 'lesser than' an ebook because of the general way they're designed. Ebooks generally hold more information, and are worth more by most people's standards. It all really depends on the quality of the report and ebook in the end though.
@ Joshua Creighton Makes sense. After revising my outline,i've created another outline that's a little more focused. looks like i'll be writing an ebook! lol.
