    Hi,

    I am currently working on my companies first ebook to place into clickbank and get my feet wet as a publisher :)

    I was wondering what you recommended is good as a minimum, at the moment its around 30 - would you say this is enough or would it be better if it was a little more full :)

    Thanks for you advice

    As I said in another thread - the length does not matter. Some eBooks are 200 pages long and full of nothing. Others are 60 pages long with all the information you can find about a specific niche.

    Make sure your eBook contains all the information it claims to have. For example, my eBook is about passing the driving test, and I give there everything a driving student should master before taking the test. It is 70 pages long. Is it enough? Yes. Can it be longer? Definitely. Should it be longer? I don't think so.

    If the eBook is currently 30 pages and not finished yet, I'd say it has a good length. If it's done with EVERYTHING you need to know about the topic of the eBook, I'd say it has a good length. If it says nothing important, I'd say put more content.

    Good luck in the publishing world,
    nadavs

    Its the content not the length which is important.

    I must agree with you. I wrote a 3 page eBook straight to the point, very helpful.

    So if you write 50 pages full of B.S. its not worth anything but if you write an eBook that will help your readers than great its worth something.

    I'm sure if it was 1 sentence on a guaranteed way to make a million bucks it would be a success! Quality not quantity ;)

    When I made my first ebook (just got accepted a few days ago), I shot for 80 pages and ended up just around there.

    Unless you want loads of refund requests, you shouldn't call a 3-page ebook an "ebook".
    You should call it a "report" and your customers will love you for that.

    60 about the minimum. Nadav is correct when talking about quality over quantity. But unfortunately, many buyers out there like to see big page count in addition to quallity.
