    Hello Everyone,

    I was wondering what niche of ebook is selling well at the moment?

    I understand it is always hard to predict but I am sure there are a number of people here who make alot of money from ebooks, so whats hot and whats not?

    Thanks

    Jonathan

    Well, on DP the most popular ebooks seem to be on methods to make decent sums of money, usually around $100 per day, but sometimes going up to $1k a day. I think what you need to focus on is trying to capture a big audience, and using good writing skills.

    In DP, just like what kiteguy123 said, a money making guide is the most popular niche to go with.

    Outside of DP, all niche have a potential to make money. But a niches with high demand that I see is internet marketing, real estate and health.

    The making $$ ones sell well but it's a crowded market. Write one on something you are good at.

    Yes, this is an extremely crucial part to ebook selling. If you write about something that you are unfamiliar with, then you will struggle and the article wont seem as good. Try and do a topic you are already familiar with :)

    You should concentrate on a market that people have a need in, and you will do well. :)

    Write an eBook on a popular niche like weight loss, acne or green energy and sell the rights of the eBook on SitePoint for $500 and spare change.

    Thanks for all the feedback, I am thinking of getting someone to write it for me, and so need a title, but I am still not sure, the content writer I have in mind has recently created an ebook and sold over 100 copies here on DP, so he is a good writer I just need to give him a title
