I've successfully had my website on the homepage of Digg.com five times and am thinking about writing an ebook with tips on how to get your website on the frontpage of Digg. Here are my questions: 1. Would you be interested in such a book? It would include informative tips from my experience on how to write good articles and get them on the homepage of Digg.com. 2. How much would you be willing to pay for such an ebook? The ebook would be 10-20 pages long. 3. What format would you prefer the ebook to be in? 4. Would you be more likely to buy it if it were sold on Amazon? 5. Would you pay significantly more for a printed edition of the ebook in book form?
Sounds interesting! Since it's kinda short (10-20 pages), I'm thinking $10 would be reasonable. What price range were you thinking?
Personally I'd love to see more tips like these given out for free to newbies. If you still want to make money, setup a site about it with ads / cpa ads.
If you have a landing page and go the google adwords route you could make a decent profit. It's not about how good the product is it's about how well marketed it is. I'm sure the ebook will have lots of good stuff in it but for $10 most of the digg audience/DP audience probably wouldn't be interested because I don't think there is any fixed set of rules on how to get a better chance at the homepage. Just my $0.02
Never even heard of digg, so you would have a very small market, something to bear in mind if you go with adwords. I suspect becuase of the quality control google has in adwords it would be expensive both becuase of the keywords used and the number of clicks needed to make a sale with a niche product. Just my 2c.
Not that its a bad idea, if you can do it: do it! I'm not saying its a bad idea just commenting on the marketing.
I'd be interested in reviewing it but I'm not particularly interested in having my pages hit the frontpage - I've given up on the front page as those items never seem to be interesting. The upcoming stories seem to hold the interesting stuff.
Make it a free bonus for a larger package. I woundt chare for it though because I dont see very many people buying it.
Hmmm, free i guess. Just run some adsense on it. This can boost the popularity of your website/blog if you will have more information like that. More people are likely going to visit your site if they find the information very interesting.
One of my sites got frontpaged, 2000+ diggs. Got 50,000 uniques off of it plus 10+ backlinks, and it got featured (because of that) on some other popular blogs, which meant more traffic. So my guess is among webmasters his market would be big. And you might want to find about about Digg
nope, if you have good story, it will be up not matter what. If story suck, no matter how many digg club you join or digg friend you have, you still won't make it
Only 50,0000 unique and 10 backlinks? Seem like you would get more. Did you make any good adsense revenue?
That and I don't have any ads on that site But it did drop my Alexa ranking from way in the obscure millions to 110,000. Alexa is horrible anyways, but still.
1. Would you be interested in such a book? It would include informative tips from my experience on how to write good articles and get them on the homepage of Digg.com. Yes. 2. How much would you be willing to pay for such an ebook? The ebook would be 10-20 pages long. I would pay about $5. However if you were able to get the length closer to 50 pages I would be willing to pay $25. 3. What format would you prefer the ebook to be in? Doesn't matter, though I think PDF would probably be the easiest. 4. Would you be more likely to buy it if it were sold on Amazon? No. 5. Would you pay significantly more for a printed edition of the ebook in book form? No - I wouldn't purchase it in book form, only in ebook form.
I agree with all jeter said, although more pages would not mean more money for me. I would think that the number of ideas probably wouldn't warrent more than 10 good pages. I might go up to $10 if you could convince me to buy it at all. It would be easyer to convice me if you had other things that I already that I though were interesting.
