I have been reading up on turning your ebooks into an actual published book. Does anyone know or have any information on about this? Also, a product could actually be just selling your services correct? Keep It SEO Simples last blog post..Wikiweblog Covers The World

I think creating your own product is a great idea. It is the easy thing to do and you get all the money for yourself. I think we all love being our own boss. If you don’t then I know you’re just lying to yourself.

Adsense isn't amazing. But I am currently building up my first product which I am going to sell and therefore I cannot advertise it yet. Therefore adsense is just a good way to fill in the space and still make an extra couple of bucks here and there. So yes it is not the best in the world, but you can't bag it out too much.

You’re welcome! The other side of the equation to selling an e-book is marketing it. I have seen many websites created for the sole purpose of selling an e-book. This gives me very little reason to want it. Selling an e-book in conjunction with a blog, however, is different. Assuming that you have already posted a lot of quality blog posts, that means that your readers already know that you are a worthwhile read. It would seem to me that establishing a solid reader base with a quality blog would make it far easier to then turn around and sell an e-book related to your blog niche to these same avid readers. Some more of my 2 cents

Now that's some very good advice! I would agree that there are to many products out there that are just "products" because blogs or people needs a product. But, I believe you have the correct mindset to go into creating something that will help others, teach others, or improve others! Than your going into the right direction!

Sometimes I wonder if people are trying too hard to sell something. If you are just trying to sell something for the sake of selling it, chances are the quality is going to suffer. I especially wonder, with the sheer quantity of ‘e-books’ popping up all over the place, how many of these authors really something unique and valuable to say.

So, you know, I think that the “I need to develop a product – what should it be?” approach is totally wrong. It really should happen that you hit on a great idea first, try it out, and then make it int a product if you think you have something worthwhile.

Hey Franklin,

As I have thought of doing an ebook as well. Would you suggest to actually create an ebook to sell or just to give away. I continue to hear that ebooks do not sell and it’s best to give them away to create more traffic and/throw in some affiliate links.

Also, I am not that good of a writer so it would probably cost me, and I would like to add some graphics to the ebook. So while that’s limit cost, it’s still seems to be a pretty penny for me.

Interesting In Your Opinion!

I also am not creative and have a really hard time trying to figure out how to develop a product. I personally think that Adsense is easy and is a good tool for overall development of cashflow. I'd love to hire you for a product development gig! Let me know. The Almost Millionaires last blog post..Where Is Your Cash In An Emergency?

It is hard to really recommend any one thing to create and sell. I think one of the easiest things is creating an ebook that tells a person how to do something. I think the best part is that it doesn’t cost you anything to do so. And I noticed that you mention the cost involved is one reason you talk yourself out of creating your own product.

Hey Franklin,

This is one that I have a lot of trouble with. I know I know I know….that I should get my own product out there, but for the life of me I have thought and thought and can not come up with something. I don’t know if I am just trying to hit it out of the ball park with just one killer idea or product. But I have started to make a few baby steps, but than I either just drop the ball or figure that someone has already made this.

Also, I have always talked myself out of it because of the cost involved in getting or making a product.

Do you have any suggestions for me personally! I would love to be the next blogging millionaire, and I hope I can learn from a guru like you!

Thanks so much,

Eric
