One of the most difficult aspects of eBook writing is knowing whether or not your ebook's niche is a winner or a dud. There are methods for conducting market research that will give you a good idea whether or not an idea is profitable, however none of these methods are completely trustworthy. Today I will provide three steps to help you accurately determine whether or not your eBook will sell.
Step One There are two options in this first step. The first option is the easiest. Simply create a short report based on the eBook you want to create. So, in essence, you're creating a short version of your ebook. Plan to give this report away in order to generate subscribers. The other method is a little more time consuming, but also more accurate. For this method, create your ebook, but don't go all out. Make it a bit shorter than your final eBook would be. Set a low price point of this ebook. Once you decide which option to use, proceed to step two.
Step Two The second step involves creating tightly targeted articles on each of your ebook's topics and uploading them to one very high trafficked article directory. I suggest you write 50 altogether over a ten day period. In your resource box, place an invitation to either signup for your free report or if you created the short ebook, direct readers to your sales letter. You will get a good idea about the profitability of your niche based on the response you get. The next step is to be performed in conjunction with this step for maximum results.
Step Three For this third step, you'll create 10 videos and submit each of them to three highly trafficked video sharing sites. I recommend uploading one video per day (to each site). Use the same instructions I provided for the articles in step two by creating content which is targeted to your niche.
I also recommend that you do some promotion for your articles and videos by posting links from your social network sites to them. This will give you a little more link juice and help you generate more traffic.
The key for doing this technique right is speed. You can't take six months to write the 50 articles and produce the 10 videos. Performance of this content in a specific time frame is important. I recommend this entire process take you no longer than 10 days. After 10 days, you should be getting subscribers or customers if your niche is hot. If you have hardly any response, then you should seriously reconsider writing an eBook in this niche.
This method may sound terribly painstaking to you. However, keep in mind that your efforts wouldn't be wasted. If there's very little response to your article and videos, change the links out and add links to affiliate products. On the other hand, if you get a good response, then you already have a jumpstart on advertising.
