      I can't suggest you a certain topic right now. But you can get a lot of insight by browsing through this forum.

      Take notes on the common questions. Try to find topics that are being actively discussed. You can do this for any niche. People want to save time and they will be grateful, if they can get the condensed knowledge in your e-book.

        Good writing comes from a passion or specialist knowledge that you have. First decide what it is you have to offer and if there is a market for it.

        If your looking to make money online I would start by setting up a blog and get your writing on there. If that goes well then you can look to create e-books / print books in your niche in the future.

        Hi Gunslinger,

        Michael gave you great advice. You'll need to improve your own writing skills.

        For me,writing ebooks is a very fun activity that produces tons of benefits.

        An advice i can give you is to establish your reasons for wanting to write an ebook because this will have a major impact on your success.

        Reasons may be for make money, promoting a business, education, or something totally different.

        Whatever your reasons, write them down. It will help you a lot to motivate you if the going gets tough.

        Good luck with your first ebook!

        Ebooks? Best topic would be the warriors suggestions. LOL
        It can be affiliate marketing? Internet marketing? All about online business?
        Or can be strategies on Internet marketing? There are many topics to relate on this things.

    Hello Gunslinger,

    If you'll be writing e-books or whatever...you'll need to improve your writing skills (or outsource). There are errors in what you wrote, and that leaves a lot to be desired. It makes one a tad uncomfortable about the quality of the proposed e-book.

    There are a lot of resources that can help you improve your skills on this forum. So, don't be discouraged. Work hard... use a proofreader and editor. With time, if you really work hard at it, you'll experience great improvement.

    There are very few people with a perfect mastery of the language. But, we must do the best we can...

    I truly wish you the best in your pursuits. Welcome to the best internet marketing forum.

    Michael Newman

    Guys, I was about to write a post giving similar advice to most of you, but then I looked at his post count. This is his very first post.

    Then I re-read the original post. He is not asking for a niche to create an e-book in, but what WARRIORS want to see in an e-book.

    Then I considered the way the post was written.

    After looking at all of those factors together, I let my cynicism show. What makes anyone believe he would be qualified to write an e-book which would provide quality to any of us?

    I have no doubt he can LEARN the skills if he wants, but he does not currently have the knowledge or skills to create an e-book which any of us would wish to buy.

    GunSlinger...If I'm reading this all wrong, please correct me. But right now I think it is best if you start studying on the Warrior Forum, not offering to create an E-Book for us.

      That's why I wrote my answer the way that I did. So that he can familiarize himself with this forum, but he sees the value in doing so as well.

    Read through the forum.... every post is an idea of a hot topic ebook.

    No matter what the topic is, if it identifies a problem, you can find the solution and put it into an ebook format.

    Do you KNOW how to write an ebook?

    It is not an easy task....

    Note that when you think you have finished it, you should have a friend review it for errors and flow.

    Warriors are great reviewers. They will let you know, point blank, what is good and what is bad about how you put it together.

    Since you have a lazy grand laying about doing nothing, you should invest it in yourself....by learning how to Write For Profit.

    There are plenty of sources on the web on how to do this.

    Writing is a skill you can have for life.... on any topic, or your topic of interest. Yes, this can include hobbies. Many authors have had great success by turning their hobby into a business.

    Before you start, you should ask yourself the following questions:

    What Drives you?
    What makes you want to get up in the morning?
    What is your PASSION?

    The topic which comes to mind that motivates you to tell everyone about a certain thing is what you should concentrate on.

    Example:
    One of My Mentors discussed how he met with a freind who said he didnt know what to write about and couldnt write a book or report to save himself.

    As the conversation continued, the topic came up about credit cards.

    Thereupon, the friend commenced at 30 minute pontification on the in's and out's and anything about credit cards that he knew, and there wasnt much he didnt know about credit cards.

    My mentor looked at him in astonishment and said "I thought you said you didnt know anything about any topic that you could write about."

    Problem solved!

    You see, it doesnt really matter what the topic is, as long as it is not racially motivated or a book of hate or about any socially unacceptable topic.

    Once that is done, you will then want to hook up with a payment processor and get your own domain and hosting.

    Plus get some pretty pictures as an ebook cover.

    Then there are banners and affiliate tools if you are going to offfer an affiliate program with it.

    This is where the expenses come in, apart from learning how to write in the first place.

    Not as easy as you first thought huh?

    Read through this forum to give you ideas on topics. We are not going to suggest topics to you.

    And yet, this is a great place to find some great ideas.

    Good luck!

    Yes this is true Barry!

    If you did want to start writing you must write about something you're already knowledgeable in and passionate about!

    I want to read something that you enjoyed writing, the one thing I hate more than anything myself is writing something I do not give a damn about because I know it shows through in what I type so much.

    I don't want you to simply write something for the money...hopefully that will follow but what are you passionate about?

    One great way to see what Warriors want is to view the most popular keywords at the Warrior Plus website. Provide an ebook on one or more of any of those topics and you will spark a relatively higher level of interest.

    Please don't throw something together but if you would like to create an ebook then by all means go for it. Make sure you can prove yourself though.
