      I asked, becaused I've been told by a few that if you can give value, length shouldn't matter. One person even said that he makes tons of money with a 20 page eBook. Am I missing something or can you really have great value in 20 pages?

          Wait...that's another topic all together.
          I guess my confusion has to do with pricing. How do you price an eBook? If you have exceptional value, can you price your eBook at 29.95 vs. 9.95 vs. 3.95? I feel like the value might be there, but if the person who has bought the eBook isn't skilled enough to implement the techniques, they will get frustrated and consequentially, rationalize the "return of the eBook." Is this too far fetched?

              Don't make the process harder than it has to be.
              Will do so Joseph. I appreciate the help. You seem genuinely interested in helping and that my friend, sells.

    I couldn't give a damn how long an eBook is, all I care about is the value that's in it.

      Exactly. If an ebook was 400 pages long, but told me exactly what I need, I'm a happy bunny. Same if it was 10 pages.

      Long as the need is fulfilled in the book.

    Most wso ebooks are usually 15-40 pages or so. From my experience at least, those that I purchased. Some are over 200+ pages though.

      Good to know. I always thought there was an unwritten rule that every eBook has to be around 50,000 words.

        Clickbank book are not books in the strict sense. They are a digital products which can include, audio and video.

        The typical print book you would buy on Amazon is normally a minimum of 200 pages. People don't expect that from a clickbank ebook. A clickbank ebook is really a 'report' on how to solve a problem. Anything under 100 pages I would classify as a 'report'.

        People expectations will not be disappointed if:

        1. The content is good, it is fresher than what's available in print - print books have long lead time so can the information can be out of date

        2. Has something not available elsewhere

        3.The ebook can explain something better or easier than elsewhere. If the ebook is even 20 pages and does this, it will be seen as valuable for money.

        By comparing ebooks and print books we are not comparing like with like, they seem to have evolved to do things differently - especially in the information field.
