Need Advice about Some Business Ideas

Hi everyone

I am still searching stuff and studying material mostly to decide what steps should I take.
I want advice and suggestions about somethings,

1- I like books/novels and sometimes I can be a huge bookworm. I have Tons of pdfs/soft copies of novels that either I got from my friends or downloaded from different sites. Can I sell any of them on net?

2-I am thinking to get into clickbank business. Books/Novels is my niche. Still looking for it there. I want to make a website about books/Novels like a social point for readers and also add books to download there. Is that a good idea? What is the legal way to start it. Keeping in mind the copy right thing. I am good at this niche and have helped a friend in the past creating website contents (Mostly novel pdfs and some reviews). I thing it will get me somewhere.

3-Any other option that you guys could suggest for this niche , you think would be better for me.

4- This might seem very weird question but was in my mind so .. Is there any kind of job opportunity in the online world where you don't have to capture buyers yourself, instead you work by yourself and provide stuff to some company/any other person.I know about freelancing/PTC kind of things. Are there any more options?

5- When people say "Google Loves new and quality content" , does it mean same information told with different and better style of layout and language. What makes content actually better and Google's beloved?

Thank you. I started here and now I feel I am going somewhere.

    It has to be written in a secret language.

    You seem to be overthinking this.

    Better dip your hands in the pond and get started.

    Since you are new, just try it out with your passion first, which is what you already mentioned.

    You seem to want to be a product creator so get started with your site, build a following, get that initial audience that will want your stuff.

    Things will snowball as you learn more ways to market your products.

      I would not sell the pdf's unless you got them with a resell license.

      Sell your used books on amazon via fba

      create a review website for books and use the amazon associates program.

      This is just a start, since books seem to be your "passion" then this is the best place to begin. Once you get going and get some learning and experience under your belt, then just expand into other niches (scale up)

      good luck

    I would go for short novels as this appears to be a higher demand according to my recent research.

    No. Unless you have specific permission from the creator, you may not sell other people's creative work on the Internet. There are a very few exceptions such as public domain works, licensed books, plr that you bought, etc, but I doubt that any of these exceptions will apply in your case.

    Many people begin their IM career with Clickbank; however, "Books/Novels" is not a niche. It's a huge and dynamic market. I would suggest you dig way down deep into the market and focus all your effort on a specific narrow corner of the market or else you'll be competing with Amazon, B&N, and all the other big retailers that have put so many Mom-Pop bookstores out of business.

    Pick some narrow but interesting sub, sub market aspect of books/novels that interests you. Do your market research and determine if there is a hungry audience for the subject.

    You might think about a membership site or a community of like-minded readers. You would make money through recurring monthly membership fees rather than selling books. You could include a private forum where you discussed various titles. They might work well if you focus on a particular genre or "period" where there was a lot of interest.

    True. No, new and quality content is typically unique content that isn't found all over the Internet. You can have new content, however, by reviewing or critiquing what others have written. In my mind, it's always best if your "new" content expresses ideas, thoughts, and feelings that go beyond mere "I liked this for the following reasons" type of reviews.

    Your first step is to do market research and validate your idea (whatever that ends up being) to make sure you can position a business to help your audience (prospects). This is not a time to trust your gut feelings.

    Good luck to you,

    Steve

    Business ideas are not one stop approach but it is something that needs updation at a regular basis. I prefer going with some blogs. infographics kind of stuff to get the things done up with. One among them which I prefer is the entrepreneurship ideas from Career Bolster. Regularly updated blogs are an absolute idea of getting updated.
