I am Doctor I intrested to launch my New ebook

The noise to signal ratio in this thread certainly veers onto the noise side. So much negativity and people rushing to post whether they have anything to say or not!

Dr Hassan, let's get right down to basics:

1. Is there a market for such a book?

You can look at this is several ways: see if people are searching for solutions to hemorrhoids in volume, or see if other people have already created books to help them.

In this case, 'hemroid treatments', 'hemorrhoids cure', 'hemorrhoids treatments', 'treatment for hemorrhoid' all get over 100,000 global monthly searches, and when you start adding in other misspellings and synonyms such as piles, the volume of search traffic goes way up.

As to other products that are already out there, ClickBank currently have 14 listed. Most are low gravity, but the top product there has a gravity of over 168 and has been sold since early 2008 - with a recurring billing element. I would say that shows that the market is reasonably healthy and certainly worth considering.

A look on Amazon will also show a very active market, including 18 Kindle ebooks already!

2. How much can you charge for such a book?

As Dr. Mani rightly said, the authority that such a book being written by a specialist doctor is something that should be considered. But you must also look closely at what is currently available and how much the market will stand.

The ebooks on ClickBank range from $5 to $49, but 6 of the 14 are priced at either $37 or $39 (the top seller is $37) so that would appear to be a reasonably price point.

3. Language.

I'm not here to bash your written English skills. As far as I'm concerned, your posts here have been perfectly intelligible (and indeed a lot more so than many so-called native English speakers here on the forum can manage). You have already stated that you have a writer to help you and that's fine.

What is very important is that you get the tone of your language right.

The doctors who manage to write popular books that become bestsellers all tend to write in a very friendly, almost chatty style. They don't dumb down the science, but they do have a way of explaining it in layman's terms. That's the key.

You need to make it clear that you are an expert, but still write in a way that is aimed at patients who have less knowledge and understanding than you do, and not fall into the mistake of writing a book that only other medical professionals can follow.

4. Marketing.

Marketing encompasses the stuff you do to promote your book and the efforts you make to attract other people to sell it for you (affiliates).

On the former, it is useful to know if you are entering a market that is already so well covered that gaining traction for you message will be difficult. There are lots of ways to determine this, but perhaps the simplest is to see how many websites are listed by Google for an exact search of your primary keyword. In this case, "haemorrhoids cure" returns 189,000 results - quite a high level of competition (I'd prefer there to be under 100,000) but certainly not so high as to be impossible to get a site ranked.

You will need to understand how backlinking works and, of increasing importance to off-page SEO, how to use social media to awaken Google's interest in your site.

For the latter, selling on ClickBank is really all about affiliates and although I personally hate the fact that most affiliates insist on having everything done for them, the reality is that the more affiliate tools you can provide - pre-written emails, banners, articles etc etc - the more affiliates will promote your book over another.

Personal networking - through perhaps offering articles to health related websites etc - is also a way to generate affiliate sales in the longer term.

Yes, it is a lot of work, but the rewards can be significant.

But that's all getting way ahead of yourself for now.

Right now, forget all that. Write your book. If your research tells you that there is a market and you can write something that is better, more effective and more interesting than anyone else has already done (although, that's probably optional) then get writing. And make it the best you can - after all it is your medical reputation, so make your book a good advertisement for your offline practice.

Marketing comes later and really isn't a very hard part of the process. It is time consuming and sometimes frustrating, but it isn't hard. The people who tell you that you need to be a marketing expert before you can be a writer are just plain wrong. It is important, of course it is, but you'll learn what you need as you go along. You need to understand your market before you start, but that's a different thing.

5. Be careful who you take advice from.

One of the problems with forums like this is that there are way too many people who post just to see their name in print, whether they have anything of value to say or not. Mostly not. Look instead for answers from people like Dr. Mani who have real experience to offer and a proven track record to authenticate what they tell you.

Good luck with your book - I hope you end up making piles of cash (I couldn't resist!)

If you take a look at clickbank, IM products have high gravity, some of them even more than 1000. So I'm assuming other niches are harder to earn.
