Quickest, easiest, most profitable?

It is true that you can write, format and upload a Kindle book in a day.

BUT, it is more important to write great books than it is to write them fast.

Whatever you do, you still have to market it - and that's the time-consuming element.

Short term, there are dozens of ways to make a few dollars quickly - long-term, recurring income takes time up front to build.

No - almost definitely not all the same thing.

These two "options" suit people with completely different skill-sets.

"Most profitable" is particularly hard to predict. Very, very occasional, exceptional people with tremendous business-analytical and marketing skills can make literally millions from Kindle e-books (John Locks springs to mind: not much of a writer, by his own admission, but a great business-analyst and marketer with decades of successful commercial experience behind him before he ever wrote a word of fiction). For many thousands of others, learning how to make a living as a ClickBank affiliate must be a considerably more promising prospect, I'd think.

One thing's for sure: they're both activities with a significant learning-curve, and the people who do well from either are likely to be those with the judgement to distinguish between reliable and unreliable information by which to choose to be guided.

I'd guess that it probably would be. Whether it's also the "method" that gives any specific individual the better chances of earning any significant money is perhaps another matter. It might be that, as well.

The answer probably depends partly on the income-level sought, too. My own chances of having been able to produce anything like my current ClickBank income by writing books for Kindle instead - and I say this even as a fairly professional writer - would clearly have been (and still are) absolutely minuscule.

I will also go with your WSO. It is much easier and more profitable to write and promote an ebook rather than promoting the Clickbank offers.

You'll never build a real business chasing bullshit promises of "quick, easy and profitable" in a WSO.

Instead, you'll be back buying another crummy WSO a month later when you've lost hope on the one purchased previously.

Quit chasing dreams and build something that adds value.

Think LONG TERM.

Don't focus on finding out the fastest way to make money, instead focus on building a REAL long term business that will allow you to make money for years to come.

What about it?

You'll earn sales quickly on Kindle. Products that have never previously sold in other online mediums will sell quickly on Kindle. Hopefully Kindle doesn't ban you though, but that's another story.

Selling a product on your site would yield you more profits. You get access to the customer name and can sell to them over and over again.

In this modern age, if faster goes with better, all the better for me;but if I have to chose, then the best does it . . . not even better!

I would pick what I enjoy and understand the best, then branch out from there!

You can ask yourself - how much can you write in a day? Even if you are a good writer it might be no more than 10 pages. If you are quick you could get a decent eBook done in 14 days maybe, formatting and proofreading inclusive.
But the hard part is, as always, promoting that product...
Promoting Clickbank offers you do a short cut: you skip product creation and just promote an offer from someone else. If that person has a great product, that might be a good deal.
In the end it all comes down to one point:

how much traffic can you drive to the offer?

I guess I'd buy a WSO with a step-by-step instruction on how to drive traffic to my site rather than writing an eBook because that is, in the end, all that counts.

The only thing about kindle is it doesn't really help you build a list. You'd be far better writing and selling your own clickbank product, plus you'd automatically have a list of paying customers.

They are both good.
Whatever you decide make sure that:
1. You love doing it.
2. You are faster at one than the other
3. You are willing to stick around until it makes cash.(you can make money SLOW, there's no easy button as most people want to hear)

You need time to create from scratch some good content, maybe you can hire someone to do this job for you, but it is worth because if you will find a good niche you will have a very good visibility on Amazon.

"Quickest, easiest and most profitable"- that does not exist in reality but in Im'ers dream!
