Is This Stupid or What?

The ebook market is HUGE, as long as there's people wanting it - and it sounds like you're planning something people would want (if it looks good I'd buy it)

I'd have a look at other ebooks around that area and see how they're making it work - have a look at the most popular and take what they're doing right and apply it to yours. If you do write it though, PM me and give me the heads up.

Thank you so much for yours response, yes I'm going to go look at the other books out and see the positioning of their book, good thinking.

It's not something people here want. Most people on this forum are looking for fast and easy ways to make money.

The personal development, self help market is huge. And it's crowded. One thing you need to ask yourself is why would someone to buy your book when there are 100s of well known self help gurus out there. Not saying you can't be successful but you're going to have a tough time competing against some of the icons of this market. Might be wise to promote self help products as an affiliate first and build a list. Then you can break into the business gradually. Good luck.

I see this as backwards.

Identify a need then produce a solution, not vice versa.

Thanks guys, get an angle, that really makes sense because everyone does the same things. I just need to bring out the twist on the vanilla ice cream cone. Appreciate the responses but let's bring it back into the main topic.

I think you're a little hung up on the applying it part. Make sure the info is valid. Whether people actually apply it is not the point.

Sounds like your ebook will be helpful to many. So many people are not getting things done, and maybe they just don't know how to plan and avoid distractions.

I personally love to read books on subjects like this. I'm constantly working on myself as well as my business. Please when you created this book? Would love a copy of this. I'm one that apply's what I learn?

To the OP, if you are confident you have a knack for cracking the psychological code or have a philosophy that will encourage others to get off their a$$ and actually apply the knowledge you speak of, then what about this...

Create a 'teaser' or free report first, slap a decent eCover on it, build a squeeze page with an opt-in and "Give-it-Away" for FREE, but stipulate you want feedback, real reviews, real people interacting with your work, and telling you what it did or didn't do for them?

Then spend the $37 and get a War Room pass, and give it away in their too, for it is there 'seasoned' marketer's will likely give you solid feedback on your work, not the projection of what you might do.

From there gather the data (*honest feedback, criticism, and applause -whichever it may be) and redefine your report by writing the actual book.

Just assuming your gonna hit a home run because you (like many of us here) see that people rarely take action or implement the knowledge shared, is an angle alright... I see it too.

However, as you skim through the self-development and mind warriors thread... almost anything you could write about, scrape, re-write, or even publish has already been said, as travelinguy mentions, and to compete against Joe Vitale, all the LOA stuff, Napoleon Hill's and Dale Carnegie's is going to be a tough nut to crack... especially when people already know;

"Those who write or create said products... are usually already successful and have a PROVEN formula."

If your PROVEN formula is some groundbreaking revolutionary new manner of thought, then you should use it to your advantage, and NOT tell a single soul... at least until YOU can actually PROVE it works... Hence, your idea is fine and dandy, it is nothing more than a theory UNTIL you; yourself can PROVE to have had success with it!!!

So many people come in here, read a few threads about making money online, and they buy a book that tells them "How they can master FB ads" for example, and all of a sudden they're jumping off into the MMO community with no freaking clue how to build a site, set up an autoresponder, write copy, or do diddle outside of dreaming they can 'copy' that system, write a book, and wah-lah be rich.

Sorry, doesn't work that way.

for me actually it'll help me to get some point of view about how to get things done. sometimes, when we start doing something,we just don't know what to do next,what should we do after that.it can be because too many idea or plan that we have,or we just can't decide what's teh best thing to do next.so i think your book will be so helpful.

Money spent in on highly effective sources will make things happen faster whether you see a negative or a positive roi. Outsourcing and advertising is what I'm referring to. Anything is else is work work work! My 2 cents.

Yeah I agree I'm getting very good ideas from this topic I hope other people can take something good from this also. Appreciate the feedback.

Sorry to sound harsh but helping one person is not a business. It is great if you can help people AND make money but it doesn't always work that way. If you are not making enough money to pay the bills you are wasting your time unless you are retired and can afford to spend time that does not produce income. If you want to start a business you have to approach everything as a businessperson. There are many people that have managed to do extremely well doing both but they are always very good at making at least a minimum amount of money to keep pursuing their altruistic goals.

People dont like to implement "self help" stuff (even though your ebook isn't about self-help... even though it kinda sounds like it). I wouldn't buy it personally. I'd rather read a computer networking book... at least i can master the interview and dupe the IT manager into paying me $20/hour as a 2nd tier network tech.
