Is ebooks the way to go

Is this the way to go?

Finding niche markets for info products can be an absolute nightmare if you don't know where to look. Whilst publishing niche ebooks is a proven business that can make you a lot of money, finding niches to exploit can be both time consuming and disheartening if you struggle to find any good markets.
Thankfully there's hope. In this article I'm going to show you a simple strategy you can use for finding as many niche markets to sell ebooks to as you could want.

This is the first fantastic resource and won't cost you a penny to sign up to. Go to the above site and simply type in any number of niche markets that interest you. If you had an interest in golf you'd simply type in "golf" and at the last try you'd get back over 71,000 sub niches. Then all you need to do is make a list of the more popular sub niches (those with the greatness number of searches) within the general niche of golf. These are all potential niches that you can exploit

This is a great resource as it practically hands you niche ideas on a plate. The Dummies Company has made creating niche products an art form in its own right. Search through their titles in general niches that interest you and jot down potential ebook topics.

The bookselling giant amazon.com are another great resource for finding niche markets you'd never have thought about entering. Go the web site and in the search bar select "books". Then type in a niche you'd like to create a product around. For example type in "fishing". Go through the results and start jotting down all of the niche markets that jump out at you, in this case fly fishing, course fishing etc.
When many people hear this technique they immediately think "wait a minute how can I compete with Amazon?". You won't be of course you'll be catering for a different market. When people buy from Amazon they have to wait days for a book to arrive. As ebook publishers we can offer instant fulfillment as our customers get our info products straight away as a download.
Another great thing about downloadable info products is bizarrely they are seen to have a higher perceived value. You might be able to charge fifteen dollars for a book selling it via Amazon. However if you sell a downloadable info product you can charge up to fifty dollars. Crazy but true.

Article directories are, in my eyes, the best way to find subjects to create ebooks around. The directory Go Articles is just one of many in which you can go to the site, type in a niche subject in the search bar and get literally hundreds and hundreds of ebook ideas.
The important thing here and with any of the other resources I have mentioned, is to just make a huge list of potential topics, and then when you're done go to http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ and type in your topics. If there are people searching for information on the subject (at least five thousand a month) you've just found an ebook topic that could turn into a very lucrative home based business.
I want to quickly dispel a myth about the internet. Don't for one second think you can just throw up a site, sit back and become rich. Many would have you believe the internet is just one huge get rich quick scheme. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Done properly ebook publishing can change your financial situation dramatically.
We're not aiming to become a millionaire here. We want to build a network of mini sites that each make about 1K a month. Being able to come up with an endless amount of niche product ideas is the key here, then all you need to do is create the product.
I know what you're thinking. "All you need to do" is create a product. They're hard to create right? Well no actually you don't need to write a single sentence of your ebook. You can hire people to do so at elance.com. For around five hundred to seven hundred bucks freelance writers will create the entire book for you.
You are an internet marketer, not a writer. Have one product created, set up pay per click campaigns, write a press release and blast a few articles over the net on the topic of your ebook. Then have another one created, and so on.
Multiple streams of autopilot income is the secret of wealthy entrepreneurs from around the globe. Now thanks to ebooks and the internet, anyone can set up streams of income that sends money into their bank account even whilst they sleep.
