Predictions: What eBooks Will Sell in 2005?
BY JOE VITALE AND BILL HIBBLER
Now that we've finished
The Ultimate Guide to Creating Moneymaking Ebooks people are
writing to us, asking for some tips on what will sell in 2005. We say
someone could make good money if they created one or more of the
following:
Joe: Anti-Aging — Almost
everyone wants to live forever.
The number of pills, potions, lotions,
and other products out there is dizzying. You could collect them all and
review them all. Act as a scout and tell us what works, and why.
Become the anti-aging specialist. Or,
if you didn't want to focus on all of the products available, just
center on the lotions, or the herbs, or whatever.
Bill: Home Automation — Once the
domain of the wealthy, remote control houses are becoming affordable for
the masses. Wireless Internet access and piping music throughout the
house is just the beginning. Information that helps people make the best
choices for their needs will be extremely valuable.
Joe: Smart Phone Reviews — I
pulled the rest of my hair out when I looked at all the smart phones out
there, which are mobile phones that also get and send email. If someone
would write a consumer's report guide to smart phones, others may buy
it.
Bill: Diabetes — There are 18.2
million people in the U.S. alone who have diabetes. Unfortunately, those
numbers are growing. I was recently diagnosed with Type II diabetes and
have become very interested in getting information on diets, vitamin
supplements, testing equipment and other products.
A lot of the information currently
available is quite confusing and often biased. I would gladly have paid
for an ebook that summarized and reviewed the various options.
Joe: How-To's Per Product —
Every product these days comes with a manual, which is why we need
someone to translate them. They all suck. When I bought my Blackberry
smart phone, I desperately sought a "dummies guide" to how to use it.
EVERY product could use this. The more popular the product, the larger
audience of prospects you have to market to.
Bill: Ipods — I got a new Ipod
over the holidays and I'm not alone. Ipods have passed Macintosh
computers as Apple's biggest selling product. Since I got mine, I've
been searching high and low for reviews of replacement headphones,
carrying cases, car adaptors and the like.
I know the Ipod can do a lot of things
besides just play music not covered in the manual. I see lots of
opportunities for ebooks here.
Joe: Pet Behavior — Pet lovers
LOVE their pets. I'm currently spending about $10,000 to build an
unusual cat enclosure for some of our pets here. True pet lovers will
sell their first born to take care of their furry friends.
Show them ways to pamper, train, help
or heal their pets and they'll make you purr-fectly wealthy.
Bill: Atkins-Friendly Restaurants
-- The Atkins diet has become such a huge phenomenon that many
restaurants are offering No-Carb menu or Atkins-friendly fare on their
menus. A website or ebook directory of those restaurants would be very
popular with travelers.
Joe: Eat and Still Lose Weight
Cookbooks -- There will always be a need for cookbooks because
people are addicted to food. It means survival, comfort, and pleasure.
Review cookbooks, write them, or just sell them. This is a market that
will never be satiated.
We offer numerous ways to create (even
without writing) your own ebook, and then market your books in our
new guide.
And Jim Edwards and Joe reveal how to
find a subject and write the book quick in their bestselling ebook,
How to Write and Publish Your Own eBook... in as Little as 7 Days.
But note something:
The average person reading this article
won't take any action. They'll find excuses for not writing, or selling,
an ebook.
Excuses are a dime a dozen. What is
rare is the person who will take action. We've just handed you some
potentially lucrative ideas.
Will you be the one to act — or the one
who complains?
The choice is yours.
