Make More Money From Your Ideas

"I have a grea idea for an Ebook! Nothing like it on the web. How do I sell it, put it into ebook form, etc.?"

First, are you sure that your idea is unique? Many entrepreneurs who have original ideas find that others are doing the same thing. So first do a quick Google search to see what else is around that solves the same problem.

Assuming your idea is unique and worth pursuing, the next step depends on your faith in the idea. If you really think it's going to be a winner, and it won't require you to mortgage your house and work 25-hour days to produce it, then go ahead and write the e-book.

If you'd like to be more cautious rather than diving in head first, I suggest that you do some simple market research first to determine whether people are searching for that topic area. Then, if you'd like to be even more sure, buy some Google advertising and run a free survey to find out what your customers are interested in.
