book and would like to write, and it would be necessary, and to earn extra
money would not hurt, but the question is: what to write about? On what topic?

type of book is better to choose?

Positioning books
The first thing you need to do
- is to select the type of e-books.
You must be absolutely sure
that your book will solve the problems of your readers, and most importantly -
you need to be sure that they will be willing to pay for the solution of these
problems.
I suggest you get acquainted
with the ideas that (I hope) will help you decide on the type of your future
e-book.
All
of these ideas can be roughly categorize:
1.
Practical
guide
2.
Tutorials

Solving Problems
Leadership
All leadership begins with the
classic question, "How to ...". The best way to use this idea for
e-book is to choose a specific problem and steps to show your readers how it
can be solved. But this self-published authors lurks a common mistake - they
are trying to solve too many problems in one book. The right thing would be to
choose any one, as long as the problem and build around it the whole story.
Drop the idea of "to write about everything I know."
Remember the book "10 Days That Shook the World"?
10, 20, 30 etc. This is
another way to provide readers with dedicated leadership to address the
problems, and, specifies any particular time. As an example: "28 days to create a successful blog '
G. Griffiths. After reading the title, your customers or readers will know that
using this practical information they can get closer to their goal for any
particular length of time.

going to write about travel. You can elaborate on traveling abroad or on cars
traveling with detailed calculations of the route, gasoline prices, camping and
so on. This guide will save many headaches when planning their trip, receiving
detailed instructions from a knowledgeable person.
100
recipes
This idea for the book will be
useful for the authors of culinary blogs. For example, "100 of the best
recipes of cakes." These blogs are very popular on the Internet, and books
of this kind diverge like hotcakes. People pay for convenience. And they will
pay for it to be a hundred amazing recipes in one place.

day, because there is plenty to do - choose the venue, send out invitations, and
