Make $1,000 a month writing quick reports

Who said it was hard to make money online?

I have been reading a lot about ebooks and more importantly writing ebooks for profit, but the thing that kept stopping me was the fact that I did not have the time or patience to write a 60-100 page report on a single topic.

But I have noticed a growing trend towards the purchase of much shorter reports. 1-15 page ebooks that provide a short blast of information on a subject - and they are selling for $7-10.

Now I am just thinking out aloud here, as I have not tested this yet - although I definitely will be! But If you wrote 2 10-15 page reports a month - that is less than one page a day, one blog post, one article (I’m start starting to sound like one of those marketers that validate their high prices by saying ‘for less than the price of a cup of coffee a day you can…)

Think about it, if you blog every day, you would easily be able to produce two reports a month, and if you sold 50 of each report for $10 each there is your $1,000! Simple right?

also think of the potential, if you make the reports into a series, once you have created 6 or 7 of them what is wrong with packaging them into a complete ebook, or package? Plus you will already have a long list of testimonials!

You must be thinking there has to be a catch, it cannot be this simple - and you are right. There is one thing that you absolutely must do to make sure you reports are a success, and that is to make sure you are writing the report on an in-demand topic. You need to have people wanting to find out about what you are writing.

A few places you can look to find out what topics are hot are:
2. Clickbank Marketplace. Go to your preferred topic and look at the top results. Maybe you could make a similar abridged version?

2. Forums. Join forums in your area of interest and find out what people are talking about. If there is a topic that generates a lot of interest and maybe some signs of misunderstanding, you may have found your first report topic.

3. Article directories.Look at their most view articles, as the readers of these articles are you potential customers. Make sure there are a lot of them!4. Yahoo Buzz. This website is great to find out what people are talking about.
