Niches To Riches
It is well known that a lot of money can be made from publishing niche ebooks. The problem is that it can be difficult finding the right niches to exploit without spending considerable time and effort.
However, all is not lost.
This article will describe some simple ways to find as many niches as you could desire which could be suitable for ebooks.
The first resource I would suggest is:-
Amazon.com
They are of course known as the biggest online bookseller but they are also an excellent place for finding niche markets that you may not have considered before. Visit their website, click on books and then enter a word for the niche you have some interest in. So for instance entering “gardening” will throw up many different examples of different potential product areas. Take a note of these for future reference.
It may strike you that there is no way you will be able to compete with Amazon but there is no need to worry because your market will not be the same as theirs. People using them are used to waiting for days for the book
One of the great advantages for you is that downloadable info products can very often sell for much greater amounts than books that are offered on Amazon. This is an amazing but true fact.
Ok, the next resource I would suggest is:-
Dummies.com
You must have come across the series of books published by the folks at dummies.com which cover all sorts of subjects. They are very smart people and you can be sure that the topics they have chosen are popular and sell well. Go through their titles and note down all the subjects that are of interest to you which can suggest possible ebooks that you can exploit.
Next, the resource that is probably the best of all:-
Goarticles.com
Or any of the other article directories that you can find online – just go to google and search for article directories and you will get a list as long as your arm. When you go to the directory site type in a niche in their search facility and you will be provided with tons and tons of ebook ideas.
What you should do is make a long list of these potential ideas. Take each one in turn and type it into the freekeywords.wordtracker (see below) facility to find out how many people are searching for that subject. If you find that at least five thousand are searching for a particular subject then you could be onto a winner and be on your way to online riches.

This is free to use.
Choose a subject you are interested in and just type in the niche word. For instance you may be interested in “ health” so you just type that in and various words and phrases will be produced. You can then type in any of these that take your fancy which will produce even more variations. Any number of these could prove to be productive.
Look, I am not going to kid you that all this is dead easy and requires next to no work on your part. Contrary to what you may have read elsewhere you can’t just throw up a site, sit back and expect to become rich overnight. You have to do your research first otherwise it’s a case of “fail to prepare and you prepare to fail”. However, if you do it correctly, publishing ebooks online can make a huge difference to your finances.
I am certainly not saying that producing one ebook is going to produce a million dollars.
Ok, you start with one and then you go on to produce multiple ebooks each with their own mini site and each producing say 1,000 dollars a month.
Now, you well may be thinking, how do I go about creating an ebook – I’m not an author! Well, fear not, you can go to sites like elance.com or rentacoder.com and hire a professional writer to create the product for you. This will likely cost you in the order of five to eight hundred dollars but remember you then have a unique product that you can sell over and over again for say $47 a time.
Have one ebook created, advertise it through googles pay per click service, submit a few articles on the topic of your ebook to article directories (you can hire someone to write these also and even to submit them for you).
Once it’s all set up, have another ebook created and repeat the process.
The secret to making your fortune online is to create a string of income streams which will churn out money 24/7.
