Thinking of creating an ebook

I am thinking of creating an ebook. It would be for recipes for a pudgy pie, a treat that we have when we go camping. We have made several over the years and some are so good! I am just not certain how big of an interest this would be for others. Thoughts and opinions on this? Should I go for it? Do you think that others would have an interest in this?

What is a pudgy pie? I have never heard of this before, so therefore maybe an ebook on recipes for this might be a good idea. Do you have any certain recipes that you want to include in this?

The reason this is going to sell is because it is not that popular at the moment. I mean for him to make the eBook, people will be keen to read and see how such is being prepared.

Is it possible to write an entire book, even an ebook, about just one type of recipe? I am not familiar with the term "pudgy pie" so I don't know if that's a generic term like "chicken" (therefore there could be 1,000's of recipes as there are lots of ways to make chicken) or a more specific label like "chocolate cake" which, while there are several variations on chocolate cake, is still a specific type and therefore would be more limiting. I honestly don't think that I personally would be interested in purchasing a book that limited itself to one item so unless "pudgy pie" is a generic term for many different types of pie that all have a similar characteristic (in this case being "pudgy") I would tend to say no. Of course, I don't know enough about the flavor of your book. You said that this pie is a favorite of yours to make when you go camping; if you are including some camping tips and interesting stories from various adventures you have been on, it would expand the scope of the book, and be of more interest to me.

I have not sure what a pudgy pie is either so I'm not sure if there can be several different recipes or if it is just one thing. But it's good that you are thinking of creating an eBook. They are doing pretty well right now and they are a great way to earn some money on the side or even as the main income source. But if it is just one thing, then I would suggest that you avoid writing an eBook just on how to make pudgey pie because it might be an extremely niche market that you will have to target. Instead maybe try to create an eBook that has several different recipes?

One thing that I've noticed in life is that we've got to always give a shot to things we do in life and be hopeful that it will turn for the good. I would advise that you make the move and hope for the best at the end of the day.

After reading one thread about earning money from an e-book for a down payment to a car, that spiked my drive to change gears. From blogging, I think it is more profitable to write an e-book. My niche is pets, particularly dogs, but I don’t mind writing another niche for an e-book. Right now, I am trying get ideas for an e-book aside from my niche. And what my mind is pointing at is obesity or overweight. Not exactly losing weight but maybe more on the weight management methods that we can practice to avoid getting overweight or obese. But I have to research more on the subject because an e-book is not a short blog, it is a long manuscript.

I think there are already too many cooking blogs and resources on the internet that it may not be too profitable to write an e-book on the same subject. If you can provide excellent content and unique features, however, an e-book of different recipes for one type of pie may have a chance. I do think, though, that people are only willing to pay for things that have value for them that they can't otherwise have for free. I've been looking at e-book projects that are up for grabs at a freelance writing site. There are several orders for e-books on subjects like crock pot recipes, anti-aging recipes, ketogenic cookbook, etc. and they all require at least 100 recipes per book. There is obviously a market for this type of e-book.

My friend has a recipe blog and she is earning a good amount from this monthly. I think that it is a good idea to go forward with this eBook. However, my advice to you will be to include other tested recipes besides the pudgy pie as this will make the book more interesting. Nowadays, many people are interested in home cooking and so there is a great chance that this might work.

Yeah, having a variety of other recipe for the meals in the book will act as a bonus especially when you are looking to capture the market from the early run. Also, it is imperative for you to analyze the market and see what has worked in it in the past and look for ways to improve on that as well.

I'm an avid reader of fan-fiction books and there are a lot of ideas that come up in my mind and that makes me want to create my own story. I am also a wattpad-user so if I want to create my own ebook then that's the perfect website and easiest way for me to start. In fact, I have few friends who started to create their own ebook stories in wattpad and eventually asked them to publish it. Now, they are earning already by their book and ebook version. But I'm not really into the earning part, what makes me feel excited is future readers comments and criticisms and etc. I like reading comments from other people in regards with my works because that is how I test my self, talent and skill.

If the amount of effort needed to create the book is not too high, why not just jump in and treat it as a learning experience. Think about what people would really love these recipes if they knew about them. Start by finding places, like camping forums, where they hang out. Become a real member of that community and run your ideas by them as you develop the book--what do they want, how do they describe it, whose recommendation would help you. You never know, you might really hit on something. Even if not you will develop new skills and learn a lot.

I think it would be best for you to do the ebook not thinking about if people will go for it or not. It is always best to try than to get stuck thinking if how well it will do. If it doesn't work well, then you can try again next time with another topic. At least you had the experience of doing an ebook.

I am not also not familiar with your pudgy pie. So since your topic/ recipe is a unique for most people, then there is a possibility that you could catch their attention especially those who are into baking and doing pies.

Writing an ebook takes time because you have to do a lot of research and find material that becomes useful for readers. I personally spend time more on research and when I have data about the topic I start writing on it. hood cleaning companies durham
