    Which Ebook should I Write? Or wich one would sell? Social Media? Drugs?
    I want write an ebook. I know how to do it as far making website and writing an ebook.

    But Im worried spending hours writing the ebook and no one buying it..


    1) Should I write an ebook about social media marketing such as Facebook, YouTube, and twitter. Or should I write 1 ebook for each subject? (which I know a lot of about and done a lot of research on it)

    2)Or should I write my own personal experience on how I use to be a drug dealer and I witnessed coke being popular to Ice being the main seller. And How I learned how to leave the streets / gang life / drug dealer life to learning about computers and technology and now living a happy life doing graphic design even though I don't have a diploma or G.E.D. (more to the story but I shortened it )

    Sorry for the paragraph everybody I would really appreciate honest opinions...

    Ruben I think you should write an ebook about item 2.

    I agree with tick. You seem to be a good writer with good grammar, spelling, etc. Be sure, though, that someone else reads the "galleys," not only for content and consistency but also to proofread it.

    The hard part will be marketing your ebook. How will you do that?

    I have many ways of marketing my ebook.. I could use Facebook, Google ads, Yahoo answers, and write articles...
    I'm just worried about writing a book but no wants to buy it... So one more time which book do you think will sell? Social media Marketing? Or My own personal story about drugs and becoming a graphic designer?

    I really appreciate ya's opinion! :)

    Ruben, your ebook has to be protected in some way why you are marketing on Facebook, Google ads, Yahoo, whatever. Someone could steal your story. That's why people choose major publishers to protect their ideas.

    Hello R:

    What? You only got ONE book in you??

    By the way, it's NOT the subject... It's HOW you write... I've read terrific stuff about wing tip brogans, and very boring stuff about world politics...

    Be sure to have an editor proofread it before you turn it into an ebook.

    You used the word "waist." The word you wanted was "waste." "Theirs" should be "there's."

    Last year my 20-something-year-old nieces wrote a book and spent thousands on getting it self-published including in ebook format. The story was excellent, and it was well marketed. Sales were poor; word got around that the book is full of grammatical, spelling, and punctuation mistakes.
