Dadisi, you might want to get a copy of Selling Ebooks Online. That ebook has lots of info about publishing and selling ebooks.

I live in the Houston area, and teach a lot of classes at Leisure Learning Unlimited. You can see a schedule of my upcoming classes at http://idealady.com/classes

I want to learn how to turn my manuscript into a ebook. Can you help me? I’ll be looking forward to hear from you. When are you coming back to Houston, Texas.

I heard Cathy speak in Houston and her ideas about “thin slicing content” were a paradigm shift for me. My brain naturally gravitates to big broad topics but I am convinced that I need to learn to “thin slice.” Someone should do a teleseminar on this skill because I would guess that 90% of prospective information marketers have difficulty narrowing their content ideas to a sufficiently manageable and marketable size.

Very interesting idea. Most people faulter in starting a business or working on a project by having too wide a focus.

I like the idea of developing thin sliced information. It would also easily lend itself to creating a much wider range of products that relate to each other.

I do think both approaches can be successful though. A general overview of a subject is good for someone who isn’t sure what area they want to be working in. A thinly sliced product is for someone with a well defined problem.

Both can work but would be marketing differently and have a different customer.
