FINDING EBOOK CONTENT IDEAS USING FREE TOOLS
Once you know your niche market you will need to create enough content for your book. Hopefully much of that content exists in your head already, but if you need more content there are many great tools that you can use to help you.
EZINE ARTICLES
Go to EZineArticles and type in your keywords and review the articles that are returned at the top of the search results. Look at the keywords that the article is targeting and also what the article content is. What is the problem that it is providing a solution to? At the bottom of the article EZineArticles will list the top viewed articles in the category most related to your keyword that you searched for. These articles should be reviewed and analyzed as they are obviously providing readers with the information they need. Make a list of all the topics covered and from that list you will be able to create an index of topics in high demand by consumers. You can also check out the level of competition by reviewing the websites where the author is linking to in the resource box.
YAHOO ANSWERS
Go to Yahoo Answers™ and search for your keywords. Take note of the questions/needs/problems posters are looking for a solution to. This is a great way to refine your understanding of the problem that you will need to solve to generate sales. Record the questions your market is asking as these will provide you with topics for the articles that you will write about and submit to article directories after the launch of your eBook.
FORUMS
Go to forums related to your eBook topic and take notice of the most popular forum topics and threads. Consider including information in your eBook to appeal to these forum posters. Investigate the longest threads with the most passionate responses. This is where you can find a ton of content ideas to attract a large market of buyers. If your topic is technical, you can find many gems of information that would add great value to your eBook. Many people that buy your book will be pleased with the purchase if they find a few nuggets of information that help them.
AMAZON
Go to Amazon and research the topic selling books on your topic. Use the “Look Inside” feature to scan the index to get a feel for the content provided in the book. You can also purchase the books to further increase your knowledge of the topic before you start writing. The more you know about a topic the easier the words flow while typing. If you already wrote your eBook, you can still add nuggets of information learned at a later date.
CLICKBANK
Purchase the leading products in ClickBank and review their content. This is your competition, and if you aren’t a big name internet marketer, your goal is to provide a better and more valuable product. Offering a better product than the leaders will give you an opportunity to break into internet marketing quickly by building a reputation for quality products, which will lead to many affiliates and joint venture partners.
