Why would you ever want to publish an eBook? Long-term passive income. Once you write an eBook and build a website that is focused on selling it, you can sell it 24-7-365, for the rest of your life. How is that for a return of investing a few hundred hours?

So what should you write about? Write about what you know. If you are new to eBook publishing, don't start out by writing about internet marketing or eBook publishing like so many others because you have no clue what you are talking about. Instead, find a topic you consider yourself to be an expert in, and then put together a product that other people derive value from. Follow this formula, and you will have the greatest chances of getting your product and website to the point of regular sales.

How should you build your eBook website? Find a solution that matches your knowledge and technological competence. If you don't have the time and desire to learn how to build a website, hire someone to do it for you, just make sure you have the ability to manage, alter, improve and expand your site as this will be important to your long term perspective.

Every time I log into my Facebook account I always see updates on how people are doing in Farmville. Farmville is one of the most popular games on Facebook right now. Not only do I see people on Facebook playing Farmville but sometimes I talk to people at work who play Farmville. I cannot seem to escape it.

I decided to give Farmville a try. When I first started playing Farmville I didn't know what to do. It turned out that I needed to make money but I didn't know how to do it. I was sick and tired of always running around broke while all the people I talked to had barns and greenhouses and other expensive things like villas.

I came across an opportunity to buy Farmville money using my own real money. That is, money out of my own pocket, but then I would have put my account at risk for being banned. I was wondering "where are these people making money so fast?"
