You should never be short of something to video for your series and you could even sell videos on similar tasks as a set at a discount price. The actual mechanics of the video is simple. Just set the camera up on a tripod and work in front of it, or work with a partner. The software available can add special effects if required and your video could be in the form of a hard DVD, a video file for download, or streamed from your server for one-view purchases. Generally the hard DVD is the more popular, though you would have to remember to add P&P to the price.

Ebooks are simple to write if you have a good command of your language. For highest sales value they would have to be English, though this might all change as the Chinese become more and more internet aware. There's a good internet business for a Chinese speaker: translating ebooks into Chinese. I am sure that this will shortly be a massive market and it might be worth while having your stuff translated now, before the rush starts and translation prices rocket!

The beauty of an ebook is that it can be delivered instantly and without any intervention by you. Unlike hard goods, everything is dealt with by your autoresponder: accepting the order, accepting payment, delivery, thank you letter and receipt. You can sell 24/7 even when you are on vacation. You can write ebooks on every subject under the sun. It is useful if you can find a niche that is still undersubscribed, since your competition will be less. However, if you can find a unique slant on a topic even in a popular niche, you can still make money.
