Basically, if the first Ebook is a success, you will automatically make money with the second volume. On the other side, if people don't like your ebook (which I doubt), they can't blame you for stealing money away from them :twisted: Maybe Blain can do both ;-)

I agree with your initial ebook being free... but if it gets big and really in depth, you might be better off selling it later... If its a quality product your proud of, why not? It might make you some decent money for your efforts and it will allow you to earn some money to advertise the ebook (and obviously your blog) which can be very effective at getting more readers to the blog to help people out... you can help a lot more people out if your able to advertise on many sites and get the word out, but its too costly to do something like that unless your selling the ebook... But offering it free for now is definetely the way to go. Haha, did you get the simulator group idea from me (My Hedge Fund post)? :mrgreen:

I am sure I will expand it and add more sections after the fact. Now I just need to write it :twisted:. Nabloid, agree with that, might as well try it out, simulator group could be pretty fun. definitely free, especially for an initial version.

Sometimes it seems to be just too much work to surf for hours on a blog. Printing the E-book and reading it in the bus seems very interesting! Do you think about selling it or simply giving it for free for promotion? (John Chow's way ;-) ) I am really interested in the Ebook project.
