Being comfortable writing ebooks not only helps you to create and sell your own information products, it's also a highly lucrative skill. You can write for others, as well as for yourself.

BTW, if you're writing for others, you should be charging around $2000 to $5000 per ebook, as a rule of thumb. I recommend that you get comfortable writing ebooks for yourself, then use these as your "portfolio" -- your buyers want to know that you can actually complete the project for which they hire you.

What's a "bestselling" ebook?

Let's start by talking about what a bestselling ebook is, in our terms. I define a bestseller as an ebook which sells consistently, over months and years. Your ebook may not be the market leader: you may or may not have an affiliate program, but your ebook puts cash in your bank account each and every week.

When you're looking for ebook topics, choose an evergreen one: a topic which has longevity. For example, any ebook on weight loss has longevity. People will always want to lose weight. An ebook on how to get a mortgage however, isn't evergreen: economic factors change.
