So you’ve sat down at the kitchen table, wrote some ideas for an ebook down on paper found one you liked and thought “Where do I go from here?”

The answer is simple, visit the forums that relate to your subject.

Now don’t get all excited yet young grass hopper, there’s proper protocol you must follow! You can’t just go into a forum and copy and paste the information from other peoples post and call it your ebook.

That’s a big no, no.

How do I get the information for my ebook.
• The answer is you can use other peoples knowledge, but only with permission.
• Also approach the moderator(s) of the forum and ask them for permission to use their forum to gather the information needed for your ebook.
• All they can do is say no, when you approach them tell them the idea for your ebook, your real name, address, and telephone number.
• The majority of operators will appreciate your honesty and will give you permission and may be willing to help you out even more.

I used this approach recently with an ebook that I’m creating.

Let me explain, the moderator appreciated my honesty (I even told him and all the other members of the forum that I would be charging for the ebook.)

The key is to not just sign up for a forum, ask for information and explain that you would be charging for the ebook using only your screen name and nothing about yourself.

The internet is so much different than the offline world, I find people to be much more trusting in the offline world.

Gaining trust on the internet is like asking your dentist not to cause you any pain, difficult to do unless he puts you under.

Now once you have gathered all your research, notes, and interviews from contributing forum members your going to want to put it all together in ebook format.

Once you have it in ebook format distribute a free copy to all contributing members.

If everyone approves you already have the keywords necessary and all the targeted content you'll need to setup a webpage and start selling your ebook.

Do not forget to put acknowledgments of thanks in the ebook for all the members of the forum who voluntarily contributed to your ebook.

After all, if it wasn't for them your ebook would not have been possible!

Good luck in all of your upcoming projects.
