Are ebooks a good way to make money online?

February 12, 2008 · Filed Under peso makin'

One thing that is a supposed money maker is the ebook.

I admit it though - this gringo does not really get ebooks. Granted, I have never purchased one. But I get the impression that ebooks are basically a bunch of blog posts all wrapped up in one compact little PDF. However, people make money on them. Maybe I should try it too.

I have Microsoft Word. I have Adobe Acrobat. And I have some tequila. So it looks like I am ready to go with this whole ebook thing.

Money Saving Mom had a post on writing, producing and selling an ebook. Actually it appears it is a series and the link I have provided is to the first part of the series.

What could I write about? Well, I suppose I could write about how I went from a broke gringo to a peso millionaire. Of course, that would fall more along the lines of fortune telling since I am not actually a peso millionaire yet.

I could always write an ebook on how to effectively communicate in Spanglish. Do people buy snarky humor ebooks? Cause I’d hate to put in all of that work and have no pesos to show for it.
