I've been working lately on a weight loss eBook. The ebook market is huge and has been for years. I'm going to attempt to tap into it. My total investment will be literally $0. Here's the plan

• Write an ebook. You could hire a writer at elance.com or any outsourcing company, but make sure they write proper English. I decided to write one on my own since I've written previous articles for my weight loss site, the Free Weight Loss Guide.
• Convert it to .pdf.  I found myself a neat tool over at: http://www.pdfonline.com With this, I took my ebook, written in HTML and uploaded it and this site converted it to a pdf file and emailed it to me.
• Write a sales page. My plan is to post excerpts of the ebook and halfway through each chapter, have a link saying &8216;click here to read the rest' which leads to the purchase page. I'm just a tease..
• Get processing. I'll have google checkout and paypal for now.
• Affiliates. ClickBank.com is the best known for ebook selling. My overall goal is to eventually have many others sell my ebook for me and give them a nice chunk of each sale.
• Advertising. I'll just link to the sales page from my existing sites.

Looks like the plan is set, all for $0, just lots of hours of hard work. But hard work never hurt anyone.
