E-Book Idea - Need Everyone's Feedback | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

I wanted to throw this idea out there to see what everyone thought.

I was thinking of making an e-book titled something along the lines of, "Your Ultimate Finance Handbook – From the Top Personal Finance Bloggers"

We can create an outline of all the topics, and each blogger would be responsible for a chapter/section of the book.  We can create an original, well written book where we can all promote on our blogs, and it will help us generate traffic and exposure to everyone's blog.  What do you guys think?

We can also sell this in the marketplace, and create a revenue share program (which I can gladly take care of)

I think if you're going to assign one chapter to each blogger, the idea might not fly. A lot of us have different opinions on different topics, so some of the chapters might contradict each other.

However, what you could do is do like an interview book with different financial bloggers, and ask about their opinions on different subjects. That way it's ok if our opinions contradict each other.

Tony's idea makes more sense, but it would be hard to share any revenue that this book would create. Either we'd be interviewed for free, or we'd all just get paid a flat rate for our interview responses.

It might be a cool idea to try to lay out those conflicting opinions in an educational way. Do a series of interviews with each blogger and lay those out together as one chapter. Like: "Chapter 2: Ideas on how to fix…" or "Chapter 6: How to use Credit Cards to…"
