Thanks Sire; actually, now the series is finally over, at least as far as I’m concerned right now. Let’s see where it all goes.

Sounds like a really good idea Mitch, and once the series gets going, and people get to know about it, I reckon it will boost up your subscription level.

As for that other post, I haven’t seen it yet but I will.

At least you got it. Truthfully, I think the numbers of people who start then drop blogs are probably the same as those who start books then stop, but the blogs seem to just sit out there clogging things up, whereas an unfinished book only clogs up that person’s stuff.

I’m looking forward to this Mitch; I have one or two ebook ideas myself.

Ironically, those 50-1 stats seems awfully similar to those that start a blog and carry it through.

Speaking of books, I got it; just haven’t had time to read it yet.

Hi Steve. Two statistics I didn’t put up were that 50% of people who’ve written a book have never even thought about sharing it with anyone else, and less than .5% of people ever actually try to publish in some manner, whether they succeed at it or not. There’s lots of folks writing, but obviously way more not following through on it. I’m glad you’ll be reading.

hi Mitch,
This sounds like a great series. As you wrote in “how to be a prolific writer” one should write about something you love, and based on how much you write, you must love to do it.
You stat that 50% of people have “started” writing a book, but only 1% of people have finished writing a book cracks me up, and I believe it. I am very impressed by anyone that can write an entire book.
I look forward to reading your series.

I am completing my online course with the last section of monetization in the form of EBook. Of course there are some other special elements apart from the EBook.

It is a partnership with another blogger and everything is still in the discussion stage. Hope to get your support when the book is released =)

Thanks Wei. True, there are a lot of things to consider, but oddly enough, I believe some of them should come second nature, yet they don’t. Good luck with your book; what’s the topic?

Hi Mitch,

I am currently writing an EBook myself and I got to say it is very challenging. There are many things that need to be taken care of in writing an EBook which includes content that is worth a value, grammer, language etc.

This should be the reason why people are lazy to write a book because there are simply too many things to consider. Will certainly be interested in seeing this entire series.

Great post with a great idea =)
