A couple of days ago, I was just thinking about domain names (because I get kind of cranky if I can’t buy a new domain every month or two!) and I don’t know how this idea came into my head but I started thinking about a site that has short, easy to read e-books at a really reasonable fee.

I know that one of the reasons I usually only get free e-books is because the ones you pay for are much longer and I seriously don’t have the attention span to sit at the computer and read for long and I don’t have an e-reader.  But I would pay a couple of dollars for a short e-book that had targeted info that I’d really like to know about.  Or would make me laugh.  Or was just plain fun.  It’s a couple bucks.  It would be worth it to me.

And I thought to myself, “Self, you could write short e-books that would be inexpensive and fun…”

But then myself reminded me, “Me, you suck at marketing your own work.  You need to involve others.”

And I realized that I was right.

But what if there were dozens of writers – maybe even dozens of dozens of writers – that just wanted to have a little fun writing what they already know about for residual income and PROMOTING the site?

What if those writers got to keep 100% of the money that they earned from their e-books by putting up their own paypal button?

What if all those writers were having so much fun that they kept writing their little e-books and promoting them?

And the idea kept building…and building…and building…until I finally went and bought the domain for it.

I’m not going to tell you what the name of the domain is but let me just tell you that they e-books will all have a theme – “22 Ways to________” (and if you have more than 22 ways, expand it to 44 ways and you’ve got a sequel).  And I’m inviting anyone that can write to take part.

When I formally start taking authors in I’ll ask only a few things:

• Have an outline of those 22 ways ready so I know you’re serious.
• Have your own PayPal account and know how to create the code to put it into a WordPress post
• Be on Twitter and/or Facebook and other social media marketing sites and be ready to do your own promotions

And I think that is it.

I’ve been putting out some feelers already and found that there is definitely some interest so I’m working on getting the site ready.  So start thinking about your e-book.  Heck, start writing your e-book!  The site should be ready in a week or two!
