Ever think about writing a book?
An e-book or electronic book, has one of the highest profit margin products in the history of marketing because the author doesn't have any fixed costs. When you write and sell an e-book, there are:
- No production costs
- No inventory costs
- No printing costs
- No delivery costs
- No returns
- No cost of goods sold
- No design costs
- No advertising costs
- Almost no barriers to entry
In fact, since the author is essentially selling electrons, whatever price he or she charges for the e-book is almost pure profit. Yes, the author's time is worth something and there may be a few dollars spent on Internet marketing tools, but for the most part, those expenses are minimal.
Of course, a free market economy and the price of competitive products may dictate some parameters, but information products are generally free of traditional publishing costs and even most marketing expenses.
This is true for many digital information products, including e-books, teleseminars, home study courses, podcasting and anything else you choose to "self-publish." Here's an example of such a product, an e-book on how to create information products:

While it is true that the average published book only sell a couple thousand copies. A $10 e-book that sells 100 copies nets the author a cool grand--pure profit, less the time it takes to write it.
What will your book be about?
