Face it. E-books are here to stay. Not only are
they continuing to sell at a phenomenal rate, but there
is no end in site. Revenues were up 30% in 2003 over
the same period in 2002. Compare that to the annual
growth rate of only 5% in traditional print publishing.
Some publishers are reporting an e-book sales increase
of 183% over printed versions of the same books.
E-books are in.
What e-books will sell in 2004? Looking into our
crystal ball, and based on our own successes with
e-books, here are the top ten categories we see a real
need for e-books to fill this year.
1. Alternative Living. Many need guidance on how to
live as a single person, senior citizen, disabled, or
gay. That includes cooking, dating, legalities tips,
and so on. They want info directed to their needs.
2. Money duplication. We need help on how to multiply
our existing money. Now that more people have learned
that a two-income household isn't enough to make it, we
need information on how to leverage what we have left.
3. Home schooling. More people are choosing to keep
their kids out of the environment of public schools,
and even private ones. They need information on how to
effectively educate their kids, right down to how to
have a science fair in the home, how to throw parties
for children, and so on.
4. Pet training. Many people are choosing to make their
best friend a pet. But they don't know which pets are
the best for their living condition and they don't know
how to train their pets. This includes the average dog
lover as well as those interested in exotic animals.
5. Safe sex. We still want it, but we're afraid to have
it. Information on safe sex, alternative approaches to
traditional sex, sexual arrangements, safe and natural
herbs, Viagra alternatives and so on, will do well. Sex
sells. Always will.
6. Anti-aging. It should come as no surprise that
people still want to live forever. The wellness
movement is going to make people rich. Clear
information on how to choose the right anti-aging
product, exercise, or lifestyle will be welcome.
7. Gadget alert. We're fascinated with high-tech toys
but not sure which will work. Guides on how to pick the
right multi-tasking phone, laptop, Dick Tracy radio,
MP3 player, etc, will be a relief to many confused
people. (Including us.)
8. Passion Instruction. People still want to have fun.
Information on how to learn a musical instrument, or a
craft, or any pastime, will continue to do well. This
includes subjects people are fascinated with, such as
tattoos, magic, scrapbooking, pottery, etc.
9. Eating Slim. We want to eat but we don't want to get
fat. Information on safe foods, safe recipes, guides
for eating out without getting fat, new weight-loss
formulas or insights, healthy desserts, will all sell.
10. Home Gardens. People want to know how to improve
their home, create a garden, build on rooms, fix broken
appliances, and so on. Good information on how to be a
home and garden handyman (or handywoman) will sell.
There are 26 categories of e-books that will
always continue to sell well, (get more information at

are sure bets for 2004.
