hi guys,
I just got the idea for a small pamphlet/report to sell on ebay or clickbank or something. Here's the gist of it -

My 10 Best and Worst Dates Ever
Including 23 Things that Went Wrong and How I Handled Them

Bonus section: Unexpected places to find sweet girls who are open to meeting guys.

The mini-book is specifically about the date itself, not just relationships in general. some guys like myself have challenges coming up with good ideas for things to do, and handling Murphy's law surprises. I am giving detailed accounts of my most educational experiences. I'll run through 10 best and worst dates I ever had, in detail, i.e. from getting the idea to planning to execution. The number 23 is an estimate, so far I have about 15 written down. I expect the book will run 30-40 pages.

what is your reaction to the pitch, and what do you think of my distribution (ebay and clickbank)?

PS obviously this won't make me rich but I want to do it for the learning experience.

give it a shot, however i think your target market are in an age group that know how to use bittorrent & mininova... where ebooks on relationship stuff are rampant!
good luck!

Does that mean you have been on more than 20 dates Squeege?

The topic does sound a bit interesting. I think that you will learn a lot more in the process of writing it, and that alone will be worth more than any profits you might realize from sales of the book.

Just going through the process from start to actual finish, is much farther than most people get, and your chances of hitting the big time on your first attempt are worse than winning the lottery. I have found that the harder I work, the luckier I get. Just look at guys like Thomas Edison, how many materials did he try to make filaments out of before he found tungsten? How many times did Col. Sanders get turned down when he tried to sell his special blend of herbs and spices to restaurants? Persistence pays off.

Even if you don't sell one copy, it the experience will be a good one.
