I want to write an ebook, but I don't know what kind of self-help or reference books are popular and selling right now, but at the same time, not swamped and overfilled. I want to write about a topic that is popular and makes people want to read, but does not have much work done on it yet. So what info would you pay money for at this point in time??

What information or how to/self help is popular right now, but not swamped or overly solved??

How about something that you are knowledgeable about?

How about a book about speaker design that is firmly grounded in theory and engineering practice, but includes examples relevant to the bass.

Hey, that's a good idea, I know it has to be specific too, something people need info on NOW, not later or two month down the road. Thanks for the ideas!!

Look up "Reverse funnel system".

Then... well picture an upside down funnel.

I have to say that for reference materials and technical knowledge, it's getting easier and easier to find on the Web. If it's something that you are not an expert in, then I can look it up online, as easily as you can do so and put it in an E-Book.

Self help books tend to be more than just an author writing a book. Most of those authors have some sort of credentials, such as a PhD or some sort of religious ministry. And they have an effective plan for marketing their books.

I'm afraid you are asking the literary equivalent of: "Any ideas on what I should record for my blockbuster CD?"
