Survey Please.
We are working on some e-books right now. I would like some input please.
I was going to put our Menus On A Dime booklet in e-book form also. Here is my question, would you like to see the recipes in it also?
Right now we just have the menu ideas and people can look up the recipes in the book. Before I go to all the work adding the recipes I was wondering if it would be something that would be helpful. Also do you think we should keep a printed version to sell?
Right now we are working on the Organizing and Cleaning book and on Mom's story about living on $500 a month.
Is there anything else you like to see next? We are going to have one written for every area of frugal living but if there was something that people wanted to see most we would do that first. Please feel free to email me with your input.
Thanks!!

I would only put a couple recipes in your ebook. After reading the ebook the shoppers will be so interested they will buy your other book for more information & recipes.
How about a book on Fibromyalgia do's and do not's. Handy tips to make it through the day. All the Fibro patients can talk about it in your web site too. Just an idea. I can add alot of tips and Iam sure there are many people out there willing to share too.
I'd be interested in frugal kid ideas. Clothes, crafts, baby gear, school supplies, games, etc.

I would be interested in any ebooks you have. How, exactly, do ebooks work? How would they be purchased? I agree that I would only put a couple of recipes in the ebook. That way, you would sell more copies of the larger book.
I like to read in a different room than the room the computer is in. I also like something that is in a 'hard copy' that I can refer to time and again. I guess I could print the e-book, but it just is not the same as the wonderful booklets I have from you already. I am a big fan, I have most of your books and I do use them. I have given your books as gifts too.
I think you are doing a good job. Take care and God bless.

What is your point of offering an ebook? If you plan on offering an ebook and a printed version then there needs to be a reason and unless your trying to drive the use of ebooks. You should not put everything in your ebook. ebooks are a very small % of the market. With that in mind and your sole bussines is in makeing money with your book sales, you need to offer your books in a ebook and only give 10 -20 % of the info that can be found in a printed book. Make the ebook as the hook, get them wating more. The cost of the ebook should be only be 10-20% of the cost of the book. One thing a ebook is good for is you can search, but this should be left to your website, plus your market is not fully cattering to tech nerds like your Mike. :)
Your reader base is small, yet growing, you need a monthy income. You need to offer everything online that can be found in all of your books and charge for it.
How about vegetarian meals?
Ooops! I didn't finish what I wanted to say before submitting (That's me, raejane).
Vegetarian dishes on a dime would be great. And even how to find cruelty free products (shampoo, soap). Those are hard to come by but if it were compiled easily I think people would be more apt to purchase them.
I'm a new mother of twins. I would like to see frugal travel.
Leftovers, Tawra??? I have 4 teenagers and I used to know what leftovers were, I think, many years ago.... Nothing makes it past bedtime in this house. Baking extra may sound like a good idea but it is all eaten anyway.
The best ideas I have come up with for keeping excellent nutrition up to my brood is to cut up a plate full of fruit and also make a yummy afternoon tea which is withheld (but in full view) of the hungry hoard. The fruit has to be all gone before anything else can be eaten. Amazing how that fruit goes down when there is a good enough incentive. Peer pressure to do your share works every time. Before long they eat fruit readily and the yummy afternoon tea is a treat rather than a staple to exist on until teatime.
