Brainstorm
If you already have a couple of titles, great. If not, then you're going to have to create them. They don't have to be long. This is where brainstorming comes in. The key is to write about what you know. This will make it simple and easy to churn out the information.

Write
Once you've come up with ideas for a few titles, it's time to write. During the writing process, don't take time to edit or organize. Just get down on paper what you want to say. Once you start writing, you'd be amazed at the volume of material that's going to come out.
A good size ebook runs anywhere from 25-100 pages. E-reports tend to be defined as anything under 20 pages. So, you might want to produce three or four e-reports, instead of two or three ebooks. The whole idea is to present enough material so that purchasers feel they're getting a lot of information for one low price. -
