I might chose something I have a little experience in, or just something so targeted that it has to work. I'll probably end up where experience and focus meet.

Or... I could turn to the wonderful HN community for ideas. Any takers?

"How to generate over $400k in revenue each year", only $299

I'm considering doing one too. Maybe we should team up? (email me if interested.). Here are a few ideas I have so far. What does HN think?

1. Growing Avocado trees 2. Raising Geese 3. Understanding statistics 4. Something with the Arduino

Actually, understanding statistics is something I might be good at teaching. Maybe we could focus it even more than that. Maybe it should be "how to pass college statistics," or "statistics for scorekeepers."

I'm slightly competent in statistics but I've always wanted a deep, intuitive understanding of it. So I can just hear a problem and say something like "oh, just do a t-test".

So I figured as long as I spent all that time gaining that level of knowledge I might as well write an ebook :-)

Passing college statistics might not be catchy enough. It has to be "sleazier" like how statistics can help you in every area of your life ... somehow.

I'd like to know how to grow my own almonds.

Parrots and Oil Painting... niche markets that couldn't be further from web 2.0. The majority of the population with high levels of disposable income, and the will to spend it (soccer moms, retirees, busy non-geek professionals etc) are not catered for. It is a massive, untapped market.
