Back in late January 2008, I asked our readers ” Would you be interested in a WordPress eBook?”   Along with that question, I also took an informal poll of whether people would prefer to get a free eBook or purchase an eBook.    That may seem like a silly question, but there is a significant increase in the quality of an eBook that you buy over a free eBook, so I needed to know what people wanted.

In my poll I got a variety of answers, but between the comments from that post and the emails that I received, I was given the impression that people would rather I write a more advanced eBook with a fee attached, rather than releasing a free one that was thrown together quickly and just rehashes stuff you can find in our archives.

Over the past 6 months since that post, I have focused on building an eBook that collects my WordPress experiences, techniques, and other tips and put them together in a new eBook titled Success with WordPress, which is currently available for $24.95.

Because I knew this book would come with a small price tag, Success with WordPress was designed to cover all aspects of WordPress.   In the beginning, you’ll find some general information about installing WordPress, finding good WordPress plugins, etc.  Then it gets into the more advanced stuff that most of you will be looking for:

• Building a Multi-Author WordPress Blog
• Using WordPress as a Content Management System (CMS)
• Building a WordPress Forum
• Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tips designed specifically for WordPress
• Maximizing CPC Income with Google AdSense
• Advanced Affiliate Marketing Techniques
• Building a Niche Blog with WordPress

If you are looking to find success with WordPress, this eBook is definitely for you.   Also, if you’d like to promote this product on your website and make some money, you may also be interested in the Success with WordPress affiliate program.   It currently pays out an amazing 33% per sale and we have a 125×125 banner available as well, so you can promote it on your WordPress blogs and start generating some extra income.

As WordPress Hacks continues to grow and expand, I’ve been digging through the archives and found a lot of great information (I know I’m a little biased). While I want readers to dig through the archives, it seems at some point that the natural progression is to create a WordPress eBook for readers to get a bunch of information in one convenient location.

So my question is this…..Would you be interested in a WordPress eBook? Let me know which of the following applies to you:

1. I would be interested in purchasing a WordPress eBook at an affordable price. (Price would be $10.00 or less)
2. I would be interested in downloading a WordPress eBook only if it was free.
3. I would not be interested in downloading the WordPress eBook.

Update: This post launched what would eventually become the Success with WordPress eBook!
