SourceIntroduction
I’m writing an e-book about how you can earn money by writing blogs for people that love to write and hope to earn some money by doing so. The reason that I decided to write this e-book, is because I’ve tried to convince quite a few people that I interacted with for quite some time on a Dutch blogging platform to join Steemit. Back then Whaleshares didn’t exist yet, but now Whaleshares has also been added to my daily routine of earning money online. Many people didn’t really think they would understand how Steemit works, and I can’t really blame them, as I was lost as a little puppy myself too in the beginning. While Whaleshares seems a bit easier to understand because of the easier interface (in my opinion at least) I know that many people don’t even know about the existence of Whaleshares. My aim is to try to convince those people on Steemit to try Whaleshares and Yoors (a Dutch blogging platform that soon will be translating the articles into 19 different languages) and vice versa.
The book will also partly be my personal story along with tips and tricks that I've learned along the way since I joined Steemit almost two years ago.
Sharing and engaging
I’m convinced that we should share our knowledge to help other grow, and that’s why I decide to share the things that I’ve done and steps I’ve made to make sure I would go from a not known user to someone that is now connected to quite a few communities. While many people will think it’s an absolute must to find a niche to write in, I’m actually the perfect example that this doesn’t have to be the case. I’ve written about all kinds of things, and I’ve shared art, photography and travel blogs that were all noticed and the people that actively follow me, actually read the articles in all the niches, not only one of them. The key to success on the platforms is engagement. And when do you get the best possible engagement on your blogs? By writing what you're passionate about.
Fiat and crypto payments will be accepted
Please keep in mind, that I will be accepting payments in the following cryptocurrencies for my e-book as well: STEEM/SBD/BTS/LTC (maybe more, but I've decided on these for sure). I've made this choice because I know there are lots of people on the blockchain that are working hard to build their accounts, and have crypto earnings in their wallet, while in real life they can hardly spend fiat on luxury items like books. Some people can't cash out for some reason, but still try to work hard achieving something on the blockchain. By accepting these currencies I know I will reach a bigger audience as my readers, and that's exactly what I want: to get the word out to the biggest audience possible that blockchain can change lives.
Call to action
I want to ask you to not only answer the question, but try to reach as many people as possible within your network to answer the question too! It's quite important for me that I have as much answers as possible to make a well-weight decision about what the price for my e-book should be. It would be good to read feedback from people that have experience in purchasing e-books before, so I can compare those experiences.

I have decided that 5 USD will be the minimum price I want to set for this e-book, so there is no option to choose a lower amount. I've also decided that this e-book will not only be sold, but also given away to people that really don't have the funds for it. I'm an absolute believer of paying it forward, so even for the people that are willing to work hard, and trying their best, but just need a little help, there will be opportunities to win/receive the book without any costs.
Writing, marketing and research
At the moment I'm still in the creative process of writing, which I enjoy a lot, but I also know that soon there will be a lot of marketing involved (which I love!) and before it's time for that, I need to do some research. This article is actually meant for research purposes, and I need as much input as possible. I hope that you can help me out by answering this poll.

Thank you!
I think it's great to be able to help a lot of people with a ebook about how to earn money with blogging. Selling the ebook is a perfect example of it 😉. I think with your experience you can help a lot of new people on the different platforms. The only question I have is if people are willing to pay a few bucks, dont get me wrong but there is already a lot of info on ws and steemit on tips and tricks.. But I do hope you succeed with your ebook and I am looking forward to it..

Id go with $4.99. Mainly because you can say "its just 5 bucks". It already seems like its on a discount.
Thank you, I'd say that too (but for this poll it was easier like this lol) but then @penderis send me some links on whaleshares, and now I'm not convinced going for 4.99 would be best lol.. I've always been a person that thought yeah 4,99 better than 5 ..

It all depends on.the size of the book and the tips you share.
Fact is you started at a time Steem.was succesfull and you build a society around you quickly because of some subjects you wrote about.
This group of fans is still there and also gives upvotes out of other reasons and do read other conyent you wrote because of the same reason.
I joined after you and can not say all my content is read, no matter what I write. I join many contests and still I have no breakthrough.
Might be it is partly because I am not able to join discord, but.I do spend most part of the day at Steem and promote it as well.
I never heard of whaleshares and to be honest if you write in your book the same way as you do here those you.are writing for will not understand one word of it.
That is exactly what is the problem with many.content.over here. It is explained by.someone who knows how or what and who isn't able to explain it in.simple terms and steps.
I.would not buy your book.to hear your life story. I think you should write an.other book about that.
5 dollar is a good price for some tips that might help.
I wonder how you will make a kindle out of it. Amazon? I noticed this option is not available/given if you use the German version. UK I didn't check out yet.
Wish you luck.

Thanks for this feedback! I may have explained it the wrong way (will get back to edit if needed later tonight when I have the laptop available) but I'm not going to share my life story in this e-book, purely based on my experiences on the blockchain. For example, to find valuable followers, people that come back after one post.
I will sure remember that a newbie may not understand everything, and keep that in mind when explaining things, good point!

Think of me as I asked you how to transfer... step-by-step... and it will work for sure. Not only for the newbie but also the confused and simple minds like me.
Let me know where and if published

That is quite a valuable feedback you're giving me here. Thank you! I have been reading and writing yesterday, constantly remembering myself I should not forget about your feedback while doing so. Sometimes things seem completely normal to me, as I know the ways for quite a while, and I needed this reminder to make sure it will be clear to others that might now know about these things too. Will be giving myself some more time for some chapters too now. Again, thank you, this is very valuable!
You are welcome wish you ☘
