So, as per my last journal, I want to start a freelancing guide of some sort.

Problem is, I am not sure which route I want to take.  Here are the options:


- eBook: $1 for a 25+ page book with images, may be organized into print some day
- Web series: weekly chapters until the book is finished.  Free but with ads, pay $5 to become a supporter and remove ads permanently
- YouTube series: free but with video ads, weekly videos


So here are my thoughts.  eBook is probably the most lucrative as most people will want all of the information right away.  Web series is the easiest and I can get started immediately to start building up a following, but will also have to do a TON of SEO to get it to be even viable.  YouTube series is great because people hate reading and like to put a face to their advice.  The series options give me the ability to expand and change direction at a whim.

What do you think, and what would you prefer to see?

I personally think that starting out with YouTube would be much easier than a web series since it's, in my opinion, much easier to get exposure on YouTube, and depending on how you go about doing it, it could be pretty easy to build up a decent following. Once you build up a follower base of a certain size, you could start doing eBooks and actual printed copies.
