Advice on writing "How To" E-books?

[princephoenix]

Greetings,

I'm almost done reading TMF and I've been furiously pondering over different ideas on how I can get myself into the fastlane and I've settled on writing a "How To" e-book guide on writing erotica. (I've been writing it for over ten years.)

I was wondering if anyone has ventured along this same route (on How To guides, not necessarily writing erotica!) and if they could share some insight on what their journey was like as well as any pointers?

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Avery

(Also I didn't realize there was a forum for writing and authorship until I had to choose a category for this thread. I shall be sure to go peruse that as soon as I'm done.)
