This thread is for anyone who has built a solid content-based business within the past year or two. It seems to me that the old ways of doing things in this arena (i.e. books, ebooks, etc.) has been progressively phased out by something more "modern." The question is... what?

Has content seen a shift toward online videos, or seminars/classes, or even one-on-one coaching? Or are the more conventional approaches still equally popular today as they were a few years ago?

Now, I'm thinking in terms of "how-to" content, or information. I have a few ideas in my head right now, but I want to make sure I take the most efficient path, from marketing my information to distribution, before I take any big steps.

Perhaps my hunch is wrong, but I just want to get some feedback from people who have been there and done that in this area as far as how exactly it was done and where they see the most profit coming from.

Thanks for the feedback.
