In writing ebooks you spend your time and need to be compensated for that. I have still a few posts to come to finish the series and will then release the ebooks. Richard Hi Robbie

Yes, you're quite right about those computer magazines (and newspapers) charging for their pubications, even online. And rightfully so. Good job. Looking forward the ebook you will create from this series!

Some will purchase and within 5 - 10 minutes or less ask for a refund. These people I would manually remove from my list as they are just a waste of space. Others will pay whatever you ask for a solution to the problem they are currently facing and be quite happy doing so. Richard Hi Dee

Even free reports cost the author time and money. Dee Hi Richard

The author has spent time in researching the information, putting it all together and actually writing it all down. They then have paid for the graphics for the cover, the domain and the hosting. They may even have outsouced the compiling which has also cost them some $ to do so. Ebooks do not cost to distribute or print but people forget about the hidden costs involved and while the costs are a lot less than a print book there are still some involved. Computer magazines may promote the idea of ebooks being free but they themselves are not given away. Newspapers charge for their online versions and my local weekly paper costs nearly as much for the online version as it does for the printed version. Richard Hi Robbie

I may also convert the audios into videos but I haven't decided to do that yet. I'm still thinking about it. Richard Hi Sue

I will actually have 2 PDF’s and 2 Audio products from this series when I am finished recording the audios. I may also convert the audios into videos but I haven’t decided to do that yet. I’m still thinking about it.

It's a concept that a lot of people need to consider. Usually, the ebook idea is oversimplified into regarding it as some simple blob of electrons that doesn't cost anybody anything. No trees, no ink, doesn't even take up physical space. I've had debates with people about the prices I have on my ebooks. Maybe they just thought they were going to bully me into giving them something for nothing (with a nicer approach I probably would have, though). But you are absolutely right, it's about the information, the ideas, the time, etc. Even some computer magazines have promoted the idea that ebooks should all be free. I wonder if those writers would be happy to contribute their articles to an online magazine for no pay? Hard to feed the bulldog that way! Robbie Thanks for discussing this, Richard.
