Dear all,

My business model doesn't include being a conversion company, it is risky to engage myself in this direction, How long will it take to have the perfect push button tool? 5 years? Also I started to see our indian and chinese friends coming to this market with their low prices and there is no reason why they can't create quality ebooks. So maybe, as a plan B, I could do the pre-sales and sales job in the upcoming spanish and french languages market for a conversion company but not the delivery.

My income stream is not based on eBook sales, even if I would love. Assuming a margin of $5 per ebook (which is already a good achievement), I will need to sell 20K ebooks per year to achieve $100k. Is it really easily achievable to sell 20K ebooks / year?

However ebooks are the foundation of my new business.
