Memoir or straight non-fiction for short non-fiction ebook?
Okay, so I'm thinking I'll be able to generate some interest in my novels with some short non-fiction ebooks.

Now I’m no expert in anything (except in maybe how not to sell ebooks) so I wouldn’t be claiming expertise like many non-fiction authors do. But I’ve been seeing a lot of short non-fiction ebooks (under 100 pages) by authors who equally lack credentials so I figured, Why not? So say if I was writing an ebook on dealing with fear. I could do:

1) Overcoming Fear: Five Quick Steps Guaranteed to Banish Your Fear Forever

Or:

2) How I Overcame Fear: My Eight Years in a Gulag

The second one is really like a memoir I suppose, and if I wanted to write a lot of little non-fiction ebooks, which I do, it would seem strange to me to have a lot of memoirs.

What do you guys think?
