As for how quickly an eBook can be done, it really depends on how much research you need to do and how in-depth you need to go.

One thing that took a lot of time was putting together lists. I have lists of websites for different uses. So, the first thing I did was compile the lists. Anytime I would hear of a site that would fit, I would throw it on my list. Then, after getting those lists compiled, I would sort them and remove all the duplicates. Next, I checked every site. I had to make sure it was still active and that it fit into the appropriate category. Some were dead. Others had changed focus. Some didn’t fit in any category. I suspect some people throw their own site links in lists without regard for what the list was for just so they could get traffic! So, those had to be removed. A few were even suspected malware sites, so I removed those from my lists too. I also kicked out sites that didn’t load quickly enough.

All in all, I’m guessing I must have visited 1,000 websites or thereabouts. It’s hard to tell. I didn’t keep count.

And, then, just this past week, I changed the name of the book.

Oh, and the length also partly determines how long it will take you. A typical eBook is anywhere from 5,000 to 30,000 words in length. I’ve seen some as large as 50,000 or so words. Mine is larger. My table of contents is the page length of some eBooks I’ve seen.

I can hardly wait to get my hands on yours.
