If you’re considering making money online with ebooks, there’s really just a few basic steps to go about it:
1. Think of a topic that you’re really familiar with or passionate about.
2. Find out how many other books, websites, ebooks, and blogs about that topic.
3. After your research, start writing.
4. Edit, edit, edit.
5. Proofread.
6. If possible, get someone else to proofread. It’s always helpful to have more than one pair of eyes to look through your manuscript.
7. Format your manuscript in to an ebook format. It really is up to you what type of format you want. Most popular format is PDF, as most people can easily download and read it.
8. Get a good digital cover.
9. Create a sales package for your ebook.
10. Create a marketing package. Websites, blogs, sales letters… And perhaps, even affiliate programmes.
11. Promote, promote, promote!
12. Follow-up - and promote some more.
Of course, I realise that these steps are the absolute basic. You can even write a whole ebook to flesh these topics out!
In any case, if you want to read more ebook ideas, here are some resources:

I had helped a friend of mine to market one of her e-books. We had done lots of research, created blogs, did social networking, engaged other friends to spread the word and finally after all the hassle got the success. She had gained quite a good amount of money.
Anne: Thanks for the reminder! Will try to incorporate your book somewhere.
Kelli: Sounds like a good success story. Would you and your friend be interested in an interview? Would love to feature you here.
I think I would do blogtalkradio before I would do an ebook. Having said that, it seems like a worthwhile way to make some cash
