Yahoo Questions & Answers
There are quite a few Q & A sites out there, but the most popular among them all is the Yahoo site.
This is not a complicated process, just search for questions related to what your subject matter is and see what questions are on the minds of the readers. This is a website you could spend weeks on looking for ideas, but you really don’t want to do that, you want to write your ebook.
Forums
Forums are another online community that offers a lot of ideas on a wealth of subjects.

When looking for new ideas it’s not a bad idea to just ask the forum members their concerns about the subject you are tackling. You see, you are looking for things within your subject matter that interests readers. What you think is in demand might be quite different from what readers want, that’s the whole purpose of this exercise – SATISFYING YOUR READER.
