I found a new term: infopreneur
According to Wikipedia an Infopreneur is an amalgam of Information and Entrepreneur. The term describes a portion of my AIS business exactly. The sales of information in terms of eBooks and Articles.
In this instance, I've been an infopreneur since 2003 - when I wrote my first eBook after reading "30 days to success" by Joe Kumar. Of course selling information is not new - it's been done since the very early days of the Internet.
You could even argue that all Search Engines are infopreneurs - after all, do they not present information to you in a format decided by them?
Anyway, being an infopreneur is quite a nice way to earn an income and it's all AIS. Rock and Roll!
I've already written in the past that I believe EVERYONE has an eBook inside them, it's just waiting to be written…it's down to you to make the first step to become an infopreneur, why not go for it?

Burt,
What would you say goes into a good ebook? When you are righting about a particular topic, what do you focus on (other than the topic) what aspects etc do you like to include?
Ive been thinking about doing it for a while, but never got around to it. Any suggestions? I have no ideas as to how much to write, if to write a lot or take the lot and make 2/3/4/5 smaller books.
What do you think, El Burto?
You know, if you had a forum…

I tend to write about whatever comes into my head…give it a go and see how you get on..
I don't think a forum will happen here, maybe a simple bulleting board or somesuch, we'll see.
