Validate the idea: A series of very short e-books, with useful information for PROs, different subjects.

Hi, Salvador here.

People who could explain complex issues succinctly, while remaining clear and profound, always caught my attention. Time is one of our most valuable resources, and therefore we must make the most of it.

The knowledge and/or experience gained is also valuable.

That is why I have proposed to create a series of speed-reading very-short e-books, which are leveraged on these two resources: time and knowledge.

The name of the e-book series will be “10-min READ”. (Opinion?)
Its name says it all.
The challenge will be to choose topics that can be explained in max 10 minutes of reading.
That attracts interest due to its relevance, topicality, or continuous practice.
That the reader can put into practice immediately.
That delivers value for the short, medium, and long term.

I have planned that the series explores various topics, for example:
-Information Technology
-Finance
-Marketing / Digital marketing
-Change management
-Human Resources

Of course, they will be written by different people with expertise for such diverse topics.

So, please your comments about the concept. 🙏🏻

Something more...
This is the first one (FREE), your feedback about this particular e-book is also WELCOME! 🙏🏻
It is really, really short (8 pages)

To whom provide feedback, the second e-book will be also for FREE.

    The concept is great. How will you develop a process to make such short, readable books?

      Hi.

      Good question.

      The authors should compile a set of typical time/money/resources consuming tasks/duties/projects, on the matters of their professional expertise.
      Then formulate a solution already proved, using the called "best practices".
      After, write the solution as an essay, but straight to the point.

      In this case, I wrote the first e-book since, during my career, I did several times what I explain.

      Pls, check the e-book (is FREE), and let me know what do you think about it.

    Hey, I like this. Looks interesting.
    Maybe I would change the series name to make it more eye-catching...
    something like - learn X in 10 min tops (I'm not Don Draper). But something cool.

      Thanks for your time and advice.

      The name of the series will be rethought.
