You could put it in the team leaders ebay store and keep all the profits, you could use the autoresponders and build an opt-in list to e-mail ads to the people who opt-in. You could use the team forum to get all kinds of ideas and help with your project.

Another option is to look into PLR (Private Label Rights) . You can buy ebooks with PLR for like $7 and then re-write them with better content and then market and sale those for profit. That way you already have the cover done.

Ebooks are a great way to discuss something and give people a good information pack to put your links in and bring them to your site so they'll sign up and do other things with you in the future.

Best of luck and just shoot me an e-mail if you have anymore questions.
