Default OK, to sum up...

Having perused the page you directed us to and the posts from others so far, let's see if I understand.

The ebook you are writing is an instructional on writing salescopy, and the audience for the ebook is writers of other things (e.g., articles, non-fiction books, fiction books, etc.). The purpose is to open these writers' eyes to the possibility of stretching their writing skills by branching out into copywriting -- a potentially much more lucrative area than what most writers do.

The main body of the material about how to write good copy will be written by you.

What you are asking from us, or at least from those who have done or currently do copywriting as a profession, is tips (e.g., how to get paying clients when first starting out), success stories, and interviews. Since the intended audience does not yet have experience in this field, they may not be sure/confident about selling their own services. And, of course, success stories and the like will also serve to encourage your readers and show them not only that it can be done but how it can be done.

The "payment" to the contributors is the fact that, like with many article-writers, they gain exposure/credibility by being acknowledged as a contributor to the ebook and their contact info is included.

Is that pretty much the idea?
