There isn't much of a market, considering so much is available for free and is of high quality (whereas the quality of your work is totally unknown).

You could write a book and submit it to an existing publisher, I suppose. That's selling documents.

thanks, yes you're right. i also write for free but can't share everything unpaid. do you know anything about sites like tutsplus.com pay authors or not?

Yes. Tutplus.com pay authors : http://tutsplus.com/teach

You might also want to consider submitting your content to digitalocean or linode, they have great tutorial site.

For self publishing you might want to try Leanpub (https://leanpub.com/)

I also see some great content hosted on gumroad (https://gumroad.com/)
