Creating E-books
Ebooks can be just a few pages long or as as many
pages as a novel. The size depends on the topic
and purpose of your ebook. One difference between ebooks and
offline manuscripts is your targeted
audience
can be reached at far less expense. It is also possible for you
to reach your audience without a "middle man". Look at
ebooks on your topic to see what your competition is. Here is a link
to a web site with a variety of ebooks to give you an idea of what
you can do.
IDEAS: What to write about? The possibilities are endless. However,
it is usually best to write about something you care about. This
could be a topic related to your job. Possible topics could be;
keeping your job in a tight market or how to go to school and
work at the same time. You can also write about a hobby or personal
nature. Do you have a
child
with
a
learning
disability? Do you love to golf and feel you have found a new
way to lower your score? Literally the world is your oyster on
the web.
RESEARCH: Ok,
you have a topic you are interested in, but is anyone else? Writing
a
ebook is not enough. You have to have willing buying public.
The group you sell to doesn't have to be large. For example,
selling a ebook to 5,000 people at $5.00 apiece results in $25,000.
One of the ways to check possible interest is to check forums
and newsgroups on your topic.
WRITING PROCESS: If one can write a letter one can write a ebook. Be sure to check
out our article archives for more specific information on how
to do this. Also we offer a number of recommendations of
products useful in writing, editing, marketing
and selling ebooks. A basic outline for completing your ebook
is; idea, outline, draft, rewrite, and final copy. After the
ebook text is finished, prepare the ebook
for sell. We provide recommendations on self-publishing,
marketing and selling your ebook.

PREPARATION: One of the advantages of ebooks is they sell 24X7.
You don't have to answer the phone. Start-up costs are low.
The e-book is immediately available for download,
taking advantage of that instant gratification impulse people
love to exercise (to the seller's advantage). The
text is made into a single file small enough
customers can download quickly. More on this in the publish
section.
This web site explains every step necessary
to create, publish, market and sell informational products
or ebooks no matter what your experience or goal.
Even if you are not a writer, you write. Anyone
who can write a simple letter can write an ebook. This web site
will help you expand that letter to a manuscript that can be
sold to those who wish to see it. It does take some effort and
time. However, it is within your grasp if you are willing to
think the process through.
