Writing Ebooks - selling ebooks
How to make money online writing E-books and selling ebooks : productions and promotions
E(lectronic)-books are digital books that can be downloaded for free or instantly upon receiving payments . You can use e-books for two folds. 1. They can be used as both a revenue stream by writing and selling the ebooks online and 2. They can be used as a promotional tool.
Producing and promoting e-books is simple, just follow the outline presented to you in this section.
Remember, you can write an e-book about almost anything and everything, but a lot of times you will not be able to sell those e-books. Let me demonstrate what I mean. Let’s say, you have a website selling shoes. You can produce an e-book about shoe fashion, and the different designers, but you will most likely not be able to sell it. You will have to offer the e-book for free. You might ask why would you want spend time and effort producing a product that you won’t sell(Just read on). I find that you can easily sell e-books in the topics such as security (i.e. how to safe guard your home, bank accounts, credit cards etc), Health and Fitness including sex advice, online production and marketing(Yes, people are selling information that is presented to you here for free for a hefty $60 to $100….your welcome), wedding planning( or avoiding wedding disasters is a nice sell), parenting, etc The answer is simple and multi-dimensional. Offering and e-book or a newsletter on your website will:
1. Allow you to obtain your visitors’ email addresses
2. Allow you to promote your product and/or services
3. If its free, people love free things.
4. Distinguishes and aids in your branding efforts.
PRODUCTION
If you run a content based website or blog than most of the work is done already. Just gather up a sum of your best work, organize it, add a table of contents, do some editing to make sure it conforms to an e-book not a website, and convert the file to PDF. PDF is a standard when it comes to e-books. Majority if not almost all e-books are found in this format. You can convert your file to PDF formatting for free here.
If you do not have content ready for your topic. Do the following
1. Create a table of content(at least 10 headings long)
2. Write at least 300 words for each topic (Read my article about producing cheap content)
3. Add at least 1 affiliate link in each chapter (read my article about Affiliates), and add at least one link back to your website(s) in each chapter
4. Design an e-book cover(Text based or image, read my article about producing professional cheap images and graphics)
5. If the e-book is "sellable" add it to ClickBank (read my article about Click Bank)
6. Add it to any eBay Store (read my article about Selling on eBay) or any other online store you may have
7. Promote your e-book (Read my article about Online Marketing)
