5 Steps to create publish and sell an ebook
October 11, 20091.
The
first step to creating an eBook is picking a topic. Select one idea and create an
outline of your proposed book.
2. Do research to strengthen your book's
points and theme. Also by supporting your points with references or giving
varying points of view, you will look more credible.
3. Write your ebook and sort out topics
and format. The most common format for ebooks is a PDF file. There are other
software packages with wonderful features that you can purchase to create
ebooks.
4. When you book is complete it is time to
figure out how you want to publish it.
5. Promote it everywhere, the only way to
get readers to view your work is to first find them and draw them in. Use
things like creating your won website, forums, encourage those who have read
the ebook to write reviews, social bookmarking sites, a free email course or
free ebook teaser to promote your ebook for sale and links in emails to show
your book to everyone on the internet.
How
Much Should You Charge for my ebook?
It really depends on the quality of the information you provide. You could have
a long or short ebook, but that's not the ultimate decision maker. Have a few
friends or colleagues read the ebook. Make sure they are interested in the
topic and ask them how much they would pay.
Also, have a look at your competition and see what they are charging. You can
purchase a few of those ebooks to see how you compare.
My personal Experience with ebooks
An e-book can
be purchased, downloaded and used immediately, whereas when one buys a book one
has to go to a bookshop, or wait for a delivery. EBooks therefore empower
individuals to write, publish, earn money and in this way help to challenge the
bureaucracy of big publishing that excludes so many brilliant authors from the publishing
hubs. Once I applied the above principles, I found that all my eBooks are doing
great. Not only do I make a profit from eBooks, but I find the whole experience
thrilling and pleasurable.
