Write and Sell EBooks in 30 Days

WHY WRITE EBOOKS? People search for all kinds of things on the internet, but more often than not it all boils down to one thing. Any guesses on what that is?

The answer is INFORMATION. No matter what topic you are interested in or how much you already know about it; no matter whether you want to buy something or whether you are simply browsing; no matter what you want to know, the end result always boils down to information.


This is fantastic news if you are looking to earn some extra cash or even carve out a whole new career for yourself online. If you can provide some of the information that people are looking for, you will be rewarded for it – and rewarded well.

That’s exactly what this book aims to show you. EBooks are big business, and there is an insatiable market for them that grows daily. Whatever subject you can think of there is probably at least one eBook being sold right now on that very subject. Writing eBooks is one of the most straightforward areas of internet marketing, and the great thing about it is that the more you write and learn, the more sales you will make – until one day you hit on an idea that will sell thousands of copies.

This aims to help you get to that bestseller quicker than you would reach it otherwise. This book is loaded with valuable tips for the beginner, intermediate, and even the advanced internet marketers. This is a large book and if you are looking for tips about a particular topic you may want to use the Index at the end of this book to make it easier to find specific topics and tips.

IS THERE REALLY A MARKET FOR THEM?

You bet there is. If you look at certain areas of the internet – eBay for example – you might think that eBooks were relegated to history. After all, recent changes in how eBooks are sold on eBay means that they can no longer be sold as digital download.

Does that mean the eBook is dead? At least as far as eBay is concerned?

Far from it. According to Management Practice, Inc. eBook sales in 2007 increased 23.6% over 2006 sales and revenue was up to over $67 million. Even when the eBook is challenged there are still solutions available so you can continue selling, by putting the eBook on CD and mail it.

But of course it isn’t just eBay that generates thousands of sales for eBook sellers every single day. There are countless websites all over the internet that are selling dozens of eBooks. This is a market that shows no signs of giving up or dying out, and the main reason for this is URGENCY.

What do I mean by urgency? Well, the world we live in is fast moving, and is arguably driven by the internet itself. If we want to find out something – regardless of whether or not it is important – all we have to do is switch on our computers and hop on the net for the answer.

There are eBooks out there on most subjects that you can think of, and that means with proper research you can start selling eBooks to serve people’s needs in a month or two.

What would you rather do if you know that someone has the exact information you need? Would you:

• Visit an online book store to order the book you want and wait two or three days for it to arrive?

• Go out to a book store in your local town to find out whether they have a book that serves your purpose?

• Order the eBook you have just found and be reading it in minutes?

The attraction of that last option is blatantly obvious, and it is that attraction that has sold so many eBooks in the past – and will continue to do so in the future as well.

The impatience of so many are why eBooks are so popular, and if you hit the right market and provide information in demand you can and will make a good living. And this book will help you to do it.

SELLING YOUR EBOOK ON LULU.COM: Lulu is probably the best known and most successful website that is geared up to help people like you self publish and sell their books.

The great thing about Lulu is that there is no charge to put your eBook online. Once someone buys a copy, Lulu takes its cut and the remainder of the cover price (which you set yourself) goes into your account. And they will pay via PayPal too, so it’s all nice and easy.


Lulu adds 25% to whatever price you decide to sell your eBook for, so bear this in mind when you figure out your selling price. Let’s say for example that you want to receive $10 for each copy you sell. Lulu would add $2.50 to that sum (25% of $10 is $2.50), so the final selling price would be $12.50.

You might need to experiment with some different prices to make sure you get the result you want, but since Lulu doesn’t charge you for the privilege of using the site, this is a very pleasant split between them and you for every copy you sell.

You can also choose to sell your eBook completely free of charge if you wish. Remember what I mentioned about selling a freebie to encourage more interest in the real thing? Well you could certainly do that here if you wanted to. Just make sure that the freebie is worthwhile and offers real value, so that people will cross over to your website to find out more about the paid version.

PRINT ON DEMAND (OR POD)

Print on demand, or POD, publishing might sound like something from outer space, but it is quite a simple process and what’s more it can make your eBook even more attractive to potential buyers.

So how does it work? Well, whether you like it or not, not everyone likes eBooks. Plenty of people do, but there are also plenty of people who prefer to have a solid book in their hands instead of reading it on their computer.

In the past, if you wanted to transform your eBook into a proper printed volume, you would have had to spend a few hundred dollars on a set number of books up front. Most printers had (and still have, in some cases) a minimum print run, which means that you can only reduce your costs so far; if you don’t sell your book, and it doesn’t prove to be as popular as you thought it might be, then you could end up with a garage full of books that end up gathering dust for months and years to come.

Print on demand does away with this danger. Let’s suppose you go down this route with Lulu, for example. You can still sell your eBook as an eBook, but you will also be able to offer it for sale as a standard book. You upload your manuscript as an eBook, and it’s ready for download as soon as someone buys it in that format.

But what happens when someone wants to buy it as a standard paperback book?

Ok, so it’s time to get to the main event – and that’s writing the content of your eBook, print book, article, blog, etc. Before we do so, let me make one thing absolutely clear.

Before we get to the Word tips you should remember to make use of your spell checker and grammar checker on your computer, and often, but don’t get hung up over every word. I have read plenty of eBooks in the past that have delivered outstanding and extremely revealing and knowledgeable content in less than perfect English.

I don’t know about you, but I have had a lot of trouble with Word crashing on me at the most unfortunate times (Well, when is there a good time for a program crash?). So I did some research and I am pleased to tell you that you can greatly reduce the number of Word crashes and dramatically increase the speed at which Word works.

I was working on my 300+ page Work From Home Writing, Publishing, and Selling EBooks Blueprint eBook when I decided that I needed to find a solution to the crashes and Word’s inability to handle the large file with anything faster than a turtle’s pace.

Microsoft Word Tips Microsoft, optimize Word, Word

Whether you’re a freelance writer or establishing a career in IT, there are a lot of ways where you can work from home and earn big bucks. In fact, the most successful entrepreneurs actually started merely by writing an ebook. The important thing when setting up a home business is to set a goal and give yourself time to achieve it. A common mistake is setting a goal to high, and being disappointed because you can’t achieve it.

Web publishing is indirectly connected to ebook writing. Starting a blog online and gaining readers is actually a good step to kick-start an ebook selling business. Once you start gathering information that you want to share to your readers, make sure to present it in a very interesting manner. Always assume that the visitors are browsing your site for the first time, and the goal is to have as many returning visitors as possible. The key to choosing a topic to use to write your ebook is to choose a topic that interests you as well. Chances are, you’ll have more information to share to your readers and you will be able to write your article or story well.

Other benefits of working at home is being able to manage your time by yourself, you don’t have to worry about colleagues and employers because you are your own boss, and you save more money and time in transportation and other overhead expenses. Working from home takes discipline too, because since you are at home, you might end up doing unnecessary things instead of focusing on your work.

Before selling ebooks, make sure to take note of the following tips: Make sure to proofread your work and check for grammatical errors. These are unacceptable because your readers might not like it, and you don’t want your ebook to become unprofessional, right? Since the cover of the ebook is the first thing that your readers will see, you need a striking cover. If you think you can’t do it by yourself, then hire someone to do it. Make sure that the cover and the title of the book appeals to your target audience too. After writing your ebook, ask a friend to act as your editor and critique it.

When everything’s ready, it’s time to work on your sales pitch. If you scout the net for free downloadable ebooks, you would probably notice the different reasons why you should buy the ebook and its benefits. A good sales pitch doesn’t force the readers to buy the ebook, rather just persuades them to buy the ebook because the contents are worth checking out. Set a timetable for writing your ebook, including the writing process, the detailed number of pages and the chapters, and when to finally market it.

No matter how good your ebook content is, if the marketing efforts are insufficient, then it will all go to waste. Read a lot of background about the ebook writing business before actually getting into it so you more or less have an idea if you will excel in it.

Microsoft Word Tips how to sell ebooks

Let us just assume that you are at the final stages of your ebook writing process. You have done the research. You have put in the man hours writing, editing and proofreading your work. You have even carefully considered where each and every picture and caption should go within the book. So what’s the next step?

As you know, making money, online writing and selling ebooks is a step by step process. Writing an ebook is the first and primary step. Now you need to put the finishing touches to the pages to make it look like an authentic book. This may sound astounding to first time ebook writers but this second step entails as much time and effort as that of the writing process itself. You do have to remember that the only difference between a traditionally printed book and an e-book is the mode of distribution. The former is in print form while the latter one is in electronic form. So yes, the conventional “inclusions” of a printed book should be there. These inclusions are:

1. Copyright. At the very least, you should include a copyright statement that states that transferring your ebook electronically to unauthorized channels is not permissible, unless you (or your publisher) grant them a written consent. Sometimes, your chosen online publisher (if you decide to go with Web based publishers on demand or POD) would want a specific line when it comes to copyright infringements. It is best to inquire about this immediately so that it can be included in the final draft of your book. It also pays to read (and agree) to their copyright infringement issues.

2. Acknowledgements. This is one thing that you should really take careful account of while you are writing the ebook. It would make your life a whole lot easier if you could have a separate ledger when it comes to the names of the people who are helping you out and their respective contributions to your work in progress. Even when your ebook is finished, there might still be a number of people you would like to cite especially if they give you helpful tips when it comes to the actual publishing and distribution processes. Acknowledging others is one way of ensuring that you will get future “help” from the same group of people for your subsequent ebooks.

It should be noted here that your acknowledgment page should not look like your bibliography page or your dedication page. The placement of your acknowledgement page is really up to you. You could have it at the beginning or at the end of the ebook.

3. Writing your own biography can be a squeamish business, especially to first time ebook writers. You could always ask someone else to plot out your list of achievements and present these in an objective manner. Nonetheless, the bottom line here is that you present personal facts as accurately as possible. Try not to embellish details. People do have a way of checking the authenticity of your supposed bio.

4. Book format. The actual book cover, page look, and “inserts” like blurbs and pictures, as well as chapter headings or chapter page designs should be done at the last stages of the writing process. If you want to include bibliographies or references, make sure you create a whole new page for this. If you have a forthcoming book, you may want to include “teasers” at the very last few pages to alert your readers that you have a lot more stuff to come.

Dedicating a lot of time to the polishing stage of your written work will reap its own rewards. At the very least, you will have an idea of what your potential buyers will get when they buy your ebook.
