Ebooks relieve pain: offer solutions and make money

January 28th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

You’re a new ebook author and you want to make money - preferably a lot of money.

Here’s the secret: you must offer a solution to a problem people have. Offer solutions, and you can make money writing and selling ebooks.

Start with yourself - what challenges have you overcome?

You’ve had challenges, and you’ve overcome them - EVERYONE HAS.

For example, perhaps you were overweight and you successfully lost weight. Or you child was bullied in school, and you put a stop to it. Or your child had allergies and you found a solution.

Problems are universal. Everyone has problems - even people who are blessed with looks, money, and opportunities galore have problems.

Problems mean pain, and people will happily pay for pain relief. So when you’re writing ebooks, you need to target PROBLEMS and SOLUTIONS.

Want to develop a six-figure writing income?

The September 2007 issue of The Writer had a great story: “Secrets Of The Six-Figure Freelancers”. The story’s wonderful because it shows you the potential of a freelance writing career; with the development of the Web and its unlimited markets, if you can write, you can make a great income as a freelance writer.
I chuckled when I read the story because many writers think a “six figure income” is hype. Either that, or they think that a great income is reserved for copywriters, or genre novelists, or other specialist writers.
The fact is that YOU can develop a six-figure writing career: you just need to know that it’s possible to earn $250,000 a year and more as a freelance writer, and then make that your goal.
And of course, you need know-how. That’s what my writing ebook manuals give you. In 30 years as a freelance writer, I’ve learned the tricks of the writing trade, and I’d love to share those tricks with you, so many of my ebooks offer free coaching. Whatever your level of experience as a freelance writer, you can develop a fantastic career, when you know how.

Unlike print books, which are upwards of 200 pages, ebooks are short. Most range from 30 to 70 pages. Because they’re meant to be read on a computer, buyers prefer their ebooks short, and information-packed.

How To Sell Your Ebooks - Sell To Marketers, Or Sell Your Ebooks To Readers

You can paid whatever price you ask, which makes a nice chunk of change for you to add to your bank account.

Ebooks - Tips for creating an ebook

April 3rd, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

Writing and selling ebooks is the easiest (and most fun) way to become a top-earning Web writer.

An ebook can be any length; some are around 20 pages and some are over 100 pages. Ebooks are popular because the person buying the book can, usually, download it right after they buy it. There is no waiting for the book to be shipped. Even traditional book outlets, such as Amazon, now carry ebooks.

You can create an ebook around any topic. If you already have a website filled with content, think about what your target market would more information on. If you fill your ebook with quality information, people will be willing to pay for it. The average person does not have a lot of free time; in many cases they would rather pay to have all the information they are looking for in one place than search throughout the internet to locate bits and pieces of the information on various web pages.

Once you decide the topic of your ebook, you will need to plan your content. Breaking the work up into tiny bits will make the process easier. If you are planning to have a 50 page ebook, think of it as 50 articles. If you can write five articles a day, you can create your ebook in ten days. If you want to work at a slower pace, try writing two articles a day; you will still have created an ebook in less than a month.

You can write your ebook in any word processing software, but to make sure anyone who buys it will be able to read it, you will want to convert the file into a PDF before you publish it. Anyone who downloads a free copy of Adobe Reader will be able to read a PDF file. There are various places on the web that will allow you to convert your file into a PDF for free (try Google docs).

If you choose, you can sell your ebook through a retailer that specializes in digital products, such as Clickbank. You can set up an account for under $50. Clickbank has a virtual army of affiliates, and their affiliates can promote your book. You will need to determine how much commission you are willing to offer them. You can also set up your own affiliate program. This will give you a bit more control of your product, as you will know which affiliates are promoting the book and can contact them.
