Perhaps you’ve heard about the great money you can make writing and selling ebooks, but weren’t sure how to get started. Here’s the easiest way: cash in on your passions.
Here are two examples of people who did exactly this.
My friend Dora owns a pug called Stanley. He’s her first dog, and in his first year, developed every illness and disease known to dogdom. Dora saw Stanley through all his troubles, and in the process, learned a lot about dogs in general, and pugs in particular.
One day I winced as she told me about Stanley’s latest painful and expensive veterinary treatment, and asked why she didn’t write an ebook for dog owners on common dog health problems and their cures. Dora loved the suggestion and is happily writing the ebook. I’m sure it will do well, helping many dog owners and their dogs.
My friend Bob worked in the financial sector, and wasn’t surprised when he was told that his employer was letting him go. Bob had been aware for several years that he was in the wrong job, but since the money was great, he wasn’t leaving his job without a push.
In his spare time, Bob paints. He teaches art at his local community college, and art is his passion. Bob received a healthy payout from his job, and so for the first time was free to devote his time to art. He had one successful exhibition, and then another which was even more successful. Within a year, Bob was making a great income from his art; he has a blog, and sells paintings and photographs from his online store. I suggested that he write an ebook on how to turn a passion for art into a full-time career. Bob had done it, and he is coaching young painters in marketing, so he knows the kind of information artists need.
Bob is working on his ebook, and I’m sure it will not only be very successful, but will help many people.
You can do what Dora and Bob are well on the way to doing: you can write and sell ebooks, turning your passions into cash. You’ll be helping others with your knowledge too, so get started today.
