Publish Yourself Online with eBooks
We have all seen those web-pages that offer the one “secret” to making massive amount of money online, generating more traffic then you could ever imagine or some other empty promise that the author could never deliver upon.
For the Internet marketing newbie, most of these products will leave you so confused and misguided that you will never succeed. Most of them are filled with regurgitated information that the author heard from someone else and now trying to pass off as their own, despite the fact that they have never actually done “it,” by producing their own original product.
It goes without saying that many of the products sold for hundreds of dollars are nothing more than elaborate and wordy marketing pitches, that contain little to no information. Their “secret websites” that they recommend you join are ones they either own or are an affiliate of. It’s all smoke and mirrors, and you will never make a dollar using their recommendations, reselling their products, surfing their website or becoming an affiliate of their “system” unless you already know what you are doing, at which point you don’t need them anyway.
Here is a little secret about the Internet Marketing and eBook publishing business. Those that make money produce and promote their own products first, and they do it with passion and flair.
While 95% of the competition is focused entirely on make money or Internet marketing based topics, the best eBook publishers steer clear of these topics to find hidden niches just waiting for their information. If you are just starting out trying to publish your own product, you should create products that are not based on online and money making topics, but instead ones that have real world application to people’s lives.
So are you likely to make money online selling eBooks? It really depends on how creative and motivated you are to bring your product to market, in addition to what sort of understanding you have of Internet marketing. If you understand what goes into a quality product, how to produce or package it in a form that people want to buy, and then how to get it in front of people, you should do well. If you don’t the probability of selling your product will be low.
How to publish student writing
Whether you’re majoring in journalism, minoring in writing or just taking a few night classes in feature writing, the thought of seeing your name in print may be exciting. As rewarding as a great paper on assignment can be, many students dream of seeing their article hit the big time. Every year, thousands of students publish articles. Here’s how.
Hit up the campus press
Drop by your campus paper and ask if they take student submissions. College newspapers are usually run by volunteers and eager for extra help.
Look for student pages
The Ottawa Citizen, a major newspaper, published the first article I ever submitted. I originally sent it to their student writing section, but the editor liked it so much that he elevated it to the Op/Ed spread. As a result, I got paid for my 800-word article. But, for me, nothing beat the satisfaction of seeing my name at the top of a column. Check your local paper to see if they publish articles by students — it may be a good way to catch the eye of an editor.
Write letters to the editor
A good letter shows you have a command of writing, research skills, persuasive argument techniques, and gumption. It might not be the same as a published article, but a letter to the editor helps keep your name in front of editors. In fact, I know a magazine editor who still writes letters to the editor, just to keep his writing skills fresh.
Start a blog on a hot topic
By writing a blog, you can show expertise in a subject area — and maybe make some money from ads. By focusing on a key subject area — as opposed to your roommate’s latest foible or the life of your cat — you can build a following. Later, you can include your blog in your portfolio, as evidence of your ability to write for real audiences, optimize for search engines and keep on top of a subject.
Query editors
Grab a copy of Writer’s Market and write up some query letters. Send your queries and writing samples to small publications, especially those that don’t pay. Struggling publications with limited budgets are hungrier for good writing. Once you’ve established a track record, you can query bigger publications.
Turn your papers into ebooks
Publish your articles as ebooks and sell them through websites. Some ebook publishers even allow you to publish printed copies and sell on demand via the publishers’ websites.
Student journalism and writing programs offer you opportunities to refine and reflect your writing. But getting your articles published is the icing on the cake. Try the above tricks and look forward to seeing your name on the byline.
