Why You Have To Write An EBook

admin — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 21:26:22 +0000

It’s not true that everything that has been said has already been written. Since that unfortunate axiom came into use, the whole universe has changed. Technology has changed, ideas have changed, and the mindsets of entire nations have changed.
The fact is that this is the perfect time to write an ebook. What the publishing industry needs are people who can tap into the world as it is today – innovative thinkers who can make the leap into the new millennium and figure out how to solve old problems in a new way. Ebooks are a new and powerful tool for original thinkers with fresh ideas to disseminate information to the millions of people who are struggling to figure
out how to do a plethora of different things.
Let’s say you already have a brilliant idea, and the knowledge to back it up that will enable you to write an exceptional ebook. You may be sitting at your computer staring at a blank screen wondering, “Why? Why should I go through all the trouble of writing my ebook when it’s so impossible to get anything published these days?
Well, let me assure you that publishing an ebook is entirely different than publishing a book in print. Let’s look at the specifics of how the print and cyber publishing industry differ, and the many reasons why you should take the plunge and get your fingers tapping across those keyboards!
Submitting a print book to conventional publishing houses or to agents is similar to wearing a hair shirt 24/7. No matter how good your book actually is, or how many critique services and mentor writers have told you that “you’ve got what it takes,” your submitted manuscript keeps coming back to you as if it is a boomerang instead of a valuable mine of information.
Perhaps, in desperation, you’ve checked out self-publishing and found out just how expensive a venture it can be. Most “vanity presses” require minimal print runs of at least 500 copies, and even that amount will cost you thousands of dollars. Some presses’ minimal run starts at 1,000 to 2,000 copies. And that’s just for the printing and binding. Add in distribution, shipping, and promotional costs and – well, you do the math. Even if you wanted to go this route, you may not have that kind of money to risk.
Let’s say you already have an Internet business with a quality website and a quality product. An ebook is one of the most powerful ways to promote your business while educating people with the knowledge you already possess as a business owner of a specific product or service.
For example, let’s say that you’ve spent the last twenty-five years growing and training bonsai trees, and now you’re ready to share your knowledge and experience. An ebook is the perfect way to reach the largest audience of bonsai enthusiasts.
Ebooks will not only promote your business – they will help you make a name for yourself and your company, and establish you as an expert in your field. You may even find that you have enough to say to warrant a series of ebooks. Specific businesses are complicated and often require the different aspects to be divided in order for the reader to get the full story.
Perhaps your goals are more finely tuned in terms of the ebook scene. You may want to build a whole business around writing and publishing ebooks. Essentially, you want to start an e-business. You are thinking of setting up a website to promote and market your ebooks. Maybe you’re even thinking of producing an ezine.
One of the most prevalent reasons people read ebooksis to find information about how to turn their Internet businesses into a profit-making machine. And these people are looking to the writers of ebooks to provide them with new ideas and strategies because writers of ebooks are usually people who understand the new cyberspace world we now live in. Ebook writers are experts in Internet marketing campaigns and the strategies of promoting and distributing ebooks. The cyberspace community needs its ebooks to be successful so that more and more ebooks will be written.
You may want to create affiliate programs that will also market your ebook. Affiliates can be people or businesses worldwide that will all be working to sell your ebooks. Think about this? Do you see a formula for success here?
Figure out what your subject matter is, and then narrow it down. Your goal is to aim for specificity. Research what’s out there already, and try to find a void that your ebook might fill.
What about an ebook about a wedding cake business? Or an ebook about caring for elderly pets? How about the fine points of collecting ancient pottery?
You don’t have to have three masters degrees to write about your subject. People need advice that is easy to read and easily understood. Parents need advice for dealing with their teenagers. College students need to learn good study skills – quickly. The possibilities are endless.
After you’ve writtten your ebook
Getting your ebook out is going to be your focus once you’ve finished writing it, just as it is with print books. People will hesitate to buy any book from an author they’ve never heard of. Wouldn’t you?
The answer is simple: give it away! You will see profits in the form of promoting your own business and getting your name out. You will find affiliates who will ask you to place their links within your ebook, and these affiliates will in turn go out and make your name known. Almost every single famous ebook author has started out this way.
Another powerful tool to attract people to your ebook is to make it interactive. Invent something for them to do within the book rather than just producing pages that contain static text. Let your readers fill out questionnaires, forms, even crossword puzzles geared to testing their knowledge on a particular subject. Have your readers hit a link that will allow them to recommend your book to their friends and associates. Or include an actual order form so at the end of their reading journey, they can eagerly buy your product.
When people interact with books, they become a part of the world of that book. The fact is just as true for books in print as it is for ebooks.
That’s why ebooks are so essential. Not only do they provide a forum for people to learn and make sense of their own thoughts, but they can also serve to promote your business at the same time.

Should You Self-Publish Your Book?

admin — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 22:22:30 +0000

Though self-publishing online has been a viable model for aspiring authors for at least the last 10 years, self published authors have been second-class citizens in the publishing world and are still somewhat looked down on by traditional publishers (for example, the NY Times will not review a self-published book under any circumstances). With the emergence of e-reader devices such as the iPad, Kindle, Nook, Sony Reader, etc. and the gentle (or not so gentle) unraveling of the publishing industry, this is all about to change. As these trends begin to play out, self-published authors will have direct access to larger and larger audiences and more and more receptive audiences. As more and more self-published authors see success over time, they will certainly look with either pity or bewilderment upon their ‘published’ brethren who will be saddled with their agent’s fees, paltry advances, miserably small royalties, and tied helplessly to the anchor of a traditional publisher who is becoming less and less relevant and less and less effective in marketing their book.What to do? The self-publishing model, while on the rise, is certainly no cure-all or quick-fix. In fact, it is hard work. And it is work that does not tend to come naturally to most authors — it really comes down to marketing. Marketing yourself can be daunting to many authors, but the rewards are well worth it, and the same trends that are slowly displacing traditional publishing are making it easier and cheaper to market yourself effectively online.At this point, if you are a fiction writer, you may still be holding out for a traditional publishing deal. Even if you are, you need to be aggressively marketing yourself in the meantime. You’d better have a good blog or website. You need to be active in social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Make samples of your work available as broadly as you possibly can. Create something that you can give away be it a short story, novella, or chapter sample. Traditional publishing deals have always been few and far between and difficult to land, but nowadays they are also becoming stingier and stingier as publishers are becoming increasingly risk-averse in this dynamic environment with new eReaders and new eBook stores arriving monthly. The more you do now to market yourself, the more likely that you will get a traditional deal, the more favorable it will be for you, and the more likely you will be to have success. If that traditional deal never comes, you will be very, very happy that you laid the foundation for a solid author brand and developed a readership and name for yourself. Your odds of successfully self publishing will have increases exponentially.If you are a non-fiction writer, the tipping point is upon us or is very, very soon to be. You should be very seriously considering self-publishing over pursuing a traditional publishing deal. You should be doing everything that fiction writers should be doing. The marketing tasks that are required to be successful as a non-fiction writer are easy and cheap enough to buy on the open market. Many of these tasks are far more effective when performed by the author rather than by a publisher, anyway (such as blogging and participating in social media).It is a very, very exciting time to be launching into self-publishing. As e-books and the self-publishing model grow and displace traditional models, many of the old barriers will lower and prejudices will go away (and even reverse!). If you write a good book and most importantly market it well over the next couple years, you’ll be very, vary glad you did.

Ebooks And Growing Residual Income

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:27:49 +0000

From a consumer’s point of view the cost of ebook purchases are undeniably less expensive than their paper counterpart. Many of these ebooks can be downloaded to portable devices allowing consumers to read the material virtually anywhere they go.
Mainstream publishers have caught the vision and have provided several high profile titles as ebook downloads. Some established authors are testing the waters by making new titles available exclusive by ebook download. This very action helps us understand the belief that ebooks may well be the maverick future of publishing.
Whether you have a work that is non-fiction and knowledge-based or a work of fiction, the self-distribution of your manuscript as an ebook allows you the greatest return on investment while giving you maximum control over the creative direction of your manuscript.
Another benefit comes in the worldwide availability of the ebook. You do not have to worry about the book making it to brick and mortar stores because it can be purchased and downloaded by anyone with an Internet connection.
Some authors have moved forward with traditional publishing techniques and find they either lose some control over the direction of the manuscript or, if they self-publish, they are saddled with significant upfront costs as well as warehousing issues.
The development of an ebook is a fraction of the cost of self-publishing while enabling the author to receive similar or greater returns.
The use of an ebook reseller allows you to release your creative work and permit someone else the opportunity to resell your work and account for the payment of all downloads. It should be noted there is typically a fee associated with this service, but for many, the hands-free nature of the service makes it an attractive proposition.
This situation also provides a means of moving forward with new manuscripts without the need to deal with managing the sale and distribution of your completed works.
Ebooks have become a solid means of achieving home-based business success. There are reports of many successful ebook businesses that have supplied their owners with enough money to pay the majority of their monthly bills without the need for constant oversight. Essentially these entrepreneurs are finding ebooks are a perfect compliment to other passions or interest these owners may have in business.
Many web-based entrepreneurs have discovered that income derived from a residual source (like ebook sales) is a prime component to a feeling of freedom when there is a need to take some time away from a home-based business.

Writing Ebook Doesn’t Mean Copying Matter And Style From Traditional Books

admin — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 20:23:45 +0000

Indeed, just about every American has at one time considered writing a book about something. Obviously, there are millions of books published, and you can tell just by going to your local library, or going to one of the large bookstores. There are books everywhere, and even in the future as electronic books become more popular and e-book readers become the way of the future, there will still be plenty of people who will want to have their say and put their thoughts into words.

Business 7 day eBook 7dayebook 7dayebook review affiliate marketing eBook become wealthy selling internet eBook easy eBook creator eBook eBook creation eBook creator eBook internet marketing strategy eBook marketing eBook online eBook publishing eBook writing how to write an eBook make eBook publish eBook sell eBook selling eBook write eBook Create a Lens. They realize that perhaps they don’t have the literary background to secure a publisher to create a real book, nor do they have time to chase down the fewer and fewer remaining publishers to help them produce their work.

They’d rather create a book using electronic methods, using the word processing tools on their computer. This site also includes information on writers and writing, from writing books to writing eBooks from publishing to self publishing, from writing your memoir to publishing a family cookbook.

Whether you’re a housewife, teacher, student, nurse, daycare worker, doctor or lawyer, you have the life experience and expertise to write eBooks that will bring value to others; Make a name for yourself as an expert in your niche Multiply and grow your on-line presence Build a targeted and responsive list of buyers Make a “nothing to sneeze at” paycheck Get paid for writing eBooks And, see it all by the end of next week.

Therefore, I told her; “Why don’t you get a job? While it is true that you can get paid for writing eBooks, more times than not, these deceiving “programs” return nothing more than an empty wallet, a sick sinking feeling and a thick lump left in your throat where your pride used to be, very hard to swallow. You have your first simple eBook web site on the internet and you followed everything in ‘Publishing for Profit’ and ‘How to write eBooks For Fun and Profit’? It doesn’t make any sense to me, I mostly see a bunch of scam artists out there promising the world trying to con suckers into buying garbage eBooks. Amazingly, “How to Write” is used not only in writing courses, but by Take a look at the “How to Write Ebook” website, for software preferences?”

Perhaps, my advice to you is that if you create an eBook then needs to be something of value. What I find is far too many people are creating e-books that are less than 10,000 words, hardly a book, and then selling them for $39.95 online telling other people how to create and sell e-books or how to market on the Internet to unsuspecting customers.

Write a book or an EBook and make money online by writing eBooks at home and learn to earn a 6 figure income. And although a few are legitimate, I am quite certain, these e-book writers do not seem to be worried that they will be assisting less-than-ethicals who are selling fraudulent stuff online. Please consider all this.

How to Get Your Book Published

admin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:15:21 +0000

There are 4 ways that you can publish a book:

1. Commercial Book Publishing

2. Self Publishing

3. Subsidy Publishing

4. Ebook Publishing

1. Commercial Book Publishing – This is the main way that authors have been getting published and can be very challenging. While there are thousands of publishing houses, today there are more writers than ever before.

A publishing house is a business and like all businesses they have a goal to create profits in an efficient manner. It is unlikely that you will be able to make contact with a publishing house if you don’t have a good literary agent.

Surveys show that only 1 out 400 applicants are accepted by literary agents for representation. The majority of literary agents prefer to take on clients that have previously been published.

To get published with a publishing house will take a combination of talent, timing and luck. You can be an very talented writer and have a wonderful book but if the publishing house just finished publishing a book that is similar to yours you may not be accepted – or if this is a “red hot market” then you may be lucky.

For these reasons it is important to do research and see what are the trends and what people are buying. An excellent resource for this type of information is Amazon’s Bestseller section.

2. Self Publishing – Where in the past commercial publishing was the only option, today you can “self-publish” your book. Self publishing is when you take on all of the jobs that are needed to create, print and distribute your book.

Some of the services required are:

*Editing – This is very important for most types of books

*Proof Pages – Preparing the pages and page order

*Artwork – You’ll need both Front and Back covers plus the internal artwork which is any images or clip-art that appears within the text

*Printing – You will need to turn your electronic files into hard/soft cover books. There are 3 options for printing: get a small amount printed, get a large amount printed or use a print-on-demand service

*Distribution – How will you distribute the books? You can contact retailers and online distributors yourself or utilize a professional service

The first step is to decide which tasks you will do and which tasks you will hire someone else to do. Today, thanks to the internet, there is lots of free information available on each step of the publishing process.

3. Subsidy Publishing – This is when the author pays a printer to produce a book and then earns royalties from the sales of the book. Sometimes this is confused with self publishing. With self publishing the author pays all the expenses and in turn receives 100% of the proceeds.

Another name for this is “Vanity Publishing Houses” which sometimes can have bad reputations. They will often claim that they can sell the book and then after paying for everything the writer is left without any real distribution and stuck with a bunch of books.

4. Ebook Publishing – This is a new approach that is gaining a lot of popularity. It is very easy to take a digital file and turn it into and ebook to sell online. A good way to do this is by having a personal website or blog and putting up articles and content to attract visitors and get publicity.

Alternatively, you can order an ISBN online and then companies like Amazon and Mobipocket will sell your ebook through their distribution network and you earn royalties from each sale.

Thanks to the internet there has never been a better time for an author to get published. Some people feel that because there is so much information online that traditional books will become obsolete.

I feel that while this may be true in some categories, for the most part it is the opposite – all of the free information creates a hunger for more!

When radio first arrived, the music industry was scared that they wouldn’t sell as many albums and then they started selling much more than ever before. It’s similar to how in a grocery store you are offered free samples, if it tastes good than you are more likely to buy.

I recommend spending a good amount of time doing research until you discover which is the best way for you to publish your book. I highly recommend utilizing the internet to share with others and grow your readership.

Write Your Own Book: eBooks Versus Published Hard Copy Books

admin — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 20:49:23 +0000

For many people, the world that they grew up in is long gone. The entire universe has changed since people first started considering ideas that did not include cookies and milk.
Since then, in many ways, technology has changed into something controlling instead of something useful. Ideas have changed faster than we can get used to them; mindsets of entire nations have changed.
This is the perfect time to write an eBook that taps into the world as it is today and explains how some of those world changes will impact our everyday lives.
Old problems need new solutions. If you can find the problems and fill the need for solutions with your ideas and experience, you’ll have a winner of an eBook.
Browsers like to download eBooks on topics that interest them. They are usually free or inexpensive, don’t require production or shipping costs and are full of information they were looking for when they fell over your eBook.
Publishing an eBook is an entirely different ball game to publishing a physical book.
Books in print (hard copies) are very expensive to publish, costing several thousand dollars and it could be months or years before your mother will ever see your sweated-over tome in a bookstore window. Your universe might even have changed twice while you were writing your epic.
After spending the lengthy months required to write a book, submitting a print book to conventional publishing houses or to agents is similar to a vacation on Devil’s Island. You might be told “you’ve got what it takes” 30 times but it’s meaningless when your manuscript keeps coming back to you as fast as you mail it out to agents and publishers. It really doesn’t matter how good your book is if it doesn’t get past the multitude of editors looking for a reason to send it back to you.
A check of self-publishing options, “vanity presses”, can be just as grim and expensive. Most vanity publishers require minimal press runs while relieving you of your rainy-day savings. A press run between 500 and 2000 copies, including only printing and binding, might cost you several thousand dollars. Additional costs will include distribution, shipping and promotion. Do you have that much spare money to spend?
Before you do anything in this arena, do a Google search for “vanity press” (with quotes) and select among the 125,000 hits you will get for the information you need.
While all the steps required to get your book published as a traditional hard-copy book might make you change your mind entirely about doing this, let me assure you that there’s a much simpler, cheaper and faster way to get your book published and making sales.
OK, so you’re probably wondering why you should go to all the trouble of writing your book. How will you ever be able to afford either the time or the cash involved? Quit sitting at your computer and staring at a blank screen. Help has arrived.
eBooks have emerged out of the rapid change and evolution of the World Wide Web, and have become one of the most powerful ways to promote your business and educate people on any subject you can conjure up.
Your eBook can be sold from your own website. Once written and put in PDF format, it can be silently making sales for you all day and night without the intervention of a publisher. You are the publisher. Yes, YOU!
Say you have a passion for a special niche, stamp collecting, for example. Maybe you started your collection with your grandfather or dad when you were very young. What started with a few stamps and a tattered album has grown into a full-time hobby for you. You know all the prices, the best way to present your stamps to other collectors, where to buy reasonably-priced stamps, how to preserve them and, maybe, a few secret techniques you’ve developed yourself.
You have the perfect makings of an eBook to share your information with other collectors and make your reputation as an expert source in your niche.
Your eBook will promote your business silently while bringing much needed information to hungry stamp collectors. And if you find that you have more than enough information for one eBook (this is usually the case, more often than not), write another.
The wonderful thing about writing eBooks is that you can write them rapidly and have them online and making you money in a heartbeat.

Self Publishing 101 How To

admin — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 21:00:02 +0000

There are many great advantages of self publishing an ebook, rather than a traditional print style book. The main advantage has got to be the cost.
When you publish a print book, you have to pay the publisher. When you publish your own ebook you are the publisher. When you publish a print book, the publisher always gets a cut of your hard earned money from the books sales. But when you sell each ebook, the profit is 100% yours.
There is also no need for printing, packaging, and shipping charges. So not only are you saving money for yourself, your customers will end up saving money. By having no extra charges to pay, you are able to offer a lower price for your ebook. When customers see that the price is lower, of course they will be excited and want to purchase your ebook.
When you sell a lower priced, high quality ebook, you create relationships with loyal readers that support your work and efforts to give them the best possible deals.
When you publish a print style book, you need to send in your manuscript to several potential publishers, crossing your fingers hoping that they accept your work. Even after you’ve been accepted, editors may wish to change your manuscript. Self publishing your own ebook, there are no editors to change your work. So your work truly is your work.
There are no deadlines to keep when your are writing and ebook publishing. You are free to work at your own pace, and whenever you have the extra time. ebooks are much easier to produce and quicker than a traditional print book.
Ebooks are a vastly growing phenomenon in this day and age. Everyone is growing more and more comfortable with gadgets, and computers. People are always looking for the next best thing, and ebooks are the next best thing to the actual print style book.
Ebooks don’t have to be read solely on computers. There are ebook reading devices. So you can take your ebook with you wherever you go. Just like a traditional print style book, minus the weight and clutter of traditional print style books.
Ebook publishing is extremely low-risk and easy. You aren?t spending a ton of money to create your ebook, as you would with a traditional print style book. You aren’t paying to ship your manuscript to dozens of publishers. You are simply typing your ideas, compiling them into the right format and posting them on your web site.
If you have a business that you need to promote, why not post advertisements inside the pages of your ebook. People who read your ebooks will see this advertising and want to check it out.
The internet is an amazingly effective marketing tool. You can target any specific market of people easily. Whatever genre your ebook is, you will find that target market on the internet.
There are so many growing ebook publishers out there, and so many ebooks to choose from. Downloading and reading ebooks has never been easier. This is the age of technology and ebooks are being considered as the new hardcover.

First, your ebook needs to have an attractive title. The title
should grab the attention of your intended target audience. The
more appealing the title, the more your ebook will be
downloaded. Your ebook needs to have quality content. You can
write your own content or ask permission to use another author’s
content. Your ebook will be read more if the content is
original. You will want to put your ad on the title page or on
the table of contents. This will give the most exposure for your
web site or the products you’re selling. It’s important to put
your ebook in as many formats as possible. Most ebook software
only allows the ebook to be read by certain browers and
software. People may not take the time to download a new
software program in order to read your ebook. Other versions of
your ebook could be in HTML, auto responder and downloadable
text format. You can contact other business owners and ask them
if they would like to include their ad in your ebook. Just ask
them in return to advertise your free ebook on their web site or
in their e-zine for a set period of time. This method will get
your free ebook marketing campaign off to a fast start. Allow
the people who download your ebook to give it away to their
visitors. This will multiply your free ebook’s exposure. Submit
your ebook to the growing number of free ebook directories on
the internet. These web sites also offer more information about
ebook marketing. Some of them also have ebook discussion forums
where you can ask questions and learn more about ebook
marketing. It is just SO SIMPLE AND EASY to publish your own
ebooks! When you see how easy it is you will kick yourself for
not publishing and promoting your own ebooks sooner. For more
