No
question about it, e-books are hot.
Now, more than ever before we see people selling e-books online. From mom n'
pop start-up ventures to master marketers, you're bound to come across a web
site hawking one of these new-age digital products on your quest for
cyber-success.
(article continued below ...)
While some still insist upon the seemingly-stone-age paper back, others are
already taking advantage of the many benefits of an electronic book.
With e-books touting instant delivery, zero production costs, zero shipping
costs, and complete automation, who could ignore the time and money saving
benefits?
The fact is, people will pay for your how-to information no matter what form
its in. This is reassuring news for the modern day netrepreneur who dreams
(literally) of waking up to an inbox full of orders. E-books may be for you.
So, just what does it take to create and profit from one of these
not-so-new-anymore electronic thingy-ma-jigs? Glad you asked...
Well, the obvious things are some software to write it with (which you may
already have), the time to sit down and begin creating it (can be done in 10
hours), and some effort on your part (c'mon, you know you can do it).
Once you have some time and a word processor program, which 99.9% of you
have, you're ready. (oh please, I don't want to hear that "I'm the
other .1%" stuff, you've got the time.)
Brainstorm
A good place to begin is to brainstorm about what you know. Type in
everything you know how-to-do. Stick to main topics here, worry about the
nitty-gritty later.
Any technique, process, or secret way you know of doing something that can
help someone else out there in cyber-space is good. That translates to
"money in your pocket" in business opportuniguese (my native
language).
Choose a topic
Next, choose your most-mastered topic (probably one near the top of your
list) and make that the heading of an outline.
Think of everything you know and write it down. Think of everything a reader
would want to know about the topic and write it down, even if you don't know
it yet.
Wring your brain out. Squeeze it dry of ideas. Wait a few hours and rack it
again. Repeat the process tomorrow.
After you have a nice, long list of sub-topics to elaborate on (and a brain
that's turned to mush), you're ready begin the last phase of creating your
electro-masterpiece.
Write about it
Run through your outline and pick a sub-topic. It doesn't even have to be at
the top. Start with what is most comfortable for you.
Try writing a page or two every day on each sub-topic. This will get you in
good shape, like running. Before you know it, you'll be cranking out pages
like a paper press - and ready to write a marathon!
(Don't try running a marathon, us desk-chair ridden netrepreneurs can't
handle that sort of thing!)
It really isn't that hard to create an e-book of your own to sell. A lot of
people stick with an affiliate program because they think its just too much
of a task to create a product. Don't let this thinking limit you. You can do
it.
Especially if you learn to make writing fun.
Many people give an e-book away free to visitors of their site. Free e-books
can be fabulous lead generators and also build credibility with prospects.
As you can see, almost everyone out there can benefit from creating an
e-book of their own to sell or even give away.
So what the heck are you waiting for? Take my advice and get started today.
