Why Write an Ebook?

Author: Bhavna sharma.

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 eBooks is 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 written 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

How Ebooks Can be Very Valuable

  • Filed under: Ebooks

Author: Raj Kumar.

Let’s look at each of these points in turn:
Cheaper to create:
The eBook can be created on a shoestring budget since it is possible for its publishing and marketing costs to be minimal. On the other hand the traditional book has a higher cost structure. This means the author will have to overcome a tough sales target before they even consider making a profit on the book.
The costs the author will incur if he follows a traditional book format include:
· Publishing costs
· The profit margin that the bookstores will want to sell the book
· Distribution costs
· Marketing costs including advertising costs
Quicker to create
The eBook could be written and published in as little as 7 days. For other potential authors who work at a slower pace, the whole process of writing and publishing a book could be done within a month.
On the other hand for a traditional book the time span between starting a book and writing it could take around 18 months. By that time the information contained in the book could be out of date especially if the book is technology or research related.
Easier to target a wide market
With eBooks the sky the limit! The eBook may be sold on the Internet to anyone who has a credit card and an Internet connection in any place in the world. Since an author can control the topics of their book, they can decide whom to market to.
However with a traditional book it may be difficult to expand to new markets since it will involve further significant costs on distribution and marketing.
High profit potential
EBooks can be produced on a shoestring budget but since customers may believe they offer value for money, the author may charge more for them than expected. It is not impossible for almost everything grossed from an eBook being profit.
On the other hand traditional books have high production and marketing costs and this means the author (unless they are very popular) will have great difficulty in recovering these costs and making a profit.
More versatile than traditional books
EBooks could be used for a number of purposes. The most common method is for the sale of the eBook. However an eBook could be used as a free gift to customers to entice them to buy a product from you. It can also be transformed into audiocassettes or digital products.
To conclude eBooks are a very valuable tool that could be used as a profit centre, as a publishing tool or as a marketing tool. It has many advantages over the traditional book.

Easy Method to Write Your First Ebook

Author: jomark3@verizon.net.

Would you like to write your own ebook? All of the big Internet Guru’s have ebooks out there that they are selling. It is one of their primary sources of income. Some ebooks have 150 to 250 pages. If you are planning on writing your first ebook, you should make it a little smaller than 150 pages.

Don’t shoot for the moon with your first ebook. Make it a small mini-ebook consisting of 10 to 15 pages. Before you reject this idea, consider this:

1. If you are building a list, you want a small free ebook that you can give to people who subscribe to your list. A small 10 to 15 page mini-ebook is ideal for this purpose. Just make sure you include valuable information inside. Your subscribers will judge your future products by what they see in the free ebook that you give them in the beginning.

2. Go viral. Give away a small mini ebook that contains numerous links to your website, squeeze page, and products that you endorse. A good viral ebook can bring you traffic (and increase your income) for years. Don’t dismiss this option.

3. Sell mini-ebooks on your site. I sell a number of small 10 to 15 page mini ebooks. These items have the highest conversion rate of anything I sell. They convert at about 14%. When you consider that the average Internet ebook converts at about 1%, they are great sellers. I sell them all for less than $10 each so it is not my biggest profit center. But they bring in money each and every month with no additional work from me.

So if you are thinking about writing your first ebook, try writing a mini ebook or two. It could pay off big and be just the thing to prepare you to that write that 250 page mega hit that you’ve been thinking about.

If you are planning on writing an ebook, you know that it takes lots of research to put together a quality product. One way that many people do research is by doing interviews with people who are respected in the field. If you’re planning an ebook that requires this type of research, you can double the amount of more that you can charge for your product.

Let’s assume for purposes of this example that you have written a 50-page ebook. After doing some research on similar products, you plan to sell it for $37. This is about average for a good quality 50 page ebook. And let’s assume that part of your research involved interviewing 3 experts in the field. By converting those three interviews into a good mp3 and including it in your ebook package, you could increase the price you charge by about 25%. People perceive a recording as having real value and they are willing to pay for it.

However, if you really wanted to be upscale, you could take that same recording and put it on a CD (along with a nice looking label) and include that instead of the mp3. Including a CD with your ebook is valued very highly by some buyers. When using a CD Ebook combination, you can almost double the price of your original product. Of course, you should keep in mind that you will also have higher expenses using this technique. There are envelopes, postage, CD’s, labels, and possibly artwork that you have to work into the price.

If you plan on using interviews for your next ebook, get a release that the person you are interviewing can sign that gives you the right to use a recording of the interview in any manner you choose. You can find legal releases by doing a search.

Would you like to write an ebook? You’ve heard about the millions that the big Guru’s are making on ebooks and you want to get a piece of that action. Many people have hopes to write that blockbuster ebook but, in most cases, their dreams never come to fruition. Their ambition never translates into action.

When they start to consider how much work it involves, many people dismiss the idea and go about their business looking for the next get rich quick scheme. These people will never make serious money online.

Make no mistake, writing your own ebook is work, but it doesn’t have to be hard work. In addition, if this is your first ebook, don’t try to tackle a 200-page monster ebook. Start small. Write a small 10 page mini ebook. I sell a number of mini ebooks on my sites and they have the highest conversion rates of anything that I sell. They convert at about 14%. That is about 14 times higher than the average conversion rate for all products on the Internet.

What can you do with your first mini ebook? You can use it as a free give-away item for people who opt into your list. Free ebooks are a great incentive and people will gladly subscribe to your list if you offer them a good ebook, even if it is only 10 pages.

Another great use for your first ebook is to offer it as a viral work. Include links to your website, squeeze page, and products that you endorse. Make sure it includes information telling people that they have the right to sell it, give it away, or offer it as a bonus. Using this technique, you can generate traffic (and income) for years. Use every available option to get your ebook into the hands of others. Email it to your list, offer it in forums, place ads for it on your site, and promote it in articles.

Once you’ve completed your first ebook, the second and third will be much easier. So get started, sit down and start writing that first ebook. Who knows maybe you will be the next big Internet Guru that I will be writing about.

How to Write a Best Selling Ebook

  • Filed under: Ebooks
Wednesday
Apr 9,2008

Author: jomark3@verizon.net

If you have an online business, you probably know that the most profitable product you can sell is one that you create yourself. If that is the case, why are there so many people complaining that they’ve written an ebook, but no one is buying it?

The answer to that is simple; it involves a poor choice of subject matter! Many Internet coaches will tell you that you should write about subjects that you enjoy. Writing about a subject you enjoy may ensure that you will finish the project, but it does not mean that people will buy it.

If your ebook is a ‘how to ebook’ on taming wild horses, you are not going to sell a lot of ebooks. There is not a lot of interest in taming horses. And when there is little interest, there are few buyers. If your ebook describes all of the wonderful uses of whale oil, it is possible that one or two Eskimos will be interested, but few others will buy the ebook.

You’ve got to write about subjects that people are interested in. The best selling ebooks solve a problem. If you want to sell a lot of ebooks, find a solution to a common problem and put it into an ebook. If your mother used a secret family recipe to create a concoction that cured a rash; that could be a best seller. If you have discovered a technique to triple your website traffic that requires little or no work, that is a best selling ebook.

Focus on problems and how to solve them. Visit forums and find out what people are complaining about. If you have a solution, or if you can do enough research to find a solution; that is a subject for your next ebook. And I can almost guarantee you that it will sell much more than your last ebook.

Guidelines for Reviewing Writing

  • Filed under: Ebooks
Wednesday
Apr 9,2008

Author: Bhavna sharma.

Writing detailed reviews is time well spent.
Reviewing itself is a writing exercise. At Writing.Com, creating detailed feedback for a fellow writer is one of the best tools available for improving your own writing. That said, if you’re going to spend the time to do it, helping the author is important. There is a better chance for the ideas in a review to get through to an author if they are well presented.
Key Characteristics For Reviews
* Reviews should be honest. Helping writers improve their craft should be the mission of any reviewer. Honest opinions are what help writers improve. Giving false feedback doesn’t help anyone and can lead an author down a long road to bitter disappointment.
* Reviews should be encouraging. Everyone at every level should be encouraged to continue writing! Encouraging reviews are more likely to be used by an author which means the time creating the review was well spent. Whether the author decides to use the reviewer’s honest suggestions or not, the review should be motivating and encourage the author to keep writing.
* Reviews should be respectful. Regardless of an author’s level of skill or talent, a reviewer should always respect that the author is an individual person. A reviewer flaunting that they are better than the author they’re reviewing is not respectful and is counterproductive.
* Reviews should be well rounded. While honesty is very important, a review that points out only flaws without any mention of an item’s positive points is not nearly as helpful to an author as a well rounded review with both positive and negative remarks. Don’t forget, the same goes for reviews that only point out positives! Even the greatest pieces of writing have room for suggestions and opinions.
* The rating should reflect the review. If you’re sending a review full of corrections, it’s important to consider that with your star rating selection. 5.0’s shouldn’t need any corrections. On the other extreme, a 1.0 should have endless errors and you couldn’t possibly list them all. Offering to return and rerate the item after a round of updates makes it more likely your suggestions will be considered.
* Reviews should make good use of color, bold and italics. When reviewing, presentation is very important! Color can be used to make corrections stand out or quote small portions of the work. Emoticons can highlight important points in the review and can be creatively used to make the review feel more friendly.
The Content Of A Review
Keeping in mind the six (6) points highlighted above, a review should contain your opinion. While grammatical, typographical and other errors can be included within a review, don’t forget to tell the author how the piece made you feel. Give them your thoughts about the inside of their writing, not just the outside.
Some example questions you may ask yourself about the piece to help you get your opinion across are as follows: Did the plot interest you? Were the characters believable? Did the story fit the time, place and other setting characteristics? Is there anything you would change within the story?
Incorporating these thoughts within your reviews will expand your own analytical skills allowing you to better analyze your own writing. Whether the author agrees with any of your suggestions or ideas is not relevant. You have given them another perspective on their work they would not have otherwise had. They may hear the same thoughts from a number of different people which may give them a better understanding of their readers as a whole.
Use “copied and pasted” portions of the item you are reviewing as little as possible. Posting sections of an item within your review leads to “review bloating” and takes away from the impact your comments and suggestions will have on the author.
Your Own Review Format
Developing your own format for reviewing can be a great asset. Determine what aspects of writings you like to focus on most, create a short outline to follow and start reviewing. Following this process will help keep your reviews honest and consistent. As your experience grows, you’ll find ways to improve your format and your skills.
Get into the good habit of using a custom tag-line of encouragement within your reviews. Including a “Keep Writing!” or something unique and individual within your reviews goes a long way to motivating an author. We know you mean it, so don’t forget to say it!
Make Reviewing a Daily Creative Writing Exercise
Remember, reviewing grows your own writing skills unlike any other writing tool. Critically analyzing and reviewing others’ writings makes a writer stop and think about what works and what doesn’t. Putting that into words and communicating that to another writer, ultimately helps the reviewer to improve his or her own writing skills, as well. So it’s about helping others, but it’s a valuable way to help ourselves!
