5 Sizzling Tips to Create a Winning E-book
If you have been looking for a genuine business opportunity on
the internet, somewhere along the way, you have heard about
creating an e-book. And no doubt, you have read about the
thousands of dollars you can make from home publishing. It just
gets your juices going to think you could write an e-book and
sell it to people all over the World and create an income that
can replace your job. The excitement sets in but then the
reality hits. You say to yourself, "I hate to write, I failed
writing in school, my friends laugh at me because I can't
spell." Or, maybe the voice rattling around in your head
screaming failure says, "What would I write about, I don't know
enough about anything to write a book?"
Here are 5 sizzling tips to help you on your way to creating a
winning e-book.
1. The Easy Way
No matter what advice I might offer, there are some of you out
there that just don't want to write. The best thing to do is to
find people that have already written a quality e-book and will
offer you a resale license or agreement. Sometimes it is free if
you buy the book which is what I do. And others charge a small
fee for the complete resale rights. All in all, for most e-books
out there, you can buy them for under $100 with resale rights. A
business is born. Try and look for newer e-books and those that
would be interesting to you. E-books that make the most amount
of money teach you how to avoid pain or how to gain pleasure.
2. Another Great Idea
Go to the top article directories and search for articles in
your subject of interest. For example, if you wanted to write a
book that helps people save money on their taxes, go to several
article directories and look up what articles have been written
on that subject matter. If you see twenty great tips that can
save people up to $1000 a year or more, you could compile a
report that says something like "20 Tax Saving Strategies You
Can't Afford to Miss." Of course, you can't use these articles
word for word because that is illegal but you can write down
your own thoughts and ideas about each of the tips and re-write
them in your own words. Now you can market this on the internet
and sell it for $39.95. Do you think some reasonable portion of
the 265 million people that live in the USA are interested in
tax savings? You bet!
3. The Born Writer
Some years ago, Reader's Digest reported that some 70% of people
acknowledge they had a book inside of them they wanted to write
one day. Most of us have something we want to share but many
times just don't know where to get started or feel overwhelmed
by writing a whole book. This is where e-books can be fun. Most
e-books are about 50 pages long with 12pt type and paragraphs
double spaced. They really aren't that long. If you break your
e-book down into tips or ideas, it is easier to write. For
instance, if you generated 50 tips, you would have one page per
tip. That's not so daunting! And, for heaven's sake, write when
you feel like writing. I have found that I can write twice as
much when I feel inspired. And the quality is oh so much better!
4. What's Hot?
If you are at a loss of what to write about, go to Amazon.com
and find out what the best sellers are. They are a wonderful
resource for anyone. Let's say your interest is in the top
weight loss programs. Order the 3 best selling books, read them
and then write your own e-book. If it is a subject matter you
are interested in, you'll breeze through the books and have lots
of ideas and comments. Even if your interests don't seem like
you would have much of an audience, you might be surprised to
find out otherwise. Going to Overture and typing in your keyword
is always helpful. For most subjects there are thousands if not
millions of people that want to know more. If you can provide
them with quality information, they will buy from you.
5. Teach What you Know
Most of us have some kind of a specialty but don't recognize our
talents. "No talent lies latent." It could be anything from
raising a difficult child to coaching basketball. Or it could be
related to a job you have held whether it is a mechanic for
sports cars or a software developer. Your e-book could simply be
teaching someone how to do it better. Or maybe it is how to save
time, or money or enjoy life more or to live healthier. People
want better lives and if you show them some solutions, you'll
sell your e-book. Remember, your e-book doesn't and shouldn't be
a novel. Break things down into steps or ideas and the writing
will go smoother.
I hope these 5 simple tips have ignited the fire in your brain
and inspired you to write that e-book. A business opportunity
will be born.
