Write an eBook
Everyone has a gift, talent, or interest which others would love
to learn about and they would pay to learn about it. Writing an
ebook is one of the most simple ways to do this! All you need to
do is write something, put it into pdf, and set it up to sell it.
1. Write Something.
Start by asking yourself what your special interests are or what
things you are knowledgeable about which others would like to
learn about. What experiences have you been through which other
people would find fascinating? Two areas which I've found people
love reading about are creative home business ideas and ways to
save money. Topic such as these will especially attract buyers
because they will hope to get a lot more out of your ebook than
they paid for it. If they expect the information in your ebook
to save them quite a bit more money than they paid for it, they
will usually be anxious to buy it. The same goes for ebooks on
home business ideas.
Pick your topic and start writing! The nice thing about ebooks
is that they don't have to be long. 25-40 pages is a good size
for ebooks, though longer or shorter is acceptable. Be sure to
have a couple different individuals proof your ebook;
typographical errors are so common nowadays, but that doesn't
make them right or acceptable. Numerous typos in books or ebooks
always leaves a poor reflection on the author.
2. Convert Your eBook to PDF.
Once you have written your ebook and have it laid out in an
easy-to-read manner, you will need to convert it into pdf or an
ebook format using an ebook program. If you do not already have
a pdf program, you can download a free pdf converter program
here: http://www.PDF995.com. PDF is best to use for smaller
ebook files, if you have a larger ebook file, I would recommend
eBook Generator.
3. Set Up Your eBook to Sell.
In order to sell it online, a great program to begin with is
PayLoadz.
(http://www.payloadz.com/affiliates/go.asp?a=payments@covenantwed
dingsource.com). I have been using PayLoadz for my ebooks and
have been extremely happy with it. It allows you to set up the
book process so that your ebooks can be instantly downloaded
once your customer pays for them. This makes it much easier for
everyone! Your customers will love being able to instantly
download the ebooks and you will love not having to mess with
sending them a download link. Once you have your ebook written
and it set up on PayLoadz, you can just sit back and allow the
payments to come in. You can set up an affiliate program through
PayLoadz which allows others to make money by promoting your
ebook. (See my affiliate marketing page for more information on
this:

If you are planning to sell a lot of your ebooks and you want to
have an affiliate program (which I highly recommend you do),
ClickBank is an excellent program to consider using
(http://CPaine.reseller.hop.clickbank.net). They charge a $50
fee to set up your ebook and they take out a small percentage of
each sale, but they will give you wide exposure for you ebook
which you will probably not be able to generate from your
website.
In order to sell your ebook online, you need to have a website.
It can be something extremely simple as just a two page
sales-letter-type of website. There are multitudes of website
options available out there. I would recommend starting out with
something extremely simple. If you know nothing about html, you
could hire someone to create it for you or you could use
something like Create Your Own Website. Make sure that you put
testimonials on your website from people who have purchased your
ebook (you can give away some copies in exchange for
testimonials!). Testimonials add a lot of credential ,
especially if the people who write them have their own website
or business in a similar field.
