Write and Sell eBooks

 

Just like creating a website, I believe anyone can write a book about a topic they enjoy or know a lot about. And everyone knows something about something that others can benefit from.

Write and sell eBooks!

I challenge you to keep an open mind as you review the information here - whether you are an aspiring author or not! There's money to be made online with your publications, or somebody else's.

Let's get right to it ... there's lots of information here so be sure to scroll through the entire page.

Tips Booklets

Can you write a list of tips or instruction about a particular subject? How about ... "25 ways to make an MS Word document look more attractive" or "50 ways to keep your house always looking ready for company".

Can you describe something you know about or enjoy in paragraphs or sections like "50 delicious desserts you can make with chocolate chip cookies" or "How to plant the top 20 flowers that attract butterflies".

Sure you can! Read more about Tip Booklets and view some examples.

eBook Formats: PDF vs. EXE

PDF Format

Simply use MS Word or your preferred word processing software to create your masterpiece and convert the completed file into a PDF format. This can be opened on either a Windows or Mac environment and viewed using a free software called Adobe Reader.

Get Adobe Reader Create Adobe® PDF Online

Acrobat 8 generic 125x125There are a variety of ways to convert your document to PDF. You can add Create Adobe PDF as a printer on your computer, or use their online conversion software.

You can also purchase either the stand alone Distiller software or the full Acrobat software program. This is what I use and find extremely useful beyond just creating secure, professional PDF documents. Yes, it's an investment. But if you are in this for the long run ... it will pay for itself quickly.

Here's an excellent article from About.com about using Adobe Distiller to convert a document into PDF.

Another PDF converter software that I really like is BCL Easy PDF. Your readers can download the free Adobe Reader for viewing and printing ... but you don't have to invest in the Acrobat software program to create professional, secure PDF documents. This program is only $14.95 and will accomplish the basics for you.

EXE Format

I've invested a little too heavily in executable-type software for my eBooks. As it turns out, I don't use any of them. This is one of those expensive lessons I want to spare you from.

The main reasons I don't like them are 1) the eBook files don't generally open on a Mac computer so Mac users are eliminated as your customers. Not good! and 2) any executable file can pick up and spread viruses. I certainly don't want to risk passing on a computer virus to my eBook customers, no matter how miniscule the possibility.

Maybe there are new EXE products on the market that solve the above two dilemmas. I stopped pursuing the matter after blowing a few hundred dollars on good, quality programs I felt I couldn't use because of the reasons above.

After producing several eBooks and other documents in PDF format both for sale and for free, I find PDF to serve all of my needs, and the needs of my customers very effectively.

Though I won't specifically recommend any EXE products, here is some information about both formats to help you make an informed decision for yourself. If you research this subject online, you will find A LOT of search results for various HTML or EXE eBook products. However, if you visit professional websites selling quality eBooks, you will notice that the majority of them are available in PDF format.

From Entrepreneur to Infopreneur

I really respect Stephanie Chandler. She is just as sincere and enthusiastic personally as she is in her "author voice" in this book. By the way, check out her fantastic website at BusinessInfoGuide.com.

Stephanie really sealed the deal for me. I gained the confidence I lacked. She answered every question I had left that was stopping me from taking the final steps to succeed with eBooks. I especially enjoyed the profiles of other successful infopreneurs ... many of whom have since become my mentors.

Stephanie and I got in touch, and I told her that reading her book felt like we were having a personal conversation, just her and I. She answered in her humble way, "I am so grateful for your kind words and am thrilled that you found so much value in the book."

She's a true blue ... just like you and I ... doing something she loves, sharing her passion and knowledge.

The book isn't very expensive ... worth 10 times the price, in my opinion ... but absolutely necessary if you are even considering pursuing the Information Products venue.
