WRITING AND MARKETING AN eBOOK
By: Jennifer Hindmarsh
Once you are ready to write your own eBook, you need to think of a topic, something that will interest other people. Your eBook can be about anything - making money, trading on eBay, buying and selling cheap property, gambling, improving your sex life, anything. Just be careful that your chosen topic does not violate the selling policy of the eBay site you are listing on.Research your topic well - visit your library or search Google. If you can, write what you know. If you have some knowledge that might interest other people or change their lives - write it down!It's a good idea to use other eBooks as a guide. Be careful, however, not to copy someone else's work and never sell a digital item that does not come with resell rights - you might find that your online auction career is cut dramatically short!Your eBook can be as long as you like.I'd recommend at least 40 pages. Make sure that it's well written and well structured. You don't need to use any special programmes to write your eBook. The one that you are reading now was created using Microsoft Word with all of the features that come with it.Once you've got an idea of what you're eBook is going to be about, simply open up Microsoft Word, let the creative juices flow, start typing and see what happens . . .It may take days, weeks or even months until you've created an eBook that you are happy with. Once your eBook is complete, add pics or photos to it and try to make it look as nice as you can. Then you will be ready to convert it to PDF format.In a nutshell, converting a file to PDF simply changes the look of a document and makes it more difficult for your buyers to try to amend, edit or steal it. (And some will try, believe me). What you are reading now is the PDF version of the easy-cash system after it has been converted from a Microsoft Word document.Converting a document to PDF is easy. You get your first five conversions for free by visiting the website below.http://www.adobe.com/
To convert your document, type 'create PDF' into the search engine, click the first link and then click 'Try it for Free' You will need to register, but this simply means providing your email address, and then you will be guided through a step by step process where you locate your Microsoft Word file on your computer, upload the file to the website, choose 'eBook' and then the file will be converted as you wait.Now open another window and copy and paste this -http://www.clickbank.com/
As well as selling eBooks via a website, you can sell your own eBook using ClickBank, the world's largest digital marketplace.ClickBank has thousands of affiliates who are waiting to promote your digital products. Put simply, as a ClickBank Publisher you agree with affiliates the commission rate you are willing to offer. In return they promote your eBook across the Web. And because you only pay if there is a sale, it's a risk free and almost cost free way to reach thousands of new customers.There would be nothing worse than spending weeks writing an eBook only to have someone buy your eBook, copyright it and then start selling it themselves.In the worst case scenario, you could find yourself taken to court by someone who is selling your eBook! To empathise this point, I would like to relate the story of an eBayer, the second worst customer I have ever had, who purchased my easy-cash system in the USA late last year.He initially placed an offer for my item which he later withdrew saying that he couldn't contact the seller. That was his first lie. He then purchased easy-cash outright and within a few hours asked for a refund. The following day, he listed my system under his account and began selling it using my description.That was not only a breach of eBay listing policy (using another member's text or images) it was a breach of copyright too. So, I left negative feedback for him and reported him to VeRO. He quickly ended the auction and promised not to do it again.A few weeks went by and I was doing my usual keyword search on eBay, searching for auctions which were breaching my copyright or using my text or images, when I came across the same listing again under a different account.I did a postcode search and requested the eBayer's contact details from VeRO, only to find out it was the same gentleman who had listed my item a few weeks earlier.I am happy to say that this eBayer is no longer a registered user and I am now in the process of taking legal action against him. By relating this story, I am trying to prove my point that people will do anything for a quick buck, and I recommend that you do all you can to protect your work.(By the way, if anyone is tempted to do the same, you should know that in these cases I always request contact information from eBay and I always take legal action against offenders).Copyrighting an eBook is not as difficult as you might think. In fact, it's pretty darn easy. The UK Copyright Service provides copyright registration. It currently costs ?35 to copyright your original work for five years or ?60 for 10 years. Simply fill in the online form, enter your payment details, upload your work using the upload information page, and then your work is instantly protected. A couple of days later the registrar will write to you to confirm your copyright registration and you will receive your copyright certificates 4 - 7 days later.The UK loses a fortune every year to intellectual property theft. Don't let some scumbag, who can't be bothered to write his or her own eBook, steal your work - copyright your digital item.To copyright an eBook you have written, copy and paste the URL below. This service is available worldwide.http://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/
Once you've written your eBook, you need to decide on a reasonable price to charge your customers.Because the overheads of selling your digital items can be very low, often amounting to little more than the website hosting charge, you can experiment by setting different prices until you find the one that works the best.I would recommend charging the price that you feel your eBook is worth. If you have put months of hard work into researching and compiling your eBook, and it offers your readers a genuine opportunity to enrich their lives or make extra money, you could charge ten, twenty, thirty or even forty pounds.Once you consider this, you can begin to think about how much money you could make from a good eBook. Promote your website and get others to promote your eBooks through ClickBank and you could easily earn hundreds of pounds or dollars just from selling a few eBooks a day!Selling eBooks can be a fantastic way to make a living and can be one of most lucrative parts of the easy-cash system.Sure, it might take a little work, but it could give you a damn good income, depending on how serious you are about promoting your digital items. You will get the chance to do something creative and you can copyright, sell and earn money from your creation for many years to come.So what are you waiting for?
