How To Write Ebooks

Laurie Said:

How does someone go about publishing and selling ebooks?

We Answered:

This is a very long process.
1.First you have to write and finish the book and get it professionally edited.
2. Then you should come up with a name to have the book published under even if you don't want to have a company or find a publisher.
3. Then you need to copyright it at www.copyright.gov
4. Then you can submit your work in your word processor format to amazon.com. They can turn it into the format that people can download. You can set your price at around 7-10 dollars (see what like things cost).
5. Don't forget to market, tell people you wrote the book and maybe you can have a website on it.

This is the run down, just make sure you get it professionally edited and this of course will cost money up front. Copyright, editing, amazon selling fees etc.

Good luck

How to write ebooks. Any particular syntax? Which file format..exe, doc?

We Answered:

The ebook publishers who pay their authors all have their submission guidelines posted at their websites. I submit mine in plain old Word 2003, which seems to work for the publisher just fine.

Syntax? Just regular well-written English.

How can I make money online?

We Answered:

I understand your feelings with MLM. Building your own personal business around your own interests is a far greater option if you research the necessary steps to succeed. Writing e-books and blogging are both good ideas. However, successful e-book writers and high earning bloggers are skilled and often working as a team. They all started learning with no experience at one point too. The web host that I use has very good and informational web pages on the topics of your interest.

SiteSell also has many other online business ideas that you can create around your personal interests.

Building your own business can help you to avoid all the scams. However, it is needless to say that building your own business takes a lot of commitment and hard work. I can't think of a better reward than that which comes from hard work.
I am a proud user of this host. You can see my online business built around my interests through my profile page here.

What Is the Best Way to Set a Price for an Ebook?

We Answered:

find out what other ebooks like yours are selling for and conclude an average
base your price around that average
take pieces fo your ebook and make them bonuses to add more value to justify your price if the product may not be up to parr.
