Ebooks are big business | Work Life After Kids

Ebooks are big business on the internet?and the great news is that once you have created and set up your products, your customers can pay and download them completely independently.? This means ebooks really are the kind of income muse that could earn money while you sit on the beach!? Or in my case at the rugby Sevens in Hong Kong!? There is no shipping costs, storage requirements or follow up service to worry about.

Not a great author?? No problem.? If you have a great idea, you can employ some-one (like myself) to ?ghost write? your concept. Alternatively, you can look for ebooks with Master Resell Rights or ?white label? books.? Purchase them once, repackage or just promote them yourself and you can sell them multiple times for profit.

A note of caution?this area is competitive?before you spend money and time, think about your market and how you will bring your products to people?s attention.? Like any internet endeavor, you need web traffic to have any kind of success.? But if you can gain momentum and get traction, then this could be a lucrative option.? There are actually ebook authors making millions so it?s worth investigating?check out this article as a good start.

Ebooks REALLY Sell! How To Write Your Own
By Angelika Droulias

I?ve always aspired to be a traditional, published author. Yet here I am, supporting the opposition. Obviously I never got published, nor am I still pursuing to. I am no J.K Rowling, nor will I ever be; something I have finally come to terms with! But I now know a bigger and better secret to successful and -above all- PROFITABLE writing: eBooks!

The eBook market, in case you haven?t noticed, is currently thriving. EBook sales have grown rapidly since the first quarter of 2010, jumping from just 1.5% of total US book sales in 2009 to 5%! Today, the eBook market is challenging the traditional publishing market and the percentage rate of sales is rising. A large contribution to this is definitely made by the renown ?Reader? hardware (Kindle, Nook, i-Pad) that more and more consumers are finding hard to live without due to its accessibility, convenience and hi-tech performance.

Subsequently, online entrepreneurs, businesspeople, coaches and gurus are making a lot of income by enhancing the eBook option. Not only is this merely another traffic trick for their sites, but they get 100% profit out of it, since there is no publisher hovering over their product to collect the largest piece of the pie called ?commission?.

And it?s not just the business-minded who have seen through the eBook trick, but simple everyday people, like Jack who wanted to write a book about his hobby flyfishing, and Maria who came up with the eBook topic of home remedies to fight hay fever. And THESE are subjects that get massive searches on Google per month, which only verifies that you don?t have to be an expert to write an eBook.

So, if you?re proficient in writing, like myself, composing an eBook won?t be much of a problem for you. It will basically boil down to you finding the time to write it! But what about those of you who haven?t got a knack for writing, researching and perfectly balancing and performing amongst syntax, grammar and punctuation rules?

Non writers -and here?s the newsflash- can still make a heck of a lot of money WITHOUT WRITING! There are various methods for tapping into this.

Affiliate marketing, which is basically promoting someone else?s eBook, is a good start for most (not to mention the commission, which is usually more than 60%). Clickbank.com and Payloadz.com are two of the most prestigious eBook marketplaces which offer this kind of affiliate service.

Want to make and market your own product and see your name on the front cover? Hook up with a freelance writer who will do all the work for you. In this case, you would have to pay this person per word or page, but you can also offer a fixed rate. Most contractors don?t offer extreme rates for eBook writing, but even if they do, it?s no big deal if you think of how much income you?ll be making on autopilot once the book is complete. To find a person to write the eBook for you, just register to Craiglist.com or Odesk.com, and place your ad there. A lot of applicants will be lining up for the job from day one!

The last way to write an eBook is just resorting to plain and simple research. For instance, if your book is going to be about buying stocks online, then you?ll have to research the various methods, sites and even your own secrets to buying stocks. You?ll have to elaborate on how the stock market works, the ups and downs, the tricks and traps. But the length of your eBook is entirely up to you. The shorter the content, the easier it will be for the reader to get your point and follow your advice. Remember, this is an eBook, a book read in electronic format, so lengthy eBooks do tend to be less popular.

So what do you do once the book is written? Downloading software to create a cover for your book along with pdf creators (like Adobe Acrobat) is a great solution for anyone desiring simple, template-based graphic design.

For a more professional looking eBook, you?ll have to find a graphic designer, which can be quite pricey but often well worth it. Lulu.com can offer several publishing packages for your eBook inside-out, but you can also find cheaper eBook production services like EbooksEazy.com.

See? Not as difficult as you may have initially thought, right?
