Writing an eBook - Turning Your Passion Into Profit
By Carolyn Anderson
If your passion is writing, you can actually put that into something that is profitable
online - writing an eBook. Of course, an eBook is easier and more convenient to write and
sell, and you also have a wider audience when it comes to making it available to a lot of readers.
Indeed, writing an eBook is a good way to make money online. You don't have to spend
money for publishing and printing, and you will also spare yourself from the many costs of
publishing a real book and including the marketing as well.
If you are interested in turning your passion in writing into profits, you can start
writing an eBook and marketing it online as well. Here are some tips to help you start wisely.
• Choose a topic that is not just your expertise but something that
many people are interested in. Keep in mind that the internet is where people look for
information and answers to their questions and their problems, so you may want to start
choosing a topic with that. You can start with weight loss, infertility, dating, or many
other topics that people are interested.
• Research. This is another important thing that you have to do not
just only about your topic but you have to research your market as well. Study if there is
indeed demand of your topic. It is also important to research competition. Of course, if
there are a lot of eBooks written about such topic, you have to think again of your edge
among the rest. An overly saturated market for your eBook will make it difficult for you
to promote and sell your eBook, even if you do have high quality content, so take that
into consideration even before starting to write.
• Test your topic. You can write about the topic you are interested in
and check he response of people to it. This way, you can check whether there are more
people interested in the topic or not. Find out for some topics that are the buzz. Any
topic that is a buzz or controversial can indeed get a good audience online, so take
advantage of this as well.
• Write your eBook. If you have done all those necessary preparations,
you can now start writing an eBook, and make sure it is informative, of high quality, and
contains information that people would not normally find online. Of course, that would
make your eBook in demand because it has the information or answers that people could not
find elsewhere, so stick to that. Do not also forget to check the basics - grammar and
spelling should be carefully checked before offering your work for sale online.
• Marketing and selling. What is good about electronic books is that,
you don't have to go into the process of printing and publishing and you can readily sell
a copy online any time. However, marketing your book is also one of the biggest challenge
in making profits out of your work, so make sure you learn a few good things on how to
market and sell your book.
