How To Create An eBook Part I

It's true what they say... Everyone can write an Ebook, or information product, and distribute, sell, or give it away, on the Web. Ordinary people, like you and me, do it with success, and some folks (Jimmy D. Brown, Ken Evoy -to name a few) are selling thousands of copies every month.

It doesn't take a lot to start, because Ebooks are easy to distribute, and you have almost no costs to cover.. All you need is a PC, a simple word processor like MS Word, a program to compile your Ebook, some space on a web server and a way to accept credit card payments, like Paypal. Don't worry about all this right now, you'll learn about that soon

Once your Ebook is finished, you can make it available for download and promote it to the world via the Internet. You can also let other people help you promote and sell your Ebook, by setting up an affiliate -or reseller- program, and I'll tell you how to do this later in the course. Now, before you say: "I can't write an Ebook, because I never took a writing class, and I have nothing to write about", listen here... ANYONE with a passion about a subject that he -or she- likes can write. Think of your hobbies. Think about what people ask you advice for. What do you do for fun? What are you reading a lot about? What special skills do you have? You see, writing isn't rocket science... Just be persistent and determined and you will succeed. If you know a lot about dogs, gardening, scuba diving, or whatever you care about, you have KNOWLEDGE! And knowledge is all it takes to write!

Your own Ebook can create a stream of "passive income". Passive income means that "you get paid" over and over again for something you did one time! That's why people get so excited about writing their own Ebooks... you write it once and get paid over and over everytime someone buys your book!  Yes indeed, but it works.

Ideas for an Ebook can be found everywhere, and the Internet has made it even more easy to come up with the subject for an original Ebook. You can use newsgroups, forums and discussion lists to find out what people need, and then fill in that market. If you do some research online, type in the keywords of your Ebook in the search engines, you'll get dozens of ideas and tips that you can use to write a whole chapter in no time. So stop being afraid and get started on the keyboard :-) - About the creative process of writing. Really, you don't have to go for the Pulitzer Prize, if you start writing. On the contrary... You should always try to write like you speak to a good friend. Be clear, and to the point when you make a statement. Remember, it's not about HOW you write, it's about WHAT you have to say.
