Think it’s a waste of time finding out how to write eBooks that sell?
Well judging from the numbers of bloggers who want to know how to write eBooks that sell, I would say it’s a lucrative way to earn a decent income.
In fact, as more and more bloggers are finding that the revenue from their blogs is so underwhelming that they are being forced to seek out more lucrative income streams like writing and selling eBooks for profit.
Writing an eBook or any other information product is really an online marketing task which will suit any blogger perfectly.
When you think of it, writing an eBook that will make real money requires the following elements to be addressed effectively;
- Choosing a topic
- Positioning it
- Employing a specific copy writing strategy
- Your target markets
- Filling a need or solving a problem
Carefully considering all of the above will determine, amongst other things, whether there is a demand for it & if so, whether it’ll be good enough for people to be persuaded to shell out their hard-earned dollars for.
Another consideration is to decide on what format your eBook should take.
The usual PDF format seems a bit cheap, but maybe that’s all that’s required for your book.
I’m pretty sure however, that you will need to be able to upload it on Amazon’s Kindle so that it’s on the world’s largest eBook marketplace.
Ensure your eBook becomes a “must read” by learning how to become a copywriter.
How to Write An eBook and Make Money
The following elements need to be present in order to create an eBook that sells
- A profitable topic & target market or niche needs to be clearly identified
- The viability of developing the eBook needs to be researched or you could be wasting a great deal of time & effort creating an eBook that does not sell
- The burning issues of your market need to be discovered so that you can address & solve them in your eBook
- Know how to write an eBook quickly and effortlessly whilst understanding how the problem is presented in your market’s view & providing real solutions thereto.
- Have access to free editing services
- Your eBook needs to be published in the most effective format for your online market
- It must be able to stand out from the rest (in its niche) to become a best seller on Amazon
Are eBooks Still a Viable Option?
Whilst eBooks still have a massive demand & certain advantages over buying a book in a bookstore, real books remain strong competitors to the eBook format.
Although the convenience factor of buying eBooks online is so quick & easy, as well as cheaper in most cases, the physical article from the book shop still has strong appeal to many people.
Notwithstanding the above, there is undoubtedly a massive online eBook market that is just itching to buy your creation.
This is borne out by online marketers who make indecent amounts of money from selling eBooks on all kinds of topics from self help to healthy recipes.
Plus, for any topic where there is already a “real” book available, you’re most likely going to lose the sale, instantly downloadable or not. People trust Amazon, and whether fair or not, they consider “real” authors to be those who are delivered in ink on dead tree material.
So if your goal is to write a 200-page book, you might just go ahead and try to get a publisher, or even have your work self-published. People who read books tend to love books themselves, so it makes sense to give book lovers what they want… a real book.
eBooks That Sell Solve Real Problems
It may sound obvious, but there are so many lengthy eBooks online that aren’t raking in the cash simply because they don’t provide real problem solving information that their headline topic promises.
For instance acne sufferers would probably have their interest piqued by an eBook title stating “5 Guaranteed Ways To Cure Your Acne In 7 Days”.
But if the book is full of fluff & old regurgitated information that does not really work, the book will get poor reviews and end up being a total failure.
However, if you had to create & publish an eBook on the same topic with the same title but provide new, tried & tested ways to get rid of acne with references to clinical trials showing your solution really works, you could probably have a winner.
In other words, it should be provide a real, life changing solution to your target market’s need.
More eBook misconceptions…
- eBook creators often confuse the size of the book, ie the number of pages, with quality.
- This is simply not true as you can generate really decent profits from a small eBook or document that is only 10 pages long provided it is filled with quality content that its target market is crying out for.
- Another misconception is that the content does not necessarily have to be original. The most important thing is that it must get to the crux of the reader’s problem & be able to provide an effective solution to it.
- All you need to do is provide information in a well presented eBook that people will trust even if the same information can be found for free by searching for it online. People often think it’s more worthy if they have to pay as they are often sceptical of free material.
- If you haven’t established your reputation & credibility as a writer yet, you could always partner with someone who has until you can sell your work on your own credentials.
- Lastly writing about your passion isn’t going to work if your passion is all about “the mating habits of the north sea clam” as you won’t have anyone interested in buying it. So ensure that the eBook you write solves a real problem that people would pay for in order to create an eBook that sells like crazy.
