eBooks

An eBook is a book that is written and formatted just like a normal book — but it's not printed or bound in a hard copy.  Instead, what you sell is an electronic version that is delivered via e-mail, or that is downloaded directly to the purchaser's computer or Palm Pilot straight from the Internet. The purchaser has the option of printing a few pages or the whole thing, if they like — but they don't have to print any of it if they don't want to.  Research has shown, however, that most people who purchase e-books print at least a portion of the pages.

The main thing is that any book is much more about the words and ideas it contains, its message — and much less about the format in which it is delivered.  Make no mistake —  people will never give up physical books.  Almost anyone reading fiction is always going to want to curl up on the sofa with their book...  But, eBooks are incredibly useful tools for people selling nonfiction, specifically "how-to" books.  Writing an eBook is a great way to get visibility for yourself and your business while simultaneously creating credibility as an expert and a stream of passive income. And who couldn't use more passive income?

The one caveat, if you want people other than your mother to read your eBook, is that you MUST have a Web site — and you must be willing to invest the money or the time in Search Engine Optimization so that people can find your eBook and purchase it from you.

Why is an eBook easier to produce than a bound book?

Because there is no printing, binding, or physical distribution, there are fewer hard costs involved in the production of an eBook. However, just as with a physical, bound book, you will need a Web site equipped with eCommerce and a marketing campaign.

The fact that there is no hard copy also does not mean you can throw caution out the window or ignore the need for a scintillating subject addressed to the ideal niche audience; an attractive, user friendly layout; or proper grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and the like. In short, you still must treat this project as if you were authoring a real book ― because you ARE authoring a real book!
