Nowadays writing a ebook is easier than cutting cheese; I didn’t say writing a “good” ebook, just a ebook in general. Well of course an eBook is easy to write and publish. Why? Because you can use pdf creation programs like Adobe Acrobat or even Microsoft Word. It is becoming easier and easier to write and publish (distribute) eBooks.
From applications on your iPhone to the Amazon Kindle, a variety of devices are now holding market share for the reading of eBooks or as I like the call them “DigiBooks”. So if you would like to create about Windows 7 or how social media has changed the world, then you can write it and publish it easy. But there are still a few steps that you to take properly and carefully to raise the chances of your eBook being a hit and to distribute it properly.
1. To begin, you first need a pdf creation application, because the standard and widely used format for eBooks is .pdf
2. Get a blank piece of paper, or your favorite simple text editor and sketch out the ideas that you want to convey in your book. Be sure to also state what kind of book you are looking to write. (novel-informational)
3. Write your book!
4. After the completion of your book, think about what service you are going to use to publish it or even sell it on your own. Here are some ideas and methods for both.
- When publishing by yourself it can be much simpler and you will be able to have oversight of your funds, and have complete control. You can use a PayPal download script and receive funds through PayPal.
- When using other services be sure to “fully” understand the guidelines and rules of the service provider. A personal favorite of mine is eJunkie
Now you should be on the right track for writing and distributing your eBook, if have any questions regarding this topic you can ask me on Twitter @tommyfishback or email me – blog@tommyf.com
