We’ve been writing and publishing our own non-fiction ebooks for nearly a decade now, and for the last 5-years have worked with many others to help them do the same through the highly effective InfoProduct Success Package, and there are many, many ebooks on Clickbank alone that have brought in over $1Million for their writers – so yes, writing ebooks has been a very powerful, profitable and financially successful business model for years.
But now we are seeing that take on an entirely new life.
We just arrived back from a 10-day beach vacation with my family and I couldn’t help notice an ebook reader in nearly every second person’s hands – and that went for all ages from 9 through 80 year old’s. On the plane, in the malls, on the beach, by the pool – they were everywhere and the word-of-mouth buzz was incredible around these devices.
What were people reading?
You name it — fiction, non-fiction, mysteries, travel guides, personal development ebooks, business ebooks, how-to (informational) ebooks – the range was incredible.
Here are some other facts that show now is the right time to write your own ebook:
- Forrester Research has the ebook market at $966 Million in sales in the US in 2010, up from just $300 Million in 2009
- Harper Collins and Random House publishing houses are claiming a 500% and 400% (respectively) jump in ebook sales
- There are more stories emerging daily about self-published authors selling hundreds of thousands of books on platforms such as Amazon’s Kindle, Apples iBooks, as well as other online ebook stores.
- All of this ignores completely the Millions and Millions of ebooks selling on affiliate networks and ebook directories such as Clickbank and Commission Junction as well as the massive number being sold directly from individual websites
The last ebook we helped a client publish with Smashwords (a common company that provides publishing a digital MS Word or PDF file into multiple ebook standard formats for upload to the different ebook retailing directories) had nearly 1000 ebooks waiting to be processed…
Even more interesting in all of this is the fact that people are consuming (like crazy), well targeted, how-to guides on everything from overcoming health challenges (from worts to tinnitus), through helping them get a date to how to overcome personal challenges like anxiety, stress or fear of public speaking.Â
These guides are often in the 40-70 page range and can easily be written, packaged,published and marketed for big profits within 30-45 days opening up lucrative new, independent careers for many in this age of electronic publishing.Â
So what are you waiting for?
Get started with your own e-book or information product using the blueprint we have successfully used for a decade (updated twice each year) over at InfoProduct Creator’s Success System.Â
Within a month, you could be selling your own high-profit guide on Amazon, Barnes & Nobel, Clickbank and hundreds of other online directories making sales while you sleep.
