Write Your Own Ebook Fast
If you wrote your own ebook, would it sell?
How many of us have a deeply held desire to write a book, but are somewhat scared off by the time and rather daunting process involved in trying to get your book into the top 2% that actually get published?
Yes, it would be terrific to get picked up by a top publisher, handed a huge advance and asked to go away in 1-year and produce a book that ends up selling like crazy…but honestly, that sort of scenario is about as likely as winning the grand prize in a lottery.Â
Yet, rather quietly, hundreds of thousands of others live out there dream of writing a popular book, being able to quit their job by kicking off an entirely new and fulfilling career path where they are their own boss.Â
How did they do it?
By writing their own top selling, self-published book or ebook that sells like wildfire.Â
For sure, not every ebook or self-published book ends up a success story. In fact, many members of Information Marketer’sZone arrive after struggling with one or two books to figure out how to turn a past challenge into a successful selling ebook.Â
The key is to understand how to target hopes, dreams, and sometimes fears that your marketplace has tapping into a flood of irrational desire leading to a feeding frenzy over your newly launched ebook or book.
Ok, so you may be wondering, why will people within a very competitive marketplace be willing to hand you $27, $47 or more when there are already hundreds of books on that topic in the marketplace.Â
In other words, why would they buy an ebook that they find of yours online?
1. First, ebooks are incredibly easy and quick to produce which means your treatment of a topic can be much more timely and relevant than other books in the marketplace. When you write your own ebooks, you don’t need to work through agents, publishers, printing companies (unless you want to expand to a print edition that is), distributors, editors, and so on… A tpyical book will take a minimum of 8-months and often much longer to hit the market. One of the biggest advantages ebook writers have is to tap into red-hot market trends and dominate that market earning very substantial profits, selling thousands of ebooks where you get to keep between 75%-90% of the selling price.Â
2. E-Books are fast and easy to setup for selling and delivery online. You can update them quickly and easily; they do not require a second print run. All you need is to go into your original creation and modify the text or graphics. Because of this flexibility, E-Books can change as you get input from your market. An extremely powerful system we teach within InfoMarketer’sZone is the concept of “iterative ebook writing” which simply means that your market helps you expand and make your ebook better leading to more sales, more products, and more profits.Â
3. E-Books are quick and easy for your market to get. When a potential customer wants to find the best way to train their dog, chances are that they jump online and research that market first. If you market properly, yours will be one of the top sites they see and if you do a good job of capturing their attention with your headline and book title, they will favor buying your ebook where they can begin reading it within minutes than doing further research and either heading to the bookstore or ordering from an online bookstore where it will take a week or more to get their purchase. All you have to do is download it from a website, and viola! It’s on your computer or ebook reader ready to use.Â
4. E-Books can be interactive. This is one of the most unique and specific qualities that E-Books offer. You can add surveys that need to be filled out, order forms for customers to purchase your products or goods, sound and video that draw your reader into the virtual world of your E-Book, even direct links to relevant sites that will expand your E-Book outward. In fact, a great way to enhance the price and value of an ebook is to mix in some of these interactive or multimedia aspects allowing you to market your ebook as a “training system”, “workshop” or “course” where you can move from a $27 price point into a $97 or even $197 price point – some of the highest paid Information Publishers use these systems to become high six and even seven-figure authors online.Â
5. E-books have a low barrier of entry. What I mean by this is that you can research, write, package and sell your ebook online for very little cost. In fact, you could be earning money with your own ebook for under $100, with a little extra investment (less than $500) you can enhance the presentation and marketing of your ebook and still see a payback to profitability within 1-2 months of ebook sales. Go the traditional publishing route and you could discover that you end up spending thousands of dollars in both book publishing and marketing costs…huge advances for authors are extremely rare.
6. With your own e-book you can package your information as a “system” to stand out from the crowd. Boooks, by and large, present their readers with a broad range of very general information which is ok, but has a limited cap on their selling price. Traditional books are capped at about $47 while most fall into the $27-$37 range and the author only keeps between 5-8% of that selling price, but by packaging your own “system” that targets your niche market you can easily ask double that asking price and get to keep 3/4 of the selling price for profit.Â
