Why write an ebook? Work at home selling information online: Introduction and Benefits
To have a home business that is profitable and much more likely to succeed, you need a product that costs little or nothing to produce and nothing to provide customers.
The internet has created a whole new world of business opportunities. The internet gives us new opportunities and the chance for financial freedom. There is a new type of product that can help you establish a profitable home business-the info product.
There are many benefits to selling your own ebook:
~ There is little or no cost to produce it
~ You only need to produce it once
~ There is nothing to stock and restock
~ There is no shipping involved, you just send it electronically
~ Delivery is fast
~ You can make your ebook as simple as you want or as flashy as you want
~ There is no risk involved
~ Info products are the best selling product on the internet!
~ There are no inconveniences such as having to submit your manuscript to a publishing house in the hopes that they'll consider it or having a literary agent promote your book idea for a commission
~ You can do a lot with your ebook, aside from building a profitable business from home selling them, you can also offer it as a bonus, a gift, a prize or incentive to subscribe to your newsletter or ezine, or event to take your survey, whatever your heart desires.
~ You can sell reprint rights to your ebook. Reprint rights, especially master rights (being able to offer resell rights) are worth a lot, but you can set the price to what you wish, although, I wouldn't set the price at a million, haha.
~ You could even sell advertising space in your ebook, more revenue!
~ You can promote another product or service of yours or a product of an affiliate program in your ebook. Neil Shearing HIGHLY recommends Ken Evoy's SiteBuildIt! for example, and for good reason, from what I've read, it sounds like the best software ever invented!
~ You could generate additional revenue by combining your ebook with the product or service of a strategic alliance.
~ Last but not least, you can have your own affiliate program with eventually thousands of people promoting your ebook!
This is without a doubt one of the best businesses you can have.
When writing your ebook, just let it flow. Do research and gather useful information and include references such as footnotes, a bibliography, or links page. You may want to have an editor go over your ebook and edit it. If necessary, you may want to offer him/her free exposure via an acknowledgment in your ebook.
Also, it may not be as hard to write an ebook as some may think. Neil Shearing, founder of ScamFreeZone, is the best authority I know of on selling information online. He shares his expertise in the Internet Success Blueprint. In my honest opinion, anyone interested in selling their own ebook should absorb all the valuable information Neil has on the subject, click here to see my review.
If you decide to go for it, I wish you the best of luck! The right information can help you a ton, but origional ideas and your determination will help you a lot as well.
