Make Money Writing E-books!
Alright I can understand how do you feel. Its okay though, you don’t need to have writing skills or native English. Anyone in the world can write e-books and make a profit selling them on different forums.
The main problem is what to write? You should think as a buyer yourself, what would you buy if you would have some spare dollars? Would you purchase a dating e-book or would you purchase a guide on how to make your site popular?
There are many people who write e-books and make a living from them. Basically it’s all about marketing if you ask me. Actually its 20 % content of your e-book and 80 % marketing skills. (Note that professional marketers can sell even air)
Each of us is good in one specific niche (If you don’t know where you are good at then it means you haven’t discovered yet your skills). By knowing valuable information and writing it down, you are going to help many desperate amateurs who are lurking around without hope.
Let’s get an example of an e-book I have written before a couple of months. It was about betting. Since I have been a professional gambler I thought I could help all the amateurs who were looking for tips on betting.
It took me less than 1 hour to completely finish it and add some payment proofs (This will increase your number of sales as you will seem like someone who knows what you talk about). I converted my .doc file on .pdf and I was ready to sell it. I opened a thread on Digital Point Forums and gave 2 review copies to reputable members and I sold like 15 copies (at $15 per piece) for a hefty total of $225. I know its not an enormous amount but for just an hour of work this is pretty good return.
CONCLUSION
Many of you know a lot of things about different webmaster stuff. Other guys are paying top dollars to learn new things so you could create a small e-book with some useful resources and sell the e-book for $7. Just make sure you market it well as that’s the crucial factor.
DISCLAIMER
On Digital Point Forums I see a lot of crappy e-books and they even get 2-3 sales. The idea of this article is to inform you that you can make money selling e-books IF you offer something which has value for the others. Perhaps a case study or something you have done before which would help the others. Please do not create crappy e-books for the sole purpose of getting some dollars. Also remember that if you create a good e-book and have many sales, it will help you and encourage you to write another e-book and you will have again customers as they will know your quality and professionalism
Thanks for your time

Nice article Olgi,
As you said, the ebook must have value to the others and this way it will generate sales.
Don’t make it look like the other crappy e-books on DP.
Cheers

I agree with you Olgi that Marketing skills is
the most important think to sell your ebooks.
If you do not know where and how to promote your
ebook you will not sell it.
Therefore, find out how you will promote your
ebook and for how much you will sell it if you
want to make money.

Great idea!
I am considering writing one but putting a price of $5 on it as then it can go in the “freebies” section, and give them the option of paying $5 for the ebook, or signing up for my mailing list and get it for free.
I think this would be a great way to build my email list.

Hi, Just found your blog surfing on the internet! I am too much interested in the information like you are providing. Why you do not write a new ebook and publish it by collecting more information on this topic. NO! Do not take me wrong! I am not a publisher. Ha! Ha! Ha! You have written in a detailed manner that’s why I am asking you about the ebooks. Have you ever thought of any type of ebook and in its business. It is a really hardwork to create a blog like yours and to maintain it. But you have done really a great job. Congrates! I have few questions. Do you think that blogs are better than ebooks for providing information and making money. I Just take the ebooks as products. I have never tried to write any ebook and to do any sort of business. If I say something about my website here, then you will consider this comment as a spam and NO One like that. But would like to say, that while selling FREE EBOOKS I have made such a huge amount, just in few days, that you will be amazed! If you visit my website (by clicking on my name in this comment) then you are bound to be surprised. I am sure this is a new technique of selling, I have found over the net. But lets talk about writing ebooks and providing unique information to the internet community, have you ever tried writing anything and publishing it? Do you also sell ebooks? What is your experience? I am interested in knowing about it or your experiments? Waiting for reply – Thanks, Regards
