Digital publishing (eBooks) is a very practical and quick way to earn money, as long as you work diligently to produce high-quality content that meets the real needs of your users.
Writing and publishing eBooks is a great way to make money from your writing because you can write them on your computer and publish them digitally. This frees you up to continue writing more eBooks.
You can also make money online by selling other people's ebooks
There are many ways to make money online, whether you have your own books to sell or not.
But without your own ebooks, you don't have complete control over what you're doing.
I've been an affiliate marketer for years and I find it an easy and enjoyable way to earn money.
But since I'm selling ebooks that aren't mine, I have no control over them.
I once, I was promoting an affiliate product that was an e-book course on how to be persuasive.
I was happily promoting to writers who lacked confidence and telling them how this product could help them write more persuasive sales pages so they could sell more books.
Everything had been going well with this course for a few years and I was making regular sales.
Then one day, while checking the links on my website, I discovered that the links to this product were broken.
I checked, and guess what? The product had been withdrawn from the market and was no longer available.
I didn't know how long it had been and I couldn't understand why, because he was a consistent seller. But now he's gone and there was nothing I could do except remove all material about him from my website.
That's why it's better to have your own e-books to sell.
See some tips:
Write your own eBooks.
E- books are great because they only need to be written once and can be sold indefinitely. And the entire sales process can be automated so customers buy and download your e-books without you having to do anything – and you earn money from each sale automatically too.
Even if you've never written an e-book before, it's still possible to write your own.
Where to get ideas for writing high-quality and relevant eBooks
You can write a book about any subject that interests readers. You can even write a book about what you do online.
If you want more ideas, you can browse your local library, magazines, blogs, or you can browse (on Amazon) for books similar to what you want to write about to get more ideas to include in yours.
Reader reviews are a great source of information about what readers liked and (more importantly) what they didn't like about the book. It's surprising how many ideas you can get when you start browsing books online.
Some authors use their own websites as inspiration, rewriting all of their online content and expanding their articles into e-book chapters.
Other e-book authors do the opposite. They write their e-book and reduce each chapter to an article to place on their website to help promote it.
Selling your e-book
After your e-book is written and published, you will need to dedicate some time to marketing it.
It's best to have a marketing plan before you write your book, because it saves time and you can also pre-market it so people are eager to buy it as soon as it's available.
And your ebooks don't need to be huge. Some authors make money writing just 20 to 30 pages and selling them as ebooks at a very affordable price for customers.
And what they discover is that as long as the book is full of inspiring and useful information, or they write a fascinating piece of fiction, readers love their ebooks, so they keep buying more.
And if you can't write a book on your own, you can always outline your chapters and hire a freelance writer to write it for you.
But whichever way you choose to do it, having your own eBooks to sell is a win-win situation.
You win because you earn money automatically, and your customers win because they buy a great e-book and have instant access to it.
