Passive Online Income From EBooks - Build A Profitable Online Business With EBooks

Passive income is income you generate long after you have done the initial work. This is sometimes referred to as residual income, but the online community tends to not use that term. Instead of trading your time for an hourly wage, passive income allows you to create products that will sell for years to come. This process of working once and being paid over and over again is one that will make a huge difference in your life.

I believe the fastest and easiest way to get started is by writing an eBook on a topic you are interested in and have some knowledge and experience in as well. This can be in almost any niche, but you want to make sure people are willing to spend money in order to receive this information. Go over to Google and type in the topic you are thinking of writing an eBook on to see what is already available for sale. My rule of thumb is this - if there are at least three products for sale on this topic then the market is there and you should proceed. On the other hand, if yours would be only the first or second product available in this niche, it probably won't do as well.

Now it's time to make an outline so that you can get all of your ideas out of your head and onto paper or a word processing document. Spend as much time as you need to include everything you possibly can here. Put a check mark next to anything that you will need to do further research on later in this process.

Refine your outline so that you have several sections or chapters, and then start to fill in these sections with information that is relevant. I think of my eBook outline like I think of my house; I only put things in the kitchen or family that belong in those rooms. With your eBook chapters, only add the content that belongs to the chapter or section you are currently working on. This will keep you organized so that you will move quickly through the writing process.

The marketing begins while you are still writing, so start to build a list of people who will most likely be interested in purchasing a copy of your information.

Once your eBook is completed you can move into the next phase, which is to reach out to people who are influential in this niche to have them recommend your eBook through an affiliate link. This will build you list and your income quickly and show the marketplace that you are a credible expert in your field.

Remember that the reason to start an Internet business is to give you the time and financial freedom to live the life you choose. Get started writing eBooks today by visiting Getting Started With eBooks to learn what is needed to build a profitable online business with eBooks.

For Young and New Writers: Working With an Epublisher Can Be Profitable

Being a young or new author can be quite disheartening. You are trying to find your writing style/voice all the while looking for an agent to take you under their wing and on top of all that, getting a publisher to take a chance on you and publish your book.

And it's hard isn't it? Finding that agent and big or even small brick-n-mortar publishing company who will give you a chance?

Flat out rejection hurts, and repeated rejections can cause a young or new writer to doubt themselves so deeply, they won't believe they have it in them to put fingers to keyboard anymore. Also, rejection does no good when it is generic feedback and offers no clue as to improving your writing. And as we all well know, you can't please everybody.

Well new and young authors, have you ever considered epublishing as a way to get your books out there? I know, I know, there are some that will tell you that epublishing is not truly being published. I'm here to tell you that not only is it truly being published but it is the future and even some brick-n-mortar publishing companies are starting to lean toward it.

Epublishing is a way to go when you want to see your work for sell fast as well as professionally and has other benefits like:

Ebooks come in an array of genres and subgenres so you can find a niche, explore it, expand it, or change it on a whim.

You can sell internationally faster than if your book is somewhere sitting on a shelf in a building.

Also, since ebooks are downloaded instantly, if a reader liked what they read and wanted more titles from you, they can find you through a supplied link (included in your ebook) and download more of your work immediately. Instant sells can up your fanbase quickly.

It is cheaper to go with an epublisher than to go with a traditional publisher, or even self publish. None I have ever corresponded with charge a fee, they help with advertising and marketing, provide ecovers, allow you to retain more of your rights - for instance, an epublisher may only ask for the electronic rights for your book (includes: ebook, audiobooks, digital, cd's, etc.) but you keep the print rights - allowing you to have your hardcover and/or paperback book on the shelves at the same time your ebook is selling on the internet. Very profitable indeed.

So you see, epublishing, though still fairly new, is nothing to shake a stick at. It can be where you fit in. It can be what gets your name out there and known. Who knows, maybe it can help put you on the path of the New York Times Bestseller List.

Now take heart you young and new writers, you can be published, you may just have to rethink your view on what and how being published means to you.
