How to Write Your First Ebook
July 22, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Writing your first ebook may seem like a daunting task. But like many projects, it won’t seem so bad when it’s broken down into manageable chunks. Not all projects are successful, so don’t be too disappointed if your first ebook isn’t a best seller. Whatever the outcome of your first ebook, you can at least say ‘You did it’.
Like many things in life, what often seems impossible can be attained with the right attitude and the right equipment. It could be a marathon run, climbing a mountain or finding parking space at the supermarket.
If you want to play golf, you will need clubs, balls and some practice. There’s no guarantee you will become another Tiger Woods but you will become a golfer.
If you want to write an ebook, you will need a computer, software and some directions. Assuming you have a computer and software or access to them, here are some directions.
Establish Your Reasons
Your reasons for wanting to write an ebook will have a major impact on your success. It may be for financial gain, promoting a business, advancing your career, education, self satisfaction or something entirely different. Whatever your reasons, write them down. It will help to motivate you if the going gets tough.
Choose Your Subject
There are countless subjects that you can write about. It’s wise to choose something you have an interest in or knowledge of. It is worthwhile spending time on this. The more you know about your subject, the easier it will be to write about.
Choose Your Title
After you’ve chosen your subject, you’ll need a title for the ebook. It’s worth writing down a few different ones before deciding on the one you’ll use. This will help to keep your focus and may give you some other ideas. The title should give a clear indication of the content in your book. A catchy title may help to sell it, but remember to balance this with clarity to keep it in context. I’ve written down two examples. Feel free to use them if you have a sense of humor.
A Clubbers Paradise – Golfing in Ibiza
20 Minutes Late – The Future of Trains
Choose Your Audience
The subject and style of your writing will determine your audience. Decide who your desired audience will be. Age, gender, culture, social background and education are factors you may want to consider. What you write should be targeted at your desired audience.
Write Your Thesis Statement
Although it’s possible to write your ebook without a ‘thesis statement’, it is not recommended. If you are unfamiliar with this term, there are many sources available that will provide you with all the details you need. Unfortunately, there are some differences of opinion that may lead to confusion.
The ‘thesis statement’ deserves a separate article of its own but for now I have written a general definition of a thesis statement for ebooks. This may leave the door open for criticism but is a small price to pay if it removes some of the confusion. More importantly, it will give you a base on which to start. Only use it as a guideline. If you want a more specific definition, Google is a good place to start your search.
A thesis statement is a sentence or two written to clearly show the reason(s) for your ebook and what you expect to write about.
Although I have referred to this as a general definition, keep in mind that your actual statement should be as specific as possible.
Think of it as the foundation for your ebook. It should contain the following:
1) Your subject
2) Your opinion on the subject
3) A supporting reason for your opinion
4) The significance of 1), 2) and 3)
Create Your Document
Now that you have the foundation, you can begin writing.
A standard application like MS Word is a good choice.
While you are writing your document you can revise your thesis statement at any time up until it is published. This provides a good degree of flexibility.
Choose the format and layout of your document, including chapters, headings and introductions. Dependent on your subject, you may wish to add photographs, anecdotes or testimonials that keep the reader’s attention.
Since an ebook is generally read from a screen, you may want to break up the text more than in a printed book. Experiment with a few different fonts and look at other ebooks for ideas you can use. Spell check and save your document regularly. MS Word has an auto recovery feature. This is useful if you don’t save the document on a regular basis and later experience a system crash. Always backup your document. As a precaution you should also keep a copy on another media such as CD.
Choose Your Ebook Format
This is a personal choice. You may decide to create an executable (.exe) file or a Portable Document Format (.pdf) file. By no means an exhaustive list, here are some points to consider before you choose.
EXE files are compiled using an ebook compiler
EXE files may offer features that are not available with PDFs
EXE files can only be read on a PC
EXE files don’t require any other software to be read
EXE files are easy to open, easily branded, and good viral marketing tools
EXE files may be susceptible to viruses although some compilers offer virus protection
More information on the better compilers can be found at
http://www.ebook-site.com/ebook-compilers.html
PDF files can be created using Adobe Acrobat
PDF files can be created with several other 3rd party applications
PDF files are an industry standard
PDF files can be read by both PC and MAC
PDF files require Adobe Reader to be read
PDF files are highly unlikely to become infected
More information on PDFs can be found on the Adobe website

Create your ebook in your chosen format.
Congratulations you are now an author.

Every Internet marketer knows that one of the most profitable things to sell on line is information. This is often done by writing ebooks. Of course, then you run into a problem about writing, publishing and marketing them so they can start earning you income. No longer, with the Free Viral Branded Ebook Explosion program.
This program, Viral Branded Ebook Explosion, is one of the best lazy ways to get into affiliate marketing online. The easiest and quickest way into this is viral marketing.
The trick to viral marketing is to help other people in their attempts, and with this marketing campaign you get free ebooks, videos and software to aid you, which is always a good thing to help supplement your own income and help other affiliates beneath or alongside you.
The commonly thought method of a good marketing program is to make a short e-book filled with some useful information as well as your own affiliate links, give said ebook away and let others do the same. According to the common thought, that’s all there is.
If you happen to be good at writing and a great marketer online, this would be easy, but that’s a very big if. This is where the Free Viral Ebook Explosion comes in.
Basically, it helps you to find a place where you can get pre-written material and the tools you need to promote them. Hence, Viral Ebook Explosion – it’ll help you to build an affiliate network, mailing list and thereby a steady residual income.
So what do you get in the members area of this program once you join up?
For starters, you get a package of already-written ebooks by professionals. You can place your own affiliate links in them where they need to go – pick a single one of the books, then simply put your link there and you’re basically done without having to worry about writing the entire ebook yourself – which could take months to do all the research and organizing.
You also get free software to give the same treatment by placing your links on it. You give this software with your ebooks and watch the sales come in.
In addition, you get webpage options – specifically downloads and option pages that make it easier to sell products. As with everything else you can place links here – the pages are easy to make, you just start with a template, put the required information in and put the page up on the Web.
For more advanced pages you can create interview pages that you can offer to give the buyer a bit of extra information. There are interview templates – pick one from the list you’re given, put your affiliate link where it should go and your webpage is ready.
You finally get a lot of instruction and promotional tools – Internet marketing is very competitive, so you need advice from those who are already successful.
With all these bonuses and benefits, the Free Viral Ebook Explosion program is well worth the fee that you pay to enter.

Free Forex System Ebooks
July 16, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Forex is a popular way of making money by purchasing and selling different currencies. Unlike a stock market, where we have access to the same prices, the forex market has different levels.
Currencies are purchased and sold across local and global markets, an investments’ value increases or decreases based on currency movements. Market conditions can change at any given time according to real world events.
I have been doing some research recently looking for a way of making money without having to be much of an expert. The forex market is an incredible way of profiting and having a full time income easily. The only problem is that its not really that easy unless you can find a good trading system that has many resources available.
Thats when I stumbled across a site with a trading system that I truly have confidence in. Its called Forex Aim, and I am extremely happy with the vast information I was able to obtain from their free e-books. One of the things I love about the e-books are how true they are. There is always a risk in forex, and anybody trying to sell you a system that gives a 100% guarantee is lying. Forex Aim explains that and has many more tips. You can subscribe on their website and get the free download via email.
I have to say that if you guys want to get started with an investment, the forex market is an interesting and rewarding way to do so. Do your research well and look for a reliable system that offers help. Thanks for reading.

How Free eBooks Can Build Your Business
July 10, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
If you have visited the sales pages and websites of the most successful online marketers, you make have noticed a developing trend of free e-book downloads and other materials being given away to visitors on the website. It might seem as if these marketers are committing career suicide by handing their visitors the secrets of their success for free, but in reality this is actually a very clever and successful marketing tactic that will help you to build your business and increase your success.
Marketers have a lot to gain by offering these e-books to those who simply land on their pages. Others choose to offer their eBooks to those who make purchases. Both techniques can be very lucrative to those who employ these tactics. The benefits for them include:
* Establishes themselves as a knowledgeable and respected expert within their field. If they offer a book that has solid, well-written information, they stand to enhance their reputation. People will read the information and decide if this is a person they can respect as an expert in the field.
* The opportunity to build an opt-in contact list from the email addresses of those who down load their book. When people download the book, they must provide their email address and are given the option of opting out of a newsletter or other contact list, rather than asking them to opt-in.
* Many people will purchase a product or program that includes an eBook as a purchase incentive, as well. People love bonuses, no matter what they are. By appealing to people’s desire to get something great for nothing, you can garner customers and build your business even more.
Remember when you are writing these free e-books to leave out just enough of the puzzle that people need to purchase your products to put it all together. This will is the key that will allow you to grow your business through these marketing tactics and make the most out of each free download. It brings new meaning to the phrase “the best things in life are free,” especially when you are the one providing the freebie.
The correct use of free e-books is only the tip of a giant, moneymaking iceberg!

One thing that I liked about this course was that the author puts a lot of focus into free marketing techniques. In terms of bang for the buck, this is an exceptional deal. For $27, I am not sure there is a better investment one could make. As much as I liked The Rich Jerk e-Book, Holly’s is step above and costs less.
