Creating an eBook….

In Today’s business tip newsletter from 1 Call.biz - Creating an eBook

eBooks are quite simply one of the best online business ideas that exist today.  You can create an eBook for nothing more than a small amount of your time, and then (if it’s any good) sell it for close to 100% profit!

So, you’re all ready to start writing your new eBook.  But what’s it going to be about?  Well, you’ll be glad to know that there’s a simple process you can follow, which will ensure that you’re spending your time in producing an eBook that will actually sell.  And here’s the process:

1. Decide what your eBook should be about

The key to a successful eBook is to find a problem, give away the solution, and then sell people the next step(s).  Put another way, the eBook is not about you!  It’s about finding a real problem that people are dealing with, and then selling them a new way to solve it.

2. Generate ideas

There are several ways to come up with an idea for a great eBook.  Here’s a selection:

* Improving on an existing product topic that’s already in demand

You can get free tips on improvements by taking the existing products to a specialist audience, who will often be delighted to help you with suggestions on how to improve it.

* Look for ideas through your own personal experience

What problems do you have  or face that might be addressed via an eBook?  You may find that there are many people grappling with the same problem.

* Share your existing business expertise with others

You may feel that your work is boring, because it’s become so familiar to you.  Consider that, to other people, your expertise may be invaluable.  If you have particular expertise in a certain business, then perhaps you could share some insider knowledge.

* Make a business out of your hobbies

Do you have a hobby?  If so, is it popular?  Perhaps that could be the starting point of a great eBook.

3. Think carefully about why someone would want to download your eBook

There are three critical elements that must be present, in order for your eBook to be a winner:

a) There’s a real problem, and you have a solution;
b) There’s reasonably widespread awareness that there’s a problem, and people are looking for, or at least open to, a solution;
c) People are willing to invest money to make the problem go away.

4. Carry out your research

Using Google, use some key words to research the topic.  How big is the issue?  What are your competitors doing?  What are some of the other solutions already out there?  What are people looking for to solve the problem?

Here are some useful tools that will help you along the way:

Wordtracker – by far the best software for finding out what people are REALLY searching for on Google – http://httv.biz/wordtracker

Have a good week in business, and good luck with your next eBook!

All the best,
