With the increased popularity of reading books and other publications on mobile devices, it makes sense to offer your readers an ePUB version of your eBook.
But the downside to this option is that readers will need to download a dedicated app to read ePUB files. On the other hand, reading a PDF on a smartphone can be cumbersome, since this option requires the reader to zoom in and scroll to read each line of text. For my eBook, I decided to forgo the ePUB version, and instead created two PDF files: one formatted to read on a large screen and another to read on small screens. The main differences between the two PDFs are the size of the text and the margins.
Both are significantly larger for the mobile version. This way, my readers only need to zoom in once, and then read the content without scrolling from side to side. When you format your eBook, think about whether your target audience is most likely to read it on a large or small screen. Then decide how to proceed from there. You can start selling your eBook immediately after hitting publish. Here are some things you will need to determine before you do this:.
You have two options to choose between to make money selling eBooks: self-publishing or doing a private launch. Each self-publishing platform will have different requirements and restrictions. Research each one to determine which avenue is right for you, if you decide to self-publish.
If so, consider launching your book directly to your network, and skip the self-publishing platforms. You can make a lot of money with a private launch, and avoid jumping through the hoops that may exist with some self-publishers.
However you decide to start growing your audience, make sure that you are building an email list; you can use a tool like Convertkit to collect email addresses. Before you can launch your eBook privately, you will first need to join an eCommerce platform. This will help you collect payments and distribute your book on autopilot.
This is the first step toward making money on autopilot and earning passive income! Just pick a platform, upload your book, name your price, set up your payment getaway, and activate it so you can start sharing the link to your eBook and making sales!
Another benefit of using an eCommerce platform is that you will probably pay a set fee instead of a percentage of sales, which you would incur if you worked with a publisher. Plus, you will be paid directly. As you think about potentially writing an eBook, start considering both of these options — using a self-publisher or doing a private launch.
If you still have some lingering questions about this process, here are some frequently asked questions that might help. The short answer is, yes you can. This is a burning question many hopeful writers have. The key to writing an eBook quickly is to outline and batch write. Outlining helps you organize your thoughts and put together your book categories, sub sections, and chapters. Taking this step will help you write your book chapter by chapter, making the process much easier. Batching is a process in which you will do a lot of work in a short period of time, with few distractions.
Batch write by setting a timer for a period of time, like 30 minutes, for example. Then, distance yourself from all distractions like kids, pets, TV, music, etc. When the 30 minutes is up, take a short break. Then restart. This is a productivity hack that you can use for any type of work, whether it be professional or personal.
Do you want to build out a full guide? Or are you interested in more of a mini guide or cheat sheet? Many writers start by developing their outline and write from there, with no limitations imposed on themselves. As a point of reference, according to Book Cave , nonfiction books should be a minimum of 10, words, with fiction being 80,to, words on average. All you need to do is craft your publishing plan and put it into action.
A lot goes into creating your first eBook — more than just putting your thoughts into book form and selling it. You must decide whether to create and upload your ebook all on your own, or to pay an epublishing service or distributor to do it for you. You can pay more for value-added services, such as editing, cover design, and even print-on-demand paper books.
What your ebook is about all depends on your goals. If your motive is purely profit, there are methods of figuring out which topics are most likely to sell books. An anonymous author, who claims to be making tens of thousands of dollars a month publishing short ebooks about 20 pages , describes his process for choosing topics on The Hustle: "I find books that are selling well, check out their tables of contents, and look at the negative reviews to see what they missed.
It may be disheartening for a hardworking writer to hear, but this successful entrepreneur says that sales are driven mainly by the cover image and the book description: "[T]he book's content is the least important part of the process. If your motive is more to get a great idea or story out into the world, rather than just cranking out any title that will sell, you should still do your research before you sit down and start writing. If you have a blog, poll your readers on what topics they'd most like to see expanded upon in a book.
If your book is in a genre or niche, such as a cookbook, study the top-selling, well-reviewed ebooks in that niche and try to figure out what you could add that hasn't already been done well. Fiction authors can also benefit by looking at already published novels in their category, to figure out both how to avoid writing books that have been done to death — and to find out what types of novels are hot right now. Once upon a time, writers just turned in their manuscripts to publishers and left the advertising and promotion to the company.
But even authors with book contracts nowadays find themselves doing their own advertising and promotion. Before you publish your book, consider the investment of hiring a publicist to let media know about your upcoming release. If you're publicizing it yourself, write about your upcoming book on your blog, and ask other bloggers to write about it as well. You can also create a new blog just about the new book or about its topic, in order to drive traffic to your book.
Don't forget good old-fashioned advertising. More than half of those are traditionally-published authors. That's not to say you can't. One approach for ending up with more money in your pocket is to keep your investment low, so that even if sales are modest, you still keep some profit.
To save themselves from investing too much time, some ebook authors suggest keeping books short — since people are about as likely to pay for a page book or short story as they are for a full-length novel. Others minimize their time investment by outsourcing the cover art this guy gets all his covers designed on Fiverr or even the content.

How is life going for you? Many stumble into a life that is not the life that they want to live and resign themselves forever to a life of mediocrity. Have you even started? Many do not even bother making a determined effort to get clear on the type of life they want to live. There is an epidemic among the masses who are asleep, they have become fooled into getting in line with the sheep.
If you are going to work just to make money and pay your bills then you have become a slave to the system. If the life you are living is not one that you are proud of, have the courage to begin again. The system in place has a way in which it hypnotizes people into believing that it is ok to just go to work to pay your bills and spend your entire life chasing things that will not mean much in the end.
Begin again, let this day be day one of a new journey, the journey on the path of greatness, to a life of service, love, abundance, and prosperity.
Life should be lived in a way that we impact millions of people with our gifts and talents, each person has the potential within them to make the world a better place, should we not take it upon ourselves to help others if we are capable of doing so?
Move away from this selfish living of just thinking about your own needs, start living for humanity , for the people, for the ones who have no one inspire them and tell them that they too have greatness within them. It does not matter about the life that you lived yesterday, you can start over, you can impact millions of people, you can be the one you want to be, and you can live your dreams.
Have the courage to begin again if you find that you are not happy with the life that you are living. You have to start telling yourself a new story within your mind, one where you are the champion, the hero, the winner, one in which you are living a life of abundance in all areas of your life. Always have action at the forefront of your mind. Action is the key that turns your dreams into reality. Daily action on the right tasks will take you wherever you are determined to go.
Action is what makes all the difference between who you want to be and who you become. Your daily actions determine the life that you live. If you find that you are not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. Do share your thoughts, I would love to hear them, and share this article with others so that they too can Awaken and start living their dreams. Have a great day! The fake life enslaves many people to a life of misery, humans resemble the hamster going round and round on the wheel, doing the same things every single day hoping to make positive strides to a greater life, but are actually getting nowhere in relation to their dreams.
If that is the life that you have given in to then know that you will be betraying yourself to a life that is well below your true potential. It is a crime against yourself to settle for less than you deserve.
You have to define success on your own terms based on how you want to live your life. The choice is ultimately yours how you live, but many just cower away and resign themselves to a life of mediocrity. Most people have the capability and potential to live their dreams, but how many choose the path of hard work, sacrifice, discipline, dedication, and service? You must start on pursuing your dreams, you have nothing to lose, you have the ability to live your dreams, you have the strength and power within you to develop yourself to be the right person and to make your dreams a reality.
Five years on what does life look like to you?
