How To Make Money Writing E-Books

December 30, 2009 in Make Money by Golden Blogger

As I have tested this method myself, I have to admit that writing your own ebooks and selling them on various forums online seems to be one of the easiest and fastest ways of making money online. After reading this article you will solely need some patience to write your first ebook and generate some cash from it

Before starting out, you should keep in mind a fact which gives me hope every time I sit in front of my computer. There are millions of people who are starting using the Internet for the first time and there will always be newbies and amateurs which will always be looking to learn how to make money online or other online related niches. This is our advantage, since we already know more than them, we have to pack our knowledge into an e-book and sell it on different forums, plain and simple isn’t it?

What to write about ?

Well you should do a research and find out whats actually hot at the moment, what’s something which everyone talks about? A good example is Joel Comm’s “Twitter Power“, he wrote it at the time when Twitter was found everywhere and hence it had a guaranteed success for two easy facts:

  1. Twitter was the new trend, everybody talking about it and tweeting around
  2. It was written by a bestseller such as Joel Comm

But … I’m not Joel Comm

I knew you would say that, despite the fact you are not an author or a best seller, yet you have the possibility to make a successful e-book and sell a lot of copies. I remember one of my first e-books, I sold about 30 copies at $29.99 and I was extremely happy, i made a hefty $900 for an e-book I swear I didn’t spend more than 2 hours. So there I was, a non native English speaking student with a new e-book which I wasn’t even sure others would even like to read that for free … let alone pay $30 for it. So i was wrong , not only I got a lot of sales, but many people thanked me for the interesting e-book and this is how you build your reputation so I am sure that if I ever sell another e-book, I would offer to my previous buyers a discounted copy and they are going to purchase only because they already have experience dealing with me

Where To Sell My E-book?

After you have completed writing your e-book, make sure you convert it to PDF (even encrypt it with a password) you can freely register (if you aren’t already a member of) at Digital Point or at Warrior Forum (or any other make money related board). Make sure you build your reputation before trying to sell anything on those forums as a newbie is always looked as a newbie so you better post a couple of helpful answers before jumping to the B/S/T section

Conclusion

The conclusion is plain simple, if you need quick money on your PayPal, writing about a topic you know perfectly can bring you a couple of hundred dollars, of course it won’t make you a billionaire but you actually get it easily by solely sharing what you have already learned across different boards. Make sure you never copy or sell others people e-books as it will destroy your reputation and you will never be able to make money online, so write an unique e-book based on your skills and money will follow
