This is a great moment in time for aspiring writers and publishers. Why? The huge growth of the Net has brought with it a wonderful product the eBook. Indeed, the eBooks of today’s generation are far different from the few eBooks that were available as early as the 90’s. While, in the early 90’s, the vehicle to write and distribute your eBook was almost non existent, today, the Net makes the eBook an attractive and profitable way of writing a book and selling it to your target audience.
Initially, eBooks received a bad “rap” for being, in many cases, cheesy and silly. Fortunately, this view of eBooks has changed greatly in the last 10 years or so and they have become highly respected and are even becoming mainstream. Recently, Oprah Winfrey endorsed her eBook reader, which only served to add more credibility to the product. So, this is definitely the route of the future. In other words, there has never been a better time to take control of your book writing and publishing and take advantage of the great momentum that eBooks are now seeing on the Net.
Unlike paper book authors, eBook authors do not have a full publication house behind them – this is a very positive side of the eBook business! It means that you keep complete control of all aspects of your book. You can let your creativity shine through and it will be seen in the final product.
This also means that you retain complete control of all publishing, marketing and selling of your eBook. So, with some due diligence and some well thought through research, you can come up with your own marketing plan that will ensure that your book will be a winner. When you own the eBook, YOU control your message. Your book will not be buried in some publisher’s poorly marketed catalog.
Once again, the Net can come be very helpful in assisting you with the ideal starting place – you can find one stop shopping that will deliver a professional “how to guide on how to write your eBook and how to create, manage and sell your product”. You are a valuable asset to your own business model, especially since no one will ever be able to sell your product as well as you.
A lot of people do not realize that once you complete your eBook you can apply for an ISBN number and market it through Amazon’s Kindle program. This allows for a much larger distribution network for your eBook. It also gives you much wider recognition as a writer.
In today’s market, getting your message to the market is considerably easier than it was even just five years ago. The tools and distribution methods available make it a level playing field. Every writer has the same opportunity to write their eBook and get it to the consumer. You are no longer restricted by the extremely lengthy process of writing a book, editing, submitting it to a publisher, getting rejected repeatedly, then finally getting a yes, only to find out it will be months until your book is published. This huge waste of time is easily skipped by writing your own eBook.
Do some research, a little leg work and enjoy the fruits of your labor both creatively and financially.
