WHY CREATE AN E-BOOK
The only real constant is change. Knowledge that was
on the cutting edge a year ago is quickly outdated or
obsolete. More than ever people are actively seeking
to learn all they can and that makes it a ripe market
for writing and publishing your information in digital
format as an ebook.
Advantages
There are several advantages to publishing ebooks.
Rather than go through the process of having a hardcopy
book produced through a printer, you can do it yourself
on your computer. Speed is one greatest advantages of
digital media. You can have your book written, compiled
into its final file format and uploaded to the internet
or to ebay in days instead of the weeks or months that
a "normal" book requires for a paper edition.
Cost
Cost is another of the advantages of the electronic
format. Even a moderate run of ten thousand hardcover
books will run into the thousands of dollars to set
up and print. This is true whether your book is being
done through a publishing house or a small printer.
This doesn't even include the costs of shipping the
product to retailers and marketing in any manner.
The only cost involved in creating an ebook is the
value that you place on your time. Of course there is
the cost of the electricity your computer uses, but
that is negligible.
Format
Your ebook will be created in a readable format, typically
a .pdf file. The advantage of using this format is that
you will potentially have an unlimited number of copies
of your ebook. By having to only transfer a digital
file you have in effect created another copy of your
work at virtually no extra cost. Whether your book is
copied a dozen times or a million, your cost to produce
them is the same.
By using the ebook format in business you can save
countless thousands of dollars by keeping your product
catalogs and user manuals in ebook format. With catalogs,
you can update the products and prices as often as you
wish and you do not have the loss of thousands of outdated
back issues filling your warehouse space or having to
recycle them. Your information is always available for
your customers in the most up to date version.
Profiting
Typically when you produce an ebook your end product
is not in the hundreds of pages. This is another cost
advantage compared to using a publisher and having to
pay for the cost of the paper to print it on. If your
book does end up being large; 50-100 pages or larger;
you can then break it up into volumes and you have two
or three ebooks to offer for sale effectively doubling
or tripling your profits.
Finally realize that you do not need to fear you are
not good enough to write your own book. Write it as
thought you were telling a friend about something. Feel
comfortable. Once you are done you can run the copy
through a spelling and grammar checking program to hone
off any rough spots there. Everyone has a book in them
somewhere. It is time to let yours out on the world.
