This amazing journey I have now been on for more than three years would never have come about if I hadn’t decided that I wanted to learn how to write an eBook. I was going to write about my experiences over the past twenty years, and how I walked away from teaching and working in real estate in order to be able to work from home.
That idea will be self-published as a traditional book by the end of 2009, but in the process I began to write an eBook about how to build an online business. That eBook will most likely never be published, because it is that information that I use every day to write articles (about 980 as of this posting), create information products, mentor others on how to get started with their own online business, and so much more. The eBook that I will not publish is the basis of my business. This information positioned me as an expert in my niche, and continues to bring me more business.
So if you are writing an eBook, and I sincerely hope that you are, think about how you can teach that information to others to make much more money than you could by simply selling the eBook as a stand alone product. You will always make more money by explaining your book than by selling it, and the same goes for eBooks. Teach your eBook and you will be able to enjoy the internet marketing lifestyle that I used to only dream about.
I’m not sure what you mean by “explaining your eBook” and “teach your eBook”. Could you be more specific?
Thanks for sharing that great advice Connie!
The really big and consistent long term money,
is definitely made by teaching the concepts and
strategies in your book!
Not in just selling the book itself!While that is
very subtle and extremely sophisticated distinction!
It’s a potentially very profitable one!Thanks!
