Writing an ebook will increase your credibility and pave the way to greater opportunities for you. Whether you want to become a public speaker or just sell your ebook online, you will need to know more about the different types of ebooks that do well on the internet.
- Fiction does not do well online. The overwhelming majority of ebooks sold online are non-fiction. If you are writing a work of fiction, you may need to consider other alternatives or at least pursue traditional or self-publishing at the same time.
- How to books – These do very well online. Whether you are explaining how to build something, repair something, or how to start a type of business, you will find many people all over the world who will be interested in these types of ebooks.
- Information for collectors and hobbyists – These also do well as ebooks. Almost everyone has a hobby or collects something. When you find a niche that you are knowledgeable in and where there are people hungry for information, this is where you will find many prospects for your ebook.
- Best of and Lists – These topics will also do very well as ebooks. Determine what information people are interested in and you will find many interested people.
- Religious and Spiritual – Again, these are very good topics. It will not matter if you are controversial, informative, or just presenting your opinion. Ebooks in this area are extremely popular.
Decide which type of ebook you want to write and then look for a hungry audience of people who are willing and able to buy ebooks.
