Do you want to know an interesting fact about books on the
Web?
People don't buy them for their intrinsic worth, just to,
"own a book for their shelf".
They want to buy a solution to a problem or in plain terms,
they want a solution to something, now!
That means your ebook creation doesn't need to run 300-400
pages.
I see ebooks doing very well with only fifty pages in
length.
However, you probably don't want to get down into the 10-20
page length unless it gives specific directions to buried
treasure or gives so much of a "WOW" factor that length
doesn't matter.
So how can you really come up with an ebook in only a few
days, even if you didn't write it yourself?
Well I know four really quick, efficient ways to do just
that, without sacrificing your entire life as a tortured
author.
#1 - Your "Gold Mind"
First, if you know a subject really well, then just create
an ebook using the knowledge in your head. (That's what I
did with my first 3 ebooks.)
If you don't write that well, then put it together by
recording it and getting it transcribed.
Then you edit the transcript or hire an editor to do it for
you.
You can create an outline of the points to cover in the
ebook and then use a dictation service or a software
program to simply "talk out the ebook".
You simply talk out each point in detail, using your
mastery of the subject.
What you come up with may even surprise your greatly!
#2 - Hire An "Expert"
Second, if you don't possess the specific expertise on a
subject, you'll want to find someone who does.
Then you will use the expert interview format to create
content which can turn into a full length ebook.
After you come up with a list of questions for the expert,
you conduct the interview with a conference call and record
it.
Then, as in the first method, a dictation service can turn
it into a saleable text version for you.
#3 - Buy Your Way In
A third way to create an ebook product involves buying
resale rights to a book already written, or agreeing on a
marketing deal with an author with an existing book /ebook.
Many people can write good books, but they simply don't
know how to market them.
This offers a "match made in heaven" for two talents to get
together: your marketing ability and their writing ability.
You want to check carefully on three important points
though, if you decide to buy resell rights for an ebook
project.
1) First, how long ago did the ebook first appear online?
Does it appear "shopworn" from over exposure or poor
marketing?
2) How large of a niche market does it target?
A long time ebook with a small niche might not make a good
investment. But if it looks like a lot of new people could
use its content, then you might want to buy the resale
rights.
3) Last, you want to honestly evaluate the ebook, whatever
the age.
Do you like it? Does it contain good up to date,
information?
Will it deliver on promises and make you feel like you got
value for the price?
If you can answer yes to all three, then you probably found
a good investment.
#4 - Outsource "The Whole Enchilada"
Finally, the fourth way to create an ebook involves hiring
someone to first do research for you on a specific subject,
and then hiring someone to write it for you.
You can find services on the Internet which will do the job
for you and offer competitive bids based on your
requirements.
CAUTION: You want to make sure that you own all rights to
whatever content someone produces for you in a "work for
hire" agreement.
I recommend using services which can automatically provide
this type of agreement as part of the bidding process along
with instructions on how to complete such an arrangement
with a writer.
You want to remember one thing, no matter which one of the
four approaches you use in creating your own ebook.
Your ebook must be of VALUE to your target niche audience.
So many people come out with fluff, B.S. and nonsense that
when you deliver real, demonstrable VALUE to people, they
remember!
That's how you build up a loyal following that eagerly buys
up every product you release.
That's also how you build up a business that lasts for
years and doesn't end up just a flash in the pan (like most
online businesses).
