I have been a writer for a long time and digital publishing (eBooks) is one way in which I have earned much of my income. I post content from web pages, blog posts, and e-books. All three can be done easily and for free, if you know how.

Writing and publishing e-books is a great way to make money from your writing because you can type them on your computer and then publish them digitally. This leaves you free to keep writing more e-books.

You can also make money online by selling other people’s e-books.

There are several ways to make money online, whether you have your own books to sell or not.

But without your own e-books, you are not in full control of what you are doing.

I have been an affiliate marketer for years and find a fun and easy way to make money.

But since I sell e-books that are not mine, I have no control over them.

I was once promoting an affiliate product that was an e-book course on how to be persuasive.

I was happy to market it to writers who lacked confidence and told them how this product could help them write more persuasive sales pages so they could sell more books.

Everything was going well with this course for a couple of years and it was making regular sales.

Then one day when I was checking the links on my website, I discovered that the links to this product were broken.

I checked it out and guess what? The product had been recalled and was no longer available.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, and he couldn’t understand why, because he was a constant salesperson. But now it was gone and there was nothing I could do except remove all the material about it from my website.

This is why it is best to have your own e-books to sell.

Write your own e-books.

meBooks are great because they only need to be written once and can be sold over and over again, AND the entire sales process can be automated for customers to buy and download your e-books without you having to do anything, and you earn money. with each sale automatically as well.

And even if you’ve never written an e-book before, it’s still possible to write your own.

Where to get ideas

You can write a book on any topic that interests readers. You can even write a book about what you do online.

If you want more ideas, you can browse your local library, magazines, blogs, or you can search (on Amazon) for books similar to the one you want to write for more ideas on what to include in yours. Readers’ reviews are a great source of information on what readers liked and (most importantly) what they didn’t like about the book. It’s amazing how many ideas you can get once you start looking for books online.

Some authors use their own websites for inspiration and rewrite all of their content online and expand their articles into e-book chapters.

Other e-book authors do it the other way around. They write their e-book and reduce each chapter to an article to put on their website to help promote it.

Sell ​​your e-book

Once your e-book is written and published, you should spend some time marketing it.

It’s best to have a marketing plan before writing your book, because it saves time later, and you can also pre-market it so people are eager to buy it as soon as it’s available.

And your e-books don’t have to be huge. Some authors make money writing just 20-30 pages and selling them as 99-cent Kindle e-books. And what they find is that as long as the book is packed with helpful and inspiring information, or they’ve written a fascinating piece of fiction, readers love their e-books, so they’ll keep buying more.

And if you can’t write a book yourself, you can always summarize its chapters and hire a freelance writer to write it for you.

But whichever way you choose to do it, having your own e-books to sell is beneficial to everyone.

You win because you make money automatically and your customers win because they buy a great e-book and have instant access to it.

So do not expect more.
