Everyone wants to
make money online. It's just the nature of the beast. One of the easiest ways to
do so is to write an ebook on a topic for which you are a subject matter expert.
But once written, how do you actually sell it?
Well I decided to
write Make Your
Ebook Sell precisely on this subject matter. As a former college writing
instructor, as a writer myself, and as the founder of EbookoMatic.com
-- a leading ebook publisher, I thought I would share my experience and unique
perspective about publishing and selling ebooks.
Over the years I
have written a few books and published the works of hundreds of other people.
Not everything sells well, and that may be the starting point for most new
authors -- understanding what sells and how the nature of your content can limit
your success.
Based upon my
experience as a writing instructor, I can honestly say that most people can not
write an English sentence, let alone sustain it for more than a few pages. I was
amazed at the low literacy rate of American students when I started teaching in
1981 at Queens College in NYC. Was was even more surprising was that my
non-native speaking students actually took writing more seriously and tended to
write better.
As an author, I
have had a lot of trouble publishing what I love to write best: poetry. The
market may contain a huge universe of small publications, but they tend to go
out of business before they even publish their first issue. And then there's the
cultural and political issues of getting published by university presses. The
ivory tower is tough to climb. And God forbid you think you've written
commercial fiction, have fun trying to find an agent or print publisher.
As an ebook
publisher, it amazes me what sells the best online. Outside of traditional
marketing ebooks sold by the top online marketing gurus or niche' ebooks about
how to make more money online, the ebooks that routinely sell the best on EbookoMatic.com
are academic textbooks on business management, mathematics and physics!
Spiritual and motivational ebooks can also do well, but this wasn't what I had
expected.
Make
Your Ebook Sell tells you in 80+ pages about publishing options,
packaging, and promotion. And it also includes tons of input from some of the
most successful online authors in the business. To learn more about this ebook,
