How I Create and Sell my own eBooks
A Free Guide
If you’ve read my article on How I Make Money with My Blog, you’ve seen that creating and selling eBooks is one of the ways I monetize my blog.
Creating and selling eBooks is actually not as difficult as it sounds.
I was very surprised when I found out how easy it is.
Why Make eBooks?
Writing an eBook can be as simple as typing your story on Google Docs and converting it into a PDF. An eBook can be as little as 10 pages or as much as 100 pages — or even more.
eBooks let you express your creativity, whether it’s through writing or design.
You can start for free and only invest in tools if you want to.
I think creating and selling eBooks is also a great way to learn how to run a business.
It teaches you payment handling, pricing, marketing, and more.
While it might not make you a millionaire, selling eBooks can bring in some extra income and give you a sense of fulfillment and pride.
After all, you get to teach a big group of people about something you’re knowledgeable about.
Step 1: Choose a Topic
Pick something you love or something you’re are good at. This could be something you enjoy discussing with friends about or what people seek your advice on.
Step 2: Research Demand
Ask your audience what they’re interested in. Pay attention to the questions people ask you. Look for clues on social media or search engines to see if your topic has demand.
You can use use Google Trends for this.
Step 3: Plan Your eBook
Define the purpose of your eBook and outline your content. Make sure it bridges the gap between the problem and the solution.
Step 4: Create Engaging Content
Write like you’re talking to a friend. Use lists, bullet points, and bold sentences to make it reader-friendly. Ensure your content is useful, relevant, and actionable. Know your audience and deliver on your promise.
