Honing In on Ideas for E-books
If you have not yet investigated the world of e-books, it is time for an introduction, as e-books can be beneficial for you both personally and financially. E-books are electronic books that are downloaded and saved onto your computer. Some e-books must be purchased, and some are even free. You can read them directly from your computer, or print them out to read at any time. The intriguing thing about the e-book phenomenon is that almost all of the middle men (agents, publishers, wholesalers) can be cut out, and you can manage most of the work yourself (writing, editing, formatting, copywriting, and selling). E-books are a great idea for those of you who want to be more independent in your success. In addition, your success can come much quicker with e-books than with traditional print books.
A first step in this process of creating an e-book is of course deciding on a topic, or at least defining it better. You may already have interesting topics in mind, but make sure your final choice is a topic in which many people will be interested. Otherwise, you cannot expect big sales. Whether you know what you want to write about or you simply know you want to write, when thinking about good, profitable e-book ideas, check to see if your topic is one that is in demand. A good tool for this is Online Gold Finder.
When deciding on e-book ideas, remember also to consider your knowledge of the topics. The phrase "write what you know" applies to e-books just as it applies to all writing. Write about something with which you are familiar, and about something that intrigues a good number of people. Also, do a little research as to how much information already exists on your topic. If you know a good deal about both the circus and underwater basket weaving, and find that there is a demand for information on both topics, look around to see which topic already has the most information available, especially online. If there are 100 e-books already in circulation about the circus, but only 8 about underwater basket weaving, consider underwater basket weaving as one of youre-book ideas. There is both an interest and a demand.
Finally, consider purchasing one of the good e-book software programs available on the web, as these programs can make the writing and formatting process much more efficient and hassle-free. One is eBookGenerator, and another option is eBook Gold.
