information that they may never access again.

Do not forget to phrase your title so that it ‘answers’ a need and satisfies an impulse. You have roughly 15 to 30 seconds to capture your buyer’s attention – if your topic is bland, they will move on to something

You have probably heard stories about people earning hundreds of thousands of dollars on e-books. With some a little bit of creativity and hours of hard work, you can do the same, too. Here are some tips on writing an e-book – and making sure it sells.

Decide on a profitable topic

Sadly, not all topics are suitable for e-book publishing. Some are simply too broad to be covered in PDF. For your e-book to sell, you need a niche – a topic that is specific enough so that it can be discussed in about 100 to 200 pages, but not too specific that it alienates other potential readers.

Your topic should also be ‘time-sensitive,’ that is, it has to change rapidly over a short period of time so that it becomes impractical to buy it in book form. The topic “Understanding Search Engines,” for example, is NOT time-sensitive, but the topic “Search Engine Optimization Tactics for 2007” is. Your topic should entice your reader to buy your e-book because if they do not, they will feel like they are missing out on time-sensitive information that they may never access again.

Have monopoly of the information you offer

Your e-book will only be profitable if the information you offer is not available (for free) somewhere else. Do not write an e-book that only copies what is already available in free access websites. Give your readers their money’s worth by providing them with truly useful, relevant information that they can use as inspiration or as reference.

Most e-books go from $5 to $8 depending on the length, but there is really no hard and fast rule. Some experts advice that you ask some colleagues or friend to read your e-book, and then ask how much they would pay to read that information. You can also benchmark your competition – try to charge lower than what they are charging.

Sell your e-book efficiently

It works well to buy the domain name that is the same as your e-book’s title, but of you already have a website that is related to your e-book, anyway, then just append a page devoted to it.
