One of the fastest selling products on the Internet is e-books but most people are afraid to try. If you just read the following ‘pointers' you can be up and running compiling your own in no time. There is no reason why at first you cannot hire other people to carry out some if not all the work for you until you feel confident enough to ‘go it alone'.

Once you've decided on a topic for your E-Book, and have done research to ensure that people are looking for and buying information on this topic, write a series of articles. Articles are less intimidating to write than a book, and you can use some of the articles as promotional tools to create demand for your forthcoming book. Post several articles on various websites, as well as on the article directories and the number of views your articles receive will show you what potential your book has for making sales.

Once this is complete you can start writing the content of the e-book and work out how you want it to look. You book should be in three to four sections and will contain an introduction, the main body of the material, a closing chapter and possibly some additional material too. Consider writing several more articles as a bonus because adding this as a bonus will enhance your sales.

Once each article has been written, place into the e-book; just how many you will ultimately require will depend on how long you want it to be. E-Books are shorter than print books with the optimum length being around 50 pages so stick to the topic, and offer good, useful information. Because it's more difficult to read on your computer screen than on the page, ensure that there's no information that essentially useless to your reader.

As an added extra, why not supply the reader with some bonus material you have located to give added value to your e-book; this is always appreciated. Your bonus material could include a small report (just write two or three additional articles), checklists, or add templates. Any extra material you supply will need to be worthwhile on its own and be related to your e-book subject.

You can also make your ebook viral by giving it away, or as a bonus to your
original package, with your affiliate links embedded of course!
