How do I do it?

Before writing your e-book, it is a good idea to go surf the net and download a bunch of e-books and look over them. Decide what you like and what you don't like from what others have written. This can help you a lot with the format of your e-book. This saves time in the long run.

We have a lot of different E-books and an analysis on what is good and what is bad about them in our members section tutorial on e-books.

Writing an e-book can be easy if you have followed our suggestions on having an E-zine or Newsletter.

You can take the content you have written for your e-zine and re-organize it into topics which become your chapters, then add in any transitions you need, and write the sales pitch within the book, and whammo, you have an e-book.

You may find the sales pitch is already contained within your e-zine articles so it could be extremely easy.

You could also add answers from your FAQ into the book.

As you see, if you are working with a proper Internet Strategy, all the pieces just keep building on one and other, and it doesn't actually take a lot of time to move from one point to the next in your strategy. Ahhh, the power of the Internet and Planning!

I have seen a lot of good e-books and bad e-books. The good ones get kept and referred on, the bad ones get discarded to the recycle bin.

The really good ones get printed out as a reference.

Make your e-book a really good one an be sure to give re-distribution permission right in the book.

You could also hire a professional writer to do your e-book for you. You could let them go through all your e-zines to get a handle on the subject manner, then write the book for you.

A ghost writer can save you a lot of valuable time if you are busy.
