There's never been a better time to be a writer. There are unlimited opportunities for skilled writers online, and building an information marketing business by writing ebooks is a great opportunity.
Let's see how you can get your eBook empire started fast.
1. Get a Free Education at the Outsourcing Sites
Writing and selling your own ebooks can be intimidating. One of the easiest ways to get an education in how it all works, is on the outsourcing sites. By writing for others, you learn what makes a professionally created eBook and you get paid to learn.
If you don't already have an account at an outsourcing site, create one today and start bidding on eBook writing projects.
2. Sell Your Expertise, You're an Expert on Something
Once you've completed at least three eBook projects for other people, you're ready to create your own ebooks and sell them.
Ready? Start by choosing a topic on which people need information.
Perhaps you already have a topic that you know will be a success, if you don't have a topic, think about your own experiences and what you are an expert on. Everyone's an expert on something.
Once you've chosen a topic, write a project brief (a "brief" is just a description) exactly as you'd find on one of the outsourcing sites.
Your project brief is essential even if you're working for yourself. You will find your project will change as you work on it, and having the brief in front of you keeps you on track.
Give yourself a deadline. Without a deadline your project could go on forever.
3. Once You've Completed Your First Ebook, Work on Another
As soon as you've completed the first project, get started on another one. You won't know how successful your first project will be for a while, so get started on another project right away.
Preferably, the topic for your second eBook should be related to the first. This gives you a chance to sell your second eBook to those people who purchased the first one.
