Creating profitable eBooks is easier than you may imagine. Actually, many people have been able to write eBooks and earn excellent money as a result. It’s entirely possible that you can too. If you follow these step by step instructions, you can write eBooks that will sell.

Step 1 – Research Your Market

It’s true, you are an expert in your field and could probably turn out a bestselling book, but you still need to take time to research the market for your topic before writing your book. First, you need to research the topic thoroughly to ensure others are interested in reading about it. Now that you’ve done the initial market research, you can proceed to the next step.

Step 2 – Write and Package Your eBook

Now comes the hard part – writing the eBook. Actually, this can be accomplished by writing it yourself, getting another writer to do the work for you or gathering information from various PLR sites and putting it together into one nice package.

Once you have your eBook, save the file as a .PDF file. The PDF file type is the most commonly accepted method of distributing eBooks.

3. The Website.

This is the most important step in the eBook writing process. You will need to establish an Internet presence in order to market and sell your eBook.

The website can be simple in design, but you will want to include motivating words and phrases to capture their attention and convince them to buy your eBook. You want them to have no choice but to buy.

4. The Payment System.

The next step is to setup your website so you can take payments. There are many ways you can do this. The most common way to take payments among beginning internet marketers is to just take payment with PayPal. Others choose to use other online processing systems that don’t require a real merchant account.

One way you may want to do this is by registering for a merchant account through PayPal that will provide you with many tools including a direct payment link that can be placed on your site. It’s important to note, however, that PayPal often sends marketing emails out to the people who are buying from you, so you will want to set this account up to do this as little as possible or go with an alternate payment account. There are many to choose from online for this purpose.

Step 5 – Getting web traffic.

In order to get the word out about your eBook and website, you will be finding ways to generate traffic to your site via marketing efforts. This can be accomplished by joining multiple online communities and posting your link in messages or blog posts.

Another method that’s growing in popularity is using social networking sites to get people to visit your sites and learn more about your products. Be sure to ask others with related products if you can share links on websites to generate even more web traffic. You can even pay for traffic with Pay Per Click programs if it is reasonable to do so.

Remember that selling eBooks can be a fun way to earn a substantial income, but that it will take time for this process to occur.
