			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People often want to make a textbook of their own design. There are often people who have knowledge they would like to share but do not find it feasible to work with a large publishing company to get it done. For people in this position, there are now more options available than ever before.</p>
<p>In previous decades, people who had a specialty interest that they wanted to print a book about had to rely on vanity presses. These were often fairly expensive to work with. If the person did not need as many copies of the book as the publisher required for a minimum, the person had two options. They could publish the number that was required, often ending up with many more copies that never got used. They could also forget about publishing at all if the first option would not work for them.</p>
<p>People who want to make a text book now have more choices than ever before. There are different companies on the net that help people with these needs get the right product. These newer styles also offer a great deal more flexibility than other methods.</p>
<p>More people than ever are acting as consultants, teachers or instructors. They give lectures, seminars and classes, sometimes at different locations all over the country. They may be artists, technical advisers or financial counselors. Almost any topic works well with the online versions of textbooks. </p>
<p>One of the best parts of this method is that changes can be made rapidly and easily. If there is any error of some kind, it can be corrected quickly. For those in the technical fields, chapters of some books may change rapidly, sometimes even becoming obsolete in a short time. Having a way to edit ones books to adapt to changing circumstances can help keep the material up to date. </p>
<p>Handling publication this way can result in cost savings for students. Many times, they will find it cheaper to print out the book than to purchase a hard copy. If there are changes to the text at the time they take the course, they can easily get replacement pages. Many will find that they do not have to print the material at all and will only keep it on their computer to read or for reference.</p>
<p>Writers will find that this method is fairly inexpensive to accomplish. They will also notice that they have more control over what they write without having an editor make objectionable revisions. For many, this may be the best way to make a textbook.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m a freelance writer by trade. Quite by accident, I dipped my toes in the self-publishing waters in 2004. That year, I wrote my first ebook. Since then, I&#8217;ve gone on to write over 50 more. I got serious about making money (real money) as an ebook writer in 2009. It paid off. In 2010, I earned over half my income from e-products (ebooks and e-classes) I created. Following are some frequently asked questions I&#8217;ve received about how to write an ebook.</p>
<p>Ebook Writing: &#8220;How Much Experience Do I Need to Write an Ebook?&#8221;</p>
<p>This is a common concern for many wannabe ebook writers. And, the answer is, you don&#8217;t need any experience; at least not formalized training. </p>
<p>What You Need to Write Ebooks That Sell</p>
<p>There are basically three ingredients: (i) good writing skills; (ii) a subject that interests people; and (iii) some marketing skill. </p>
<p>In fact, writing an ebook is relatively easy; it&#8217;s the marketing that requires the real effort. And don&#8217;t worry if you don&#8217;t. Marketing is a skill that can be learned, so don&#8217;t let this deter you. </p>
<p>Writing an Ebook: &#8220;How Do I Decide What to Write About?&#8221;</p>
<p>This will depend a lot on your interests and your experience. For example, I&#8217;m passion about entrepreneurship. I&#8217;ve owned several businesses &#8211; online and off &#8211; and also have experience in several disciplines (eg, recruiting, real estate and mortgages), to name three. </p>
<p>Hence, I can write ebooks on any of these subjects, eg, how to recruit qualified freelancers for your business, how to qualify for a home loan with bad credit and what to expect when you buy your first house. </p>
<p>My advice to new ebook writers is to write what you know and/or have a burning passion to write about. For example, if you love sci-fi fiction and have an idea for a book floating around your head, why not give it a go. Just knuckle down and write your ebook! You never know what could happen.</p>
<p>How to Price an Ebook to Sell: &#8220;How Do I Figure Out What to Charge for My Ebook?&#8221;</p>
<p>Even seasoned ebook authors have a hard time with this. Places like Amazon have made it easier. You can literally look at your genre and see what other ebook authors are selling their books for. </p>
<p>Also, read the forums on sites like Amazon and Barnes and Noble to see what the writers are saying, then go from there.</p>
<p>In my experience, learning how to price an ebook to sell is an ongoing learning curve. I tweak my ebook prices. I don&#8217;t do it too much though because: (i) I have a large library (over 50 tiles) at different price points; and (ii) I publish within a niche and have a good feel for what my readers will pay. But, this is after years of being in this field.  </p>
<p>The bottom line if you&#8217;re a new ebook author is that you&#8217;re going to have to do some research first, set a price and watch sales. Then, tweak accordingly.</p>
<p>If you want to write an ebook, then by all means do it. There&#8217;s never been a better time to be an ebook author. With self-publishing, you retain control and keep the bulk of the profits. It just doesn&#8217;t get much better than this for writers!</p>
<p>Want to write an ebook in 3 days, market it, and start getting sales within a week? I&#8217;ve taught others how to &#8212; and I can show you how as well. Get full details at http://inkwelleditorial.com/how-to-write-an-ebook-fast-and-start-getting-sales-fast.</p>
