How to Write and Publish an eBook and Market it, on Tens of Thousands Websites, Worldwide!

What Is An eBook?

An eBook is simply an software version of a book, which can be read with an electronic device such as a computer.

A writer creates a document or series of documents, which are wrapped with a compiler into an electronic book - an eBook.

The HTML compiler is ideal for the smaller eBook, which is often a mini, self-contained Website that has been compiled into a small executable (EXE) file. This file can be readily downloaded from the Internet, or published on a floppy disk, DVD, or CD-ROM.

Authors who have written a large number of pages in a word processor prefer to use a PDF compiler, which wraps the document into an eBook with a PDF extension. This format can be opened by almost any Web browser and can be downloaded and read on any type of operating system (OS).

The Purpose Of An eBook

A book provides the reader with either entertainment or information, and the two main genres are fiction and non-fiction.

You can create an eBook version of your novel and market it on the Internet, in addition to publishing hard copy versions. Visit the online bookstores, and you will see many book are now offered in an electronic version at a greatly reduced price.

Business people create eBooks for a variety of reasons, including:

• Marketing: You can compile a complete presentation of your product or service into an eBook, which can contain images, sound, and multi-media interaction
• Promotion: You can create and supply free of charge an eBook with specific information that is of great interest to your target market. The eBook will also contain a special offer for a product or service that you're selling
• Catalogues: You can prepare a catalogue of your products, complete with pictures, prices, and an order form. This can be distributed online or CD-ROM etc.Manuals: You can write your company manual and compile it into an eBook with hyper-links to make navigation simple for your employees
• How To Books: You can create a series of eBooks on how to complete various tasks. They can be either sold or provided free as an incentive
• ...and much more!

The subjects and possibilities of eBooks are endless - just take a look around any large books store or reference library, and you'll be swamped by ideas for eBooks.

Because It's So Easy

It is easy to write and publish an eBook for very little cost, and you can find thousands of poor quality publications on the Internet. These are normally provided by people who may have a great deal of knowledge or expertise on their subject, but cannot write and create a good eBook.

The problem with the bad eBook is that the reader deletes it from their hard drive after one quick scan, and all the author's efforts are in vain. You can even find eBooks from large companies that fall into this category, because they simply do not have the expertise for publishing successful eBooks.

Make sure that your eBooks are successful publications.

It Can Be Free And Good!

Many people have the impression that because an eBook is given free, or offered as a free download that it will not be of good quality. They are firmly convinced that you only get what you pay for, and they often pay hundreds of dollars for a heavily promoted eBook that frequently fails to live up to it's promise.

Some of the best books in my personal eBook collection are free downloads, and they're packed with valuable information.

This has often encouraged me to follow-up on the special offer provided in these free eBooks, and purchase more products from the same source.

Don't Rush Into Print

There are authors who can churn out a novelette inside a couple of weeks, but most authors agree that serious writing can take considerably longer. They are amused by those books that offer to show you how to write and publish your first book in just a few days.

If you are an experienced writer, and have a great deal of researched work completed and edited, then it may well be ready for publication in a few weeks.

People who are relatively new to writing, and have never been published, are advised to tread carefully and proceed steadily one step at a time. This is the only road to success in writing.
