Creating & Promoting Your Ebooks For Knowledge Commerce: Guide

 

Ebook Creation Is Now Ultra-Easy Thanks To Some Excellent Resources, Tools, And Examples To Follow

Remember, ebooks are amongst the most popular knowledge products. Most marketers like to begin with these. Ebooks allow Knowledge Commerce entrepreneurs to cut their teeth in the business without much risk.

We’re talking here of books to sell through your own site. We're not including books for Amazon Kindle which are a whole different ball game.

There are four key aspects to creating and marketing your own ebooks. Planning and writing your ebook is your first task. Designing your ebook cover is the second one. Once you've got the ebook done, protecting it from privacy is your third action point. And finally you need to decide how best to price your ebook.

At Solohacks Academy, we believe the price of an ebook and its real value are two different things entirely. What if an ebook of $2.99 showed you the map to a treasure worth $1 million? How would you rate its price vs. value balance? Think about it!

Choosing the absolutely perfect title for your ebook is a second step in the process. Writing a lot of potential raw titles is the first step. From quantity comes quality. So don't sweat the rigor.

3. HOW TO RESEARCH CONTENT FOR YOUR EBOOK … 10 ORGANIZING IDEAS:

Researching Content For Your Ebook? Decide Your Ebook’s Scope, Check Competitive Information, Create A Mindmap, Update Gaps, Re-sequence For Ebook Flow

I remember reading once that the best way to collect and organize all the information you want to put into your ebook was to make several sticky notes on each point, clear the floor, sit in the middle and stick the notes all around you - and then try to group the notes into an order that "pleases the eye".

Wow! If someone can do that, I'll pay them 10 times over on the book price, just for the labor they put into it all.

Fortunately it's all much simpler than that, thanks to one free tool and some planning. I don't mean planning the contents of the ebook. Before that, you have to plan what you need to research and how much you need to research for the contents of the book.

On this post, we, at Solohacks Academy, have given you ten organizing ideas to get started with ebook content research. We have a simple method we follow, that works every time. You'd be surprised how well your ebook will flow with content value, if you just follow this process.
