Ebook Creation - Learning Step By Step
Brainstorming
If you know what you want to create, you've already on your way.
But, if you're not sure what information you have stored in your
years of living - well, it can be difficult.
I've found the best way to brainstorm is to write your ideas,
experiences and knowledge down on a piece of paper - then do
research to determine what people are looking for on the net.
Research
To determine if your product, idea, or info-knowledge will fly
you must do research. Go to WordTracker or Overture and see how
many times people in the month were looking for what you want to
write about. This will give you an idea if it is a viable
product. Also do a straight search in Google and Yahoo for your
keywords, and see what turns up. Investigate some of the sites,
you may be surprised that you have a completely slant on the
information you want to present in an E-book - which is a good
thing.
Writing
If you think your ebook may fly, then it is time to write.
Create a text format, using Word or Notepad. There are several
different types of Ebook Creation Tools that you can use,
downloadable or online. You can check some of the tools out on
my site at:

Note, that if you choose Gymnast - there will be a notation in
your ebook that states you (the creator) has used the
unregistered version of the software. But - before you pull it
into a PDF, be sure to proofread your material.
Next, you can create an Ebook cover. Yes, I know, you're on a
tight budget, so . . . look to http://www.onlinewebcreations.com
-- they have some free ebook covers that you can choose from,
and an on-line tool in which you can add the title of the book
onto the Ebook cover.
If you don't find these free ebook covers to your liking then
you can purchase software to create your own ebook cover or pay
someone else to do it for you. Once you have your ebook
completed, it is time to get it out to the masses.
I would suggest submitting your ebook to Clickbank or Payloadz.
However, if this is your first ebook, I would strongly suggest
that you give Payloadz a closer look. From my own research - it
is reasonable, you upload your ebook to their server (which
eliminates your need to make your ebook available to the
customer), and the payment goes through your Paypal account.
As to promotion, I will leave that to you to research.
