If you ask me, eBooks are becoming the new blogs. I see them popping up everywhere from blog authors. Instead of trying to make money off the pennies from advertising, they’re bundling all the info up and making more on one eBook than traditional authors make. It’s smart. And it’s good for the readers. No longer do you have to sift through categories and searches on a blog when you want someone’s expertise in written form.
eBooks aren’t just pervading the blogging world. Many non-techie people I know in real life are buying Kindles and iPads and are ditching paper books for the eBook.
And so. I’m a blogger. And a reader. And yes, I’m tossing around the idea of an eBook. And when I saw Sarah Mae had made over $20,000 on one eBook on cleaning, my ears perked up. I couldn’t wait to read her latest eBook on, well, how to sell an eBook.
As a techie, I kept hoping for more technical instructions on how to do the thing but Sarah Mae is quick to let you know she’s definitely not a techie and relies on paid help. Other than that, I felt like the book was straight to the point and well-written. I particularly liked:
- Her tip on getting a sponsor to pay for the book
- Details on getting it on Amazon
- Recommendations on who she actually used for help
If you are thinking about writing an eBook I highly recommend this read. Sarah Mae’s techniques obviously are proven and hope to one day put them to work!
