6 Good Reasons For Writing An eBook

Electronic books also known as ebooks for short are one of the

hottest properties on the Internet. The benefits of writing

an ebook are enormous.

As an Internet business owner, ebooks are powerful tools that

you can use to grow your business. Here are 6 good reasons for

writing an ebook:

(1) Easy to create

Ebooks are fairly easy to create and don't require any special

knowledge. Basically you can create ebooks in two different

formats ie .exe and .pdf. Ebooks in .exe format can be read

by Window users but not Macintosh computers whereas .pdf formats

can be read by both. You just need Adobe Acrobat Reader to be

able to open pdf files which you can download free at

http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

There are a list of ebook compilers available on the market

that you can use to create .exe ebooks and .pdf ebooks.

(2) No big investment needed

Creating an ebook does not require a big investment. I make use

of Activ eBook Compiler to create .exe ebooks. You can try the

software free at http://www.ebookcompiler.com but there

will be ads in your ebook front page when you build it. For an

activation fee, the ads will be removed. This is a nice piece of

software. I really like it and it's fairly easy to use when you

get accustomed to the software.

To create pdf ebooks, you can go to [http://www.gohtm.com/convert_pdf.asp]

This is a free web based service that you can use to convert your

word documents and other file formats to pdf documents.

(3) Developing your own paid product

If you know how to build your own ebook, you can easily create your

own product to make real money. You just need to write what you

know about. The Internet is a highway of information and you need

to create a product which focus on a specific topic. Basically

there is a huge potential for creating your own information products

and there is an infinite number of topics you can write about.

Not just topics related to internet marketing and online business

but other themes like cooking, gardening, pets etc. Now these are

niche topics and if you have knowledge in these areas, you can

easily create an info product in a digital format like an ebook

talking about this.

(4) Fast and instant delivery

A big advantage with ebooks is that the delivery process is fast

and instant. You don't need product shipping for you don't have

any physical inventory due to the fact that an ebook is purely

digital. You can give an unlimited number of copies to your

customers.

(5) Subscriber generation

If you can create your own ebooks, why not create a useful ebook

packed with quality information, then offer it as a bonus or gift

to generate new subscribers to your newsletter. This is an

attractive incentive to gain new subscribers.

(6) Viral Marketing Effects

Good ebooks can become your own traffic machine and it can has a

viral marketing effect. By viral, I mean it can propagate across

the Internet, hence your business can get big exposure for your

ebook contains links to your websites.

Say you create an ebook packed with great articles that you've

written and you allow others to distribute it freely to their own

susbcribers to give them quality information, or to get new

subscribers, your ebook and business will have great exposure.

If you have a quality ebook, some product owners might even use

it as a bonus to add more value to their offer.

Ebooks are becoming more and more popular on the Internet these

days for there is a huge potential to build a successful online

business around them. So go ahead and start creating your own

ebooks be it free or paid.
