Marketing Your Writing Output as e-Books

Creating your own ebooks is easier than you think...

It couldn’t simpler. Just select a compiler, read the instructions, hit the first button – and you’re on your way to becoming an instant electronic publisher.

Choosing the software

I recommend that you examine the individual features of several compiler options before you decide to buy (prices range from $20) or even download on a free trial basis. You can accomplish this by visiting the undernoted web sites. Read the FAQ on each site and compare the differentials between alternative compiler software options.

Organisation is the key

Many would-be cyberspace publishers topple at the first hurdle because of disorganized file formatting. Follow the instructions provided with the compiler of your choice and you won’t fall into that category; your formatting will be pristine and your e-produce ultra professional in execution.

Test before you start

Before starting on the manufacturing process, you may if you wish test out the compiler and the best way to do this is to feed in a few pages and then compile them. Testing the system will give you an appreciation of how easily and quickly the pages go through.

Working with cover templates

Your ebook will need a front cover for promotional purposes and (unless you are an experienced graphic artist) it could prove problematic if you attempt to create one by yourself. Happily, there is no requirement because here is a source that will provide you with a selection of free quality templates for your front cover. http://www.ebookcovermakers.com

Position Your Research Findings in Sequential Order

Sift through the data, moving all items of prime significance to the top of the list and those of secondary and tertiary significance to middle and bottom respectively. This is how to position your findings in sequential order and it will be of immense assistance when you come to sketch out an initial outline of the content for your book.

PUTTING YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS TO WORK

When you have completed your research, do not indulge in any rash decision-making. Put all your findings to the back of your mind. Allow osmosis and catharsis to take over the work for a while - and just watch the ideas for execution spill out from your subconscious.

SKETCHING THE INITIAL OUTLINE

Now you can have a stab at producing the first outline of the list of contents: chapter headings and sub-heads. At the outset you will find yourself jumping all over the place, moving items from one section to another and perhaps even toying with the idea of starting the book from a direction entirely different to that initially envisaged.

Do not be fazed or irritated by any of this; you are in exploratory mode and a long way away from setting anything in stone.

What To Ensure Before You Sign a Book Contract

Should your proposal prove successful you will receive a contract (memorandum of agreement) detailing the terms and conditions, warranties and indemnities governing the agreement. It is your responsibility to protect your intellectual property, so check out everything with a fine toothcomb.

Note in particular those sections relating to potential avenues of income for your published work. These would normally appear under headings such as those listed below and would include royalty percentages:

Home hardback sales
Export and special discount hard back sales
Home trade paperback sales
Export and special discount trade paperback sales
Publisher's cheap editions
Editions licensed for manufacture to another publisher
Royalty-inclusive sales
Mail order sales
Premium sales
Book clubs

How to Handle the Fear of Rejection Slips

Experienced authors frequently suffer rejection and they've got slips to prove it (I've got a pile a mile high :-)

The best way to handle this is to maintain a middle course on book proposals: don't get overexcited on acceptance and never become unduly depressed over rejection.

You reckon your text is brilliant, you've hit the target dead center, you've answered the WIIFM question and you are certain of its bestseller potential.

But the publisher doesn't agree...

Accept it. Publishing houses invariably know whether or not a book will sell in given market conditions - and if it goes pear shape, they and not you incur financial loss.

So what to do?

Hold on to your manuscript (you'll find out why in a minute) pick yourself up and start immediately on the next project.

Why It Pays To Listen Even When You Think They’re Nuts

My first published work became a bestseller as soon as it hit the bookshelves back in 1995 and it has been topping the lists ever since. Lucky you, some might say.

By and large the content has remained unchanged (apart from essential updating) and although ten years is a fair old run, what goes up must eventually come down.

So with that in mind I approached my publishing house with a suggestion for a commemorative 10th anniversary edition; new chapters, new cover, new cosmetics, new typesetting.

They loved the idea but balked at producing a new edition per se.

“Why?” I said, “It will start the ball rolling all over again.”

“No it won’t,” they said, “It will kill the golden goose.”

And so instead the publisher opted for a reprint dressed up as a new edition: new imprint, new chapters; new cosmetics, new typesetting – but no new cover; only a subtle color change to preserve continuity.

I thought they were nuts but they were right of course; stop supplying bookstores with a bestseller for five months and you risk consigning it to oblivion for evermore. And a block on supply there must be to allow the trade to dispose of existing stock.

That’s the price you pay with every new edition.

My author copies duly arrived and. I was well pleased with the new production and contacted the publishing house to express my satisfaction, intimating only mild concern over the lack of a new cover design.

“Oh, there will be a new cover,” they said. “We’ll incorporate that on the next reprint of the reprint – now that the link has been maintained”.

My idea was good but I hadn’t thought it through.

The publisher house did.

The 4th edition of “Starting Your Own Business” (How To Books ISBN 1845280709) hit the bookstores worldwide mid-April 2005 – and the reprint complete with brand new cover is due out in August 2006.

How to Craft a Series of Bestselling Titles from a Single Topic

During the past ten years I have authored seventeen traditionally published niche non-fiction books, all of which (save one) have achieved bestselling status in their respective genres.

Here’s the thing though; I have used only 2 topics to produce 16 bestsellers.

How do you do that; craft a series of titles from a single topic?

It’s a little-known technique that dates back to the dawn of literature and is used by all bestselling authors either consciously or unwittingly.

And when you know the secret, you can also use this technique in writing fiction.

It has a lot in common with what the late great Alfred Hitchcock called the ‘McGuffin’;
the singular device he employed in all of his screenplays.

Hitch reckoned that everyone is looking for something whether they are watching a movie or reading a book and when you discover what people are searching for in your particular niche you will be well on your way to writing a successful book in record time.

And when you’ve done it once, you can do it all over again - as many times as you like.

Although considerable mileage still remains in the 2 topics I used to produce 16 bestsellers, I decided eighteen months ago to research a third topic for its McGuffin potential and the result was “Your Retirement Masterplan” (How To Books ISBN 1857039874) published in October 2004.

This title currently ranks No.7 out of 3328 competitive titles on Amazon.co.uk and is due for a 2nd upgraded edition in February 2006; to be followed by “How to Earn Money in Retirement” (How To Books ISBN 1845281128) in April of the same year.

But the McGuffin on this third topic is only just starting to bite…

I also have signed contracts for these forthcoming titles:

”Maximising Mindpower to Enrich Your Retirement” – Publication date 2007

“Give Your Mind a Daily Workout in Retirement” - Publication date 2008

“101 Retirement Holiday Options” - Publication date 2008

“101 Projects to Spice Up Your Retirement” - Publication date 2009

“101 Online Venues for Stimulating Retirement Interests”- Publication date 2010

“Chronicling Your Lifetime Achievements in Retirement” - Publication date 2011

“Achieving Your Greatest Successes of Retirement” - Publication date 2011

Have you guessed the secret yet?

There is no end to its power in producing bestsellers and if you would like to incorporate it in your creative writing, you will find out how in the website featured below.

Increasing Your Earnings from Rights and Translations

On top of your royalties from home and export sales you could also receive (as, when, or if you qualify) additional remuneration from rights and translations as indicated below.

1. Editions licensed for manufacture to another publisher
2. Single issue or one-shot periodical rights
3. Translation rights
4. Sound broadcasting rights
5. Merchandising rights
6. Educational reprint rights

On (1) to (6) you could earn up to 50 per cent of the net amounts received by the publisher.

7. Royalty-inclusive sales
8. Mail order sales

On (7) and (8) 7.5 per cent of the net amounts received by the publisher.

9. Book clubs

7.5 per cent of the net where the publisher manufactures the book at a price inclusive of royalty.

Or...

Up to 50 per cent of the royalties received by the publisher where the transaction with the book club is on a royalty basis.

http://1st-creative-writing-course.com

Negotiating an Advance

Your initial yearly/half yearly accounting statement will make reference to an advance payment but whether you receive one or not will depend on either of two factors.

Whether you have been offered an advance.
Whether you successfully negotiated one.

You may be automatically offered such a payment if your work is of such outstanding merit that the publisher is anxious to have the title on its list and doesn't want to risk the book slipping away to another house. In that event you would normally receive your advance in three phases.

1. 35 per cent on signing the contract
2. 35 percent on delivery of acceptable text
3. 30 per cent on publication

If on the other hand the memorandum of agreement makes no mention of an advance, you could endeavor to obtain one through negotiation. There's no harm in asking - they can only say 'no'.

http://1st-creative-writing-course.com

Highlighting Your Residual Income Opportunity

Here is how your residual income opportunity starts as you set out to write for profit:

When your book is published the royalties from home and export sales will home in at around 10 percent unit.

Say it quickly and it doesn’t sound like much but these basic royalties soon mount up to provide you with a handsome return year after year.

When you start to hit reprints and multiple editions it gets even better and that's when your residual income opportunity starts to take off.

But why settle for nugatory rewards when you can have it all?

There are other avenues open to you if you know how to milk them.

- Editions licensed for manufacture to another publisher
- Single issue or one-shot periodical rights
- Translation rights
- Sound broadcasting rights
- Merchandising rights
- Educational reprint rights
- Royalty-inclusive sales
- Mail order sales
- Book clubs
- PLR (Public Lending Rights)

Take translations for example: My first bestseller “Starting Your Own Business” has been translated in French, German, Spanish, Romanian, Italian, Hindi and Urdu.

Researching Your First Writing Project

This is a core objective and it's where your work begins in earnest.

Without efficient research you are blowing in the wind and your proposal for publication is unlikely to touch the vital nerve that captures the attention of commissioning editors.

For many established authors researching is often the most fulfilling aspect of preparing a given topic for publication.

As you research you will find yourself uncovering diverse strands of critical new information that will tempt you veer off in other rewarding directions or even on occasion, change direction completely.

CHARTING THE ROUTE BEFORE YOU RESEARCH

Let’s imagine you are intent on producing a resource manual notionally entitled How to Become an Expert on Light Bulbs (you wouldn’t, but let’s just hypothecate for illustration purposes). Make out a list of the pivotal aspects of the subject. It might pan out like this.

o Light bulb sizes
o Shapes
o Power requirements
o Manufacturers
o Types of fitting
o Novelty bulbs
o Industrial bulbs
o Lighting for sports stadia
o Christmas lighting
o Stage lighting
o Street lighting
o High intensity
o Low intensity
…and so on

Now compare this listing with your list of what you know, what you don't know, and annotate each item on the list accordingly; tick for 'yes', cross for 'no'.

1. Connect to the Internet and open your browser - choose a search engine and type in ‘light bulbs’.

2. Start collecting links for everything you come across.

3. Divide the links into categories and sub-categories.

Finding out what you need to know online shouldn’t prove too difficult but you will cut down considerably on research time if you follow the directions outlined in the next section.

HOW TO CONDUCT INTENSIVE RESEARCH ONLINE

For best results the bulk of your research ought to be conducted online, but unless you know the shortcuts to effective cyberspace fact-finding, you could spend hours on end in fruitless searches.

It's very easy to stray when you are using the search engines because loads of similar looking topics and dissertations abound on the Internet.

But with your goals properly defined before you go out searching, you will be able to focus on exactly what it is you are setting out to uncover.

Comprehensive briefings are available in three authoritative reports you can read online or download for free.

How to Conduct Research on the Internet

How to Conduct a Search Online
http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/dept/ivc/library/how1.htm
Internet Research - Finding Hard Data
http://www.bugsoft.com/research/index.html

Having absorbed the valuable information contained in these reports, I recommend you restrict your searching to http://www.google.com. Use the ‘advanced search’ facility and you’ll reduce your workload by several hours.

For some of the items on the list where you thought you knew it all, you'll learn more; for those you marked with a cross, you will locate answers to further enhance your grasp on the topic.

NICHE RESEARCHING

An excellent method for conducting online niche research is to use the keyword suggestion tool provided by http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/

At that page, enter a keyword relating to the potential niche feature you have in mind, and the tool will present you with the number of times that keyword was searched on via the network. It will also show the number of times related keywords were searched on.

This will give you an indication of what your possible niche bears for interest.

If you find a decent amount of interest, say a few thousand or more combined monthly searches on keywords directly related to what you want to write about then you may be in a solid niche. Keep a file of the results of your keyword research.

Next, go to your favorite search engine and search on some of those same keywords. Keep a file of these results too. The information you uncover will be invaluable.

As you can readily appreciate, developing your concept requires some legwork and even after you have completed the research, you still have to write your book. But as with all good things, you get out of it only what you put in.

These online models for effective research can yield excellent results when done properly

Choosing a Topic for Writing a How -To Book

Review in depth the intelligence you have accumulated over the years and you will have no problem in identifying where your primary source of expertise lies.

However, before cementing your choice of a topic it will be necessary to run the data through several tests to confirm its suitability as the subject matter for your first how-to book.

1. Will the topic be convincing enough to warrant widespread appeal among devotees?

2. Will you be capable of confirming its validity and expanding on received data?

3. Will you be able to convert your expertise into a teaching module?

4. Will the accumulated material manifest a disposition for regular updating?

5. Will the topic have the potential for subsequent editions?

6. Will it have the propensity to spawn more books on disparate aspects of the subject?

7. Will you tempted to abandon the project if your topic has already been covered?

You won't be able to resolve all of these questions right now but you will be by the time you've finished studying my famous writing course.

Work at Home and Make Money Writing for Profit in Your Spare Time

When you work at home to make money writing for profit you do it in your own time, your spare time.

What spare time do I hear you yell at me?

Time is what you make of it and if you try (really, really try) you can always allocate a little for yourself to express self-initiative, develop your great extra income idea and make money writing.

You might even qualify for some public sector assistance by way of government grants.

There again there might be multiple mental blocks standing in your way; blocks like…

o Too busy
o Too old
o Too young
o Too tired
o Too retired
o Too broke
o Too redundant
o Too rejected
o Too much to hope for…

TOO BUSY?

Well, you know what they say: if you want something done in a hurry; your best plan is to ask a busy person.

If you’re a stay-at-home mom looking after the kids, create a slot, exercise some self initiative and become instead a work at home mom.

TOO OLD?

Says who?

You’re only as old as you have a mind to be.

Develop your great income idea and work at home writing for profit.

TOO YOUNG?

Rubbish. Go for it. You may not get a second chance to work at home.

TOO TIRED?

Then book a wake-up call. Creativity is happening all around you.

Subscribe to one my creative writing courses and start writing for profit.

TOO RETIRED?

Then start all over again, get back in the driver’s seat and use your accumulated expertise to work at home and make money writing for profit.

TOO BROKE?

Then enquire about government grant assistance for people who want to work at home.

TOO REDUNDANT?

So you’re finding it difficult finding employment?

Then do something else meantime, draw upon your expertise, spend the time developing your great income idea and make some money writing for profit.

Subscribe to one of my creative writing courses and work at home.

TOO REJECTED?

There’s only one way to get rid of it.

Forget it - but only after you’ve forgiven those who are doing the rejecting.

They don’t know your side of it and even if they did, they probably wouldn’t understand anyway.

Pick yourself up, evaluate your expertise and set about making money writing as you work at home.

TOO MUCH TO HOPE FOR?

Can’t be or you wouldn’t be still reading this…

The Perfect Solution for Publishing Your Creative Writing Output

It has never been easy to have your creative writing output accepted by traditional publishing houses.

Witness these famous masters of fiction who were all obliged to take the route of shelling out hard cash to have their debut novels printed.

Alexandre Dumas
D.H. Lawrence
Edgar Allan Poe
George Bernard Shaw

Gertrude Stein

James Joyce

John Grisham

Mark Twain

Mary Baker Eddy

Rudyard Kipling

Stephen Crane

Upton Sinclair

Virginia Woolf

Walt Whitman

William Blake

Zane Grey

John Grisham, incidentally, sold copies of his first novel “A Time to Kill” out of the boot of a car which at the outset was his sole 'vehicle' for distribution…

And it is getting tougher all the time – even for established authors.

It can be doubly frustrating when you’ve written something that you are desperate to see in print; something you want other people to read.

There is always recourse to the cut-throat vanity publishing houses of course but I wouldn’t take that route come what may.

Imagine my surprise then when I stumbled across the perfect solution for publishing creative output that you can’t place elsewhere.

I have a string of traditionally published titles currently in circulation but I have an equal string that I have never been able to get into print.

That is until now…

The little known but highly reputable POD (print on demand) source I have discovered requires an initial membership fee that covers unlimited titles.

In a nutshell: Instead of requiring an initial order of 10 or 100 books, they send you the first copy of your book free and then print-on-demand and ship when we receive an order from you or your customer.

This website is well worth a visit especially if you are still trying to get your first book into print.

You could have your own library up and running in next to no time.

How to Top and Tail Your Book To Ensure Publication

To top and tail your niche non-fiction book is to equip it with a preface (or introduction) and a persuasive sales 'blurb' for the back cover.

Neither of these tasks is to be undertaken lightly and you would do well to delay execution until after you have completed the text.

Do not be tempted to take the easy way out by padding them with extracts from the book. That simply does not work and in any case no publisher would allow it.

The preface and the back cover blurb each have a distinctive function to perform and their respective contributions are germane to the success of your work.

http://1st-creative-writing-course.com

Deciding on the Right Time to Write

Some people find it conducive to confine their writing to the early morning when the brain is refreshed, alert and eager to start work; others set an allotted time during the day which they stick to regardless of demands on their attention, while a fortunate few (who only ever seem to write when the muse is upon them) find that as soon as the pen is uncapped or the word processor switched on, their creativity is automatically unleashed.

Whichever path you follow, try to write a little every day and never allow a week to pass without some progress; otherwise you may start to lose interest, or worse still, lose confidence in your ability to complete the project.

Individual circumstances also have a bearing on allocating time to write. If you are out working 9-5 on weekdays, then early morning and/or late evening may be your only options. If you are a homemaker, retired, or currently unemployed, you may be more relaxed about choosing times to write.

In general terms though, the best advice anyone can give is to go with the flow and never try to force creativity. Write when you feel like writing don't write when you don't feel like it.

http://1st-creative-writing-course.com

Establishing the Depth of Your Knowledge Before You Write a Book

Never take for granted that you already know enough about your special subject to fill a book.

No one is that clever.

Spend some time testing out the depth of your knowledge by making lists of what you know and what you don't know.

Take particular note of those areas that require substantiation or where you are lacking corroborative detail.

Confirming validity and expanding on information

This is where you start your research and it is a vital task. Most of what you need you will find online at home or in the free-to-use 'active learning' centers provided by your local library where you can double up by accessing appropriate hard copy references manuals.

http://1st-creative-writing-course.com

What You Gain from Constant Application to Creative Writing

People who make a practice of writing about what they know quickly discover that they know a lot more than they ever imagined about matters they thought they knew little or nothing.

Consistent application draws on all three levels of the mind and opens up the labyrinth of the subconscious, providing a steady stream of factual information and hitherto untapped ideas.

You will experience the magic of this phenomenon for yourself when you decide to take the plunge and embark on your first assignment as a niche non-fiction writer.

Enjoying Your Own Company Produces Better Work

It's a fact. If it does not faze you to be totally on your own for an hour or two every day you will discover that indulging in introspection and cultivating innate intuition comes easy.

As a result, your output will rapidly increase and improve in quality.

This is not to imply that gregarious people don't make good writers.

They do, providing there is no necessity for a backdrop of din and chatter while they work.

Why Writing Part Time Works Best For Some Authors

Most established authors start out writing on a part time basis and while many go on to make a career of the art form, others find it more convenient to continue writing part time for a number of reasons, including:

1. They are at liberty to pursue other commercial interests.

2. They prefer to use their creative skills as an outlet from workaday pressures.

3. They derive therapeutic benefits from part time writing.

4. They find it hones their expertise in diverse directions.

5. They reckon it adds to the quality of life.

6. They enjoy financial advantages from a second income.

Developing Your Own Slant on a Prescribed Topic

The ability to develop your own particular slant on a given topic contributes to bestselling potential.

Everyone has their own way of looking at things, describing how they work and what makes them tick.

When Napoleon Hill and Clement Stone got together to produce the famous self-help book "Think and Grow Rich" they took the timeless and much worked concept of mind over matter and subjected it to the twist of two disparate viewpoints blending together to yield a rich harvest.

Interestingly, although both names appear on the original cover, there was only one author, Napoleon Hill, the architect of the slant that transformed their work into a bestselling book spanning eight decades in worldwide bookstores.

If you can find an unusual angle, a different approach or a hitherto unworked technique for your topic, you are on the way to developing the unique proclivity that will set your work apart from similar tomes.

Why Planning and Persistence Pays Off for Creative Writers

Persistence pays off in all walks of life because it utilises innate powers to inject increase in all that you undertake.

Once you are clear in your own mind what it is you want to achieve, be prepared to persist until you have accomplished it. There is no point in putting thought, work and effort into developing a plan if you fail to carry it out.

The real achievers in life are those ordinary people who go about their business quietly and efficiently, ticking off each goal on the list as it is accomplished.

Plans don't just fall into line because progress never just 'happens'. You have to make it happen through persistent effort and as you persist you will find that inspiration flows more easily, your command of the project is enhanced and your writing skills improve effortlessly.

http://1st-creative-writing-course.com

Why Not To Be Dismayed If There Are Lots Of Competitive Books On Your Subject

What if your topic is already listed in dozens of publishers' catalogs - and not just once but twice or even three times?

What if some of these titles have already knocked up multiple editions?

Rejoice.

There is documented evidence of consumer demand for your topic.

Self-help publishers are always on the lookout for acceptable alternatives to top selling products.
It's a case of market forces and the in-house competition factor coming into play; like several leading brands of detergent powder emanating from the same manufacturing source.

The Mission Statement that Strikes a Timeless Niche

The mission statement for Wallace D Wattles’ 1910 classic self-help book is brief, succinct, and prophetic. It reads, "To inspire, encourage, and exemplify abundance thinking and a strong sense of self-worth for people of goodwill everywhere."

Wallace chose his topic from what he was witnessing all around him: poverty and despair brought about by a vicious spiralling downturn in the economy. The title for his first and only book (he died shortly after publication) is The Science of Getting Rich.

It strikes a timeless niche because everyone everywhere wants to learn how to get rich. Nowadays there is a web site entirely dedicated to the book www.scienceofgettingrich.net where visitors can download the hard copy version for free or purchase it in audiotape format.

Never take for granted that you already know enough about your special subject to fill a book.

No one is that clever. Spend some time testing out the depth of your knowledge by making lists of what you know and what you don't know.

Take particular note of those areas that require substantiation or where you are lacking corroborative detail.

CONFIRMING ITS VALIDITY AND EXPANDING ON THE INFORMATION

This is where you start your research and it is so important that the whole of the next chapter is devoted to the subject.

Most of what you need you will find online at home or in the free-to-use 'active learning' centres provided by your local library where you can double up by accessing appropriate hard copy references manuals.
