Today, becoming an author is super simple. Anyone can do it!

E-books are electronic books that range in length and topic. They are usually sold (some are free) and downloaded online. Because there is no printing involved, readers have instant access to the book, and can save it on their personal computers.

So what does that mean for you, an entrepreneur? Unless you’re known in your industry, you could stand a little publicity. E-books are a great way to become a known expert in your field. And if you can make a little money from the sales of your e-books, so much the better!

For instance, if you sell golf clubs, you might write your e-book on how to choose the right club to improve your game. Remember that people who buy e-books want a benefit. Why should they buy your book? What can you teach them that they don’t already know?

Once you have your book written and presentable, it’s ready to sell! There are websites that help you promote the sale of your e-book for a modest commission. You can also post the book on your website and send emails promoting the book to your current client database.
