Here are the first two tips about writing an e book. They can apply to writing of any kind.
- What e books do people want to buy?
- You need to know how to write those e books!
If a subject you want to write about is so exciting, that is all well and good, but if the readers don't feel the same way about it they just aren't going to buy it. How do you find out what is selling and what isn't? One resource to consider is CBMall 'the net's #1 info product site.' Their directory is filled with thousands of e books. The listings are in order of popularity so you can see what writers are writing and what people are buying. Try using their search function to see how the subject you really want to write about is doing.
Research these top sellers. Find out what you have in common with them. Do they write with humor? Do they write in a dumbed down way that can appeal to those with little expertise in the subject? Determine if your skills and subject matter can compete.
A good resource for those of you who think no one is going to want to read what you have to say or about what you know is Make Your Knowledge Sell! Hundreds of people are making money writing and selling their e books. So can you. This book might be just what you need to get you going.
