Pointers For Outsourcing Ebooks
http://the-real-way.com
Ebooks are starting to come of age. It is now becoming a more practical option to sell your knowldge or niche book on line than it is to sell it through a conventional publisher. There are on line publishers like Amazon that will upload your ebook, help you market it, deliver it to your customers, track sales, take the money and pay you the balance.
You can to set your own cost for the book and you will receive about 70% of the total revenue. Dedicated ebook readers are making the ebook even more available. For example, say that you are travelling and you finish your book, you might find it a problem to buy another book to read for a while, especially if you are abroad.
Not so with contemporary ebook readers. You only go online with their built-in WIFI facility and download a different one. Or you could download twelve so that you do not run the danger of being without. Ebooks are cheaper than conventional paper books and more readily accessible. Many readers will also hold more than 3,000 books.
So, this is a manner to go for publishing a book, but what if you cannot write well enough? What if you have immense concepts for books - fact or fiction - but you merely cannot write them down? There may be a number of reasons for this. Perhaps writing in not your specialty; maybe English (the biggest market for books) is not your mother tongue; or perhaps you merely do not have the time.
So why not outsource them? Numerous books supposedly written by well-known sports personalities were in fact outsourced or written by ghost writers. That is nothing new and no cause of shame. It is only horses for courses.
This really is a business in a box. Let us look at some scenarios. If you think that the current fad for stories on macabre topics will continue, why not think up a few scenarios and pay for five short stories that you can compile into one ebook? Or look on line, find out what individuals are having problems with and commission ebooks to solve those problems.
You could have ten books for sale on Amazon within a month offering revenue for years.
So how do you go about it? Well, first of all, someone has to have the ideas and that has to be you or your family or friends. Then you have to outline those concepts for the writer to be able to follow. Then you need to state how long the author has to complete the project; how many words it must contain and what standard of English you need.
Then Google ''ghost writers desired' or something similar. There are many sites acting as go-betweens and many solo writers as well. Give them the specifications and carefully decide on your writer.
Make sure that all intellectual copyrights are signed over to you on payment and then go over to Amazon, open a publishers account and follow the instructions. You can be publishing within 20 minutes and earning within a few days. It is truly a business in a box.
