Write an Ebook and Become a Published Author on the Web

Are you an aspiring writer and have long been craving to see your work published? Worry no more as this is probably the best time to take a plunge into the ebook writing business! With the current economy on a frantic merry-go-round ride, you can become a published author on the World Wide Web! Ebook writing can help you fulfill your dreams of seeing yourself as a successful writer and published author while at the same time connecting with your readers all over the world.

Let me tell you though, it’s not as simple as some make it out to be. There’s a lot more than that meets the eye especially if you want to establish your expertise and credibility, which of course leads to sales. If it’s the first time that you are writing an ebook, then your focus should be on each step you take to make your ebook your best work as you move forward. Even if you are an experienced writer or published author and have decided to write an ebook as a change, you know how important it is to get the end product just right. Here is some helpful advice that I hope will help you to move in the right direction:

Determine the purpose of your ebook What suddenly made you want to have your own ebook published? Is it the moolah that you want flowing in on a regular basis? Or is it the writing bug that has caught your fancy? Whatever the reasons, jot them down somewhere. Think really hard about why you want to write an ebook because these reasons may turn out to be your motivating factors when you are unable to see the finish line.

Hand-pick your niche or topic

Count on your expertise on the niche or topic that interests you or the one you feel most comfortable writing about. Don’t write on a niche because you’ve heard you can fetch millions in it. Instead write on a topic that you believe you can add something of your own, something that your readers can benefit from. What makes the difference here is that your interest gets driven by your passion and your readers will notice this in your writing.

Establish your credentials

While writing your ebook, see to it that all facts and points are well established and supported by your own experiences. That helps you relate with the audience on a personal level, and in turn your readers will also be able to confide in you and relate to you. Don’t fill your ebook with fluff; that can get your audience distracted as they may lose interest your work and you. Remember, your goal is to become a published author. An author is seen as an authority figure on their chosen topic! When you write an ebook, you want to do it with the same determination that you would if you were seeking traditional publishing.

Cross the finish line

Top off your ebook by packaging it so it comes out looking great! This means find a professional ecover designer to create a fabulous looking cover for your ebook. When you put it up for sale online, you want to grab your potential readers’ attention and make them rush to click that Add to Cart button on your sales page.
