How to Make Sure Your Ebook Will Sell Before You Write It (Excerpt from "How to Write an Ebook in 3 Days, Market It & Start Getting Sales within a Week -- Really!")

This is a pullout from "How to Write an Ebook in 3 Days", which can be found here on Barnes and Noble. It is the portion that discusses how to conduct research that will tell you — definitively — if your ebook will sell BEFORE you write it.

If you follow the guidelines outlined here (and produce quality content, of course), you will not only avoid spending a lot of time writing a product that won’t sell,
you’ll discover lucrative niches you can write on and literally start building an information-selling empire.

This is how I conduct research before I start to write an ebook. And FYI, ebook writing is practically my full-time profession. I've published more than 50.

BECOME A PUBLISHED AUTHOR BY THIS TIME NEXT WEEK

By next week this time, you could have finished your first ebook and be well on your way to getting your first sale.

It’s not difficult at all, but it does require work, However, don’t take my word for it. In October 2010, my company, InkwellEditorial.com, sponsored its first ebook writing and publishing tournament (10 days). On day 7, one participant got two sales. Another participant rang up 12 sales in 12 hours!

Just think, 10 days from now, you could be a “published author.” The full ebook tells you everthing you need to know to accomplish your ebook writing goals.

MAKE YOUR LIVING AS A SELF-PUBLISHED AUTHOR

Imagine being able to write for home. You’ll be able to walk your kids to the bus stop; shop when the stores aren’t crowded; and attend more family functions because
you don’t have to request days off.

As a writer, you can work wherever you can take your laptop. This is the lifestyle ebook publishing allows you to have.

I work from home (or wherever there’s an internet connection); travel at will; and live part time in Jamaica (I’m American) — all because I have the portable lifestyle
of being a self-published ebook author.
