Dear ebook pros, may I borrow you?

- Provide valuable content and not rehashed garbage.
- Be honest.
- First eBook, give it away and don't be spammy.
- If readers like it and they got something from it, they will keep you in the legit column.
- Fail forward fast. Don't try to make everything perfect.
- Just do the best you can and learn from mistakes.

Hope this helps,
Artemis

You have basically two options right now with ebooks.
Create it as a PDF document and sell directly using any or all of the standard IM tricks,
or go the Kindle route. The real trick with Kindle is to first make the book stand out as much as possible in their listings (great, easy to read cover, good description, using keywords, etc) and then drive traffic to your Kindle offering.

Kindle has a very comprehensive online guide to creating Kindle eBooks

Personally, I say concentrate first on how and where you're going to sell it, before even thinking about product creation.

I see this a lot - a lot of people create products but have no idea how to sell them.

Instead do it the other way around, find the audience, the traffic and then create a product which solves a burning problem for them.

Guys what kind of kindle marketing software do you recc?

To answer the OP's question, sure, you can send me a PM and I'll either help you out or point you in the direction of somebody who can (depending on niche etc).

Frankly I'm worried that you've started product creation without knowing how you're going to sell it. It sort of looks like you haven't researched the marketing possibility fully yet?

With product creation it's best to start with market research and writing the sales copy (doing that latter step sharpens your mind as to who, exactly, the product is aimed at and how it can help them).

Anyway, let's see what you've got!

give the ebook away a free promotion for the first 5 days.
affiliate links are sketchy with KDP. not something I would practice
ebook cover is essential to your success

LOL. Yeah that really made my morning and got the cobwebs out of my head
Thankyou Sir !!

Haha thank you all for your wonderful responses. I'm handling some day-job stuff at the moment but will be back shortly.

Cheers!

If you would like to release the book outside of Kindle as well (recommended), it would help you to get a proof of concept before you actually write the book. To get an idea of who your target audience is and how to go about finding them and marketing to them.

In other words,

1.) Plan out which keywords you would like to target to market your eBook. These keywords will also determine how you rank in the search engines, among other factors, so this part takes detailed planning.

2.) Create a pre-sell landing page that details the highlights of your eBook and gets people interested in buying it. A good copywriter is gold in making this happen. You don't need a finished eBook to create an effective lander to pre-sell your book. Let visitors know the eBook will be released on X/X/XXXX in the future, and to sign up for your list to get notified of its release and/or to get discounts etc.

3.) Get the best possible artwork created for your book (cover, etc) if you haven't already.

4.) Put it all together and market your (upcoming) book. With a good marketing plan, you'll get an idea of what is and what isn't working before you invest more time writing the book. You'll also get real-world proof of the demand for it, and you can decide from there whether or not you want to invest more time into the idea.

You'll also obtain valuable information that you can use to tweak your book, or insight to create even more projects.
