Do's and Don'ts of Creating a Free Ebook

5 replies
I'm looking to build my list. If the report is free, you really need to have a good reason for people to care enough to download it. Even your free product has to solve someone's pain. I might have made a mistake and hired someone to write for me before finding this pain to solve.

It is not so much a mistake as me being on a serious deadline. I have less than a month to finish putting things together.

    I am also in the process of creating my "free ebook". I have written most of the content already but I really have no clue how to turn a bunch of articles/chapters into an actual ebook. Any advice would be appreciated!

    Good luck with your ebook, sorry I don't have any advice for you!

      put them into a word doc, format them up pretty, and PDF them. If you dont have a PDF converter already, there are free ones. There are even free software you can design your front cover with. Or just use photoshop. Or pay someone - I think there is someone here on this forum that does ebook covers for around $27 a pop ... but cant recall where I saw this. Anyway incorporate the photoshop ebook cover at the front of the doc, and then PDF the whole lot and load it up to your website!

      If the pains in the niche are not obvious, then you don't really know your niche or it is not one to monetize on.
