| ![]() Do you need an e-Book to grow your list, or to sell as a stand alone product. Or how about a Physical Book for instant credibility! Fellow Warriors, As many of you know, I have worked as a freelance writer for many years. In that time I have learned what it takes to make a product that you will be proud to put your name on, and I have published books offline as well as online. If you are in any doubt as to why you would want your own ebook, read on:
As an affiliate marketer you will forever be building another person's business. Why not start building your own? Read on to see what your fellow Warriors have to say... ![]() Quote:

What You Need To Do
What You Get
How Big Are The Books The size of the Report/eBook is up to you. I can create a small 3000 word report, a 5000/10,000 word eBook or a full 20,000 word e-Book.
If you have any specific needs besides that of a normal e-Book I will be happy to discuss them with you. I have published works on Amazon, Clickbank, Paydotcom, as e-Books and paper-back books. Some in my name and some not, so ask if you need assistance in determining the best plan for your new book. | ||||

Hey Colin, I must say that you have that Kidd Rock look going on in your avatar. Question : I am assuming that you will do the research for what the ebook entitles. Will you also do the keyword research or is this something that I would provide? The reason that I ask this is that I have a niche is very broad and I want to catch the best keywords to test the market with. If testing turns out well then there will be several ebooks to follow. |

Hi Deckman, I get that KidD Rock thing all the time, and especially when walking through town. I can pick the title for SEO purposes for you if required. People usually have their own ideas and rituals for proper keyword selection, and all swear they alone are correct, so I am a bit wary. LOL I am happy to pick the title based on my version of keyword research but would need to know whether you intend to work a small niche market, or take on the larger topic. Let me know if you have any other questions. Hi Money2K - PM replied Cheers, Colin Palfrey |

I have done a lot of keyword research myself as well as use microsoft's oci but the more I do the more I get scattered so this is why your service appeals to me. I have heard mixed opinions about having your main keyword in your title when writing articles but I feel that its very important with an ebook. Before I sink a lot of time and $ I will focus on the smaller market and see how well it sells and then have it rewritten to hit the more competitive keywords. With you being in a position that peps are bringing you keywords, this has got to spark a lot of new ideas with in your own mind so I gotta ask this question : Are you in to marketing ebooks? | |

Just letting you all know that another great thing to do with an original eBook is sell it as a physical book on Amazon. Anyone interested in this approach, just let me know. Cheers, Colin Palfrey |

Hi Kendimann, I am comfortable in virtually any niche, as research is a large part of ghost-writing. A sample of my work on Amazon can be seen here: Amazon.com: How to build an Electric Double Bass/Cello: A Walk-through of the Electric Double Bass Construction (9781449559748): Colin Palfrey: Books And I used a picture of myself on the cover for exactly this reason LOL Cheers, Colin Palfrey |

Hello Mr. Palfrey. Are you the same author that wrote the "How to be a $40...?" The text and syntax appear the same. William |

Hi William, I don't think so but I would need the title as I have written so much it the past I have lost track of most of it. Also people regularly change titles as they experiment with the best keyword choice. I actually bought a book the other day, only to realize I had ghost written it under a different title. LOL Cheers, Colin Palfrey |

Hi Scorcher, It doesn't work that way. It costs $10 ish to get it published, and they deduct printing costs as they sell. Its called "print on demand" and even the ISBN is free. You only make $5-$10 per book sold but don't pay any costs for printing, shipping etc and Amazon promote it for you Cheers, Colin Palfrey |

| Bonus now added. As so many people are asking how to get their new books on Amazon, I am going to give out a short report explaining the process. This won't be a long report, just a brief "how to" explaining how to get your books on Amazon, and how to promote them. The costs involved of following the advice in the guide is $10 to list the book, and $10 to promote it. As I can only write so fast, not many people will get a copy of the guide so the market won't get flooded. Hope this helps everyone. Cheers, Colin Palfrey |

Dear Mr. Palfrey: Thank you for your reply. Can I ask you for any suggestions on marketing my e-book. It is on the dating theme but is written by two professionals with experience in the area. The market looks crowded with a lot of junk, but not sure how to get my book noticed. I am writing articles, posting on blogs, I put in on Kindle and Lulu and so forth. I am confident enough in the material that once it gets noticed, it will sell. Should I hire a professional book market company? Thanks. Just a newby trying to break in. The book is entitled "A Perfect Match Girlfriend: Step by Step" and it is not a joke and there are no sexual themes in the e-book. Thank you for your time. |

Hi Kevin, I don't require an outline, but it does help to produce the book you actually want. As long as I know exactly what you are looking for it is fine, but I will pester you for clarification. The physical book route does wonderful things for your credibility within a niche. Though I do recommend a small picture of yourself in the corner of the cover, not the full cover as I did in my example above. I had a point to prove with that book, hence the excessive branding. LOL Cheers, Colin Palfrey P.S. I am at GMT +0- so it is nearly 12 here and I'm done for the day. All further PM's will be answered in the morning. Cheers!! |

Colin, I would like to put in an order for an e-book. Unfortunately, I'm not too sure how long it will be, and I'll give you some creative license on the length (as long as it doesn't get too expensive). Please PM me and let me know how I can pay you. I can give you a down payment if you would like, to get started... and if it goes over that amount, I can send you the rest after the book is complete. Thanks. Brad |

Hi Colin, I thought it might be nice to thank you publicly for your honesty regarding your ability to meet my deadline... Folks, I set a short dealine, and Colin was up front with me. Rather than over book, he passed up my project simply because he did not want to promise something, then break that promise. Having experienced a number of writers go AWOL mid project, I just wanted to say RESPECT to Colin. ![]() Some might think this a big deal, but I just wanted to say that his integrity is appreciated, and I look forward to working with him when dealines aren't so tight. Cheers. Sal |

I just received back my article's that I requested from Colin and I must say the quality is outstanding. You can tell that he does alot of research and is very detailed with his articles. All I gave him was titles and keywords and he did an amazing job formulating articles that are very information rich and even sparked some new ideas in my mind. Im looking forward to using Colin again in the near future for some upcoming projects. Thanks again Colin |

Thank you for the respect Sal, it is something often overlooked and much appreciated ![]() Aerion, its always nice to know the articles I write are appreciated ![]() Just letting everyone know I am currently booked up until the 7th of March, so will be taking orders only for products to be completed after that date. I don't outsource anything, and do all the writing and research myself so can only take on a limited amount of work. Cheers, Colin Palfrey |

Asked Colin the other day if he could write me an ebook and he told me he was fully booked so put me in contact with another ebook writer who so far seems very promising and has some previously good work. He actually went out of his way to help me! Much appreciated and good luck with getting more orders. Mark Blaze | |
