    Hi,

    Basically you're going to go through these steps:

    • Find a profitable niche. Always start there, you don't want to write about a topic that nobody cares about.
    • Research the information you need (unless it's one of your passions and you already know a lot about it, that's actually the easiest way to go for a first book),
    • Actually write and properly format your book,
    • Find a place to sell it (like Amazon Kindle for example but there are other ways to use your e-books, I don't know what you're actually intending to do).
    It's easy to learn about each of these points, all you need is a little time, the information is out there. I have actually written a book about e-book creation and formatting myself, as for the rest you should have no difficulty finding a few blog posts or even books that will show you how to do.

    Do you use Facebook ? Then you can make money just by inviting people to a Facebook group ! It's called the Instant Income System. How cool is that?

        Hi,

        I'll send you a PM as I don't want to look like I'm doing any kind of self-promotion in the forum.

    OldLodgeSkins gave you some good ideas above. I just supported a client in getting this done; however, she had someone else write the book and she referenced several products that she is going to sell on Amazon as PLR products. So she can have several streams of income via the one book she is selling.

    The great news - she doesn't have to stock the products - she used a drop shipper for the PLR products and gets solid commissions on them as she is an Amazon reseller - not an Amazon affiliate.

    It is a solid book that was well written. It cost about $300 to get it written but it took only 5 weeks and it was excellent work.

    PDF's are easy to make and best of all ITS FREE! I can't tell you how long I looked around for a word to PDF converter and how much I spent and time wasted on crappy products for it.

    Simple answer: Download OpenOffice.org it is just like Microsoft word and tada its got a little button at the top PDF just press it and it will convert your word doc into PDF format links intact and all.

    Spend the most of your time searching for the right niche! Get this wrong and everything else is surely a waste of time!

    Its all about trial and error at end of the day...

    Changing an ebook to PDF is very easy. If you have Windows 7 just save your document as a word document when you are writing it and after you have proof read it and know there are no mistakes in it just save it as a PDF or use Open Office and click on the button that says PDF.
