Selling your own eBook

So you are considering selling an e-Book, eh ? Sounds quite a business. To start off, I would like to advise you to use Open Office it's a free open source software, that'll allow you to publish your e-book in various formats, like you make a simple file and you can convert it into pdf and many other formats, sound flexible enough, right ? One of the best things about open office is that it's .odt format is supported on almost all the sites like lulu.com, amazon.com and so on. You can count on open office as your best e-Book writing and publishing tool, you can create headings, generate your e-Book's Table Of Contents etc. So, we're done with the software part, now to sell an e-Book I would consider writing about 20-32 pages for a minimum sized eBook and eventually the price does depend on the content of the book but generally it should be around US$2.99 to about US$4.99 for a book of about these much pages, you know there's a lot of competition out there. Now you might be wondering, “ Do I need an ISBN ? ” , well it's your choice but let me tell you that you can sell without an ISBN on almost all sites like Amazon. Try to keep your eBook well organised so that other people don't go through the difficulty of navigating through your eBook, who would want difficult times ? Make sure that you give the reader's wanting to read more, when you make the previews, don't just snap in a random page from your eBook but rather put up the pages that keep them wanting more so that they eventually buy your book. Don't forget to have a relaxed self-check for any errors in your book, you could also fancy getting a proof reader here. They say that, the first impression is the last impression, make sure that the cover page of your book is nice-looking and the preview is awesome, now you can relate the saying to the words said, people generally judge a book by seeing it's cover page and it's preview, pricing too comes but you need to take care of each and every thing. Don't forget a catchy title, you can't get their attention if your book doesn't show up in the search results. Make your description to about 70 words, but be careful, people are the most sensitive when they read an eBooks description. Don't forget about fonts, this is the area where people don't pay attention, no one reads something that looks scribbled or untidy instead they prefer a crisp and clear text, so give them the best font, it should be readable of medium size, not be too light or too dark, why not use the internet and do a little research here ? Lastly you need to give your buyers the best customer service. So, I wish you luck with selling your eBook .
