The key factor in the online business efforts of many Internet marketers is the sale of e-books. Most Internet marketers will have sold e-books at one time or another.
Currently,most e-books are issued in PDF format, suitable for the ubiquitous Adobe Acrobat reader. This makes perfect sense, almost everyone already has a copy of Acrobat on their hard drive. Even if somebody does not have a copy of this program, all they need to do is download Acrobat free of charge from Adobe’s website. Whether you have bought PLR rights or have produced the e-book personally, publishing it should be a fairly simple process. There are lots of programs which are capable of producing a PDF file for you. After that, all you have to do is find a route to market in order to publicise your e-book. The majority of marketers choose to use Clickbank for this.
You may be interested to know that there is a new publishing technique available for e-books which you may have been unaware of up until now. Right now, the Amazon Kindle e-book reader is a hot, “must have” gadget. It’s a very nice bit of electronic gadgetry. The fact that virtually every new e-book reader which demonstrates any potential at all is immediately named the “Kindle Killer”, emphasises the fact that the Kindle is not only the market leader, but the benchmark against which all new readers will be measured. The thing to note, from a marketing perspective, is the fact that more people use the Kindle than any other kind of e-book reader.
Apart from the technology of the hardware itself, one of the main factors in the success of the Kindle thus far, has been the vast library of Kindle books available on the Amazon website for readers to choose from. Currently, there are over 420,000 titles available – and this number is expanding at an average rate of 500 new books daily. Which is all very interesting, but what is the impact on your Internet marketing efforts? Simply put, as well as providing a new method of reading books the Kindle also offers new publishing methods.
As long as you have an Amazon account – which is free (if you’ve ever ordered anything from Amazon then you [have one already) - you can quickly and easily publish your own Kindle e-book. All that you need to do is to produce your book in HTML format, and then upload it to Amazon’s Kindle store. In a matter of minutes your book could be on sale by the world's biggest bookseller.
You can set the price of your e-book at whatever you wish. However, if you choose a price between $0.99 and $9.99, you will keep 70% of the selling price of any books which are sold. A small fee is applied to cover delivery costs. Typically this is just a few cents and is set by the size, in kilobytes, of the e-book. Your fee may be somewhat less than you could make by selling a $97 e-book, nevertheless, the possibility of a large sales volume in conjunction with the fact that the process is one hundred percent free, might make it an attractive proposition for you.
The Kindle is often presented as a future of reading. Clearly this can be applied to both books e-books. Publishing your own Kindle book could be the ideal opportunity for you to be involved in, and to profit from, a new technology in its nascent, developmental phase. So why not consider a Kindle edition for the next e-book that you plan to publish?
