By making an eBook, one can get started these days with an Internet based business fairly cheaply.  Ebooks let you to deliver the same high-quality data that normal books offer, but without the costs of printing, or shipping.

Many new, online marketers make the error of NOT researching how to create a GREAT eBook because they are so cheap to create. The publishing of many bad, hard-to-read eBooks is the result.  Many so called Guru’s sucker new aspiring internet marketers to simply hire out the writing for their eBooks.They may be counseled to have someone write their eBook who is NOT an expert on the topic.Most people don’t know how to interview and find these high-quality writers, although this can sometimes work if the person you hire is an exceptional researcher and skillful writer.

Since writing an eBook consumes a lot of time, this can also be a problem.Often, time is short for new, online marketers.Success may be determined by how quickly eBooks are created, since they haven’t started making enough profit to quit their day jobs.

Let me share a strategy with you for creating amazing eBooks.Ebooks that will be read and loved by your customers , and eBooks they will tell their friends about.You can also create your eBook in less than a week with a shortcut I will show you.

The first method I will show you, for generating an eBook, is for those people who are already the thought leaders or experts on their topic.As an example, potty training puppies have been wonderfully successful for you as a professional dog trainer. You don’t have the time or writing expertise to write the book, but you want to share your potty training technique with the world in an eBook.

I would suggest, in this case, that you break up your puppy potty training method into 10 parts.  One part could be about equipment people need.  One part could be about how to choose a puppy, etc.Then, start creating an outline in a word processing file using your 10 categories.You might need to list sub topics to cover each section , if necessary.  Your goal in doing this is to create as many talking points as necessary.In this outline, you should include every point you want to talk about.Each part of your outline should be kept short and easy to read.You will be able to follow the outline you have generated in the next step .

Once you’ve created the outline, I would recommend purchasing a digital recorder.  You’ll then want to sit down with your recorder, and your outline and start talking from your outline.  Make sure to talk to your recorder as if they were one of your clients and you were instructing them about every point in your outline.Validate, or confirm, all of your points by using real life examples or studies.Your expertise, personal experience, and your voice will have created an audio file.

Take your file to a transcriptionist who can turn it into text, once you’ve recorded all your ideas into the recorder.  Now, you have an audio and text version of your expertise that can be easily passed along to a freelance writer (with no expertise on your topic) who can sit down and edit your thoughts into a high-quality eBook.You want the transcript to read well, so make sure your freelance writer takes the time to edit it.You are creating about 20-25 pages of text for every hour you talk into the recorder, so you will want to keep that in mind.You would need to make sure you have four hours of audio content recorded for your freelance writer to work with, if you wanted to create a 100-page eBook.

It is now time to lay it out in a Word document in a way your readers will enjoy and that looks professional, once your freelance writer has edited the transcript.

This would then be the time to insert pictures to your book.Try to find a picture for every talking item you have in your outline, as a best practice.Not only do pictures add to the perceived value of your book, they also help communicate the message to your reader.They will also add length to your eBook.

You can find cheap, stock photography at a great place called istockphoto.com.com.A deposit of about will be required once you sign up for an account.  Spending should get you all the images you need as well as the reprint rights for those images.Just don’t go borrowing other people’s images!Some people will resent it and could wind up pressing charges.

Once you have your images, it’s time to add them to your document.A word processor, like Microsoft Word, can make this easy to do.  Try to add a picture to every page of the document.

Once you’ve put your pictures in and trifled around with your layout, simply have your file turned into a .pdf file and you’re done.An eBook has been created by only spending a few days preparing an outline, recording a presentation, and laying out a few pictures.And, you were able to outsource the heavy lifting, without sacrificing quality, to a freelance writer!
