Writing My Own E-book

[muzamilsa]

People can you help with this i am planning to write a e-book on self Improvement and then i would sell it online is it a good idea will it sell online is it worth giving time to the book and sell i have some blogs on self help and people love them but not all

I have dropped my idea on selling gem stones due to the tuff competition.

So your solution to avoid the competitive world of selling gem stones was to enter the world of self-development? That's like trying to induce cancer to rid yourself of a cold.

If you're selling your ebook to an English speaking market, no, you should not proceed. I checked out your blog and the gramatical errors are a tremendous distraction and would be enough of an obstacle to ward away potential buyers.

I recommend you invest your time on mastering the fundamentals of written English before attempting to sell and ebook. Or outsource the writing of the book and sell it from a better written website.

I have to agree with the previous poster -- it was hard enough just getting through your question (more punctuation please). However, you could always commission someone else to write it. I have impeccable grammar and writing skills -- just pm me. You can pay me in gem stones, just like in a video game

srry that post was written by me in a hurry, I didn't bothered to check the grammer mistakes also i didn't go through the proof reading, my english grammer is good for writing a book

No, it wasn't your post here but your blog that is written very poorly. I never critique or criticize forum posts - I realize people are trying to get thoughts out quickly.

Keep working to improve your writing and that will pay big dividends in the future.

Muzamilla, don't let anyone tell you that you can't write a e-book. Just understand you can't throw it together like you did your blog. Take your time use your own ideas and your e-book will be a success.

Thanks for your reply & help i am writing things on daily basis and reviewing it carefully, as i don't want to sell a book which has grammatical mistakes.

What kind of topics will your self development e-book cover? This is an enormous area so I recommend you approach it in one of two ways:

1. offer a broad introduction to personal development, referencing quality books and resources like this site, and easing people into the concept (something for beginners)

2. focus on a specific niche and cover that area in depth, pitching yourself as an expert (if this is the case)

There must be hundreds of e-books on personal development and unless you are already a well known author or speaker on this subject, you won't have an audience. So try to approach it with a unique angle that separates you from all the others.

As far as writing and grammar goes, I suggest you write your e-book as if you were talking to a friend. Write in short sentences and keep it simple. When you're finished, get a proofreader and editor to check your e-book and sales page. I promise it will be worth it.

Then look at selling your e-book through relevant websites, blogs and online merchants like Click Bank. If you can, offer it for $7 - it's a small amount to ask people to part with, and you're likely to make up for it in sales volume.

Best of luck!

Self improvement is a very broad topic.


If you expect to sell any copies of it, make it more specific and focused on only one topic - that way you can target that specific market for it, and you can tell them what specific results it can get them.
