One of the best ways to build your online income is by writing and distributing ebooks. Ebooks can be a very effective tool for marketing your business, and they can also be big money-makers. Ebooks are also a useful information resource.

There are a few things you should remember if you are going to write an ebook.

1. Just as your ezine should not be a giant ad, nor should your ebook. Be sure to fill it with useful and valuable information.

2. Your ebook should be compiled in a simple, yet professional design. Make your ebook look good, but do not overdo. Make sure people can maneuver around the book with ease.

3. Take the time to do the research and write an effective and informative ebook. Your ebook will be circulating around the web and will say a great deal about you and your business.

4. Ebooks are a great giveaway for your visitors and/or subscribers. Everyone is looking for useful information which can be found in ebooks.

5. You might want to use your first ebook as a giveaway. This will entice more people to read it, which in turn will get more people to see how good it is. When you do write your first ebook to sell, you will have already established your reputation for writing useful and informative material.

6. You do not have to be a writer to write an ebook. Just as with articles, all you need to do is gather, organize, and outline your information. Always add resources and links when applicable. A good ebook for giveaway can be as simple as a collection of your articles or the articles of other authors.

7. You do not need any expensive software to make your ebook. Simply write your ebook in Word or a similar program and then convert the file to pdf. PDF can be read on all computers - as opposed to exe. You can find more info on this in our free tutorial on making money with ebooks.

8. After you finish your ebook, you must start promoting it. Add it to your website, put it in your email signature tag, submit it to as many websites and directories as you can find, add it to your article resource box, announce it on message boards and email discussion lists where allowed, make a separate web page for it and submit the page to search engines, add it to your ezine welcome letter as a free bonus. The possibilities are endless if you use your imagination and let as many people as possible know about it. Be sure to encourage people to also give it to their subscribers/visitors as a free gift.

9. Make sure you have contact links listed in your ebook so that people can easily contact you or visit your website. Also, be sure to have your ezine and subscribe address listed.

10. Everyone will find ebooks useful, not only for finding information, but for promoting their business and website - as well as establishing a solid reputation. They are also big moneymakers - and just about anyone can write and profit from a carefully and effectively done ebook.

Make it fun and interesting, and believe in yourself. You will produce a very successful ebook!
