To be a successful ebook publisher you have to get one thing in your head!
YOU ARE NOT WRITING FOR YOURSELF BUT
FOR THE PAYING PUBLIC!
If you insist on writing an autobiographical account of your days as a country baker and expect to make money hand over fist you will be sadly disappointed! However should you apply your knowledge to an ebook on seasonal speciality breads you will no doubt find a much more enthusiastic market!
GIVE THE PUBLIC WHAT THEY WANT AND
THEY WILL BUY!
Of course it isn't quite this simple, but I'm sure you are getting the idea. Ebook writing and selling isn't about YOU it is about your BUYER!
Successful ebook publishers will always have their buyer at the forefront of their work. They will have thoroughly researched the market for their ebook idea before they even touch the keyboard.
They may very well have a list of eager buyers waiting to purchase the ebook!
Most ebooks retail somewhere around 10 - 20 or if you prefer $18 - $35 and some, depending on the subject and any bonus offers included, for a lot more! Even if we stick to the low end of the scale, just 10 sales of a 10 ebook will make you 100 ($180) and realistically, you should make a great deal more if you have done your research correctly and written the ebook which solves your readers' problems.
The other point to remember is, unlike traditional print publishing, ebooks are very cheap to produce and you get to keep all the profits, unless you opt to participate in an affiliate marketing programme which is very advantageous to ebook publishers, but the subject for another article!
Hopefully I've now convinced you that your ebook idea is vital to the success of your publishing venture! Once you have made the decision to write an ebook, spend some time brain storming ideas. Use your own hobbies and interests as a starting point, talk to your friends and family and find out what they like doing and what they have problems with.
