Simply stated, an eBook
is a book-length publication in digital form. An eBook may
consist of text or images or both, published on the internet
and readable on computers, ebook readers, PDA's, and various
other electronic devices. It could be an electronic version of
a printed book or may be created digitally in the first place.
Selling eBooks online
is a hot opportunity as a home-based business these days;
actually online eBooks are about the trendiest thing going on
the World Wide Web right now. One can try to sell eBooks for
profit or offer them free to people visiting a website in
order to promote a business and/or capturing leads by asking
those wanting to download to complete a form with their
contact information.
However, it's not
necessarily as easy as it sounds because it requires solid
writing skills aplus the seller needs to know a bit about
internet marketing as well. Still, some authors are making a
sizeable amount of money every month by publishing and selling
eBooks online. The potential is there provided you know how to
market your eBook. It is extremely crucial that the author
writes for a specific target audience. The key to success of
an online eBook is knowing who is going to be interested and
where to find them online for marketing purposes.
