5 Steps in Publishing and Selling Your First E-book
What is an e-book?
An e-book is simply a digital file that contains content that entertains,
enlightens or inspires your reader.
It can be 5 pages long or 2500 pages long. It can be a complete book that
uses all of the old fashioned elements of book publishing or an E-book can
be a truly creative piece of work.
An e-book could be a speech, a series of speeches, a poem, a series of
poems, recipes or series of recipes and "how to instructions. E-books can
also be short stories like Stephen King's "Riding the Bullet."
E-books can contain sound, video and animation or they can resemble a
typical paperback book.
Look up on Amazon.com and check out the top 100 books and see if you can
tie in your e-book to a topic area of one of the bestsellers.
Write it just like you would write a letter. You do not need any special
formatting.
2. Save your e-book as in Microsoft word as a doc. File...text file...and
html file

sample chapter and then up-load your e-book to Infopost.com
