Get Paid To Write A Book Ebook
Title: Get Paid To Write A Book
Description:
Would you like to GET PAID to write a ebook?
If you're thinking this is plain fantasy, think again. All professional writers get paid to write their ebooks.
How? They sell their ebooks via proposals before they write the ebooks.
What's a ebook proposal?
A ebook proposal is a document which convinces a publisher to buy your ebook before you've written it. Your proposal says, in effect: "Hey, I've got a great idea for a ebook which lots of people will want to buy. Do you want to publish it?"
Think of it as a combination brochure and outline of your proposed ebook.
You CAN sell your ebook the easy way --- sell a proposal
It's easily possible to make a fast $10,000, or even a six figure amount. You could even make seven figures --- over a million dollars for twenty pages of text.
It sounds incredible, but a fast seven figures is certainly possible if you have a HOT, hot idea or have had an experience that hundreds of thousands of people want to read about.
In his 2001 ebook about writing nonfiction, Damn! Why Didn't I Write That?, author Marc McCutcheon says that it's not hard to make a good income writing nonfiction: "you can discover the trade and begin making a respectable income much faster than most people think possible".
Do you need experience to sell a ebook on proposal?
No! You just need a good proposal. :-)
7 Days To Easy-Money: Get Paid To Write A Ebook by Angela Booth shows you how to go from idea to completed ebook proposal in seven short days.
Imagine --- in seven days, you could be sending your proposal to agents and editors!
The e-book includes everything you need to know. Just follow the easy steps. It even includes a sample proposal, which got a contract from an agent immediately it was sent out.
You can do it too!
Here's what you'll learn in 7 Days To Easy-Money: Get Paid To Write A Ebook by Angela Booth:
Day One: What's a ebook proposal? Develop an idea for your ebook
Exactly what a ebook proposal is, and an EASY way for you to come up with more saleable ideas for ebooks than you could write in a dozen lifetimes.
Day Two: Develop your idea and assess the market
Here's an excerpt from Day Two:
Dispelling myths and a word about confidence
If you're feeling nervous now that you're about to start this project, relax. Tell yourself that you will take it step by step. All you need to do is work at it steadily, a word, sentence and paragraph at a time, and you will complete your proposal, and then when you've sold the proposal, you'll complete your ebook using the same easy-does-it method.
While we're at it, let's dispel a few myths.
Myth One
It takes a special talent to write ebooks.
It takes persistence. There are as many different kinds of writers as there are people. Some are young, some are elderly, many are in-between. You don't need any special writing talent to write ebooks, nor do you need to be highly educated. Many successful writers have never completed high school. If you can write well enough to write a letter, you can write a ebook.
Myth Two
Writers starve in garrets.
Many professional writers make incomes that would make doctors and lawyers envious. Most make reasonable incomes. If you decide to make a career of writing nonfiction ebooks, the major benefit is that if you choose your ebook's topic with care, your ebook can stay in print for many years. For each year that your ebook's in print, you get two royalty checks. Let's say that you write two ebooks a year for five years. At the end of the five years, if your ebooks all stay in print, you'll be getting ten royalty checks a year. These ongoing royalties are your nest-egg, profitable investments in your future.
Day Three: Write the blurb and outline your ebook
The "blurb" is the back cover material for your ebook --- the selling points which will get people to buy the ebook. If you write the blurb before you write an outline, you're guaranteed not to wander off the track as you write your ebook.
Writing the blurb will keep you on-track as you write your proposal and your ebook. I've included two sample blurbs from my published ebooks to show you how to write a selling blurb.
Day Four: Research your ebook proposal, and flesh out your ebook's outline
The fast and easy way to research your proposal - you may not need to do any research at all. You may already know all you need to know.
Day Five: Write your proposal query letter, and submit it to agents and publishers
How to write a SELLING query letter, with sample letters which have SOLD ebooks.
Day Six: Write the proposal
The fast and easy way to write your proposal --- everything you need to include to make sure that your proposal SELLS.
Day Seven: Write the sample chapter. Revise your proposal
Seven days, and you're done! How to write the professional way, and a step by step easy way to revise.
7 Days To Easy-Money: Get Paid To Write A Ebook also includes a complete, selling proposal, which got a contract from the first agent who saw it.
