How to Start a Business Selling E-books to Moms

Ebooks are fast becoming an in-demand product on the Internet. Found on many websites, written by authors of all walks of life and on many different topics, Ebooks can be downloaded for a fraction of the cost of traditional print books. If you are an online business offering products or services to moms or even if you’re new to online business, you can sell EBooks to this already huge and growing population on the Web.

The use of Ebooks is unlimited and because there’s no need for keeping a large physical inventory, you can sell them over and over again and adapt them to your customers’ needs. In short, this is an inexpensive business to start and has a high profit margin.

Why Moms Love Ebooks

In online communities everywhere, there are moms who enjoy learning new things and improving the lives of their families, by visiting websites, libraries and schools. Ebooks can be a great way of sharing that knowledge to this growing market of readers in a convenient format.

Not only are E-books easy to access for quick reference, but they are portable with the advent of Internet-ready cellular phones and iPods. A mom can locate an E-book on any topic of her choice, download to her portable device in a matter of minutes, and take it wherever she’d like to enjoy it later.

E-books can be read over and over again and they can be stored for later use. E-books are environmentally friendly; no trees have to be killed in order to print out books that will sit around on people’s bookshelves and collect dust years after they are read. And that’s a relief to many moms who are environmentally conscious and probably already have enough clutter in their house…books in digital format help keep things clutter-free.

How to Research Your Topics

Over the last five years, moms have contributed much to the Internet as a whole. Many moms have created an online presence on social networking sites, specialty forums, and personal blogs. These moms are a perfect source of research on topics you can create ebooks about. Plus, they are perfect candidates to help promote and sell your ebooks for you. Simple set up an affiliate program that allows them to earn a commission on the sales they refer to you.

Sell and Give Away

You can use Ebooks to build your business in many ways. One, as we’ve discussed is to sell your Ebooks, but giving away Ebooks for free can also boost your sales.

For example, a business selling beauty products can publish a free Ebook about how the company’s makeup can be applied to achieve the most desired looks. Or a natural products store may want to offer an Ebook explaining the origins and uses of the organic ingredients – which the store happens to sell.

People are starving for information, solutions to problems and more. Find out what they need and deliver it to them.

Creating Your Ebooks

Publishing Ebooks is not as hard as it may seem. Topics and resources can be found by a simple search online or can be drawn from personal experience. Ebooks are generally around 25-100 or so pages in length and offered in an Adobe Reader format.

But if you don’t want to or don’t feel you can put the ebooks together, you can hire a ghostwriter or…

MYTH: The Work Is Shoddy…My Contractor Doesn’t Know What She’s Doing

Have you every hired someone to do work for you and what was returned to you was complete garbage?

Sure, I have too.

Does that mean the contractor didn’t know what she was doing?

Well, in some cases yes…but often it goes deeper than that and it always comes back to communication.

I’ve been meaning to write on this topic for quite some time and it’s something I talk about at Outsourcing Sweetie, but recently this issue came up in some online coaching I was doing with a client. I thought it was a great example of the need for communication, so I’ll share it here. She needed a website header created and she requested one. She said it was for XX website and gave a simple instruction on what look she was going for.

The graphic artist didn’t ask any further questions and set to work. Obviously, at that point, the artist could have inquired further, but sometimes when working with graphics it’s just easier to give a client something to look at, so you can go from there.

Well, the first graphic produced was not to her liking. She simply said it was pretty, but quite plain. She asked if the artist was planning on adding something and that she was looking for a more professional look.

Again, not much detail. Instead, she might have looked at and gave instructions on things like:

• Color: Did she like the colors? Did she want one or all of the colors changed? To what?
• Text: Did she want additional text? In the original instruction, she didn’t even say what text she wanted, so the artist simply put the website name on the header.
• Font: Did she like the font? What about the size? What about the positioning on the graphic?
• Images: Did she like the images used in the header? Was there something in particular she’d like to see?

The more you can guide your contractor to what you want, the better. They aren’t mind readers and they need to know your vision. Tell ‘em exactly what that is.
