When it comes to writing an ebook, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of tips, tricks, and advice that can be found online. It seems like everyone knows how to write the perfect ebook in record time, yet so many people are still struggling to get their first ebook actually written. One reason that so many people have problems completing there ebooks, is that they ignore the fundamentals. Here are three fundamental ebook writing tips everyone needs to know.

Don’t Get Fancy

Ebooks are simple tools, there is no reason to complicate them. Some people will spend hours trying to add nifty borders, images, and unique formats or colors (both background and text). None of these will add much if any value to your ebook. In fact, it can actually detract from your content. You should want your readers to focus on the content and avoid the bells and whistles if they do not add anything of value to your reader.

Along the same line of thinking, it is important to manage your whitespace. It can be difficult or even overwhelming for your readers to actually read your ebook if there is not enough whitespace. Whitespace makes people feel comfortable and makes your content easy to read, so take advantage of it.

Create a Simple Structure

While your ebook is meant to be read, some readers will simply scan it and only read a paragraph here and there. The best way to make sure that people scanning your ebook will read as much as possible, create an easy to follow structure that highlights important points. The easiest way to do this is with the use of headings AND subheadings. Headings will let people know what areas of the ebook might interest them, and subheadings will ensure that they will be able to find everything that might interest them with ease. By using this simple structure, people who would rather scan your ebook than read it, will still read a larger amount than they otherwise would have. Additionally, by using headings and subheadings, you will automatically create additional whitespace.

Profitable Practice

Some people are simply not natural writers. In fact, not many people are. Fortunately, there is way for you get practice writing ebooks and profit at the same time. If you have looked into outsourcing, then you may have noticed that getting an ebook written can become expensive. Additionally, it can be frustrating to practice and practice without getting any profitable results. One way to get the practice that you need, plus create profitable end-products is to hire a freelancer to write a set of articles, or to find a good source of PLR articles. These articles can then be used for article marketing, website content, blog content and the like. You can also use these articles as a framework for your ebook. Use them as a guide or even use them as part your ebook. By having professionally written articles as a guide, you can quickly practice writing ebooks, while still generating a profit.

These three fundamental ebook writing tips that everyone needs to know, will help you create ebooks that are easier to read, higher in quality, and even help you practice, while also making a profit.

1. You can find a legit work at home job like Project Payday or CashCrate. I will go into more detail about these options in the next section of this article.

2. Build and optimize niche blogs and make money from Adsense clicks, affiliate programs, etc. I will also go into depth on this make money at home option as well.

First, let’s talk  about the work at home jobs like Project Payday and CashCrate. These, by the way, are the only 2 legitimate “get paid to fill out free offers for companies” ones that I am aware of. Project Payday and CashCrate are both free to join and free to fill out offers for. When you complete the offers, you get paid.

The downside to these is that they aren’t very passive. If you don’t fill out the offers, you can’t get paid. It’s like a job, but you do it based upon what you want to do.

The good part about Project Payday and CashCrate is that you can start making money right away. If you work at it like a job 8 hours a day, you can make a couple hundred dollars per day. You can do the work anytime day or night, so it’s easy to fit into a hectic schedule.

If you prefer the option to make money at home with niche blogs like I do, then you will need to read Nomad’s Guide to Make Money Online for all the ins and outs of how this is done. This Nomad’s Guide ebook is based on the teachings of Grizzly Brears and is the closest thing to a shortcut that you will find for those of you who are ready to get started with this method of making money.

The wonderful part about niche blogging is that it becomes quite passive after you get your blogs set-up with Adsense or however you choose to monetize it. All you have to do it keep adding more – and that’s only if you want to. I have hundreds of these types of blogs that earn me a full-time income online. That is how I make money at home and how I am able to continue being a digital nomad. I highly recommend this make money online method!

The first and cheapest way is to regularly change the thank you page URL of each of your products. The reason you want to do that is because people intent on stealing your stuff will search out these URLs and pass them along to others. There is nothing you can do to stop this unless you go to a paid solution. But changing your thank you page URLs will stop a good deal of theft.

The next thing you can do is password protect your PDFs or create executable ebooks that are password protected. There is a problem with this method however. It’s very annoying to your legit customers. Also, there is nothing to stop them from passing along the password to another person.

Another thing you can do is go to a scripts directory online and find one that actually protects your products from being downloaded illegally. The problem with these free scripts is that they usually don’t come with documentation and they do have some serious limitations.

The best solution that I have found is DLGuard. It is without a doubt as close to perfect as anything I have found. It’s not going to stop somebody who bought your product from sending the actual PDF to another person, but as far as somebody accessing your product off your own server, it is virtually close to impossible.

So if you’re looking to protect your products from theft, check out the link in my signature. I promise you, you won’t be sorry. I use DLGuard to deliver all my newer products and am working on getting my older products on the system too.

It’s THAT good.

What’s the hardest part about Internet marketing?

If you said, not knowing what you’re doing…buzz. Sorry, wrong.

That’s only true at the very beginning. Sure, nobody knows what they’re doing when they first start out. Heck, I didn’t know what I was doing when I first started either. But I learned.

However, even with all the knowledge, you’re still not going to have success unless you do one very critical thing.

Know what it is?

Time’s up…Buzz.

Okay, here’s the answer…take action.

I don’t care how much you know. Unless you actually sit down and do the things that you need to do, you’re not going to have any success at all.

Okay, some of you are probably saying, “Duh! Well, of course not.” Ah, but do you REALLY understand WHY this is such a huge problem? I mean why is it that so many people don’t take action?

I’m going to explain why with a very specific example. After you are done reading this, you will TOTALLY understand why this process is so hard for people.

Let’s say that you want to create your own ebook. It doesn’t matter what the topic is. It can be anything at all. Okay, let’s take a look at what’s really involved with doing this.

Well, for starters, you have to create the book, which means tons of writing and tons of research in order to get the book written. But that’s only part of the problem.

A good marketer knows that in order to sell this ebook, he has to build an opt in list of prospects. To do this, he needs to create another book to give away as a free report. Plus, he needs to create a squeeze page in order to get opt ins. Then, he needs to create an autoresponder series of relevant content in order to persuade people to buy.

On top of all that, he has to create a sales page to actually sell the ebook from. And these can cost a fortune if he can’t write sales copy himself. And finally, if he wants to establish a web presence, he should also have his own full blown web site…another pain in the butt to create.

As you can see, this is a ton of work. And we haven’t even gotten to the part of actually advertising your product. But why is it that people don’t want to do this? It’s not so much because of the work itself, though that is a part of it. It goes deeper than that.

See, when you’re confronted with having to put THAT much work into something, in the back of your mind, you’re always thinking, “What if I do all that work and it’s a flop?” The thought of having to put in all that work for NOTHING is what scares people the most and that is why they don’t do it.

Truth is, if somebody did all the above for them and said, “Here, take it” they’d at least give it a shot. They’d have little to lose by putting out a few ads. If it didn’t sell, so what? They at least didn’t waste all that time creating something.

Well, when I realized this, I finally decided to do something about it. I’ve created a test product to see how it does. It’s called, very simply, “Business In A Box” and it has all the things I discussed above. All you need to do is take it and upload it to your server. Yes, you will need to get your own hosting and domain. That’s the only thing I don’t provide.

Here is what you get in “Business In A Box”.

Squeeze Page for collecting opt ins
Free Report to give away to these opt ins
52 week autoresponder series to follow up with opt ins
Product to sell
Sales Page
127 page web site loaded with content. (No, you’re not seeing things)

The only thing you have to do is just upload the sales pages, squeeze pages and site and get an autoresponder (I recommend Aweber) to send out the followup series to.

If you want to get more detailed information, here’s the web site:

I’ve sold a few beta copies and you can read the testimonials on the sales page itself. There are more but I didn’t include them all because, quite honestly, you wouldn’t believe what people had to say about this offer.

Why am I making it? Well, I look at it this way. I’ve already done the work by putting all this together so why not give others the chance to use it as well? So few are going to take action anyway (even doing all this for them) that I’m not worried about there being a glut on the market. Besides, I’m only going to let so many of these go before I pull this page down. So don’t be surprised if you go to it today and find it gone.

Anyway, here’s the site again.

Put “Business In A Box” in the subject

There is nothing I won’t answer. It’s not like it’s an ebook of secrets that I have to keep from you. I could tell you everything that’s on every page of every site and it won’t matter. You’ll either have to get it or do it yourself, which is what I am trying to save you the trouble of doing.

So ask anything you like. I’m an open book.

In the meantime, you now know what the hardest part of making money online is…taking action.

And believe me…for most people…it’s the deal breaker.
