Ever want to share your expertise on a particular topic and create and sell an eBook to an interested audience? Now anyone can learn how to make an eBook for free – and you can even sell it with zero overhead, too!

Here’s how to make an eBook:

1.) Pick a niche. Do some competitive research on Amazon, ClickBank, PayDotCom and other sites to see what kind of information people are paying for.

2.) Conduct some keyword research to see what questions people have about this niche topic. Use keyword tools like Google’s External Keyword Tool, but also visit forums for the niche to spy on the consumers and see what their needs are, just as I did when I discovered many people were searching for the phrase “how to make an eBook.”

3.) Create your Table of Contents and begin writing based on the information you discovered. If you need research materials, use the Internet or visit your local library.

4.) Once your product is complete, go to Adobe’s online site and register for five free PDF conversions. This will take your Word document and convert it into a PDF for you. Zip the file up once you’re finished.

5.) Create a sales page on a social network like Squidoo, Hub Pages, Google Knol or a WordPress blog. Since you’re sticking to zero-cost options, you won’t have your own website to sell it from. Talk about the benefits this eBook can deliver to your customers.

6.) Have your customers pay you via PayPal and once you receive payment, send them the zip file from your hard drive.

This is the free way for how to make an eBook, but it’s much better if you invest at least $6.95 for a domain and $9.95 for monthly hosting and take your eBook sales to your own website.

The reason is you can automate everything when you have your own domain. You can have a payment button that you create via PayPal, which will deliver them to a download page once they’re made the purchase. You won’t have to manually deliver anything to your customers – it will all be o autopilot.

I teach people how to build an eBook empire at http://www.guide2ebooks.com by walking them through each step – from the conception of an idea to the final stages of promotion and expansion. You can read through the page to see what it offers and then download the first chapter at the bottom of the page absolutely free! I show you free and paid methods for how to make an eBook so you can stick to your own budget.

Tips on Term Paper Writing

Writing a good quality term paper is not a simple thing, there you have to give more attention and effort in research and outline of the writing. Here I’m try to say some tips on research writing for the new writers. The basic structure of every research writing like research paper, thesis and term paper are same, but there are difference in the way of writing and outlining.

Now we can discuss about the term paper writing. There are two main things ie, Make an attractive outline for your writing and the actual stage of writing.

The General way of making an outline for a term paper;

  • Title
  • Table of content
  • Introduction / Abstraction
  • Description of topic
  • Discussion
  • Conclusion
  • Reference
  • Appendix

Before start writing, you must select a topic – but remember that the topic must be narrow and interesting. The narrow topic helps to do research in depth.

The most common steps in term paper writing;

  • Select topic
  • Do research on the selected topic
  • Make rough notes during the research
  • Collect as much information you need to start writing
  • Write your first version of term paper
  • Revise your term paper and make necessary changes
  • Make a final version of your custom paper

During the research you can get information about your topic from various resources like library books, magazines, online articles, etc. Actually the research writing starts from finding and choosing a topic. Here you can get more detailed steps of writing stage and outline stage. Usually most of the students have trouble in writing a custom paper because they don’t have the idea of scheduling entire work. Many of them give their patience only in researching; they are not at all bothering about the format of the paper. You can approach this method for term paper writing.

How to write book proposal?

You are a first-time writer and you have just finished writing your book, your first book, your dream, your ticket to success, fame, and glory. You feel terrific and on top of the world, don’t you? I know. I have been there, being a writer myself.

But hang on. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that your job is done. It’s only half done, or maybe even less than that. What remains to be done is the critical part of finding a publisher for your book. To do that, you have to write a book proposal, and this article will help you with just that. So here are the steps of writing a book proposal.

  1. Identify the publishers that you want to send your proposals to.
  2. Go to the websites of these publishers and read the guidelines for manuscript submission carefully.
  3. Typically, different publishers have different guidelines.
  4. But most publishers will want a brief synopsis of the book, information about you and your past writing experience, and 2 or 3 sample chapters.
  5. Some publishers accept proposals of books that are complete or close to complete. They do not accept proposals of books that are in the very early or early stages.
  6. Some publishers do not allow simultaneous submissions. Typically, these publishers will be big and good publishers, and if they don’t allow simultaneous submissions, chances are that their turnaround time will be quick too. So it might be worth it to send your manuscript to them and wait till you hear from them. If you get a negative response, you can submit to other publishers.
  7. Some publishers do not accept unsolicited manuscripts and book proposals. Check if this is the case with one of the publishers that you have identified, and if yes, do not send your book proposal to them since there is no point in doing that.
    1. Write a good synopsis of your book.
    2. Organize your thoughts.
    3. Write about your book’s subject, theme, plot, and message, and why it will appeal to the readers.
    4. Write a few things about your writing style.
    5. Highlight the main target audience of your book.
      1. Write about yourself. This should be fairly straight-forward.
      2. Write about your past writing experiences. This should be fairly straight-forward as well.
      3. Mention all the items that you have attached with your book proposal.
      4. Close the proposal with a cheerful and optimistic “Hope to hear from you soon.”
      5. Restrict the overall proposal to at most two pages only.
      6. Choose the best two or three chapters from your book to send along with the proposal.

 

If the publisher wants you to send a hard copy to them, take a printout of the letter, sample chapters, and make sure to include a SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) in the proposal.

If the publisher accepts the book proposal by email, then just ZIP all the contents in a ZIP file and send it to the appropriate address.

That’s it! You are done! Follow these guidelines and your chances of getting a positive response will increase dramatically.

Of course, it has to be said that, ultimately, the response is likely to be positive if your book (as judged by your sample chapters) is good. Most first-time writers get rejected because the quality of their English is just not up to the mark. Being a publisher I have had to read such bad language that it is unbelievable that the writers actually believed that their proposal would be accepted. Even if the books are published, they have very little chance of selling the first edition. Sometimes, if the language is acceptable, the subject matter or the plot is un-cooked or half-cooked. So make sure that you do your absolute best with your book before you submit it to a publisher. Get help from professional editors if you have the means. Even if you find their charges a bit too high for your taste, good editors are worth their weight in gold. They will point out mistakes that you wouldn’t and couldn’t have imagined.

I have written enough. I will now sign off wishing you all the very best for your book proposal and the book.

No surprise to those of us who still work in the direct mail world, but the high cost of commercial mailing lists, print production and almost annual postage hikes tends to force creative testing to the back burner. That’s why, if you’ve checked your marketing mail lately, you’re probably seeing more streamlined packages with few components as compared to earlier days when an envelope was stuffed to the flap with all sorts of inserts.

There’s a time for the stripped down package – a strong letter and reply device many times is all that you’ll need. But sometimes, you want the extra push, the additional voice that a buck slip or lift note offers — even if it means a little extra cost upfront.

Here are some ways to use lift notes and buckslips in your next promotion:

  • Summarize your offer, restate your primary benefit in a different way. So if your main letter is heavy on the emotives, perhaps your lift note could take a more rationale approach or vice versa.
  • Reinforce your offer “sweeteners” – free trial, money back guarantees, no-hassle return policies, etc.
  • Highlight a strong testimonial or two. Add photos if it makes sense.
  • Print on an eye-catching bright, neon stock so the reader finds it right away.
  • Make it look like a coupon, certificate or money itself to highlight money saved and savings earned.
  • Consider checklists, tables and other visual helpers that can help the reader more clearly understand the benefits of your offer.

Lift notes work best when they have a different voice than the main letter. So if your main letter is signed by the Marketing Director, the note can be signed from the Customer Service Manager who brings a different but still valuable perspective. Or, as mentioned above, turn a strong testimonial into its own lift note, signed by a satisfied customer.

BONUS TIP:

Write your buckslip a little more generically and you can use it as a product or invoice stuffer and get some additional mileage for the design/print investment.

(Oh, in case you’re wondering, there’s really very little difference between a buckslip and a lift note except that a lift note is generally written as a mini-letter. Buckslips can be any sort of additional insert.)

Remember, your prospects will read your package in any number of ways. Some start with the main letter, others go right to the reply device. Some look for the mini-info because they want to get right to the punch line. Adding these kinds of low-cost elements can make a real difference to your response rates, so test them and let the numbers do their magic for you.

Are the prayers in Valley of Vision public domain?

Valley of Vision is a book of Puritan prayers, by the way.

I know they were written quite a while ago, but I’m not very familiar with copyright law and I couldn’t find any information about the existence of a copyright on the prayers of this specific collection. I ask because I’m considering creating an iphone app (a free one) which would include them/exist only for the purpose of making them available to everyone.

And if you don’t know but know how I might find out, that would be good too.

Sources appreciated!

The book is a collection of puritan prayers published in 1975 and it is still under copyright. A selection of the prayers can be found at:

http://www.oldlandmarks.com/puritan.htm

However you could always go to the source books. Matthew Henry’s Method for Prayer is available at:
