If you write articles about your research, you can turn that into an E-Book

The use of e-books is increasing as they are a great way to promote a service or product but many people are not that confident about writing them. With a little help almost anyone can write one of these digital books and some help is provided in the article. Of course if you aren't a very accomplished writer you may want to employ someone to do the writing for you or just help out with other material.

The first thing to do research the topic for your e-book and write some articles and although this can be any subject, it is easier to write about something you are interested in that people are willing to buy the information you have. A good method used to practice before you start is to write some articles on the topic of your book and then distribute them on the internet to promote the book you are writing; free publicity! Post several articles on various websites, as well as on the article directories and the number of views your articles receive will show you what potential your book has for making sales.

Once this is complete you can start writing the content of the e-book and work out how you want it to look. Most books are set out with an introduction, the main topic and then a conclusion but you may want to add a resource section as well which is quite normal these days. If you write a few more articles that complement the book you may find it will increase the overall perceived value.

On completing each article, insert it into the e-book because this is a good way to see just how many you will need. E-Books are shorter than print books with the optimum length being around 50 pages so stick to the topic, and offer good, useful information. Because it's more difficult to read on your computer screen than on the page, ensure that there's no information that essentially useless to your reader.

Be aware of 'bonus' material as you write because E-Book purchasers love to get bonus material. Your bonus material could include a small report (just write two or three additional articles), checklists, or add templates. Any extra material you supply will need to be worthwhile on its own and be related to your e-book subject.
