How E-book Can Drive Traffic To Your Money-Making Website

#Writer's life

 

Hey,

Are you a good writer that can write an interesting book? Do you know that you can make money as a writer without ever getting a client?

 

Someone might ask is it a dream or hype? It’s neither of these. You can make money writing before getting your first client by setting up a Money-Making Website.

 

In today’s blog post, we’ll be looking at one of the ways of supporting your Money-Making Website that really appeals to me, which is writing of an e-book.

Why write an e-book?

The absolute best reason for writing an e-book is to offer it as a free inducement to have readers visit your website.

 

The more traffic you have coming to your website, the more you can sell. And the more money you make off of Google Ad sense ads.

 

When you think of writing an e-book, don't be thinking of a massive 300-pager. E-books can be as short as two or three pages or as long as you want them.

 

But if you're going to be giving them away to attract traffic, you're really looking at books of 5 to 10 pages, maybe a little bit more.

Getting down to the how-to nitty-gritty

 

Writing an e-book is easier than you might think. You don't need special software and you don't have to spend a lot of money … if any. And you're learning all the skills you need through AWAI on how to write a good e-book.

 

Thinking on how to start writing your E-book? Then take the following steps

 #1: Choose a Topic and Research It

Start by deciding what your e-book is about. It should relate to your website and provide valuable info. Once you settle on a topic, research it thoroughly.

 #2: Plan Your Book

Don't simply start writing when you decide on your topic. Start by figuring out exactly what you want the reader's biggest takeaway to be. Then outline your topic to make sure you hit important points.

#3: Decide on Your Book's Final Format

Before you start writing, decide on the book's final format. The main three choices are PDF, EPUB (iBooks and most e-readers), or MOBI (Kindle readers).

 

The simplest route is to publish as a PDF document. But if you want to go fancy and use the other formats, you can get your original document converted through a number of online resources. Unfortunately, you have to pay for most of them.

#4: Write Your Book

You can use almost any word processor and easily convert it to a PDF. But don't convert your book once you finish writing it. First edit, proof, revise, and make sure your book is perfect. But you're still not quite done.

#5: Add Pizzazz to Your Book with Illustrations and an Eye-Catching Cover

You don't have to have illustrations in your book, especially if it's short. But illustrations break up long copy and make your book more inviting. Find royalty-free illustrations wherever you can. It's best to add illustrations while you're still in the word processing stage.

 

And while your e-book doesn't really have a cover like a real book does, a cover lends credibility. Add the cover either before or after you convert the book. The cover design should look clear and attractive as a small "thumbnail" image, because that's often how they are viewed on screen.

#6: Convert Your Book and Put It on Your Website

If you're on a Mac, you can easily convert to a PDF. And if you're using Pages, you can also export as an EPUB.

 

If your version of Word for Windows doesn't have the built-in capability to convert to PDF, you can use Open Office, a free, good alternative to Word.

 

There you have it. It couldn't be easier to produce a traffic generator for your website. And once you get used to writing e-books, you can sell them as a great source of passive income on their own.

 

Let us know if you've already written your own e-book … or if you're planning to. I’m looking forward to hearing from  you again.
