There once was a time to become a professional writer that you needed a publisher. Writers would send in their books, hoping that a publisher would give them that deal to get their book printed and out to the public. With the advancements in digital technology, that is no longer the case. There is no need to beg a publishing company to print your book when you can sell it as an eBook by yourself. There is very little cost to save your book in digital form and begin making money right away as a writer. Here’s how to get started.

Write and Format Your eBook

The first step to selling your book is to write your first copy. It can be a novel, a collection of poems, short stories or a how-to book – anything that you want to share with the world. There is no set length that your book needs to be; it can be a short 40-50 page booklet or it can be several hundred pages long. Once it has been edited, it needs to be formatted into an eBook template.

For your eBook to read correctly on iPads, Kindles and other devices, it needs to be formatted correctly. There are companies or freelancers that can do this for you as a paid service or you can learn to do it yourself. Most people who are computer literate can easily format their own eBooks with a little practice and the right templates.

Marketing and Selling eBooks

To begin to sell eBooks online, you need to be able to reach your audience. That takes marketing. If you already have a large following through social media or a blog, you can market your new book through those sites. However, you still need a payment processing system and a way to automatically deliver the book once it is purchased. The best way to do this is through an ecommerce service like PayLoadz.com.

With PayLoadz.com, you get a turn-key operation to sell your eBooks from both their digital store and through any other web page you have. This service will help you market your book, offers affiliate marketing, processes payments for your books and supplies fast, secure delivery to your customers. It takes the stress out of the marketing and selling of your books, allowing you more time to create your next book to sell.

Another great aspect of selling your eBooks online is the low cost to get started. You can get started right away with very little investment and make money right away on your book. If you still pine to see your book in print, having an eBook can be a great way to get noticed by publishers while you make money in the meantime and grow your fan base. You may not need a publishing deal to start selling your book, but by selling eBooks online, you might get that big deal you have been hoping for!
