Have you ever considered writing an Ebook?

What is an Ebook? Simply put it’s a book which can be about anything and is downloadable. Usually it’s in a PDF format so it can be read in Adobes Acrobat Reader which is available for free.

What would you write one about?

Well I’m always writing about something. That’s because I have a memory like a … ummm what’s that word… Oh yeah, a Sieve! So everything I do, I write it down.

For one thing it’s good practice and writing helps you solve problems, plus you’ve just created yourself a reference when you do solve the problem. Or you just write down what you’ve done so you can go back to it later…

But you might end up writing something that you can give to others to help them solve a problem you’ve just solved!

Or you just have a great Idea for an Ebook but have no idea on how to setup things to promote and sell it.

I was going to write an Ebook on this very subject.

But before I went blasting away on the keyboard, I did some research on what was already available. It’s always a good idea! And I ended up finding an ebook written by Alf Alexander Pedersen titled “How to Create Your Own eBook and start a new Income on the Internet!”

Now Alf is a prolific Ebook Author with his area of expertise being in the Database Side of things. But what he has put together in this ebook is simply explained in such a way that anyone can read and follow along.

So instead of my having to put together an ebook on this subject, I’ll use and recommend Alf”s book. After all he’s done all the hard work and I can go onto writing Ebooks on other matters, using what’s explained in his “How to Create Your Own eBook and start a new Income on the Internet!”. He explains it much better than I could anyway..

All the tools etc are Free.

Yes they are! Everything I have been using for my ebook creations are all Free! With one Exception…

Alf uses Microsoft Word which isn’t Free But most people have. Now I do not use MS Word or any of the MS Office programs because I use Suns Systems Open Office Suite of tools. Which are all FREE! Download the Free Open Office Suite here. The other advantages of Open Office are – It reads and writes MS Word Documents. Shhh don’t tell Bill and while it doesn’t look as “pretty” it’s much easier to use. It also runs on Any Operating System and the PDF Generation is just a click of a button. But again , most people use MS Word and it’s friends.

There is a section in the ebook explaining how to use Open Office Writer the superior equivalent to MS Word. Well that’s my opinion. As this ebook was written back in 2007 it mentions a couple of limitations that Open Office had at the time. These limitations no longer apply, so looks like I’ll have to write an “add on” to cover this but as it stands the information in this ebook still stands the test of being very worthwhile.

So if you want to Write an Ebook or two , then this is a very good ebook. If you want to be able to promote and Sell your Ebooks, this is a must have.

Rating

I give this ebook a rating of 7/10.

It’s a little bit dated ( from what I gather it was written back in 2007 ) but the information is still relevant.

There are a lot of valuable Free Resources listed. There are also a list of Free Ebooks available relating to Internet marketing. In regards to the Website building, he recommends a paid Tool but it’s a well known one and for getting a website up and running, it ranks up there with the good ones. There are always other options, but it might be something you’d be comfortable with. It was designed for someone totally new to Website building.

For now it’d get you going (Until I complete writing my own ebook on the subject). So get writing…

This has been a review about Alf  Pederson’s “How to Create Your Own eBook and start a new Income on the Internet!”.
