How to Develop and Publish your eBook for Free or Paid? Part 4

Did you finish writing the ebook?

Do you want to develop it and publish it?

Now that we have written our eBook, it’s time to start developing the e-book to get more customers. Also, you will learn how to publish your ebook correctly, and if you will give it for free or for money.

Here are the steps for developing the eBook and making it ready for publishing:

The aim of this process is to get more customers, and a 3D cover will really do it. It will make your eBook as a brand all over the Internet. Search on the Internet about any famous eBook or a famous author; you will see that all the eBooks have a cover for it. This cover may be simple, but there is a cover.

There are many 3D cover generators; some are free and some have a premium service. You could also hire a designer; it’s a simple step and will not cost a lot.

You’re probably asking: why PDF?

It’s simply because PDF is recognized by both PCs and Macs. Plus, exporting an eBook in a PDF format gives a better result in the layout. (There are also many other benefits of the PDF format, but for simplicity’s sake, I won’t really go into them here.)

Also, it is not easy to edit an eBook in PDF format. However, if an eBook is originally in .DOC format, then it can be easily edited.

To save an eBook as a PDF in Word:
Go to File >> Export As PDF or File >>Print >>Save as PDF, it differs from windows 7 to Xp.

After that you will have the settings window. Choose the zoom level; there are no default settings for it, but I use 100-120%, and it is different from one eBook to another. Alternatively, you could also convert the .DOC format to .PDF format using the following site: Doc2Pdf

Now we have finished developing our e-book. It’s time to publish.

A lot of people publish their eBooks for free because of the following reasons:

It will bring more subscribers, which means money forever.It may go viral all over the Internet, which means new people enter your blog, which means more traffic forever.

Maybe there are other reasons, but these are the most important and common reasons. So, now I think you’re interested in publishing your next eBook for free, so continue reading to know how to publish it for free and gain the most from it.

To publish the eBook for free, we need an email delivery system so that we have the emails of the people who download the eBook, and they can be loyal readers for your blog forever. How to set up this email delivery?

The best service on the whole Internet and the one that is used by most of the popular bloggers, is Aweber.

The best thing about it is that it offers a trial for only one dollar, then $19 for 500 subscribers, and you pay more when the subscribers increase. But remember: you will make more than what you pay. Many great bloggers make over $1,000 for every email sent.

After you get an account on Aweber, go to your dashboard and set up your list (see an example in the following image):

After you have finished setting up your Aweber account, you now should go to the following steps to make a download page for the eBook.

Make a download page for the eBook, this page will be the one where the user will be redirected after he confirms his registration, and this page will have a download link for the eBook.

Bingo! You have now finished setting up the email delivery system, and you can add it to your blog.

To get more subscribers; make a landing page that will focus on making the user subscribe to get the eBook. I won’t go into it too much, but Premise is found as the best plugin to design a good landing page easily. Or, you can hire a web designer to make it for you.

Now that we have finished the part about publishing the eBook for free, let’s now go to the part of publishing the eBook for more money.

Many people will sell their eBook and the only reason for that is to get more money, possibly forever.

Before we do anything, we must determine the price.

The price will totally depend on the amount of effort that you spend on it and the quality of this eBook.

To increase sales, you can offer the eBook at a lower price for a week or for the first 10 buyers, so that you will get vouches that will increase your sales dramatically.

How to let people download it directly after purchasing your eBook?

People don’t want to pay the money and THEN have to contact you so that you give them the eBook. This will decrease your sales a lot.

So, upload it to an auto-pay site. There is only one site that I will recommend for you and its e-junkie.

You pay $5 every month for unlimited sales, and you can offer an affiliate program with it. That’s why I like it. There are also promo codes. Google it, and this will give you a great discount. Some codes will even give you a free trial, so search for the codes first on Google.

Now we have finished setting up the eBook to be sold. You can also make a download page as discussed above.

You will need a landing page for this eBook. This page should contain the following, in order:

Introduction to your eBook and what is it about.Why people should buy your eBook. (Benefits)Provide some proof that shows that your method works.Provide some testimonials. This will encourage people to buy your eBook.Provide the e-junkie code here after you have shown the benefits of your product.

And as I said above, you will need Premise to design your landing page easily. Or, simply hire a designer.

Now we have learned how to develop an eBook and publishing it for free or for money. With this lesson, we have finished this great series.
