Tips For Outsourcing Ebooks
Posted by Owen Jones in Uncategorized, tags: books, ecology, education, employment, environment, hobbies, leisure, literature, other, reading, school, society, technology, UncategorizedEbooks are starting to come of age. It is now becoming a more viable option to sell your ideas or niche book on line than it is to sell it through a traditional publisher. There are on line publishers like Amazon that will upload your ebook, help you market it, deliver it to your customers, track sales, take the money and pay you the balance.
You get to set your own price for the book and you will receive around 70% of the absolute revenue. Dedicated ebook readers are making the ebook even more accessible. For example, say that you are travelling and you finish your book, you may find it a problem to purchase another book to read for a while, especially if you are abroad.
Not so with modern ebook readers. You only go online with their built-in WIFI capability and download a different one. Or you could download a dozen so that you do not run the risk of being without. Ebooks are cheaper than traditional paper books and more readily accessible. Lots of readers will also hold over 3,000 books.
So, this is a way to go for publishing a book, but what if you cannot write well enough? What if you have immense concepts for books - fact or fiction - but you only cannot write them down? There could be several reasons for this. Perhaps writing in not your specialty; maybe English (the biggest market for books) is not your mother tongue; or perhaps you just do not have the time.
So why not outsource them? Numerous books supposedly written by famous sports personalities were in fact outsourced or written by ghost writers. That is nothing new and no cause of shame. It is merely horses for courses.
This actually is a business in a box. Let us look at some scenarios. If you think that the current fad for stories on macabre topics will continue, why not think up a few scenarios and pay for five short stories that you can compile into one ebook? Or look on line, find out what individuals are having problems with and pay for ebooks to solve those issues.
You could have ten books for sale on Amazon within a month offering revenue for years.
So how do you go about it? Well, first of all, someone has to have the concepts and that has to be you or your family or friends. Then you have to outline those ideas for the author to be able to follow. Then you need to state how long the writer has to complete the project; how many words it should contain and what quality of English you need.
Then Google ”ghost writers required’ or something comparable. There are numerous sites acting as go-betweens and lots of solo writers as well. Give them the specifications and carefully choose your writer.
Make sure that all intellectual copyrights are signed over to you on payment and then go over to Amazon, open a publishers account and follow the instructions. You could be publishing within 20 minutes and earning within a few days. It is really a business in a box.
