Having trouble finishing an Ebook Try These 3 Money Making Alternatives

Internet audio expert, Michael Senoff advises on many of his business audio interviews that, although it is possible to make a living as an affiliate marketer, to really make money on the Internet you must have your own product. And, he says, there is no product in the world with all the advantages that information products, like E-books, have.

However, it has been estimated that 95% of the people who start books and e-books never come close to finishing them. I would bet it is even higher than that. If you add in the number that have a great idea for an E-book but never even start, I would bet it is close to 99.99%.

So why do people abandon their E-books?

That's easy. Writing is difficult. Don’t let anybody tell you any different. Writing IS hard.

But it is not impossible.

The truth is, it’s the size of the task that stops most of us. Facing 70 to 150+ pages of Ebook is enough to discourage all but the most dedicated.

So what do I do if I have a great Idea?

Here are 3 Good options to Writing a Full E-book for You to Try.

1. Start a blog. Let's face it; if you design it right, a blog is nothing more than a frequently updated E-book. Start with your first idea and work through to the end. By the time several weeks have past you will have your book. You can then choose to package it as an E-book and offer it to your audience and others if you like.

One more advantages to this way take in Feedback as you are working (fix problems before you publish), the ability to make extra money (by putting ads and Ad sense on your blog if you like), and, perhaps best of all, the ability to see if your idea is viable before you spend several months of you life writing.

2. Write the E-book as a series of small reports first. As I said, 70 - 150 blank pages to fill can discourage a person. But nearly anyone of us could sit down and write a 7 to 15-page report before we gave out. Think of each report as a chapter and build upon the last one and soon you will have your E-book.

The advantages to this method are much the same as blogging (instant feedback, the ability to stop before committing to the whole book) but also include -- the ability to sell the material now (as a small report) and again later (as an E-book) and the ability to build upon the material with other forms or teaching and products (such as teleseminars, webinars and coaching) while the subject is ongoing and fresh in the reader's mind.

3. Hire a ghost writer, Go online to Elance or one of the other like sites and hire someone to do the book for you. You would need to work closely with your writer to get your ideas onto the paper correctly, but a excellent writer can be worth his or her weight in gold.

The advantages to this method are obvious (you don't need to write) as are the disadvantages (you do need to pay someone to write.) I think this should method be used only as a last resort.

It's much better to start small and work toward an E-book. You have the idea. Now just add the action.
