Do you have a story or expert information on a specific topic that you would like to share with the public? The topics could include anything from cooking, pet caring, and weight loss to stock trading. If so, you can write an eBook and upload it to Amazon Kindle Store.

Why eBooks?

It is really not that hard to write and sell eBook these days, even if you have never written one before. Here are some benefits of eBooks.

  1. Available on different devices-eBooks can be read on various electronic devices such as tablets and mobiles.
  2. Promote business – For small or medium business, eBooks can help marketing their business, enhance their brand reputation, and lead new opportunities and sales.
  3. Promote reading – I’ve seen many people have their heads glue to the screens of their mobile devices while they are in the public areas. People nowadays spend more time in front of screens thanks to the popularity of mobile devices.
  4. Low cost – As eBooks are cheaper to produce, many writers who might never get picked up by big publishing companies have successfully published their own eBooks by self-publication, turning their dreams into reality.
  5. Easy access – eBooks can be easily downloaded when you want to buy one instead of waiting for a printed book to be delivered.
  6. Easy control – You can make changes to your book at anytime and keep up-to-date information to your readers all the time.
  7. Easy links – You can create hot links that lead your readers to your website or other references in your eBooks.
  8. Easy search– Readers can easily find a specific information by using the find feature in the eBook, saving time and aggravation looking for something in particular.

Why Amazon Kindle Store?

You can publish your eBooks independently on the Amazon Kindle Store. Here are some benefits:

  1. Available for almost any device – Amazon has free mobile apps for IOS, Android, Mac, and Windows, not just the Kindle e-reader. Thus, you can download the free Kindle app and read on your PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
  2. Easy update – You can update and make any changes to your book at anytime.
  3. Good search engine – Amazon is the largest paid search engine in the world.
  4. Marketing –Amazon can recommend your book to others after you sell a certain number of eBooks.

Steps to quickly write a eBook

  1. Find a subject that solves a problem or people are passionate about
  2. Write a table of contents that include 10 chapter or more.
  3. Write 10 pages of your personal experience content for each chapter.
  4. Create a cover page.
  5. Write a conclusion.

In conclusion

eBook creation is not an easy job. You need to create content and design the content into a professional-looking document that encourage people to download. However, considering you wrote the book once and don’t have to do any more work every day and continue selling your book, writing and selling eBook is really a good way to make a passive income.
