ARTICLE: Publishing a Book - Why Not Make it an EBook?

Publishing a book has traditionally been a nightmare. You have to first come up with a manuscript. If you're just getting started, you'll be writing what's called a spec manuscript. Spec as in speculative -- because there's no guarantee that it will be published. So what alternatives are there?   Publishing a book is a lot easier than you think, especially if you're willing to be creative insofar as how you define book. We're living in a time when people are becoming more and more used to working with digital files and programs. Nearly everyone has a computer, printer, PDA, or eBook reader. So the notion that a digitally produced book would have no market is sheer nonsense.   What if you were to identify a target market of people who have a problem, a need, or a desire. Then you publish a book that speaks directly to that topic. This might sound very boring and uncreative, but it can be incredibly lucrative. Imagine what would happen if you had a lot of money. You could approach a vanity publishing company and pay to have them produce and publish the book you really wanted to write. You have effectively financed this because of all the money you made with eBooks.   You're not alone -- a lot of people are interested in having a book published. There's nothing wrong with that, but you have to realize that we're in an environment where very few authors are discovered. You have to push forward and make a name for yourself. Getting started by publishing an eBook is one way to do that.   For more FREE information about how to make money on the Internet with your own home based eBook publishing venture, visit the eBook Secrets website by clicking on this link.You'll discover a fantastic resource that I've put together for you that will help you launch and grow a profitable home based eBook business WITHOUT having to spend a lot of money on startup expenses.
