As a young writer trying to establish my credibility in the publication world in my country Papua New Guinea, I ran into many hurdles. Apart from outright rejections from traditional publishing houses; high cost of editing, proof reading, cover designs, all beat me down hard.

So I got into self-publishing. That is the beginning of a new era. It simply became my stream of income. I wrote an ebook about Hub Pages Earning that sold like hot cakes in my country, Papua New Guinea and is still selling best.

Many friends saw unexpected success of my ebook and asked so many questions like. How did you did you write that ebook, what information did you included, how are you marketing your ebook? These endless questions motivated me to document my success as a guide to others who are considering following the path I took. That is to write ebooks for income.

Identify your market before you write an ebook. That is important. If there is demand for information in a particular topic, then write an ebook based on what consumers want.

There is no Law that says “All ebooks must be X pages”. Some ebooks I have read are even 5 pages long and sell so well. Some are 100 pages and still sell. On the contrary, some 5 pagers and 100 pages don’t even sell a copy.

My advice is just put enough. If you can say more in less than a 5 page ebook, go for it. If you think you can do more in 100 pages ebook, by all means go for it.

In the long run, your reputation would be spoil because of the viral nature of web. Nothing is so frustrating as a reader to encounter glaring grammatical errors after every paragraph.
