Over the past six months, I’ve been getting into selling short, simple “how to” type guides. These reports are rarely more than about 20 pages long, and they’re often about microniche subjects or weird hobbies or bizarre personal problems.
I’ve been doing really well with selling these reports, and so far I think that publishing my own ebooks is just as fun as doing affiliate marketing - maybe even more fun, because I get instant payments.
When I got started I had to scramble around to find all of that basic info like how to secure my downloads, how to drive traffic to my product, how to set up payment, etc. ad nauseum.
Since then I got my uncle started creating and publishing his own ebooks, and I hooked him up with a cool home study course put out by Kevin Riley. It pretty much teaches you everything you need to know to get started selling your own reports.
I’m too lazy to write down all the stuff I’ve figured out, so I’m glad I found this course for my uncle. He’s kind of a technophobe but even he is managing to crank out his first reports and he’s seeing some decent income coming in. As a retiree whose pension got decimated in the market crash, he’s very happy to see this extra money coming in right now.
I really think anybody (except maybe for extreme dyslexics? You do need to be able to put words together) can get started creating and publishing their own ebooks. Don’t think about writing a book. Just think about writing a report.
I charge anywhere from $7 to about $37 for my reports, depending on how much competition is in my niche and how much detail I provide in the reports. And usually I’m just doing research on the subjects of my reports. I’ve only written one report on a hobby that I’m truly an “expert” in. I never present myself as an expert, anyway. I always say I’m a “researcher” or a “writer” or an “enthusiast.” That covers a lot of ground when you’re selling reports.
“Dan Gregory is a ferret enthusiast who has been admiring ferrets since 1984. He enjoys researching the mysterious and undiscovered aspects of ferrets.”
Or something like that. That’s my typical byline for these reports, anyway.
If you want to know more about what I’m doing with these reports and you don’t mind a minor sales pitch for Kevin’s excellent home study course, check out my latest post at my other site:
Publish (Your) Ebook
And if not, enjoy your day anyway. I’m not enjoying mine. I made some mistakes on my taxes and I have to call my accountant again on Monday. I’m probably going to owe even more money this year. UGH. Will tax season ever end?
