Being an ebook writer and publisher is a real work from home or work from anywhere career.
Ebooks are a great way to earn passive income because they are fast to write, effortless to format and quick to publish.
You can write a short report or small ebook in just one 2 hour sitting, if you have a system for writing.
Ebooks are also effortless to format because you only have to do it once, if you have your ebook writing and publishing process set up correctly.
I use Pages on my Mac Book Pro and I've set up styles for my articles and ebooks. That means that I set them up once, saved them as templates, and now I only have to click on the template I want to use (article or ebook) and the formatting is already taken care of.
Ebooks are also quick to publish because all you need to do is upload them in just one click.
But if you want to earn all your income from your ebooks then you also need to look at the math.
Most writers and authors want to earn a six-figure income from their ebooks, which is a minimum of $100K a year. This equate to $400 a day, 5 days a week (so you get the weekends off).
So if you write and publish a $20 ebook, then you need to sell 20 copies a day to earn $400.
And if you sell your ebook on Kindle and only earn $2 in royalties for each copy sold, you'd need 200 daily sales.
Now while that may seem like a lot of ebook sales, it's not all bad.
You see, it's easier to sell less copies per day of more books, than more copies per day of just one ebook.
So achieving 20 or 200 sales a day IS difficult if you only have one ebook written and published.
But what if you were selling 20 ebooks? That would mean you only have to sell one copy of each ebook per day (at $20 each) to earn $400. That's just one copy.
And if you were only earning $2 then you'd only need to sell 10 copies of each per day.
And if you're a focused and prolific writer, there's now reason why you couldn't write and publish 50 ebooks a year, if you can write and publish one ebook a week. Or you could still write and publish as many as 25 ebooks a year, if you write and publish one every 2 weeks.
That would mean that in just 1 year you'd have 50 ebooks selling all over the world. So that would mean, that you'd still only need 20 daily sales (at $20 each) to earn $400 a day, so you don't even need to sell one copy of every ebook a day. Just one copy of less than half of your ebooks.
And if you were selling them and only receiving $2 in royalties, you only need 4 daily sales of each ebook to earn $400.
So if writing and selling ebooks is something you've always wanted to do, this would be the week to start writing your first-of-many manuscripts.
All you need is a good 7 day ebook writing and publishing system.
This will quickly build into a great daily writing habit, and your new process plus the focus and determination to make it work will give you the writing career you've always dreamed of.
Just choose a way that works for you and get started.
