How To Earn A High Income Writing Ebooks

If you want to earn a high income writing ebooks, then you have to know how to do it consistently.

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.

It's All Systems Go to Earn More Money Writing

I've been busy over the past week sorting out my working systems (which also explains my lack of blog posts).

You see, although I've been working online for years now, I haven't had great systems in place which has slowed me down somewhat.

What I mean by this is that in order to do something fast and efficiently, you need to have all your systems in order.

For example, when I do mundane tasks at home like washing my clothes, I know exactly the steps I need to take to get it done quickly and efficiently.

First I go through everything in the hamper and sort it out into piles of light colours, dark colours, whites and delicates. Then I take the piles to the laundry room one at a time, put them into the washing machine, add the powder and fabric softener, turn it on and leave it for the specified time on the digital display.

Simple.

I don't even have to think about the washing. I just go into the bathroom, take the lid off the hamper and start sorting.

And it's the same with writing.

You need your systems in place.

No matter what you're doing, whether it's writing an ebook, writing an article or researching. You need to know the steps you need to take to get it done, and in what order.

So if you're writing an ebook, you need to know what to do first, which (for me) would be to summarise what the book will be about then list the chapters. From there I expand it using my own ebook writing methods.

But if I didn't know how to start writing an ebook, then I'd probably sit staring at a blank page wondering what to do, or worse, not start at all.

So over the past weeks I've been putting things in order so that I have my systems in place for everything I need to do, which included sorting through all my files (physical and digital) and putting things where they need to go to make it easier for me to find everything. It was surprising what a mess I had things in.

And now I think I'm ready.

I've been doing this all in preparation for next year because I have a lot of plans for my writing and publishing so I need to be organised and have all my systems in place which includes all my processes of how I do things.

I've also bought a few extra products (both digital and physical) that I need to streamline my writing processes even more.

I simplified everything by imagining what it would be like if I had to explain how I work to someone else, and it made me realise how messy my processes for working are, and how messy my files were. I knew where everything was, but they were all over the place and sometimes I had to search to find things which is a big time waster.

And if I want to get more done then I can't afford to waste time.

How about you?

Do you have all your writing processes organised?

Are all your systems ready to go?

If not, now is a good time (end of year) to get organised and start thinking about what you want to achieve with your writing.

Which should be more than you've achieved so far.

Why This is THE Most Important Time of Year For Writers

It's now November.

Boy has this year flown.

As far as writing goes I haven't achieved everything I hoped this year, but I came pretty darn close.

And since it's now less than 2 months to the end of the year, this is the most important time to plan what I'll be doing next year.

Starting my plan early will give me plenty of time to think things through.

It also is a brilliant time to look at everything I want to finish by the end of this year too.

If you never map out a writing and publishing plan for the following year, I can highly recommend doing so.

I find that I work much more efficiently if I have a plan and a timeline for everything I need to do. It frees up my thinking time so that I can concentrate more on my writing.

I don't have a set plan for  2016 yet, but I do know at least one thing that I'll be doing for the rest of 2015 and that's promoting my book, How to Quit Smoking - Without Giving Up Cigarettes, because thanks to New Years resolutions, this book is always an end of year best seller.

And it's available as a paperback book, as well as a Kindle and PDF, so it also makes a great Christmas gift too.

Another good reason to start promoting it early.

What will you be doing next year?

What My Hospital Stay Taught Me About Being a Writer

Last weekend wasn't one of my best.

It began normally but ended up with me screaming in agony and being admitted to hospital.

Turns out, I have a large gall stone (1.9cm in diameter no less) that got stuck and hence the screaming and pain-killing injections that followed.

In the not too distant future, I'll need an operation, but last weekend I had to stay in hospital overnight until Monday afternoon (yesterday).

Naturally, like most hospital patients, I didn't get much sleep because of all the noise all night with buzzers going off, staff shouting and sounds of snoring coming from everywhere.

And by Monday morning I was bored.

So I had a lot of time to think.

And do you know what I thought about the whole time?

Writing.

I sat around (and laid around) making plans for my writing.

I couldn't seem to stop.

I laid in bed staring out the window and thought about writing.

I sat in the chair next to my bed and thought about writing.

I also sat outside on the back verandah to drink my black coffee (clear fluids only for 24 hours so I was really hungry the whole time - and I lost 1kg) and thought about writing.

And this taught me 2 things.

Firstly, I'm completely obsessed with writing. I don't think I realised it until now.

Secondly, as a writer, there's no such thing as not working.

I often think about writing and make plans of what I'll write next but I didn't realise how much I do it.

And now I know that even when I have absolutely nothing to do, I'm still working. Still thinking. Still planning.

So if you have a lot of waiting around to do, don't waste it.

It's a great brain storming opportunity.


P.S. Before I went to the hospital, I was having a day out with my family, which was sadly cut short. We were at Chenrezig Institute which is a Buddhist monastery and retreat on top of a mountain. It's a beautiful and tranquil place to visit if you're ever in the area. It's set over 100 acres of bushland and accepts day visitors who are free to explore the property.
