Tips For Outsourcing Ebooks Ebooks are starting to come of age. It is now becoming a more practical option to sell your knowldge or niche book on line than it is to sell it through a conventional publisher. There are on line publishers like Amazon that will upload your ebook, help you market it, deliver it to your customers, track sales, take payments and pay you the balance. You can to set your own cost for the book and you will receive about 70% of the absolute revenue. Dedicated ebook readers are making the ebook even more accessible. For example, say that you are travelling and you finish your book, you may find it a problem to buy a different book to read for a while, particularly if you are abroad. Not so with contemporary ebook readers. You just go online with their built-in WIFI facility and download a different one. Or you could download twelve so that you do not run the risk of being without. Ebooks are cheaper than traditional paper books and more readily accessible. Lots of readers will also hold over 3,000 books. So, this is a way to go for publishing a book, but what if you cannot write well enough? What if you have immense concepts for books - fact or fiction - but you only cannot write them down? There may be several causes for this. Maybe writing in not your forte; perhaps English (the biggest market for books) is not your mother tongue; or maybe you just do not have the time. So why not outsource them? Many books supposedly written by well-known sports personalities were in fact outsourced or written by ghost writers. That is nothing new and no cause of shame. It is merely horses for courses. This really is a business in a box. Let us look at some examples. If you think that the current craze for stories on macabre topics will continue, why not think up a few scenarios and pay for five short stories that you can compile into one ebook? Or look on line, find out what people are having issues with and pay for ebooks to solve those issues. You could have ten ebooks for sale on Amazon within a month offering revenue for years. So how do you go about it? Well, first of all, someone has to have the concepts and that has to be you or your family or friends. Then you have to outline those ideas for the writer to be able to follow. Then you have to state how long the author has to complete the project; how many words it should contain and what quality of English you need. Then Google ''ghost writers desired' or something comparable. There are many sites acting as go-betweens and many solo writers too. Give them the specifications and carefully choose your author. Make certain that all intellectual copyrights are signed over to you on payment and then go over to Amazon, open a publishers account and follow the instructions. You


can be publishing within 20 minutes and earning within a few days. It is really a business in a box.
