 Here is the third in our series of 3 guest articles on Ebooks by author, bookwright and catalyst Tom Evans. Enjoy!
So you’ve written your ebook but how do you get it out to the world and even start making money from it?
Well the simplest way is as it has always been – to create a PDF file. This not only preserves the formatting of you source document but ensures it can’t (easily) be tampered with.
Most word processors have “Save as PDF …” as standard nowadays. If you don’t have one, there are loads of free or cheap plugins and online conversions tools. I won’t list any as they change all the time, just do a Google search.
Armed with a PDF, you can upload it to your site and make it the landing page for a Buy Now button or an email sign up form.
The next option is to syndicate your PDF.

 Here is the second in our series of 3 guest articles on Ebooks by author, bookwright and catalyst Tom Evans. Enjoy!
- Be mindful of the person reading an ebook
- Be aware of the different types of ereader devices
- Make your job as a writer much easier
Sales of ebooks are predicted to overtake paperback books by 2014. For authors especially, simply to bury your head in the sand by saying you prefer a printed book is not an option. Aside from any other consideration, increased royalties make writing with the ‘ereader’ in mind a prudent strategy.
An ebook can, of course, be an electronic copy of a pre-existing printed book. If, however, you are writing a book from scratch, there are some benefits for both you and the ‘ereader’ to adopting a slightly different approach. Note that this article mainly relates to writing of non-fiction.
