Writing a novel has always been a desire of every writer, whether it is read by many or a few. Of course, many would be better. It goes with the territory. You probably also like to read. You may have a job that lets you write a little here and there, like newsletters, pamphlets and such.



I will let you in on a secret; eBooks are the way to go when you like to write but are not quite good enough to write the best selling novel. Writing a best seller is sort of like playing in the NBA, a lot of people play basketball but there are only so many spaces in the NBA. Players take their love of basketball to Europe and continue playing, trying to get to their dream.

Well, eBooks allow you to build on your talent, while making quite a bit of money. They allow you to practice your craft, what you love doing, and build on your resume. There is no limit on what you can write about. There in no end to the people looking for eBooks on whatever subject that comes to mind. A good eBook could go on for years, earning you money, with just some updates every now and then.

To create a great eBook you need to do the following:

1. Give the reader quality - Write what you know about or research a subject until you know about it. Don't try to feed the reader a line of slop.

2. Give the reader satisfaction - Let someone read your eBook that will give you a true review of your book. Take their criticism to heart and correct any problems that they find. Ask them how they felt when they finished it. Were they satisfied or was something missing? Did they want something more? By trying to fulfill their needs you will end up with a more complete eBook, as long as you stay true to the subject.

3. Give the reader value - Don't price yourself out of the market. The reader is looking for value for his money especially in this economy. Check out what eBooks are selling for that are of a similar topic and size. You can offer free updates when they become available.

Writing a best selling novel has always been a dream of mine as it is for so many writers. It has not happened yet but I am still trying; and I am able to get some satisfaction by writing eBooks and various other web items.

Creative people need to make things. I get the most satisfaction when I am creating something and eBooks allow me to create a lot of things in a short amount of time. This is very satisfying indeed. My dream of writing a novel will have to wait.
