Hi,

Welcome to all our subscribers, and a special welcome to those who have joined in the last week.
One type of product appears to be used more often than any other when starting an Internet based business.  That is the Ebook.  It is one of the simplest products to sell as it is a digital product and can be directly downloaded.  Since information is what most web surfers are after, and this is usually transmitted in the written word, the Ebook fills that requirement very well.  The article today looks at two ways of creating this Ebook and provides a few ideas.

Title:    Learn the Secrets Guru's Use to Create Low Cost Products

So, after much research, you have figured out what niche market you want to target with your home based business. Now, you aren't too sure what product you want to sell. The truth is, the answer is easier to arrive at, and much less expensive to implement than you would imagine. Let's learn the secrets gurus use when creating a product.

In case you are wracking your brain trying to figure this out, relax. In fact, you probably have already guessed it. It's the dreaded eBook! The moaning and groaning is beginning now, but eBooks really aren't that bad! EBooks have been around for years, but most people in your niche likely will have had only limited experience with them.

Why eBooks? They continue to be cool, and are viewed as cutting edge and provide required, quality information. They also are easy to create, inexpensive, can be developed quickly, and can be bought while you sleep. It doesn't get much better than that!

Now, the real secret to eBooks is . . . . Drum roll please! DON’T CREATE THEM! Now, if you are a professional writer or just love to write, then this article isn't for you. The rest of you, hang in here! The truth is there are much easier ways to create an eBook than trying to do it yourself. They are:

            1. Have someone else do it for you or,

            2. Legally steal someone else's book.

There are sites where you can post your projects, and where freelance writers can take a look, and make bids on your projects.

Tips to remember when you go to post your projects include the following:

1.         Give as much detail as possible so that freelance writers know exactly what you want. Some writers will be so eager for your project that they will write up a sample chapter based on your information just to get your business. Make sure you also ask the bidder to sign a non-disclosure agreement. This information can be found on the site. You always must register, as well. Buyers can register for free.

2.         Always ask bidders for writing examples; otherwise, who knows what fluff you might end up with!

3.         Don't ever pay anyone until you have completely reviewed the final product.

With these tips in mind, now on to the second way to create an inexpensive eBook. If you remember, the second secret given was to legally steal someone else's book. How can this be done? The secret is using public domain materials. Anything published before 1923 in the United States is considered public domain. This means that no one owns the copyright of the material, and therefore, anybody can use it.

It gets even better than this. Some books published between 1923 and 1963 may be public domain material if the copyright was not renewed by the 28th year. To be on the safe side, it is always advisable to consult a copyright attorney before publishing any work you might find. That said, there are membership sites on the web that have done all the work for you! You just pay a small monthly fee and get lots of great public domain material.

After you get your original book, you will want to have it scanned into a digital format. When looking for a company to do this for you, keep these important points in mind:

1.         Make sure they do not destroy the original book. The book needs to be returned to you.

2.         The company needs to do more than just scan the book. The work has to be editable so you can add your own introduction.

3.         The work needs to be turned around in a week.

4.         The work is kept confidential.

5.         And of course the fees are not unreasonable. Examples of approximate prices are:

1-100 pages-$100
101-300 pages-$150
301-500 pages-$200
501+Pages-$250

Now you know the secrets the gurus use to create low cost products for their niche markets. Your home based business can now explode!

4.         Recommendation of the week

One of the best sources for creating an eBook is from Private Label Rights (PLR) Articles.  It is very simple to collect the PLR articles on the subject of your choice and then formulate a book from the articles.  I am a member of Infogoround.com and for a reasonable monthly fee can have access to a very large store of PLR products and articles.  If you are in to writing your own articles you can submit one per month, and if accepted, you will get your monthly fee waived, and the site becomes free for you to use for that month. I believe it is well worth the monthly fee, or article, and you should really check out what is available:
