Writing Sales Copy To Promote Your Writing

Once you have written your ebook you will need to write a sales letter to sell it to other people. Sales copy written for the internet is called web copy. It is a specific type of copywriting that appeals to the online reader and draws them in so that they are ready to purchase your products and services. I am currently writing a short copywriting course that will teach you how to write your own web copy.

This ecourse will be made available for free to anyone in Jeff Herring's mentor program. Check out Jeff's free weekly teleseminars at www.WriteArticlesWithJeffHerring.com.

Write An Ebook From Your Blog Posts

If you have been posting regularly on a blog, those posts can be used to write your ebook. Your posts will all be related to your blog's topic, so it makes sense to combine them, add more content, and format the information into a short report or an ebook. It is a good idea to use the categories feature when you post to your blog so that you can orgaize your post later when you are ready to compile them into an ebook format. This is just one more way you can repurpose your information.

Writing Articles, Ebooks, and Short or Special Reports

Many of you have commented that you don't feel like you have enough information to write an eBook, or that you want to make sure people are interested in your topic before you write your eBook. The perfect solution could be in writing a Special or Short Report.

A Short Report can be anywhere from about eight to around twenty pages long. My clients and I have used these primarily as something to offer for free, in exchange for a visitor to opt-in to our list. I have also seen Short or Special Reports for sale at prices ranging from $7 to $20, depending on the length of the report and the type of information being given.

If you are just starting out with a new niche, these reports may be just what you have been looking for.

Write Your Ebook Now

It is said that at least 80% of people have a book thay would like to write, yet less than 10% ever actually complete a book of their own. Why is this? Many reasons, but perhaps the greatest one is procrastination. Don't let the "P" word hold you back.

Make a list, right now, of ideas that you have always thought would make good books, if someone would just write them. Make notes next to any ideas that you want to write about now. Narrow your list of ideas down to 4 or 5 good ones. Spend the next two or three days looking at your list whenever you think about it and make any additional notes. Think about how you would feel if you wrote your book over the next six weeks or so.

Using Teleseminars To Write Your Articles and Ebooks

Teleseminars are a great way to write your articles and ebooks while you are speaking. Alex Mandossian is once again offerring his Teleseminar Secrets course, as he does every year at this time. You can have your calls transcribed and write your ebook within hours, while on a paid call to your list of interested prospects. This is Alex Mandossian. You owe it to yourself to check out what he is teaching.

Writing From An Outline

I am currently writing a new eBook on how to write an ebook from an outline. This is a method I have always used to write and it seems worthwhile to share it with others.

I brainstorm my ideas and end up with a list of 8-12 "Big Ideas" that end up being my chapter titles. Then I add material and information to each big idea and see if I need to add or take away chapters. After that I put the chapters in a logical order and begin writing a little every day in one or more of the chapters. Within about a month I have a new eBook and, along the way, I have submitted many more articles to the article directories, leading people back to my blogs or websites! Give it a try if you are writing an eBook, or would like to write an ebook, using your articles.
