But, I digress.
How I Started Writing and Selling Ebooks Online
When I first waded into the self-publishing waters, I had no idea what I was doing – and my sales reflected it. For years they sucked!
But I didn’t quit -- primarily because self-publishing was never something I had as a career goal. I published my first ebook because I ran an editorial staffing agency at the time in New York City. I hired a lot of editorial professionals – and many of them had questions about how to land more gigs (basically how to freelance). So, I put together a simple word file that contained the answers to all of the questions I’d been asked over the years. That was my first “ebook” back in 2004.
Fast forward to 2008/2009. I’d written several more ebooks and was starting to see a steady increase in sales. That’s when I delved into self-publishing in earnest and made it one of my primary income streams. Following are three mistakes I’d been making over the years that I immediately set to work correcting – because it was costing me a lot of money.
3 Things I Did that Increased My Self-Publishing Income
I. Professional Ebook Covers: For years, I sold ebooks with no covers. Then, I got “fancy” and used Inkwell Editorial’s logo (my freelance writing website) as the cover for all of my ebooks. Finally, in 2010, I started creating professional covers for all of my ebooks.
I noticed a jump in sales. And it makes sense. Self-publishing has increased to the point where it definitely does cost you sales if you don’t have not only a cover – but a professional-looking cover. It separates you from the “novices.” Even though this is what most self-publishers are, it doesn’t mean that you have to present like that.
II. Signed Up with a Digital Download Service Provider: If you sell ebooks online, buyers expect to get their purchase(s) immediately. When I first started selling ebooks online, buyers had to wait 24 hours (sometimes more) for me to manually email them the ebook after they made their purchase.
I sold ebooks online this way for years.
Then, I ran across e-Junkie. I went from barely making weekly sales to making almost daily sales. This was without a doubt one of the best things I did to increase my self-publishing income.
III. Create Lines of Ebooks: What I mean by this is, write several ebooks on similar subjects – IF it’s something your audience is clamoring for.
For example, I wrote my first ebook on SEO writing (How to Make $250+/Day Writing Simple, 500-Word Articles) in 2008. I’ve since written three others on this topic – on various niches within it that subscribers to my newsletters and blogs have told me they want to know about (directly and indirectly).
How to Write an Ebook That’s a “Hot Seller”
So listen to your audience. They’ll clue you in on potential hot sellers. How?
Do certain posts on your blog/website receive a lot of comments/questions? Do certain links on social media get shared a lot? Are you asked the same questions about a particular topic over and over again (in various formats)?
These are all clues that your audience is clamoring for certain info – info you may be able to pull together in a best-selling ebook.

An amazing testimony on a spell caster who brought my husband back to me.. My name is Olivia Phimzile,i live in Florida,USA,and I'm happily married to a lovely and caring husband ,with two kids.A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my husband .so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce.he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore.So he packed out of the house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much begging,but all to no avail.and he confirmed it that he has made his decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only way i can get my husband back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for him too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the email address of the spell caster whom he visited.{supremetemple@hotmail.com}. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next day.What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back.So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster. So, i will advice you out there to kindly visit the same email supremetemple@hotmail.com,if you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to "bringing your ex back.

He Returned my Husband, Saved my Child and Got Me A Job. He is Dr. Ogbakija
My name is Tamra Martinez, I am here to testify to the good work of the Best
African Traditional Doctor As he Call His Self. 4 years ago, my husband left home, he never returned, no phone calls, no letters, no emails, and no sign of him anywhere. My daughter got sick with multiple sclerosis; things were so tough for me. I had lost hope, 2 years ago, i met a psychic on the internet, he said he would help me, i paid over $600 a hope of at least saving my daughter’s life and getting a job that i was contesting for, and still nothing happened, i lost hope completely, my daughter's situation got worse each day.
Last month, i saw a posting concerning the good works of the most powerful traditional doctor in Africa, Africa has always been my hope in spells but i never trusted any spell caster from there after being scammedo. But i decided to try Dr. Ogbakija. I gave him a try...i paid about $170, for all three spells (Bring Lover back, Healing spell and Career spells). In a matter of weeks, my husband called me and told me he was sorry and that he wants to come back to me and that he would explain everything when he comes back home, three days later, i got a new job with a loan from a finance company, right now, my daughter's condition is getting better each day and i trust she would be well in a matter of days. I want to thank you again Dr. Ogbakija for your efforts and for bringing my life back to normal and so close to perfection. When i talk about this man i don’t want to stop because he is my hero of the century.
Thanks Dr. Ogbakija

Hello, my name is Mrs Tevez Johnson ,
BEWARE OF SPELL CASTER'S WHO ARE SCAMS....
I want to use this opportunity to share my testimony, i was married with a man called Johnson, we have been living happily for the past 8 years no problem, one day when he went out with a friend, he came back late to the house very drunk. Then i was very sad because i have not seen him in such manner before, then the next morning he said he was going to the office, then after some hours later my friend called me and I responded to the called and she shouted at me that what am i doing at home when my husband is in a hotel room with another woman, i was shocked to hear that because i trusted my husband with all my heart i never expected such manner. Later that day when he came back from work , he change automatically i greeted him he did not respond to my greetings i was lost of hope, after two days later when he came back from work he drove me out of the house with a machete, then i packed out of the house. I really love my husband with all my life ,soul, and heart. I could not resist it then i went to my friends house to tell her to help me beg my husband to allowed me come back home but to no avail, i cried day and night until i decided to go in search of a spell caster to help me get my husband back but no one want to help me but just to demand for more money, until my friend introduced me to one Mama Ivie a great spell caster from the accent Paris of Africa, who help me bring my husband back, when i first contacted her, she told me that my husband was under a voodoo spell and that she will bring him back to me but i did not believe her because i have tried so many spell caster but all to no avail, she said that she is a different woman that she has helped so many people with issues like mine so i decided to give her a try by giving her all she requested along with the sum of $160. And to my greatest surprise my husband came search for me to please come back home.
