Writing
the eBooks has never been that easy. It is made of only
a few steps. The most important is to have a good
content, meaning the written material, pictures, tables,
etc. Basically, you can use Word for preparation of text
and other content.

Content
of the eBook can be anything: a novel or a short story;
it can be your business presentation; you can make a
teaser for your web-site. Simply you can take anything
for the eBook content.

Once
finished,
prepared material should be converted to PDF format. Of
course, you can keep it in Word, but converting it to
PDF you make it more appealing, but you also assure that
your work will be kept in original form. Though even the
PDF can be changed too, is more likely that once you
have your e-book in PDF it will stay as it is.
Converting
the Word content to PDF is very easy with plug-in
software. There are many of them, mostly free. The good example
is Foxit
Creator. Download and install this plug-in. Once
installed, this plug in will be represented with the

Once
you are satisfied with the content, just press the Foxit
button and your ebook as PDF document will be created in a matter
of seconds. Good thing about Foxit is that is very fast
and, the most important, it maintain the hyperlinks
within document, therefore making your PDF e-book linked
to your web-site or other web, if you like it.
Now,
since you have your proud e-Book, it is time for
distribution. You can send it by e-mail to your
customers and friends. You can put it on your web to be
downloadable. You can upload it to some server like www.rapidshare.org.
You
might even decide to sell it, if you consider that your
eBooks is value adding enough to be offered for sales.
Basically,
there are countless ways to exploit the concept of the eBooks
publishing. If you use it in a smart way, it can help you
to promote you, your business, your web-site, your
project, your idea ... Just imagine what you want and
simply do it.

| Tips
for making the eBook:
-
Use middle size font, not small size. Readers
usually do not print e-books, but they read
them on the screen. Small font can be
annoying.
- Split text in paragraphs with head titles.
- Use pictures, drawings, tables etc. if it is
possible.
- Leave your contact mail, link to your web page,
etc.
- Do a spell check before publishing an e-book.
- Give your e-book to a friend for a short review,
prior to publishing.
- Issue up-dates of your e-book and re-publish
them.
