Marketing eBooks is a great business idea for everyone. There’s low overhead and no inventory to store so you can sell them for a reasonably low cost and still make real profits. So, why don’t more people do it?

Well, there appears to be two main reasons why individuals shy away from this opportunity. First, they don’t know they have a good idea inside; that is, people assume they don’t know what to write about. In line with that, most potential online authors believe that you have to be a really great writer to take on a project like this. Secondly, could-be eBook producers fear that you need to be widely known before anyone will be willing to buy what you’ve written.

In truth, however, all of us know enough about something to write a book. Many also have a passion for the thing we know the most about, as well as a desire to share our information and insights. Today, thanks to the Internet, with the right amount of dedication it’s actually easy to have your books published and sold. In fact, almost anyone can generate income by authoring online books as long as they learn the what, why and how of web-based self-publishing and marketing.

Of course, someone has written an eBook on writing an eBook. Its title is, Ebook Marketing 4 Newbies. Luckily, that someone is Mike Filsaime, a leader in the field of value-based information marketing. His easy to follow, detailed materials represent a great, comprehensive course in eBook format.

Subtitled, "How to Write, Publish and Promote Your Own Profitable eBook, this course literally starts with the ABCs, if you will, and takes you through every stage of the process. It provides a wealth of insider secrets and time saving shortcuts while taking the reader through everything on a step-by-step basis.

To begin with, you’ll learn all about how to identify high-interest topics and get tips for doing the internet research necessary to produce a high-value product. You’ll also receive information on outlining, writing and formatting the book so that it sells.

Filsaime provides the same level of detail to the sections on marketing and selling your book once it’s written. EBook Marketing 4 Newbies covers developing what the author calls a "killer mini-site," web site design, graphics, content-based tips for maximizing customer appeal, choosing a sales generating domain name and pricing your materials competitively.

This course also explains the backend process, like providing payment options, setting up a download page and automating customer support. In sum, Filsaime is offering his "secret" blueprint for making money by writing and selling information-based products.

As with the other books in Filsaime’s "4 Newbies" series, this one comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee but, given the amount of success he’s had in this area, Ebook Marketing 4 Newbies is bound to be a course worth taking.
