You'll Make More Money
How-to books are profitable. People are willing to pay good money for the kind
of instant practical information that how-to books tend to offer. It's a well
known fact in the publishing industry that people will pay much more for a
how-to book than they will for a best-selling novel.
You'll Gain Respect and Credibility
Once you have published a how-to book on any subject you will be regarded by
everyone, including other experts in your field, as an expert in your own right.
Your book will give you instant credibility in your area of specialty. And,
because they have read your book and gained trust in you, people will be much
more open to your future initiatives.
You'll Write Your Book Quickly and Easily
Writing a how-to book is a quick and easy way to become a published author for
the first time, with the least amount of effort. After all, how hard can it be
to write about how to do something in which you are already an expert? You'll be
writing about a subject that you already know all about. It's almost a
no-brainer!
You'll Grow Your Business
Once your how-to book gets into main stream distribution, it will have a
snow-ball (or viral) effect. Readers will soon start visiting your Web sites,
e-mailing you, and/or calling you up. This will quickly lead to additional
business for you in areas not directly related to your book such as sales of
other products and/or consulting services.
You'll Become Well Known
How-to books are great marketing tools. Writing a successful how-to book in your
field will often lead to recognition beyond that field. You will be seen as an
"author" in your own right and people and companies will begin to seek you out.
You'll be able to ride that credibility wave to other authoring and related
opportunities outside of your own specialty area.
Comprehensive Step-by-step Manual For Creating And Writing A Professional
Quality How-to Book Or EBook.
E-book publishing as an industry is growing in the double digits yearly,
according to the quarterly reports put out by IDPF. Among the first
Internet-only publishers of new e-books were Boson Books, Hard Shell Word
Factory and Online Originals, all founded in the mid-1990s. Each pioneered
different aspects of what has since become common practice amongst e-book
publishers, e.g. the support of multiple formats including PDFs, the payment of
much higher royalty rates than conventional publishers, and the online
presentation of free samples. Hard Shell Word Factory set the first professional
standards for commercial e-books and pioneered author-friendly contracts. Online
Originals was the first e-book publisher to win mainstream book reviews
Less physical space is required to store e-books. Hundreds (or thousands) may be
carried together on one device. Approximately 500 average e-books can be stored
on one CD (equivalent to several shelves' worth of print books) Because they
take up little space, e-books can be offered indefinitely, with no 'out of
print' date, allowing authors to continue to earn royalties indefinitely , and
allowing readers to find older works by favorite authors.
