3 Simple Ways to Write an Ebook

One of the most common questions I’ve always been asked is “Dan, how do I write my eBook?” People think it’s hard, but if you were to break it down there are only THREE simple ways to create your own eBook:

First, you can write it on your own.

This means if you’re an expert on your subject, if you know your topic pretty well, if you know your industry, and you’re knowledgeable on the topic, etc… then you can write it on your own.

And the great thing about writing it yourself is—you have all the credibility. You keep all the money. You’re positioning yourself further as the expert.

However, this way takes time. If you have good writing skills, perhaps you’ll take less but it’ll still take quite a bit of effort to create your own product. I’m not saying you shouldn’t do it, but in the initial stage it can get quite difficult.

Next, you can hire other people to write for you.

How would you do this?

Easy, you can visit web sites like Elance.com (or any other freelance web sites) to hire a ghostwriter to write an eBook for you. When you receive the completed work, you’ll be entitled to put your name on it and call it your own.

It’s a good way to go if you’re not an expert—something I’ve done plenty of times in a lot of niches. Then there’s the THIRD way which I mentioned in my writing system… that is,

To go after experts and authorities in the niche you wanna enter, and INTERVIEW them to get their contributions for the creation of your eBook.

Basically, you’re not the expert. You are just the synthesizer. You synthesize the content from these experts, these instructors and these teachers and you put together an ebook you could sell.

Finally, you have your name associated with them.

If you are getting started and you don’t have a whole lot of credibility, writing and selling your own eBook can be difficult. You see, people don’t know who you are. And since they don’t trust you—they’d wonder “why should I buy from you?”

But if you leverage other people’s contacts and other people’s knowledge, it’s much easier to launch a successful eBook. Once you sell it and become better known, then you can write an eBook yourself and publish it with confidence—knowing how your work will turn out in the future.

But in the beginning, especially in the beginning, it’s much easier to leverage other people’s credibility, their expertise and launch the product as your own.
