The Internet has had an enormous impact on the way in which information about real estate and property is being published with more and more information being made available in the form of downloadable ebooks. Let's look at why you should consider writing and selling your own real estate ebook.
If you have a good knowledge of real estate and you can write a book providing helpful information to readers, then publishing it as an ebook is a great way to go. Electronic books or "ebooks" have changed the publishing world.
The Advantage of Real Estate Ebooks
There are several advantages with ebooks. If you write a real estate ebook you can get it published far easier and in much less time than for a traditional print book.
Once you have created your real estate ebook once, you can easily copy and email it to your customers, or have them download it immediately following payment. That means almost zero costs for production, storage, and shipping. In other words, your real estate ebook will be a highly profitable product to sell.
Don't forget that many people search for information online before even go anywhere near a bookstore. A few of the common real estate topics that people search for online include buying a house, apartments and condominiums, commercial property, mortgages, foreclosures and property management.
How Much Do Ebook Authors Make?
Some ebook authors make just a few extra dollars per month. Others make hundreds of thousands of dollars with a single ebook launch. Whether or not you can achieve that with your real estate ebook will depend upon many factors but one thing to keep in mind is that as an ebook author you will get to put more from each sale into your own pocket.
By comparison, readers readily spend around $22 for traditional real estate books such as "Howto Buy a House with No (or Little) Money Down" and "Real Estate Investing for Dummies". But real estate ebooks have good ticket prices too. Consider "How To Sell Your Home In 21 Days Or Less" that sells at ClickBank for $39.
Many traditional book authors only earn a dollar or two for each paperback book that sells, but with ebooks you will normally pocket 80% to 90% of the cover price for every copy sold.
Plus an ebook business is open 24 hours. As long as your web site is up, customers from around the world in any time zone can visit your store and make a purchase.
What Makes A Real Estate Ebook Sell?
Your real estate ebook will sell if it is well-written, if it is helpful to your target audience, and if you promote it effectively.
Be sure to know your target audience and provide information about real estate that is clear, concise and answers real questions that people want answers to.
And remember that your target audience is not limited to home buyers, it could also be sellers and real estate agents.
Ultimately sales of your real estate ebook will depend upon you actively and relentlessly promoting it. Use articles. Use advertising. Use a blog or newsletter. Don't let up and you will see sales of your ebook grow.
In closing, a couple of questions. Would you like to be recognized as an expert on real estate and property? Would you like to be able to tell people that you are a published author?
You can take the first step today by deciding to write and sell your own bestselling real estate ebook.
