As a writer, I sometimes get requests to re-write material. It may be the client's own work. Or it may be something that the client has bought...perhaps a PLR ebook (where you are given limited rights and are supposed to change a portion of the writing to make it more tailored to your audience). And, many ...
Nope, I don't write articles (just books) - but my pal Teresa Hall does! And Teresa does a great job! She's a full-time freelancer who can crank out articles fast, with top-notch quality! And for a limited time, Teresa is holding a very cool Twitter Article Special! If you are on Twitter, go check ...
I have a pet peeve. It's a little pet peeve. I can't stand when people crank out ebooks with little to no thought. Just because it's not going to the printer doesn't mean an ebook should be some half-baked, crappily-written (yes, I sometimes make up words) piece of junk. I don't care if it's being given away for ...
A couple weeks ago I mentioned the first pitfall that some ghostwriting clients fall into - not being able to take criticism. Yes, folks, it's time for another pitfall to be identified. I see this second pitfall happen from time to time with ebooks. It's usually from those people who are just trying to ...
Yes - that's tomorrow, folks! If you are a freelance writer...or aspiring to be...then you gotta listen in on tomorrow's Blog Talk Radio Show as the wonderful Teresa Hall is interviewed by The Shoestring Business Coach herself - Teresa Beeman. Teresa is going to talk about making a living as a freelance writer. She'll have tons of ...
So last week I wrote about how outlines are an ebook's best friend. Seriously, a good outline can make writing an ebook about a kazillion times easier. But we're talking "good" outlines, my friend...not some half-assed notes you jotted down on scraps of paper. So how do you get to said "good" ...
You're excited. You've got the idea of the decade (maybe the century, even). And you're ready to rock and roll and put pen to paper (or, more typically, fingers to keyboard). Wait! Don't go all half-cocked and start whipping up a frenzy of words! You need an outline. A comprehensive outline. If this sounds familiar - "Okay, so I'll ...
So Teresa's comment the other day sparked the whole "what is an e-report" and "can I call my report an ebook?" I'll perhaps be a little controversial here and say: VERY LITTLE differentiates an e-report from an ebook. First up, an e-report is typically short. 10 pages or less. But wait...you've seen an e-report that ...
Sometimes I have clients who wonder whether their book should actually be in print. And you know, some of them should! I've actually had a client come to me with a great idea and some great research and when I took a look, I knew that the book would be a hit as a print ...
I've come across a few info products with catchy titles and all that...giving you the idea that an ebook is easy to write, easy to sell and just plain easy, easy, easy. WRONG! Ebooks are NOT easy. They are work. Good ebooks take planning and foresight. Good ebooks are written in a manner that is easy to read, ...
