Writing and publishing eBooks is a great way to make money online. It’s not a way to get rich quickly, but writing eBooks is a great way to make passive income, and it isn’t difficult. You just need to follow a few steps to be successful. In this post, we’ll look at how to write an eBook and make money so you can make passive income from your website and other platforms.
Why Write an eBook?
Writing and selling eBooks is a great way to make passive income. It’s a digital product, so the only work involved after the writing process is promoting the eBook. For both fiction and non-fiction, writing an eBook is a great way to build an audience or credibility.
How Much Can You Make?
The amount you make is based entirely on you- your writing quality, the topic of choice, marketing efforts, platform, etc. Since this article is about making money with eBooks, we’ll focus on non-fiction. Fiction is more difficult to break into and I don’t recommend trying it if your goal is making money.
Platforms such as Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing take a portion of the sale. Amazon has two different types of royalties to choose from, based on the pricing you set. The royalty plans are 35% and 70%. For a price range of $0.99-200.00, you’d get 35% of the sale. For a price range of $2.99-9.99, you will get 70% of the sale. This is the price range that Amazon prefers, so they pay the royalties for that price range to encourage publishers to choose this range.
While there are lots of platforms to choose from, Amazon is the largest platform for eBooks. The Amazon platform allows you to sell eBooks in marketplaces across the globe. There is also a lot of competition, and the marketing is still up to you. Still, Amazon is the best option if you want to sell your eBook somewhere other than your website. Amazon does have a few marketing resources and promotions to help you.
You could sell from your website and not share the profits with a platform, but there is more work involved in publishing and marketing.
