Look at your life. Think about the things you dreamed of doing when you were a child and growing up. How many of those things have you actually done? If you’re anything like me, then it’s a difficult truth to accept… but odds are we’ve all left a lot of things on the drawing board. Ideas that we’ve had, vacations we wanted to take, people who we wanted to meet. The list can go on and on, and it’s uniquely personal for all of us. The reason why so many people fail to make money with eBooks is because they just haven’t gotten around to actually creating and selling one.

You’re probably thinking that there must be some other explanation. I’ve spoken with hundreds of people over the past 24 months. All of them aspiring eBook publishers. Want to know a startling fact? Only a handful have ever created their first title and started selling it. You might really be wondering how this could be possible. There are a lot of factors. For example, some people want to start an eBook publishing business but don’t have the time. Others desire the end result of wealth and freedom but don’t have the discipline or desire to put in the effort.

If you’re thinking about starting an eBook publishing business, here’s some advice. Begin with an end in mind. In other words, if you want to make $500 per month, then really focus on what that would mean to you. Maybe it means going out to dinner, or paying off bills. With some effort and focus, you can be one of the handful of people who actually make money in this business.

I was watching TV a few nights ago when I received a phone call from a friend. Lately, it seems, a lot of my friends are interested in making money online. For most, it’s a way to earn some extra cash to help make ends meet. For others, it’s a desire to eventually quit their jobs. The friend who called me had some news to share. He had made his first sale. I wasn’t surprised. We had spoken at a party the previous weekend and I shared with him a simple strategy for making some quick money on the Internet. It revolved around publishing a short eBook (about 40 pages) compiled from public domain materials and then buying some inexpensive advertising to promote the product. It worked, as planned.

There are three things you need to understand if you want to make money in this business:

The first is that if you sell what people are already interested in and buying, the odds of making money quickly go up dramatically. In other words, give people what they’re looking for. It doesn’t matter if you’re not personally interested in the subject.

The second factor is advertising. You need to tell people that your product exists. There’s no way you can make money on the Internet unless you can get the word out about what you’re trying to sell. That makes sense, right?

The third and final factor is getting people to buy what you’re selling. My simple formula for this is to tell them what you’ve got, tell them what it will do for them, and then tell them how to buy what you’re selling. Wash, rinse, repeat. That’s one approach to quickly making money on the Internet.
