Would you like to solidify your expert status in your respective field, score another stream of income, and promote your business? It’s time to get published and write an e-book.

With the advent of technology—we crave information immediately, passionately and succinctly. An electronic or e-book allows you to become a self-published author and add your innovative approach to a topic within 7 to 10 days.

The great news is writing an e-book requires very little commitment. No need to purchase any pricey software—MS Word or other word processing software is suitable, and, you can complete your book in a weekend. The e-book can be as few as 5 pages and no more than 50. A great guide on completing an e-book is How to Write and Publish Your Own e-Book in as Little as 7 Days (Morgan James Publishing;$19.95).

The key to writing a winning e-book is that it must be informative, engaging, be of service, and offer a new spin on what’s already out in the marketplace.

When you are ready to write your e-book, start with an outline—think about what you do best—legal advice, cooking, haircare, human resource retention, marketing, finance, public relations, dating, etc and then start researching. Next write ten things you would offer in your book for the readers that would be considered “must” have information and resources.
