Greetings Blog Family,
For some time now I have been desiring an ebook to give away to my subscribers. Many topics have drifted through my notebooks, but none really stuck until the other day.
Great, now I have a subject and anangle, but how to produce the ebook? Well, I will share the topic with you later, but came across a technique that I want to experiment and share with you.
The source of this technique is from a book written by Joe Vitale and Han Mok called “The eCode: 33 Internet Superstars Reveal 43 ways to Make Money Online Almost Instantly - Using Only E-Mail.” Specifically, page 141, Chapter 30 entitled “Thirty-Nine Ways to Create an eBook with Little or No Writting.”
Understanding I am looking to create an ebook for my Blog Family, you understand why I might be interested in this chapter. They are going to show me how to get it done.
Taken from the book:
#1 - Ask for specific pieces of information. Send an email to a group of people, asking them for one specific piece of information, such as tips for writing classified ads.
The EXperiment:
It is my intent to test this theory to see if I could create a quality ebook using this technique.
Methodology:
1) Create an overall theme for the ebook
2) Create a list of potential articles
3) Create list of potential contributors
4) List benefits of participating for the contributing Bloggers
5) Approach bloggers on the list and set a due date
6) Write Introduction, my contribution, and conclusion
7) Follow up with Contributing Bloggers
Collect articles
9) Edit and insert graphics
10) Publish & Promote
Expectations:
I totally expect this experiment to end in an astonding success because of the bloggers In intend to have contribute and the quality of they are known to produce.
What Defines Success?
1) Quality ebook is created
2) Increases the number of subscribers to my site
I would like to know:
1) Length of time to collect materials and complete the project
2) How long to edit and create material.
Moving Forward:
I will periodically keep you posted on the progress of this experiment. Be sure to check in with me to f ind out where the experiment stands.
