The questions that are asked so very often are;

How do I make money from the internet?

How do I get onto the e-book publishing scene?

How do I go about sourcing information for a particular book?

And so on…..

So many questions. So many answers.

In this short article I'm going to concentrate on one method of putting together hot-niche topical e-books, and we do this by creating our very own unique order-pulling information products, and what's more….we can churn these out in a day! I kid you not. This is a real opportunity to copy what top entrepreneur publishers use day in day out to create order pulling e-books in quick time.

Let's get started.

Go to (goarticles.com) and this time we're not looking for ideas for topics to write about as I explained in one of my previous articles, but to acquire some content to create the e-book.

I'll explain.

People (Web site owners) submit articles to article directories so they may get some free publicity for their sites, whilst at the same time freely give away good quality information within the article. At the end of the article there (sometimes) will be a link back to the author's site. So, what we're going to do is, find out what subject we want to exploit, then look for quality articles appertaining to that topic and finally, collate all the information and create a niche, content-rich e-book.

Ok, back to (goarticles.com) and click on 'article content' and type in your choice of subject. So for example type in "dogs" and you'll get loads of results based upon that topic then, all you need to do is find at least sixty to eight quality articles related to the doggy industry and copy and paste them into a word processing document.

I did say earlier…..good quality articles! And, I can't stress that enough. Don't fall into the trap of just throwing in any old articles for speed of operation. Take your time. Pick the best of the bunch and in doing so, you're refund rate will be very low. Get it right from the start.

You've found your subject, found the relevant articles and now on to the exciting part of putting together your very first e-book, but before we do, we have one more important thing to attend to, and I do stress…this is very important. Failure to comply with this action could land you in hot water. However, do it right and it will set you up for success.

E-mail the author of each article and tell them that you are creating a book on (Subject choice) and you would be absolutely delighted to include their particular article in your book and at the same time asking them if they have any other related topics you could also use. Be sincere and offer them a link back to their site and include some information about them. The bottom line here is…you must get their permission. You must no breach copyright laws.

Author's of articles generally, will be pleased to have their articles included in your book. It makes sound marketing sense for them to get their site in front of more people by whatever means possible. It's a kind of win-win situation for both parties. They get the extra free marketing and you get to have an extra page (s) in your book. Simply discard the articles of author's that don't get back to you. With so many articles abound you'll never run out of quality content.

Now collate all of your chosen articles and put them in order that makes the whole subject flow from beginning to end. If your book say, is on tennis you could create chapters on how to solve their back-hand serve and another on the mind game of tennis and so on. Remember people who buy information invariably do so to solve a particular problem that they have so do keep this in mind whilst placing your articles.

Finally create a contents page and a few paragraphs which include a short introduction and conclusion. Explain to people what they can expect to learn from your book and don't forget to add your own name as publisher. You can also use links to create back-end sales should you wish to become an affiliate selling products related to your theme.

Now you need to turn it into an e-book. Go to (primopdf.com) and download their free software. Go into your word processing document click on "file" then "print" and then select "primopdf" as your printer and hey-presto you've just created your first e-book using other peoples articles with their cooperation.

There is no amount of e-book ideas you can come up with and no amount of content you can plunder to create as many e-books you'd ever be able to sell. All it takes is your time and a little creativity on your part and best of all it hasn't cost you a penny.
