I think that ebook design is super important (more on ebook design and packaging here).
Here are the key aspects of creating a professional ebook that you might want to consider outsourcing:įor all of these, if you're not ready to invest in “going pro” just yet, you could also consider just launching your DIY ebook, and as soon as the sales start coming in, re-invest in sprucing things up and send out the more “pro” version to your customers that already purchased as well. Quickly! Not only do you get results faster (and income faster!), but you save yourself a lot of time. Yes, it does cost more money – but the investment pays off. See these posts on delegation skills, and which tasks to outsource to your assistant. I outsource every little thing that I don’t need to be doing myself.
But, if you’ve been watching my videos and reading my blogs, then you know that I am a fan of outsourcing errrrything. What I currently use is Paypal + Stripe (both integrated with Ontraport) because I like to have two options for my readers, but when I first started I just used Ejunkie + Paypal and it was a great low cost way to get started.Īgain, I want to emphasize that an ebook could be created and published for virtually no cost, and that is one of the reasons I love ebooks as a passive form of income so much. I also would highly suggest it or look into other credit card processors that charge you a percentage, just to give your customers a little bit more options in how they can pay you. Instead, I’d opt for PayPal Pro, which costs $30 per month. But standard PayPal isn’t exactly the easiest thing for your customers. If you use PayPal, then this too could be free. You’ll also need a way to process payments. Instead, you can pay the $5 for a service like E-junkie, a “product fulfillment website.” When someone makes a purchase, it sends out the ebook to them automatically. That would get exhausting pretty quickly. You could send out the ebook manually via email to anyone who buys it.īut you probably don’t want to send an email yourself each time you get an order. Once the ebook is created, you will need a way of sending it out to people who order online. This is the absolute bare minimum cost of creating an ebook. Once you’ve written the ebook as a document, you just convert it to a PDF, which can also be done for free online. All you really need is a Word document (I’m not going to include the costs of a computer here, but in theory you could even create your ebook on a public computer at the library or something). Yes, you can really make an ebook for nothing. The Absolute Minimum Cost of Creating an Ebook – $0
