About this ebook
Do you Want to Earn a Living from Ebooks?
As a single mother I asked the question: How can I be at home with my child but still pay the bills?
Job after job kept taking me away from my daughter's fleeting childhood. My frustration grew every time I missed another milestone in her life.
I combed the Internet in search of the answer. I found several places online where you could work from home but many of these meant that I was literally chained to a computer for hours on end. There had to be a better way!
One day I stumbled upon a blogger selling ebooks from his website. Not only selling them, he was actually earning his living from ebook sales!
"I can do that!" I thought.
I contacted him, buttered him up and picked his brain.
Gleefully following his instructions I finished my first ebook, published it online and drooled at the screen in anticipation.
I sat, I watched, I waited. After my first few sales the money dried up like a puddle in the desert.
What was I doing wrong?
I went out in search of more writers and picked a few more brains. I stayed up late at night researching and experimenting, determined to become a successful ebook writer. I refused to give up and quit.
I discovered the secret to ebook success.
Now I spend my days at home instead of at the dreaded day job. I take long walks with my daughter instead of punching a time clock. Money comes automatically now so I can relax and enjoy my life.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Totally dated, but sometimes it's amusing to read these little eBooks.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was incredibly full of information about getting started on writing an ebook, whether you are a novice or a veteran writer!
I have been wanting to get started with writing ebooks. Yet, I have been too timid to even sit down and think very much about ebooks and subjects to write about.
However, with the crippling fear of where to begin, or what my plan needs to look like, I have often found it rather difficult to get my pencil onto paper and begin any brainstorming sessions at all.
Annie did a wonderful job of creating a step by step how to tutorial on what needs to happen for successful ebook writing. Her descriptive explanations were extremely helpful in assisting me to release some of the tension I carry for finally writing an ebook.
Using the information that Annie shared in this ebook, I was able to quickly and easily devise my own plans for creating my first series of ebooks.
And here I was Before reading Annie’s ebook, afraid that I would not be able to accomplish creating my own ideas for just One ebook!
I really enjoy her writing style. I’m really excited to check out her other books.1 person found this helpful

Introduction
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Chinese Proverb
I am a writer. I have published numerous ebooks online and live entirely from the royalties earned from these publications.
Daily I receive emails from people asking how I do it. I normally attempt to answer these questions in just a few sentences but honestly we need a bit more than that to cover the entire subject thoroughly.
After yet another of these occasions I decided to write this book. This way I can help others by sharing all of the information that I have available without fear of leaving something out.
I have created this book for those who are serious about being an independent writer; those who are willing to do whatever it takes to become successful.
You will get as much out of this information as you are willing to put into it; if you never write your first ebook you will never have a completely passive income (unless you win the lottery that is). If you treat this as a hobby you will receive a hobby's wages.
Earning a living with ebooks is just like fishing: you won't catch dinner if you never bait the hook.
I became able to live completely off my book royalties in slightly over a year after publishing my very first ebook in August 2010. In that first year I published 10 complete ebooks online. This is the type of dedication you will need; the dedication and determination to keep typing and publishing until you reach the magic number of published works for your unique amount of expenses.
Now, instead of fighting with a day job I wake up with my daughter, send her off to school, drink a cup of coffee and sit down at my beloved computer. I will work on my latest project, clean
