Since we are talking about passive income, allow me to share
another passive income avenue of mine and that is my eBook. A few months ago, I
released the eBook on the 52 Weeks Money Challenge. In case you don’t have a

Making an eBook involves a lot of time and work. As a matter
of fact, I was not able to create this one overnight. More so, it requires a
lot of deliberation whether to release an eBook or not. But here’s how I get
started with mine.
Start with an Idea
The very first thing to do of would be authors would be to
start with an idea or a topic. Identifying this one was relatively a no-brainer
on my end since I simply identify the post that was received by many. And it
was the 52 Weeks Money Challenge. With that I know that I have to make an ebook
out of it considering the great reception that post has. If you happen not to
know a topic for your future ebook, find something that belongs to these two
parameters. One, it is something you are interested to write about and second,
something that can help other people. It would be hard on your end to write an
ebook of a topic you know you are not interested. More so, you will have little
reception of your ebook if it won’t help other people. An ebook after all, must
deliver information.
Make an outline
If you can still remember your elementary days or high
school days where you were required to write an outline prior to writing your
formal themes, this holds true in my case. I started outlining the topics I
would want to include so it will give me an overview of the soon to be content
of my ebook. Even more, this outline also serves as my table of contents. See,
I was able to hit two birds with one stone.
Start writing
Writers can’t seem to finish something because in the first
place, they haven’t started anything. Same goes with writing an ebook. The very
crucial step is when to write. Seeing that blank space of paper or a clean
document in your computer literally erases any ideas that you have in mind.
Hence, make sure that you get to start writing even a single sentence or
paragraph. From there, ideas would just flow literally. Don’t mind about the
grammar. Let it flow and just write.
Set a time
Writing takes a lot of time and dedication. Therefore, in
order to finish an ebook and more so realize it, dedicate a portion of your day
when to write. I tend to write a lot in the morning hence I set my
ebook writing time in the morning around 7AM. Good thing I got previous
posts that relate to my ebook topic hence, adding certain data or information
is relatively easy.
Involve others
I don’t know how to design hence I asked someone to design
the cover page for me. And I also got someone to edit my ebook. Though I
shelled out some cash in the process, I know it was one good investment. Of
course, you would want to give the best to your future readers right? Hence,
hire only the best people you can think of who will do the job flawlessly.
The next part would be earning from it. This can be
considered your passive income since anyone can just buy your ebook and it will be
emailed to them. The hardest part would just be the marketing. However, you can
never tell when the next buyer would be. It would just surprise your inbox that
someone is interested to purchase your ebook. And that is perhaps
one of the perks of having one.
I know I am still a neophyte in the ebook industry but I can
most definitely say, this will not be my last. I have set plans to produce more
in the near future. I fervently hope that you too would embrace the idea of
having a passive income avenue by your side like writing your very own ebook.
