Self e-publishing: easy, simple, fast and lucrative

Freelancer writers’ goldmine: self e-publishing – are you making money from your knowledge, or is someone else making money from your words?

If you visit out-sourcing sites like Elance.com, you’ll find that each week, many requests for bids are entered for ebooks, or reports, or other information products, like video scripts.

Now, while this a good way for freelance writers to earn money, as long as you don’t place your bid too low, it’s not ideal, because writing an ebook, even a short one, is a lot of work. And of course, once you’ve done the work, because it’s a work made for hire, you have no further income coming in from that piece of writing.

Write your own ebooks and sell them
You may have noticed that I sell ebooks about writing. I’ve been selling writing manuals for several years, and while it won’t make me rich, it’s nevertheless a good source of passive income. I can write an ebook in a few weeks, and go on selling it for years.

Sell ebooks on a variety of topics
You can write and sell ebooks on any topic which appeals to you. Look around the Web: many, many writers are already selling ebooks, you can too.

Welcome to the global marketplace: it’s a haven for freelance writers. You can turn you skills with words into cash which flows into your bank account 24×7.
