Informative, to the point, laced with action steps. It works, if one works it. One book idea can go as far as the author wants to go.

Thanks for the note, Conie. When deciding whether to sell or give away, consider the tone and your intention with the ebook. Are you writing in a promotional tone that primarily directs readers to another product or service you offer? if so, then it may not be the best idea to sell it, but give it away as a promotional tool. But if you are packing it with useful information, then it could end up being a product you sell. Or, why not do both — sell and give away? You can start out selling it, but then bring it to your website as a free giveaway for joining your mailing list, after you’ve sold it for a few weeks or months. The choice is yours. Regardless of whether you sell or give away your ebook, make sure it offers something of value to your readers because this is your reputation/name we are talking about!

This is very on point and I thank you for this. Late last year I decided to pursue business clients after reading “The Well-Fed” Writer by Peter Bowerman. And while it’s a challenge getting my first gig (it’s probably my strategy), I’m willing to put forth that effort than to continue to accept lower paying writing jobs.

This article needs to be read by everyone and I will be posting this on my site.
