Hey guys, my name is Ryan McLean and I am going to be a contributor here on The University Kid. I know that I am no Jason, but I know quite a bit about the IM niche. So if you want to find out more ways to make money online then you should read what I have to write.

Jason has talked a lot about how to market and sell your own products. You can view what he has written here and here. These are the perfect guides to get you making money from your products.

But what if you do not have a product? What if you are struggling to write your own ebook. Well I am going to show you how to create an ebook in just one day and start making money from it.

1. Have an Idea

In order to begin writing your ebook you need to have an idea of what you want to make. You should be educated in the niche you are writing in (or know how to research well) and it helps if you have had some success in that area. For example if you are writing an ebook about making money online you should already be making money online.

2. Remove Distractions

In order to write the full ebook you need to remove distractions. This means you might need to turn the TV off or even turn the internet off so you are not tempted to browse the internet. Get yourself in a quiet room where you can focus and write as quickly and easily as possible.

3. Plan

Planning is one of the hardest things to do because often you will just want to get writing but it is necessary in order to write a good ebook. I find the best way to plan a book is to write down everything you want to write and then order it the way you want to write it out.

It helps if you write subtitles and then you can just expand on them when you write your book.

4. Write

Now it is time to write. Set a goal of how much you want to write and aim to reach that goal. Take regular breaks so you can keep your mind active. Do something that gets you out of the house. Go for a walk or do some exercise, go out for lunch etc.

When writing try to stay as focused as possible. It is really easy for your mind to drift off. When you are focused you should be able to write anywhere between 600-2000 words per hour. Your ebook does not need to be that long, maybe 10-20 pages, which is 3,000-6,000 words. Make sure your content is solid and you don’t talk a lot of fluff.

5. Edit

This is one thing many people fail to do (me included.) Editing is a must as it is almost certain that you have made a lot of grammatical errors. Go through the book reading it out aloud and fix up any errors that you come across. Then get someone else to read it and check it for you. Get a family member or a friend to check it or you can get someone on Digital Point Forums to check it (though you will have to pay them). This means your book will be easy to read and people will not be turned off by your grammatical errors.

6. Create Cover

Selling your ebook will be much easier if you have a cover created for it. You don’t NEED a cover but it does help to get people over the line and create more sales. You can get an ebook cover designed for $15-$100 online at forums such as digital point.

7. Sell

Now you have created your ebook in one day you can now sell it before you go to sleep. Use Jason’s tip for selling your product. The best thing about selling ebooks is that they can sell while you are asleep. Hopefully you will wake up in the morning with some sales and some extra money in your pocket.

Write an Ebook in 1 Hour

Alternatively, if you don’t want to write the ebook yourself, you can outsource it and get someone else to write it. You can spend less than 1 hour working on it and make a fair amount of money if it is a good book. You are looking at spending anywhere between $0.01-$0.04 per word for the writing of your ebook. So for 5,000 words you will need to spend between $50-$200. Make a couple of sales on a $27 ebook and you will be laughing.
