I’m finally just about there. Nearly done writing and editing my first ebook. It’s definitely been an adventure.

Of course, if you want to make money from ebooks, writing your own is decidedly the slow way to go about it. Writing takes time, and there are plenty of writers who will gladly do the job for you for reasonable prices, or private label ebooks already written and affordable. But this was a topic I wanted to handle myself.

I’m working on details like the sales page now. That and deciding for certain if I’ll use Clickbank. Probably, if only because they take care of paying the affiliates, and have tons of them. I like that kind of simplicity, and the competing services don’t have that. You have to remember it yourself, although I understand they make it easy.

Finally, I’ll be figuring out download protection. You can’t 100% keep an ebook from being passed around, at least if you’re doing it in PDF as I am, but you can do your best to keep people from downloading it directly from your site without permission, and that’s what I’m considering.

The topic? Cooking with small children underfoot! Something I’ve dealt with quite a bit.

I’ll be sharing my progress as I make it. I have a busy week around here even without trying to get anything done online, so my progress won’t be too fast, but I’m hoping to release it by Monday or sooner.
