How big is the average e-Book
 

We're going to write an eBook on some health subject and are wondering how big it basicly is. If we want to sell it for 14,95, how much effort should we put in it?

What is the best e-Book software?

Its more how good is it and not how long is it.

I agree. It will be about quit smoking, it will be very good.

ive got ebook creator software that is prett simple i own full rights to sell it get with me and ill hook ay up and as to size ebooks are from a few kb to a few mb :winkwink:

How? My ICQ is 125586484

4 pages is generally best... But you should charge $99.97 for it. That would beat 95% of the competition no probs.

I got two ebooks about adwords, one is about 100 pages the other is 200. First one sells for $49 and the second one $69.

First one is 50% upsell. Second one is much better.

Got both for free, so what do I care

4-200 pages. Funny.

cheekycherry is kidding I presume.

BTW, the 100 page ebook has wide margins, etc...pretty light weight.

just cover all the material so people don't feel like they are being ripped off and you are fine

Almighty? How does one get in touch with ya?

Ebook?

50 pages , price 9,95

Almost all ebook convert 1:20 with this patern

25 pages... Advertise it as the "no bullshit approach", and sell it for 12.99

I already found some good stuff I can use for my book. Since Almighty is MIA, what is good software to create the eBooks, so that only people who actually buy it can read it?

The length of the book does not matter -- The content (perceived benefit) is important. You can have a great deal of well-written details in a small book or you could ramble through a forest.

How did you determine the price 14.95? I'll assume your research determined that the price was competitive for your effort required to produce this book. If the buyer perceives no cost benefit it won't matter what you write about. Example, why should I purchase your book for 14.95 when others offer the same information for 12.95, or worse, better information for 29.95?

Hopefully, if your writer is good, production to market will be quick. You can then see how many sales are required for you to break even or profit.

Personally, I use FrameMaker, but I'm old school.

Coyote, I agree on everything.

We're just researching the price of products that are in the same area. I did see the eBooks are more expensive than some of the best books around you can buy in the store. I think that is weird, so I am trying to offer at least the same info for a better price.

I'll have a look at framemaker.

eBook Generator any good?

Yes. eBooks is simply an 'export' feature of Frame.

The biggest hurdle is the learning curve of FrameMaker, if you intend to write your books yourself. Frame is an actual publishing program, unlike word, pagemaker, etc.

If you are requesting applications from writers, specify Frame as a requirement. Anyone who has worked with Frame can setup your books and begin production fairly quickly. It is a simple matter to export/format a resulting e-book.

just becuase your girlfriends tell you that does not mean it applies here :winkwink:

the two google adwords ebooks...goldmans and google cash...were both pdf files. I looked at some ebooks about search engines or ppc stuff and couldn't stand the format....imho, pdf is much better

it will be more interesting and fascinating if you will put some pictures on it

That's of course pretty obvious, lol. I'll try to make it a website in a book form.
