Some of you may be good at writing and must possess some skills or knowledge which you can convert into an e-book. The E-books are very much in demand these days. People prefer to buy e-books as they can be accessible on mobiles and laptops.

There is no need to approach different publishers to get your book published. In this self-publishing revolution, anyone can publish their own books.

Always keep in mind that there is always a high competition as there a low entry barrier.

But with some tips you can improve your success as a self-published author:

• Research your niche carefully. You must ensure that your book must be on the topic which should not be too competitive but it still has a decent audience.
• Put your best possible efforts to write a good book, if possible you can hire a professional editor.
• You must also invest in good quality book cover and description. These are the two main points which can attract more attention.
• Once your book is published you must give proper attention to the promotion of the book.

So write the best book, build an email list of your ideal readers. You can add value to them by your content on a regular basis via email marketing. These will be your loyal customers and chances are that they will buy their next e-books as well.

The more you will learn and implement the process, you will earn more money online.
