Another option to distribute ebooks is the ones that are out of copyright. There are tons of classics out there like Sherlock Holmes and Alice in Wonderland. My recent post Increase in the Demand for Portable Ebook Readers

Thanks for the interesting post! But it is quite difficult to write ebook, not a blog post or an article with 2000 words. Even if you just combine 10 posts.

I join Mickey with his question about advertising. Could you share experience in this area?

Do you have any suggestions as to where to advertise the free ebook?

Why does the author never respond to us?

It is somewhat disappointing.

Yo,

A very interesting and informative article. I've read the whole article and I've learned so much from this. I like the idea of expanding concept of the popular post, since this is the popular post, many users will be interested about it. I will start to plan about my ebook and perhaps try to start writing. Also, I've never realized that ebook distribution is a very good strategy for publicizing sites or blog. Anyway, can you further elaborate about licensing? Thanks in advance. Again a very informative article.

I like the idea of combing best 10 posts for e-bbok. I had been looking to write an e-book for promotion lately but found myself short of time.

Hi, Amanda:

I just finished writing my first ebook last night. I went to Twitter (as i do every morning) to check my updates, and noticed your awesome post. After reading it, i have a few quick questions for you.

1. How do i add a license to the ebook, do i just add a link to the footer of the ebook referencing the respective license? or how do i do this.

2. I used Google Docs to create my ebook and it allows for active links and converts word doc to PDF, but i don't think it has a table of contents feature. Will look into this and see for sure.

3. As for distribution – i'm not sure yet what i will use – i will look into Scribd and Cnet.

4. Can you clarify on hosting. I plan to sell via Etsy at first and email a copy of the PDF to buyers. But i also plan to offer a free version to selected peeps. I do have a hosting acct with Dreamhost for my blogs, how do i add my ebook to my host acct?

The ebook i wrote last night, is the first of many to come. I suppose the first is the hardest and then the rest should come easier and faster. I hope. LoL.

Thank you so much for your most helpful article, it is right up my alley.

Let me know about my Q's above.

Missy
