If you have ever considered writing an ebook, please don’t. Don’t write an ebook if…
You are afraid that no one will read it. There’s no guarantee either way. However, there is a guarantee that if you don’t write the ebook, no one can possibly read it.
You don’t have your own Web host. Having a Web host gives you the opportunity to upload your ebook and allow you to monitor how many times others download it. This you really do need to write an ebook.
You don’t have a graphic artist to create a nifty cover. While it’s true that covers help attract attention, I’d rather have a so-so cover on something that might be read than nothing at all.
You don’t have an editor. Editors can be expensive. A few friends who can write (a little) can compensate for that. Ask them to proof read your work.
You have lots of money. If you have lots of money you might want to throw away a chunk of it by printing up thousands of copies of your work in hopes that folks will be buy.
You have a lousy idea. Interesting thing about lousy ideas is that you never know whether you have one until you test it. Ebooks are great testers because they cost almost nothing to produce.
Remember, don’t write that ebook…or maybe you should!
