To the extent that you visit Internet entrepreneur related forums, it is hard to ignore the fact that so many people seem to have trouble making any serious money with eBooks. This is something that has always troubled me. Not because I necessarily want a bunch of extra competition (although, I really DO enjoy helping people get started in this business), but because it has never really made sense to me that people would have a hard time making money with eBooks given how relatively easy the process is. However, the more I think about it, there seems to be an answer for why this is the case.
The overwhelming majority of people who get involved with eBooks are doing so because they are simply interested in making some extra money. There's nothing wrong with that. However, that desire to make some extra money can often times lead people to become very frustrated and to give up at the first sign of trouble and to jump to something else in search of a quick and easy profit. In other words, they might get involved with eBooks with the best of intentions, but will ultimately quit given the fact that they're not seeing immediate results. Maybe you're thinking that's a very reasonable response -- and it would be, but there's something that you probably don't realize. Most of these people have never even published an eBook.
How can you expect to make any money in the eBook publishing business if you never get around to publishing your first eBook? That is why the complaints of all the people who have had trouble making money with eBooks rings a little bit hollow to me. They really haven't given themselves a chance to be successful.
Here's the bottom line: get yourself a step-by-step blueprint that will help you avoid costly trial and error and that will put you in a significantly better position to make money as an eBook publisher. Have a goal, and create a day-to-day schedule for yourself to follow. Then, based on that, assess your results.
