Adding Fresh Content to Your Existing Ebook
By: Brian Holte
Ok, so you?re at that stage where you?ve gotten just enough content to publish your first e-book, finally the grunt work is out of the way.
Sit back and pat yourself on the shoulder for a job well done.
Next task on the list?
How to add fresh content to your already existing e-book, I personally find it much easier to add to an already existing e-book then to create an e-book!
But one does not shine without the other.
Can you think of any ?sub-niche? market your target audience would like more information about, something that would definitely grab their attention and add:
How do you go about find that all elusive nugget?
Always turn to your target market for the best ideas on which ?sub-niche market?s? to explore next, not what you think they might be interested in but what they are buying and recommending to others.
Case-In-Point:
A few months ago I created an e-book related to a certain breed of dog. I made it through the grunt work and now simply add to the e-book one step at a time, one product review or interview at a time.
I ended up picking (by reading what the most used products or most wanted products by this particular target market were) a pedigree software program for a back end sales product. This pedigree software program helps owners of animals keep all the details they could ever want to track in a database about their pets.
What owner wouldn?t want to know about a software program that could help make tracking certain details of their pets easy and convenient?
So I simply contacted the owner of this particular software program, told him that I was interested in including information about his product in the e-book I had created. He knew it was a win/win situation and gladly agreed to answer a couple of questions regarding how his software worked and what benefit it could bring to the reader.
The end result, more content for the e-book with only a few minutes of work involved on my part plus the possibilities of making commission from the back end sales of the pedigree software which sells for $95.00 U.S., which I get a nice chunk of every time someone clicks on my link and makes a purchase.
So you see, it?s not that hard to add fresh content to your e-book.
With the right angle, you can make your e-book unique from your competitors, more informative to the reader, putting more money in your pocket.
Summary:
Expanding an already existing e-book is simply a matter of reading what products your target market purchases, analyzing their wants and needs, focusing on one ?sub-niche market? at a time.
