Review: Ebook Creation Secrets

This brand new e-book is by writer and e-book entrepreneur Louis Burleson. It sets out the system he uses to create e-books (or have them created for him) at maximum speed with very little effort on his part.

Ebook Creation Secrets is available as an instantly downloadable PDF file. At 189 pages it's quite a substantial volume. It covers the entire process of writing and selling an e-book, from generating ideas, through creating the entire product (the text of the e-book, graphics, website to sell it from, and so on). Finally, it goes into detail about selling and marketing your e-book online.

Louis's e-book is well written and informative, though the presentation is fairly basic and a few more illustrations might have been nice. Nevertheless, this is an excellent guide to e-book writing for profit, and should be enough to fill any writer with enthusiasm for getting his or her first e-book out on the web!

This product does bear some similarities with The 24-Hour E-book Writing System by Melanie Mendelson, which I reviewed on this blog back in August (click here to see this). Melanie's e-book provides a system for actually writing your e-book which is hard to beat, but Ebook Creation Secrets is much broader in scope. In particular, it goes into far more detail about how to publish your e-book, and how to market it.

Ebook Creation Secrets is also a lot cheaper than The 24-Hour E-Book Writing System. It's currently on offer for just 6.60 USD (around 4.50 UK pounds). However, the price goes up by 5 cents every hour, so it's worth moving quickly if you're interested in this!

Finally, as I noted in my review of The 24-Hour E-book Writing System, Ebook Creation Secrets is all about writing e-books, and it's important to understand that these are normally shorter than printed books. Also, the sort of e-books that sell best online are information products that help people achieve something specific. If you want to sell a novel or a non-fiction book, you really do need my course Write Any Book in Under 28 Days!

New - added Tuesday 7 Nov: The price of Ebook Creation Secrets is up to $7.95 now, but it's still a bargain in my opinion. And not just mine. Here's what someone who bought it via my link yesterday told me in his email: "I have now downloaded 'Ebook Creation Secrets' and have already spent some time perusing it. It seems to be a treasure-chest of relevant information..."
