    No More Excuses!: Write a Successful E-book Now

    About this ebook

    A year ago I was where you are now -- wavering as to whether I had the gumption to write and publish an e-book. Since I decided to quit pondering it and jumped on the e-book bandwagon, I have published six e-books in less than 10 months. Every second of the journey is a new adventure and it is more exciting than I could have imagined!

    No More Excuses will take the guesswork out of e-book writing and publishing for you. It will hold your literal hand from pinning down your e-book topic to writing the book to editing, publishing, and marketing your masterpiece. Even those with minimal technical skills can easily publish an e-book. I take no shortcuts by telling you to hire someone to create your e-book cover or do the formatting for your book to get it ready to upload it for sale; you will incur no costs throughout the process if you don't want to. Now hold on and get ready for a life-changing adventure!

      Benefits of an E-book

      Before we get into the gist of writing and publishing your e-book, I want to point out some of the numerous perks of publishing one. If you find yourself faltering and wondering why you are spending your time and energy creating an e-book, take a look at the list to jump start your resolve.

      Easy method of sharing your knowledge or a story

      No-cost way of getting published

      You can skip the traditional, often-painful method of seeking out a publisher

      E-books are a rapidly growing industry, ensuring your words will not be extinct in the foreseeable future

      You can write the book anywhere

      Another income stream that will continue for years to come

      If you’ve already written a blog, articles, or other material, you may already have a wealth of your written words to draw from

      As I wrack my brain, I can’t think of one negative to writing and publishing an e-book. It’s an exciting adventure, one you won’t regret. Although chances are you would regret not doing it in years to come.
