Going Solo – Writing an EBook
I’ve written a lot of books on a lot of topics in the last few months – most of them less interesting than you would expect. So, as you can probably guess, I know all sorts of useless information now that I probably would never have bothered with if I had not been commissioned to write about it. Ah, the life of a freelance writer.
After writing so many articles about so many random, non-sequential topics though, I feel as though I have knowledge rattling around inside me that needs to be used…or forgotten – I haven’t decided which is more important. Whichever way I decide to to go, writing an EBook is a big process and should mean something, right?
Tack on the added fact that when I write a book for a few hundred dollars and a clever marketer turns it into a multi-thousand dollar a month business venture, I get a little down.
And thus, eventually the energetic freelance writer turns into the bored, antsy EBook writer. And I decide to write my own books. Here’s the thought though for any freelance writers out there with an EBook in mind. It isn’t because I want all of the money from these jobs. I understand that I write as a ghost writer and that my work makes other people more money.
But, when you throw in all of the bonus information I now have flittering around in my head about AdWords and traffic building, I feel as though I should do something substantial besides writing books for other people – plus I can write about whatever I want. So, the new goal = write an EBook and make money off of it by myself. If that fails, write more EBooks for other people – whichever comes first.
