For starters, you have to compete with thousands of other would-be writers vying for attention from a publisher. The truth is, only about 4% of manuscripts a publisher receives are actually turned into books. That means you have a 96% chance of the draft you slaved over being rejected. (And, this process can take years, by the way.)

Then there’s the money. If you’re lucky enough to get a book deal, the average arrangement is that you as the writer would get a 10% net royalty on all books sold. Let’s do some quick math. And, many publishers today offer advances of just a few thousand dollars.

If your book sells for $25, with a 10% royalty, this means you’d make $2.50 per book. (If you are lucky enough to get a royalty based on gross sales; many publishes today pay a lower royalty based on net, not gross.)

Now, according to Publisher’s Weekly, the average book sells less than 500 copies. On a $15 paperback paying a 6% royalty, you make $450. So the odds are really stacked against you.

But not the way Bob does it with his e-book publishing. (Keep in mind, Bob has sold more than 1,000 copies of one of his $49 e-books, making over $49,000 in sales, all of which goes directly into his bank account.)

Getting all the money instead of just 6-10% of sales is just one of the reasons why Bob’s strategy is so appealing and so lucrative. He takes the small, closed industry of book publishing and turns it on its head.

Not only does Bob show you exactly what to do to get started, he also gives you the tools to have your book published in record time. Then, he shows you point-by-point which steps you can take to promote and profit from everything you write.

Once you hear his techniques, you’ll be stunned by the number of ways you can take ordinary written material and turn it into e-books that command thousands of dollars in sales (incredibly, some of that material is already written for you — you don’t have to write a thing to get started!).

Bob details his entire e-book writing and selling strategy in three fact-filled, step-by-step webinars.

After just the first session of Bob Bly’s Ultimate Guide to E-Book Writing Success: A Comprehensive Program to Writing and Selling E-Books for Profit, you’ll understand:

• 11 ways to find top-selling ideas and convert them into high-quality, profit-commanding e-books
• What to do to make the writing process easier so you’re assured of success
• How to take advantage of the biggest publisher of information in the U.S. and sell their material to your customers without paying this publisher a penny in fees or royalties
• The precise tone that sells like gangbusters in any e-book
• The classified “SAP” process you’ll want to go through before writing your e-book
• How to pick e-book topics that keep selling for years and years (so you continue to profit from multiple e-book selling channels long after the launch of each project!)
• The secret “hierarchy” you’ll want to follow when writing your e-books so every reader is impressed
• When it’s okay to suggest websites within an e-book (and when it makes you look bad)
• How often you need to update your e-book (if at all)
• The 5 most common e-book writing mistakes — and how to avoid them

After this first hour, you’ll be well on the road to e-book publishing success.

But Bob doesn’t stop there. Beyond taking you by the hand to help you craft and sell a top-earning e-book, in Session 2 he introduces you to even more ways you can profit — with very little effort on your part! Bob explains

• Where to sell your e-book (and which places are best)
• How you can profit from an e-book without writing a thing
• 6 writing tricks of the trade — including the little-known “gist” test
• How to repurpose work you’ve already been paid for and make money from it over and over again as an e-book
• How to get other writers to do the work for you — for no charge!
• Why the year 1923 could open the gates to major e-book profits for you
• Why your hard drive might hold untapped profit potential
• 4 levels of content hierarchy you must know if you want to succeed in this business
• How to get hired as a professional e-book writer, including how to get recommended and referred out to high-paying clients

Bob’s $100,000 Model — YOURS!

One of the main reasons Bob believes every writer should know the secrets to creating a passive income stream with e-books is because of the “repeatable” nature of the process.

Once you sell your first book, you can repeat the same process and sell your second book… your third book, your fourth book, and so on!

And better yet, once your e-book business is up and running, you’ll only be “working” on your info marketing empire about an hour a day.

Plus, don’t forget this method practically guarantees you a steady income from writing, regardless of what the economy is doing. So even if you decide to take a break from writing for clients or working on other writing projects, you’ll still have money coming in through your e-book sales.

There is a feast or famine cycle of income that many writers get caught up in. You know what I mean…

Where you get a project and it pays well…

But to keep the money rolling in the door, you have to get another high-paying client, which, sometimes, is easier said than done.

But, by spending about one hour a day marketing your own e-books, you practically ensure a steady income all year long.

Now you can see why Bob calls writing and selling e-books, a writer’s backup income!

It’s a lot like driving an 18-wheeler…

Think about it. If an 18-wheeler gets a flat tire, it keeps on trucking without a hitch, because it has 17 other tires to roll on.

But a unicycle has only one tire, and if that goes flat, you aren’t going anywhere.

Writing and selling e-books gives you more than just a backup income. It opens the door to…

Multiple Streams of Income: Foolproof Protection from Financially Lean Times

With Bob’s program, you get REAL answers to launching that new income stream and getting your book promoted and sold.

Bob never talks about things “in theory.” Instead, he gives specifics that make every step of your journey to e-book writing profits easy, detailed, and clear. This includes explaining

• The single most important decision you’ll make before launching your e-book business
• 5 things you need to create to sell your e-book (once you do these things, your workload shrinks while your cash reward grows)
• How to set up your e-book business so you make money while you sleep — literally
• What e-book tasks you should do yourself and what you should always outsource
• Where to find website designers capable of putting together a rapid selling machine for pennies on the dollar
• How to prevent e-book piracy
• When to offer bonus content inside your e-book and why you’d want to bother
• When to hire other writers to write your e-book — even if you’re a writer yourself
• The secret conversion-rate formula you MUST know to help your buyer take action

The entire program is packed with helpful resources and links to Bob’s choice recommendations for all those little things that might normally stop you in your tracks — things like where to go for website hosting, what kind of shopping cart to choose, and other specific, highly technical issues that become a breeze with his advice.

Bob’s e-book writing techniques and sales strategies mean you can finally stop trading time for money. With minimal start-up costs, no inventory, no storage, and no fulfillment expenses, you’ll be blown away by how easy it is to put together this money-making plan — which also means you’ll firmly establish your place in the world as a profitable book author.

In Bob Bly’s Ultimate Guide to E-Book Writing Success: A Comprehensive Program to Writing and Selling E-Books for Profit, Bob takes you by the hand and shows you how to come up with an initial, profitable idea… then walks you through the writing process… then guides you through publishing your book. He even shares tips on collecting payment. And he addresses minor (but still important) concerns like copyright information and whether you need an ISBN number.

But that’s not all. Bob also reveals how to promote your e-book in the easiest, most rewarding way possible. This means he shares his own personal email marketing strategy, boiled down into simple action steps. Things like

• How to use a “free-on-free squeeze page” to promote your e-book — for free

• A simple way to figure out which email subject lines will bring you an avalanche of sales

There’s Never Been a Better Time to Get in on the E-Book Writing Market

You know, there was a time when writing and publishing your own book was frowned on. Mainstream publishing had an “elite” status that kept it out of reach for most writers — especially those who forged out on their own, with no connections.

But all that has changed. The big publishing houses messed up when they took more and more control from authors. They’ve gone from being the Holy Grail for writers to a quicksand pit. Turn to them and there’s a good chance your book will sink.

Thanks to e-books, the entire playing field has changed.

It started in 2011. That’s when The Wall Street Journal acknowledged the growing sales and influence of digital publishing and added e-book sales in both fiction and nonfiction to their list of bestseller rankings. The New York Times did the same.

Then, in the first quarter of 2012, e-book sales first surpassed hardcovers in the U.S. At the time, they brought in a whopping $282 million (hardcover books didn’t rise beyond $230 million).

More recently, according to the Association of American Publishers, e-books sales hit a healthy $877.1 million (that happened in the first three quarters of 2016).

And, while e-book sales for traditional publishers have been declining in recent years, they’re on the rise for self-published authors. A 2016 Author Earnings Report shows that market share for the Big 5 (the five biggest traditional publishers) is dropping. Because of that, over 50% of market share now goes to small presses, Amazon imprints, and — you guessed it — self-published authors. According to Mark Coker of Smashwords, as of mid-2016, e-books made up a quarter of dollar sales and nearly half of all units sold.

Now, this is HUGE for anyone who wants to write a book. It’s proof that reader perception is changing. Meaning, the idea that a book has to be traditionally published is losing traction fast.

In short, self-publishing an e-book opens the door for you to connect with readers across the globe. Just consider for a moment the billions of potential readers armed with tablets and smartphones. That makes your future e-books just a few clicks away from being found and bought.

What does it all mean? Simply this: There’s never been a better time to get in on the e-book writing market.

Which brings me back to Bob’s program. You see, a lot of books out there tell you how to write a book. A fair number of others offer tips on how to make money off it.

But Bob gives you all that and more with Bob Bly’s Ultimate Guide to E-Book Writing Success: A Comprehensive Program to Writing and Selling E-Books for Profit. In just one day, you can get every question answered, including

• Which topics have the highest profit potential
• How to write a saleable e-book in record time
• Which publishing options are best for you
• Best ways to promote your book with little cost
• How to price your book
• How to earn 100% royalties

And remember, you’re getting these tips from a proven veteran in writing for substantial profit. Millions of copies of Bob’s paperbound books and e-books have been sold!

When you sign up for Bob’s program, you’ll get immediate access to two instructional webinars and one incredible, recorded interview with a seasoned expert in publishing (I’ll tell you about that in a minute… ).

You can access these recordings at any time, 24 hours a day, as often as you like. But the best part is, you can listen to them entirely in less than four hours — which is a HUGE bonus if you’re pressed for time.

But what’s great here is that you can launch your first e-book writing venture the same day you enroll in this program. You won’t have to wait months to wade through the information.

This program is all about taking action — in a smart way — and building your writing business so it lasts for the long haul.

It’s the same value you’d get from attending a major conference with in-person direction from a recognized expert. Only instead of just introducing you to the topic, Bob Bly takes you from start to finish in this comprehensive program.

And instead of paying the thousands of dollars in fees it takes to attend a live event, we’re offering Bob’s professional, proven advice for only $249.

That means for less than the price corporate clients gladly pay Bob for just 15 minutes of his time, you get three instructional programs wrapped up in one: how to write, publish, and profit from e-books.

That reminds me — there’s something very special about the third part of Bob’s program, especially if you’re interested in writing fiction…

This Publishing Field is WIDE OPEN for Fiction Writers Looking to Profit

E-book writing success isn’t limited to nonfiction topics. If you write fiction and dream of getting published and making money from your stories, you’ll love what I’m about to share.

Gone are the days when you struggled for a publishing deal, only to have to wait three years for your book to even appear on shelves. And never again will you have to lay your story to rest, stuffed in the back of a drawer because getting it published is hopeless.

In fact, Bob just recently published a collection of his science fiction short stories. And, they won an Honorable Mention at the New York Book Festival!

Thanks to e-books, you can debut anything to the world in two weeks or less, from fiction to nonfiction to family memoirs or even article collections and niche topics.

And with an e-book, your profit margin can shoot up to between 70% and 100%. Compare this to the standard 6%-15% you’d get with a traditional publisher.

Bob found the ideal person to tell you how to do this. That’s why the third part of this comprehensive e-book writing program is a one-on-one interview with Gordon Burgett, one of the TOP experts in the world on ways to publish your book and get it sold.

Bob’s interview with Gordon holds superior value for any aspiring writer who wants to be published on Amazon or with any other e-book distributor. Whether you want to publish fiction, nonfiction, or your family memoir, this exclusive interview tells you

• How to get your books into digital print at no charge (there’s more than one way!)
• Whether you should write an e-book differently than a paper book
• What you should NEVER put in a digital book
• How to make your e-book work on virtually EVERY e-Reader
• Everything you need to know to understand the different kinds of e-books
• How to save money and make money publishing with major digital retailers

• Step-by-step, what boxes to check to format your book with major e-publishers
• The best pricing for an e-book — and which dollar amount you should never charge

• How to turn out-of-print books into new bestsellers with profits that go straight into your pocket
• Why you should consider making a digital audio book, and how to do it FREE
• Other publishers besides Kindle you should know about

But it doesn’t stop there. Thanks to Bob Bly and Gordon Burgett and this million-dollar conversation, you won’t have to worry about “beginner’s hurdles.”

On Kindle and other e-book readers, you can publish reports, articles, short stories, full-blown novels, nonfiction books, whatever. The hurdle is just making sure they look professional, and that’s where Gordon Burgett’s advice paves your way to success. By the end of this interview, you’ll have a clear understanding of how the entire process works.

They’ve made every part of the e-book publishing process accessible, including specifics about e-book format and design. You’ll learn

• How to make your entire e-book look like it was formatted by a professional
• Whether you should use color in an e-book, when to put it on the cover, and which colors are best
• When to indent, and what width and lengths of paragraphs improve the reading experience
• Submission formats that ensure your e-book isn’t “rejected”
• What length is best and where to stop
• The best type of file to submit online and where to go to do this

You’ll never have to worry about threats from a publisher that they’ll pull your title, stop promoting it, stick it on the backlist, or ditch it altogether if it doesn’t sell well. YOU are in charge of your success.

And to make it even easier to get started…
