Most authors take months, even years, to write a traditional printed-on-paper book of about 90,000 words.
Ebooks are shorter. Some can be written within 14 days.
My friend Richard Webster usually writes four books a year. He has had 110 paper books published.
Everything he writes gets published and he hasn’t had a rejection in decades.
The reason is simple.
Richard discusses the project with his publisher BEFORE he starts writing a single word and, he has learned HOW TO WRITE NON-FICTION.
In this ebook I’ve listed the top 48 topics* which a super-successful ebook author says are “the hottest topics to write about because they always sell”.
This ebook explains how YOU can become a writer of short ebooks which sell on Amazon. Your royalties will keep rolling in for 50 years.
This ebook includes three BONUS items. For example:
Bonus #3. If you get stuck and the various Q&A places I’ve shown you STILL haven’t helped you, call me. Yes, telephone me.
Buying this ebook includes my offer to HELP YOU, if I can.

Ebooks are quicker to write than printed books
Ebooks are produced in a shorter time than paper-bound books for several reasons.
Significantly, they tend to have fewer pages, typically from 20 to 100.
Most non-fiction ebooks address a particular niche topic or problem. When that topic is covered, the ebook is complete. Job done.
Writing short ebooks is a mind-set thing. The vital first step is to identify a narrow niche topic you’ll enjoy writing about. That’s what makes it fun.
I proved (to myself) this tactic works when I set out to write a complete ebook in one day.
Absolute truth.
I started at 8am Saturday 26 November 2011 and finished at 7pm, with only a short break for a sandwich. The excitement of the task drove me on.
It was a simple instruction book. ‘How to grow sexy upside-down tomatoes’. Amazon code B006A8N1YI http://tinyurl.com/87rdjup
It sells steadily at $5.
I took all the photos and wrote the text in a burst of two-fingered enthusiasm. Frankly, it was a buzz. BTW, Tom Gardiner is me.
Why are ebooks cheaper?
Usually, they are short books. They don’t have as many hours of the author’s time invested in making them, and you know “time is money”.
They don’t need typesetting, plates, printing, ink, paper, binding, cartons, warehousing, insurance, trucking, shipping or distribution.
These overheads are significant in the traditional book publishing industry.
Best of all, ebooks never get remaindered. So there is no built-in fund for book recovery, return shipping, shredding and waste disposal.
Choose a suitable category
The category I’ve had most success with is ‘How to … ’ titles.
‘How to do this’ or ‘How to do that’.
They are simple instruction books.
Usually they serve an urgent need.
Or they can address a high-intensity hobby interest.
People with pets, boats, horses, planes, grandchildren etc are well known to spend beyond the common sense level on their passion. We all do this!
