I bought How to write and publish an ebook in 7 days April 23. because I had to contribution to an international meeting in Tunis May 27 2011. The topic 'Towards green economy'. I spend less than 3 days reading the book (on paper, received 2 days after purchase!), which gives invaluable information on how to start writing. The method is clear and nicely written. Yesterday, 4 (weeks) later I shared my ebook 162 A5p ebook: conomie verte Maintenant! (in French) as an electronic blue print version.

Applied to your project it will also produce impressive results.

Writing and publishing in 7 (days) is somehow overambitious. Also, nothing to deal with earning million(s) of $.
The major topics to further discuss/develop are:
- how to produce a clean PDF or HTML file from commonly used word processing softs. Because it is really frustrating that you cannot exactly get as pdf what you see on your screen. Generating .html file is also quite a mess and it gives even more frustrating results.
- how to publish and have your ebook distributed efficiently. Sharing via your own mailing lists are quite inefficient.

Next step is to have the first edited version of my ebook Economie verte Maintenant! via Amazon.

I can't outdo Peter's review--just want to say that one of my most promising Reiki Classes used her 21-day writing exercise to find very helpful self-knowledge: pick one topic that she suggests, and write on it for 15 minutes a day for 21 days...it's positively AMAZING what you will realize about yourself, your inner drives and how you angle yourself for results; behaviors and deep needs.

I read this ebook in one sitting.  It's well written and very interesting.  I'm fascinated by the plan of action he set out.  I intend to begin implementation soon.  I'll provide updates on my progress via my blog, eclecticreader.net.  It's time to take a chance towards creating a more profitable future.

Aside from getting Olivia Newton John's "Physical" stuck in my head, I loved "Let's Get Digital."

I have written my whole life, but had never made it far enough to submit what I've written to an agent or editor to start collecting rejection slips.  Now with the publishing revolution fully underway, I realize I don't have to go that route, and there are other options available to me.

This book delivers an excellent, blow-by-blow walk through of the process of publishing an ebook.  If you are considering this option, you will be doing yourself a favor by reading this.

I found Andrew's book "How to Write a Novella in 24 Hours" super useful and timely. I'm writing more and needed an additional resource for more guidance. It's a relatively speedy read and addresses a wide variety of areas from character development to book covers and promotional ideas. It's giving me additional confidence.

Full disclosure: The author gifted me a copy.

This book is fabulous.  The author takes you through using LinkedIn step-by-step.  You won't read it all in a day or two - or at least you shouldn't.  Even if you push it, expect to take a week or three to get everything properly setup.  Then look over here daily/monthly spreadsheets that you can download so you keep on track going forward (I edited them to fit me)

This is not a book,this is a brochure! You can read it in five to ten minutes. Don't be mislead with big book on the covers. You can write a "book" like this in one afternoon,surfing on internet!

WOW!!!  This eBook is blowing me away.  There is so much value here!  I can't wait to create my next eBook so that I can take advantage of all of the amazing advice wrapped up in this package.  From start to finish, I am so impressed and honored to be a contributing author.

I know that when I wrote my chapter on "Overcoming the Fear of Public Writing" that I aimed to give the reader as much practical value as I could.  I am delighted to say that my fellow authors did the same.

If you are interested in making an excellent eBook (that doesn't even come close to sucking) I suggest you read this book and follow the very practical advice offered.  It is invaluable.

Many ebooks are 100 useful sentences with dozens of pages of fluff but 1 day brand is start to finish valuable and well written. I will test how "one day" it really is but, the book gives a great framework and actionable steps. I have no doubt the book will save me dozens of hours.

As someone that writes, publishes, and formats ebooks, I can confidently say without a doubt that this is a great guide to getting started in ebookery. It's a wild ride, but with this author as your guide, it can feel like a pleasant glide in the French Riviera.

My advice to readers that have no experience putting together ebooks is to read through this without stopping and trying to implement something you've learned. There is tons of information, so try to just absorb it first. Then take a breath, and tackle your project systematically, but organically if that makes any sense.

Regardless, the time is now to join the ebook revolution and get some royalty checks coming in. No matter who you are, or where you are starting from, take advantage of guides like this, trust me, you'll be so glad you did a few months down the road. This ebook is a guide you can refer back to as you progress.

I advise you to make use of bookmarks because there's a long check list involved in Indie publishing. Good luck!

This book is fantastic for the beginner (like me) just getting into the eBook world! I read it straight through and when I put it down I went straight to my computer and wrote 7 pages in an hour of my own story! Hopefully I'm a self published author soon too!! Thank you Mike.

this ebook is exactly what I was looking for as I was looking to improve my writing structure and also aspiring to writing a book or ebook one day. It has excellent tips and guides you through how one can produce high quality writing in less time.

This book provides everything you'll need to self-publish your finished book.  Followed by some leg-work, you will be able to get most of the administrative prep work finished in one day.  The links provided are exact and are supported by the detailed instruction with very helpful suggestions.  The only drawback may just be the myriad of required institutional web sites that are not very intuitive.  Reading Beth's instructions carefully can eliminate most of the delirium.  You can work the entire process to start your own business to publish or take a much easier path embracing CREATESPACE entirely with possibly no out-of-pocket.  The steps she has presented takes the mystery out of what you need to create a book on your own.

Recently I had the pleasure of being a beta reader for APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur-How to Publish a Book by Guy Kawasaki and Shawn Welch. It is easy reading, packed with tips, tools, links, actionable steps, and a supporting website (APETheBook.com,) along with warnings of the pitfalls of self-publishing.

Historically, traditional publishers successfully blocked the door to publication for many authors until digital publishing changed the game. With direct access to their readers via platforms such as Amazon Digital Publishing authors can now enjoy faster success and higher profits.

Kawasaki turned to self-publishing when he discovered that a traditional publisher could not handle an order for 500 ebooks. He became a convert, and enlisted the aid of Shawn Welch to help him understand the complexities of publishing ebooks. Welch created and and produced Kawasaki's book, What the Plus!: Google+ for the Rest of Us

Kawaski strongly believes

  ". . .self-publishing enables you to determine your own fate. There's no need to endure the frustration of finding and working with a publisher. You can maintain control over your book and its marketing, receive a greater percentage of revenues, and retain all rights and ownership."

But he does not suggest that self-publishing is easy. Without guidance, it can be confusing,  inefficient and unnecessarily expensive.

APE makes it clear that to self-publish successfully, you must be willing to don all three hats: author, publisher and entrepreneur.

APE begins with four good reasons and two bad ones for becoming an author. The desire to make lots of money is one of the two bad ones since earning great wealth from book sales, though possible, is rare.

Whether you are writing your first book or fifth, APE will enlighten, inspire and empower you. It is loaded with details about preparing your manuscript, ballpark costs of self-publishing, publishing options, copyright issues, digital rights management and valuable self-promotion techniques, such as how to pitch bloggers and reviewers.

APE offers us publishing Plans A, B and C and urges us not to get stigmatized when we can't find a traditional publisher. He chucks out the stigmatized phrase "vanity publishing" and ushers in a new one.

  "Self-publishing could change from stigma to bragging point--maybe we could change the term to "artisanal publishing" and foster the image of authors lovingly crafting their books with total control over the process."

By crowdsourcing the editing of APE, the authors attracted hundreds of writers, coaches, entrepreneurs and bloggers in the field who gave priceless input to help catch errors and build in real-life examples, anecdotes and sources.

You will learn in one chapter details on navigating Amazon and from another chapter, tactical and practical guerilla marketing techniques.

The section on becoming an entrepreneur is the most valuable section for the self-publisher.  Here you will learn how to create your profile and platform using the major social media sites, as well as details on creating a press release, virtual book tours and using social networks designed especially for writers and readers.

While APE shows us how to self-publish, it does not discourage traditional publishing, nor harnessing the power of  a traditional PR launch.

If you're looking for a get-rich-quick road to self-publishing, this isn't it.

If, on the other hand, you want a content-rich, user-friendly, comprehensive and up-to-the-minute guide for navigating the self-publishing waters, get APE today. It's the new self-publishing bible.

This ebook is worth 10 times its cost.

Other readers have given details in their appreciation of the book, and rightly so. The sections on (1) reasons why we should create an online course(s), and (2) common mistakes we need to avoid, are clear and convincing.

In fact, the entire book is clearly written, very focused, and, most important, very motivating. To me, that is the books most important benefit: it will get us off the sofa and push us to the keyboard. Other books on the topic discuss benefits and mistakes, but this one leaves us with the most important benefit of all: the realization that Hey, I can do this.

The book invites us to createabove all, to create with a new confidence.

Thank you, Vladimir
