Your product should be an ebook.

Yes,Why Should Your Product Be an Ebook? Articles they seem so mundane to anyone who's spent any time online looking for information or income opportunities, because they're everywhere. People tell you to sell them. People try to sell you the resale rights to them. People offer to ghost write them, or draw covers for them, or build sites to market them. You might even have seen so many by now, they're just getting old.

This is the last thing you should be thinking.

Yes, even now, in the rise of digital video, you can get a lot of use from an ebook or their smaller cousins, the short e-report. That's why there are so many of them. It's because they're useful, and there are all sorts of reasons why you should be able to make them.

- The software and services to make ebooks are inexpensive and easy to come by. If you're a beginning entrepreneur, ebooks are a great way to get a product on a shoestring budget.

- Ebooks make great additional products for the same reason. Ebooks compliment existing product lines in established businesses, because you can sell and deliver them without causing yourself much trouble. In fact, you can build an entire product line of nothing but ebooks.

- If you know how to make an ebook, you can turn knowledge into cash. You know it, you write about it, and then you arrange it into an ebook, giving you a marketable product. They make great spin-offs of knowledge garnered from your primary business, your job, or your hobbies.

- Ebooks are useful even if you don't intend to use them as products. Primarily produce videos? Add a short report as a bonus goodie. Want opt-ins? Offer an ebook as a gift if someone joins your list.

- Ebooks have no shipping costs. You can set up a web site to deliver the links to your ebook package automatically, so it's selling even when you're not around.

- Not only do ebooks have no shipping costs, but they're just PDF files. No paper is needed to print them, no cardboard is needed to box them, and no fuel is required to ship them. That makes the ebook a green product.

- If you make an ebook from scratch, you have total control over its contents. That means you can customize any cross-selling, affiliate marketing, or other use you have for that ebook. In fact, you can do more than one thing at a time. You could sell it, put the customer who bought it on your list, then backsell to those customers with affiliate links.

In short, ebooks are versatile, easy to product, and can keep shipping troubles out of your hair. Not knowing how to make one denies you a lot of the benefits they could give you.
