Congratulations to you if you have managed to follow, and more importantly implement, what we have gone through together over the last several weeks.
When I started the how to publish an eBook series my goal was to walk you through the entire process of researching, compiling, marketing and selling your eBook successfully on the Internet based on my experience selling now over 20 eBooks successfully on the Internet.
Over the last several posts and well over 25,000 words later, it’s been a fun journey and thank you for walking it with me. I’d like to finish this series by providing some final thoughts to consider. But before that, this is how we arrived here:
Post 1: How to Successfully Create and Sell an eBook
Post 2: How You Can Profit from an eBook & Why You Should Write One
Post 3: How to Research a Profitable eBook Topic
Post 4: A 4,000 Word Guide on How to Create an eBook Product
Post 5: Effectively Pricing and Selling Your eBook
Post 6: Marketing and Promoting Your eBook
Post 7: Establishing an Effective Affiliate Program
Post 8: Writing an Effective Sales Page
So once again, many congratulations to you. The ones that succeed in life in whatever they do are those that take action. There is a lot of information that has been covered in this series on how to publish an eBook successfully, well over 25,000 words of theory and practical guidance that now needs to be implemented (and maybe you have already started so even better).
I have poured everything I know in this series and you have everything you need to succeed with profiting from eBooks. How much you make and how much you succeed is now all up to you. But the beauty of it is that you are 100% in control of your own destiny. You can choose how well you want to do from here on.
And if you are thinking whether you will succeed, I’d say do not worry about it. Do your best and see what happens. As I often say, focus on excellence (in this case execution) and success is inevitably going to follow. Many people have it the other way around as they continue to chase success and never get there because the forget to focus on what’s important.
If you start to worry about the outcome right now, you might never get yourself to start. The Internet is very forgiving. It allows us to make quick changes as we move along so you will have multiple opportunities to continuously tweak and optimize your initiative as you move along with the process.
Don’t be too anxious about the results either. Success doesn’t happen overnight. But when it does, it tends to come in bunches like a waterfall. To give you some perspective, I didn’t sell my first eBook copy until 6 months into the process. I procrastinated with compiling the sales page and then marketing my eBook. But when I sold that first copy, everything started to snowball after that up to this point, and I am nowhere done either 
Also understand that what you can accomplish with an eBook may just be a start to something much bigger. An eBook is a platform, or a stepping stone for many to get to their end destination, may that be a consulting practice, speaking engagements, political agenda, a big contract with a big name publisher or anything else. The possibilities are endless. So while you may think you have only learned how to publish an eBook, you have really learned how to effectively position yourself to achieve a potentially much, much bigger target.
You can also convert your eBook to an audio book or a video series, instantly repurposing content into new avenues which you can also sell online. The beauty of doing that is that once your information product is created, you can repeatedly benefit from it over time.
While publishing an eBook is one of the best ways to accomplish multiple purposes, such as building a brand name, subject matter authority and earning passive income online, understand that succeeding at this initiative is a PROCESS, one that we have gone through in depth together over the last several weeks. So execute the process, have some patience and understand that it is just a matter of time before you succeed.
I do my best to answer all questions and comments left on this blog, so please come back and ask questions as well as share your thoughts and concerns.
On a final note, as I have stated repeatedly, creating and selling an eBook online is one of the most turnkey and passive methods to generate residual income online. I have been doing it for years, releasing a few eBooks each year, now totaling over 20 live and selling successfully online all on a passive and residual basis.
I also want to reiterate that if I can do it, there is no reason you can’t do it much better than I did. I am not technically savvy, nor is English my first language. It is my fourth! And before you eliminate the possibility of profiting from publishing an eBook because you don’t think you can write, read this article and throw that false belief out of the window right now.
I hope you found value in my experiences outlined in this series and are able to replicate the process to succeed online as well. I have done my best to provide practical and actionable guidance that you can immediately implement, and I loved every bit of compiling this series (my first one).
Please let me know if I missed any part of the process, or if there is anything else that you’d like more discussion or emphasis on. It is my hope that this series is the only resource you will ever need to publish and eBook and profit from it on a passive and residual basis with or without your own website or blog.
Bookmark this page and come back to it and let me know in the comments below if have any questions as you now embark on your own journey. I will be keeping an eye out for it and I’d be happy to help.
And just so that I know how I am doing, I’d love to hear your feedback on this series. Please help me shape up the direction of this blog going forward. Email me your thoughts at sunil {at} extramoneyblog {dot} com.
If you enjoyed this series, I’d also appreciate it if you Tweet it and Like it so others can find it and benefit from it.
Wishing you all the best on your journey to profiting nicely from eBooks.
