Hello everyone! Happy new year! #SocialCafekierraღ
#socialcafe Angela have you ever used flipbook technology for eBooks? Quark is good, but a little confusing to me.Carla Wynn

Today we are talking to a very creative lady about a successful ebook about writing successful ebooks! #SocialCafeDeborah
@lydsrich Leah also just mentioned the book in the most recent newsletter I noticed. #socialcafeAngEngland
#socialcafe How long should a successful ebook be?Brian Mauk
RT @socialwebcafe: Chat questions (and more) for this #SocialCafe here: http://sw.bcafe.co/36 #socialcafeAngEngland
@BrianFMauk An ebook should be as long as is needed to cover the information. #socialcafeAngEngland
@thirtymommy Very cool, Scherrie! #socialcafeDeborah
@BrianFMauk It sounds simple but EVERYTHING in the book should be there with a purpose. Don't stuff needlessly w/pics or extras #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland when you write the book and publish, you just do it in .pdf? Is that easily opened by all platforms (tablets, etc.)? #socialcafeLydia R
I have published a great little "ebooklet" only 15 pages as the Untrained Housewife manifesto http://bit.ly/Xjpae0 #socialcafeAngEngland
#socialcafe I have at least 100 eBooks in My Documents and love to go back into my folder and read on rainy days.Carla Wynn
I've also published much larger books over 100 pages. Whatever is needed to make the point clearly, logically, and fully. #socialcafeAngEngland
Q1 When did you first decide that you wanted to publish an ebook? Please share stories of your ebook-writing-journey. #SocialCafeDeborah
Link? RT @AngEngland: @lydsrich I just did a TV interview with Leah re my Backyard Farming on an Acre book. (traditional print) #socialcafeDeborah
@lydsrich I do .doc, .mobi and .pub. Both Amazon (kindle) and Nook platforms have conversion programs available. #socialcafeAngEngland

@socialwebcafe Interview for Mamavation TV http://www.mamavation.com/2012/12/backyard-gardening.html #socialcafeAngEngland
@socialwebcafe A1. I have wanted to write a book for a few years now...just recently started thinking about an e-book #SocialCafescherrie d
@melinda74 Nice to meet you #socialcafeCarla Wynn
@lydsrich ACK No I meant I WRITE as .doc and provide them as .pdf so they aren't as easily edited/copied/stolen by others #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland I understood. :) #socialcafeLydia R
@melinda74 Blogging and ebook creation can be done hand in hand. :-) #socialcafeAngEngland
A1 - I started writing ebooks back in 2008 before they were even popular. No ereaders existed at that time. #socialcafeAngEngland
#socialcafe Would love for you all to follow me too. I am trying to follow all of you as we go along :)Carla Wynn
We want to thank the @hashtracking. We love them! Please visit http://www.hashtracking.com please RT #SocialCafeDeborah
A1 My first successful ebook was Making Money Blogging: Moving Beyond Banner Ad Sales to help bloggers resell their words. #socialcafeAngEngland
A1 That book was written in 2009, still before ereaders were popular, but added 5 figures to our income in 2010. #socialcafeAngEngland
A1 I have always wanted to publish an ebook. Talking to Angela inspired me to do it! #SocialCafeDeborah
RT @socialwebcafe: We want to thank the @hashtracking. We love them! Please visit http://www.hashtracking.com please RT #SocialCafescherrie d
A1 That's when I began to realize the many benefits of eBook creation and how powerful a tool they could be. #socialcafeAngEngland

@AngEngland Woah! I need to get crackin'! #socialcafeLydia R
#socialcafe @AngEngland what price point did you put your first eBook at? Or did you generate income from other products?Carla Wynn
RT @CarlaWynn2012: #socialcafe @AngEngland what price point did you put your first eBook at? Or did you generate income from other products?Lydia R
@thirtymommy I think I am in the same boat. I have written lots of books, but haven't published them :) #socialcafeDeborah
The benefits of writing an ebook are MANY but I think of 4 primary benefits for bloggers. #socialcafeAngEngland
@lydsrich Nice to meet you :) #socialcafe I have 10 tabs open.. LOLCarla Wynn
1) Increased subscribers. The UTH Manifesto has brought triple-digit newsletter subs each month since I started offering it. #socialcafeAngEngland
RT @socialwebcafe: We want to thank the @hashtracking. We love them! Please visit http://www.hashtracking.com please RT #SocialCafeNichole McKinnon
@CarlaWynn2012 ditto! :) #socialcafeLydia R
RT @lydsrich: link for book discussion with @angengland on #mamavation http://www.mamavation.com/2012/12/backyard-gardening.html #socialcafeAmy Tucker
2) Increased visibility and authority on your topic. I increased speaking gigs and consultation gigs as a result of my books. #socialcafeAngEngland
@nicholemckinnon Nice to meet you on #socialcafeCarla Wynn
3) Increased revenue. Not only can you gain revenue through book sales but also affiliate links, add on sales, etc. #socialcafeAngEngland
@socialwebcafe Yup! That's me too #SocialCafescherrie d
4) Increased authority as a writer. A publisher knows not every blogger is capable of writing a full-length work. I had proof. #socialcafeAngEngland
RT @AngEngland: 1) Increased subscribers. The UTH Manifesto has brought triple-digit newsletter subs each month since I started #socialcafeDeborah
RT @AngEngland: 2) Increased visibility and authority on your topic. I increased speaking gigs and consultation gigs = #socialcafeDeborah
RT @AngEngland: 3) Increased revenue. Not only can you gain revenue through book sales but also affiliate links, add on sales #socialcafeDeborah
RT @AngEngland: 4) Increased authority as a writer. A publisher knows not every blogger is capable of writing a full-length work #socialcafeDeborah
Saw a question re price point - I tend to eschew the $.99 price point and go for free, $12 or $25. #socialcafeAngEngland
Ive been asked to write book about my life and disability #SocialCafemelinda gail
My Making Money Blogging ebook, for example, explains to bloggers how to get a magazine print job worth 4 x's the $25 price tag #socialcafeAngEngland
If the value is high enough you can charge a good price and it will be very fair. #socialcafeAngEngland
@melinda74 Do it! #socialcafeDeborah
#socialcafe @AngEngland I advise my clients to start writing freely for their first eBook on MS Word. Blog posts can offer great content.Carla Wynn
@lydsrich Jot down your ideas! The worst that can happen is you've practiced writing. ;-) #socialcafeAngEngland
RT @AngEngland: @lydsrich Jot down your ideas! The worst that can happen is you've practiced writing. ;-) #socialcafeCarla Wynn
RT @AngEngland: If the value is high enough you can charge a good price and it will be very fair. #socialcafeCarla Wynn
@CarlaWynn2012 My first ever ebook, a complete flop, I priced at $5. I think I sold about 5 copies. It had a terrible topic. #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland #socialcafe Ali Brown is a good example. $10 a month for her newsletter with 150k + subscribers..that's a nice income.Carla Wynn
@CarlaWynn2012 thanks and hello #socialcafeLisa
Thx for using HT! RT @socialwebcafe: We want to thank the @hashtracking. We love them! Please visit http://www.hashtracking.com #SocialCafeHashTracking
Q2 What are the biggest joys of ebook writing and what are the detractors? #SocialCafeDeborah
RT @CarlaWynn2012: Ali Brown is a good example. $10 a month for her newsletter with 150k + subscribers..that's a nice income. #socialcafeAngEngland
@Lisapatb Glad you could join us - we are chatting about ebooks! :-) #socialcafeAngEngland
#socialcafe Now chatting about eBook writing & publishing. If you couldn't make it today, we will be here next Wed. too.Carla Wynn
I have short blog about it @socialwebcafe #SocialCafemelinda gail
I do touch on most of these topics in my book, 30 Days to Make a Sell a Fabulous Ebook http://30dayebook.com #socialcafeAngEngland
RT @socialwebcafe: Q2 What are the biggest joys of ebook writing and what are the detractors? #SocialCafe #socialcafeAngEngland
#socialcafe I have a 20 page eBook on "Growing an Organic SEO Garden" I offered for a promo last spring. It was free.Carla Wynn
RT @socialwebcafe: We want to thank the @hashtracking. We love them! Please visit http://www.hashtracking.com please RT #SocialCafeHashTracking
@AngEngland Good point. I need to just do it! #socialcafeLydia R
@CarlaWynn2012 great topic #socialcafeLisa
The joys of creating an ebook are many. As w/all art, getting my message out there & creating something of value is priceless. #socialcafeAngEngland
A2 Life has a lot of distractions. But, I think it is worth the effort to pursue. #SocialCafeDeborah
RT @CarlaWynn2012: I have a 20 page eBook on "Growing an Organic SEO Garden" I offered for a promo last spring. It was free. #socialcafeAngEngland
@CarlaWynn2012 Those free ebooklets can be awesome for building newsletter subscribers and spreading your message. #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland #socialcafe As a homeschooling mom, keeping up with the trends is so important.Carla Wynn
A2 - Writing the manifesto for http://UntrainedHousewife.com was particularly gratifying because it helped me hone my message. #socialcafeAngEngland
Thank @commun_it team- helping us create #Twitter relationships http://commun.it please RT #SocialCafeDeborah
That focus, personal insight, and clarification has resulted in more motivation and energy FOR ME. #socialcafeAngEngland
Great ebook! Doing it now! RT @AngEngland: I do touch on these topics in my book, 30 Days to Make a Sell http://30dayebook.com #socialcafeDeborah
You won’t want to miss next week, too... chatting with @Dragonblogger #SocialCafeDeborah
The other really cool thing about ebooks is that you are taking control. Not waiting for someone to "give you a break". #socialcafeAngEngland
@lydsrich Looking forward to your ebook, too :) #socialcafeDeborah
@Lisapatb Hey Lisa! #socialcafeDeborah
The downside is definitely distribution. Marketing and what not. #socialcafeAngEngland
RT @socialwebcafe: You won’t want to miss next week, too... chatting with @Dragonblogger #SocialCafescherrie d
@socialwebcafe I guess I wouldn't be sure how to market/sell #socialcafe - like, what price? how do you know?Lydia R
RT @socialwebcafe: A2 Life has a lot of distractions. But, I think it is worth the effort to pursue. #SocialCafescherrie d
But having been through the traditional print industry now I can tell ya reaching a few at 50-100% is still great $$ #socialcafeAngEngland
@lydsrich Brene Brown has a saying "Choose discomfort over resentment". #socialcafeAngEngland
@lydsrich It was uncomfortable to ask $25 for Making Money Blogging but I was teaching methods for making HUNDREDS so worth it! #socialcafeAngEngland
@lydsrich When you finish your book look at what you're providing, what's out there, what you're saving people (time/money), etc #socialcafeAngEngland
Pricing is the trickiest thing but remember you can always go DOWN - harder to go back UP in price. #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland Makes sense #socialcafeLydia R
RT @AngEngland: Pricing is the trickiest thing but remember you can always go DOWN - harder to go back UP in price. #socialcafe #SocialCafemelinda gail
If you want to offer a "discount" try offering a bonus with purchase instead. Increases value to customer w/o discounting book. #socialcafeAngEngland
@lydsrich I do that sometimes. When I'm not chasing kids or losing my keys. ;-) #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland i've seen where people offer at discount if peeps subscribe to their newsletter #socialcafeLydia R
@AngEngland I like that idea, a bonus. I agree that I like to give and the price tags can be uncomfortable. #socialcafeDeborah
@lydsrich I also learned a lot from having my first ebook completely flop. LOL!! #socialcafeAngEngland
@lydsrich Yes or partner with someone else or give a personalized consultation w/you or free printable or sneak peek at extras.. #socialcafeAngEngland
Awwwww....my snuffy, congested and cranky baby says hello. Now typing around a lap full. ;-) #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland What type of bonus? #SocialCafescherrie d
Q3 What are some efficiency tips you have discovered in ebook writing/publishing? #SocialCafeDeborah
@AngEngland Hi to your baby and hoping your baby feels better. #socialcafeDeborah
W/Making Money Blogging I pre-sold copies and gave a 30 minute phone consult to pre-purchasers. #socialcafeAngEngland
@lydsrich That is an idea, growing the subscriber base and selling the ebook. #socialcafeDeborah
@thirtymommy Depends on topic. Could be checklist, personal Q&A, consult, free printable, free video tutorial, weekly email, etc #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland Thank you for making it ok to flop. ;-) #socialcafeCindy Dyer
@AngEngland What percentage of the people took you up on the 30 minute phone call bonus? #socialcafeDeborah
@socialwebcafe She's at the tail end of the guckies and wanting a nap. lol Poor baby. #socialcafeAngEngland
RT @Getalonghome: @AngEngland Thank you for making it ok to flop. ;-) #socialcafeLydia R
@Getalonghome Well hopefully if you learn from my mistakes you won't. But at the very least you'll have learned something. #socialcafeAngEngland
i helped a fellow blogger at one point. she gave me a free copy of her ebook, i reviewed it, and blogged about it #socialcafeLydia R
@socialwebcafe All of the first ten people. After that I offered the consult at $25 off (price of the book) and about 1/2 did. #socialcafeAngEngland
Just joining us? Review the #SocialCafe chat questions @ http://sw.bcafe.co/36Deborah
@lydsrich If you aren't willing to risk smacking your face on something you better just stay in bed. @GetAlongHome ;-) #socialcafeAngEngland
A3 I think @AngEngland 30 day approach is brilliant #SocialCafeDeborah
RT @socialwebcafe: Q3 What are some efficiency tips you have discovered in ebook writing/publishing? #socialcafeAngEngland
A3 - Write the outline first. Definitely. The outline will be the key to overcoming distractions and delays. #socialcafeAngEngland
@socialwebcafe I wrote that book in two weeks. Shhh...don't tell anyone. ;-) #socialcafeAngEngland
A3 - Plan your ebook and your blog posts at the same time. Sidebars, small sections, etc can all be blog posts from the book #socialcafeAngEngland
That way you're not having to write blog posts + a book, you can do both at the same time. #socialcafeAngEngland
RT @AngEngland A3 - Write the outline first. Definitely. The outline will be the key to overcoming distractions and delays. #socialcafeTwitraffic
Double up your research, double up your time, save yourself so much AND pre-test your topic. Win/win/win #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland Wow! Ok, won't tell anyone ;) #socialcafeDeborah
@AngEngland Oh, and I smack my face on something just about every day, so I guess I'm good to go! #socialcafeCindy Dyer
@Getalonghome My kind of girl! :-) #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland Good point. I wondered about that. What is your process for blog posts from the ebook? Full? Summary? Teaser? #socialcafeDeborah
What has been your biggest set back in doing an ebook thus far? #socialcafeAngEngland
@socialwebcafe I was highly motivated. Lol #socialcafeAngEngland
Courage to do it @AngEngland #SocialCafemelinda gail
@AngEngland @socialwebcafe Cool! That's amazing! #SocialCafescherrie d
@socialwebcafe I outline the book first. If I have blog poststhat fit in its easy to insert, expand, format to match book. #socialcafeAngEngland
@socialwebcafe Totally use what posts you've already written in the book if relevant but give yourself room to clarify details. #socialcafeAngEngland
Oh this fussy baby! :-( Poor thing. #socialcafeAngEngland
@melinda74 I always just think - what's the worst that could happen? No one buys the book. #socialcafeAngEngland
@melinda74 Was it worth it if that doesn't happen? Well I could use the book for blog posts, podcasts or videos. #socialcafeAngEngland
Q4 What would be your 2013 ebook writing or publishing goal? #SocialCafeDeborah
@melinda74 pitch magazine articles from it. Yes - probably worth it even if not a single sale. #socialcafeAngEngland
RT @socialwebcafe: Q4 What would be your 2013 ebook writing or publishing goal? #SocialCafe #socialcafeAngEngland
@socialwebcafe I plan to self-publish a series of Untrained Housewife Guides with my community of writers at UTH. #socialcafeAngEngland
@socialwebcafe I already have The Untrained Housewife's Guide to Getting Prepared, to Eating Fresh From the Garden, and... #socialcafeAngEngland
@socialwebcafe A4. Mine is to publish an e-book #SocialCafescherrie d
@socialwebcafe The Untrained Housewife's Guide to Home Based Business Success in the works for 2013. #socialcafeAngEngland
I also have a title I want to work on called The Myth of Perfection: Failing Passionately to Succeed Powerfully. :-) #socialcafeAngEngland
A4 Keeping it simple, one ebook (with an eye toward more) #SocialCafeDeborah
In total I want to publish 10 books this year in the Untrained Housewife brand for homeschooling, canning, photography, etc. #socialcafeAngEngland
RT @socialwebcafe: A4 Keeping it simple, one ebook (with an eye toward more) #SocialCafescherrie d
@thirtymommy What topic? #socialcafeAngEngland
@thirtymommy Amazing or insane. Or maybe both. #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland Insanely amazing! :) #SocialCafescherrie d
@GrangeWeb Thank you! It's time. Untrained Housewife is about the journey towards intentional living. These will help that goal. #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland Probably homepreschooling #SocialCafescherrie d
@thirtymommy Sounds about right. What topics are you passionate about? Do people come to you with questions about all the time? #socialcafeAngEngland
@thirtymommy Ooohhhh....great topic! Much needed. Would love to see a chapter discuss multi-ages. #socialcafeAngEngland
@thirtymommy I was thinking the same thing! 10... wow! #socialcafeDeborah
@thirtymommy Like What to do w/pre-K while you're trying to teach olders too. I have 1st + PreK light years away in edu level #socialcafeAngEngland
@melinda74 You have support here ;) #socialcafeDeborah
@socialwebcafe The first ebook is the place to start! Day 1. :-) #socialcafeAngEngland
there w/ya! RT @Getalonghome: @AngEngland Oh, and I smack my face on something just about every day, so I guess Im good to go! #socialcafeDeborah
@socialwebcafe @thirtymommy Thankfully not all written by me but all edited/formatted/assisted by me. #socialcafeAngEngland
thanks @socialwebcafe #SocialCafemelinda gail
@lydsrich Lydia.. what is the topic of your next book/ebook? #socialcafeDeborah
@socialwebcafe @getalonghome Hiding in bed all day is way over-rated. ;-) #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland I have a toddler and an infant and am working n creating a curriculum that will teach and engage them both. #SocialCafescherrie d
My biggest challenge this year will be time management and staying on track. What about you? #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland I'm really inspired now! #SocialCafescherrie d
This is day 2, so still time for 30 days to ebook! @AngEngland .. please send us your 30 day link again ;) #socialcafeDeborah
@thirtymommy I LOVE that. So your ebook will be really a 50 page promotional tool for your curriculum sales also. #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland @socialwebcafe But I would like to try it just once to find out. #sleepy #socialcafeCindy Dyer
@AngEngland Definitely passionate about education and creatively teaching! #SocialCafescherrie d
@thirtymommy Could make "100 Ways to Entertain Your PreK" for free download w/newsletter #socialcafeAngEngland
Brilliant! RT @thirtymommy: @AngEngland ...working n creating a curriculum that will teach and engage them both. #socialcafeDeborah
@thirtymommy Then sell the 50 page book about preK homeschooling for say $4.99-7. Then upsell to your curriculum for $50-$99 #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland #timeManagement.. I keep getting more efficient and then add 50 more things to do. I need to find a "stop" button. #socialcafeDeborah
@thirtymommy Waht you would do then is offer people who purchase the book the chance to apply price of book to curriculum. #socialcafeAngEngland
getting started #SocialCafemelinda gail
Are you in this #socialcafe chat, @RebeccaHBrandt? Talking ebooks over here. You might be encouraged. :-)Cindy Dyer
@thirtymommy While also offering the book as a FREE BONUS for those who buy the full curriculum piece. See what I mean? #socialcafeAngEngland
@Getalonghome @RebeccaHBrandt I can encourage or tush-kick, whichever is needed. ;-) #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland Great idea! Do you have an ebook of just your creative ideas :) #socialcafeDeborah
@socialwebcafe I totally hear you! I remember when 1 baby took all my time. hehehehehe #socialcafeAngEngland
@thirtymommy I can tell - use that! #socialcafeAngEngland
@Getalonghome @RebeccaHBrandt We like encouraging :) #socialcafeDeborah
@socialwebcafe LOL! That's what the personal brainstorming consultations are for. hehehehehe #socialcafeAngEngland
@AngEngland And, you have mastered that! I was just telling hubby how amazing you handle herb gardens, writing, TV, many kids #socialcafeDeborah
@AngEngland Nice! Thanks for the great ideas! #SocialCafescherrie d
@AngEngland Oh, hey, I misplaced your 100 brainstorming link... Do you mind sharing, here? #socialcafeDeborah
tush-kicking :) RT @AngEngland: @Getalonghome @RebeccaHBrandt I can encourage or tush-kick, whichever is needed. ;-) #socialcafeDeborah
@AngEngland @RebeccaHBrandt Maybe a little bit of both. #socialcafeCindy Dyer

Wonderful share . I find writing eBooks fascinating but have been discouraged by lot of distractions . This share of yours is illuminating and has impelled me to try my eBook writing skills .

Oh, you and me, both! Distractions are definitely something that hinders me from completing hundreds of ebooks. With the 30 days, it is bitesize enough that it can actually get done. What ebook are you thinking about writing?

I so want to write an ebook of my own but not getting enough time to go about it. I guess reading about people’s experiences will motivate me further

Hi Fatima. I think the most helpful aspect of Angela’s ebook about writing an ebook is that she breaks it down into bite-size daily assignments which includes writing the ebook, and preparing for the marketing of the ebook. That is very helpful.

Hi, I wanted to tell you when I first decide to publish an e-book. I tried to publish a hard cover book, and in the middle of the process the publication agency decided our book is not worth publishing. When talking to a friend I got to know the benefits of writing an e-book. I decide to write an eBook and my niece volunteered to design the graphics. Depending on me and people I trust. By the way, the book had been sold 230 times until today (two month).

Great feedback, Ron! Yes, I agree that it is easier to test the market (and succeed, like you have!) doing it yourself and what better way than an ebook. Thanks for sharing your story
