Ok, so you're at that stage where you've gotten just enough
content to publish your first e-book, finally the grunt work
is out of the way.
Sit back and pat yourself on the shoulder for a job well
done.
Next task on the list?
How to add fresh content to your already existing e-book, I
personally find it much easier to add to an already existing
e-book then to create an e-book!
But one does not shine without the other.
Can you think of any "sub-niche" market your target audience
would like more information about, something that would
definitely grab their attention and add:
• Punch to your e-book.
• Increased interest for your e-book
but even more importantly…
• Increased sales of your ebook
• Add a "higher perception value" to your already existing
ebook
How do you go about find that all elusive nugget?
Always turn to your target market for the best ideas on
which "sub-niche market's" to explore next, not what you
think they might be interested in but what they are buying
and recommending to others.
Case-In-Point:
A few months ago I created an e-book related to a certain
breed of dog. I made it through the grunt work and now
simply add to the e-book one step at a time, one product
review or interview at a time.
I ended up picking (by reading what the most used products
or most wanted products by this particular target market
were) a pedigree software program for a back end sales
product. This pedigree software program helps owners of
animals keep all the details they could ever want to track
in a database about their pets.
What owner wouldn't want to know about a software program
that could help make tracking certain details of their pets
easy and convenient?
So I simply contacted the owner of this particular software
program, told him that I was interested in including
information about his product in the e-book I had created.
He knew it was a win/win situation and gladly agreed to
answer a couple of questions regarding how his software
worked and what benefit it could bring to the reader.
The end result, more content for the e-book with only a few
minutes of work involved on my part plus the possibilities
of making commission from the back end sales of the pedigree
software which sells for $95.00 U.S., which I get a nice
chunk of every time someone clicks on my link and makes a
purchase.
So you see, it's not that hard to add fresh content to your
e-book.
With the right angle, you can make your e-book unique from
your competitors, more informative to the reader, putting
more money in your pocket.
Summary:
Expanding an already existing e-book is simply a matter of
reading what products your target market purchases,
analyzing their wants and needs, focusing on one "sub-niche
market" at a time.
