I downloaded this article as part of a series of downloads for upcoming work I am doing on ebooks. At this price, I was not expecting a great deal. I was very impressed that this author has captured the practicalities so well and in particular has paid attention to issues such as layout and design (most self publishers seem to ignore this entirely) and the value of the initial sample.

I commend this to anyone who is serious about epublishing with Kindle. I went ahead and bought the author's art licensing booklet unseen and was equally impressed.

Certainly worth buying and digesting

I recently published my new book on Kindle and was very pleased with the sales. It took me 2 years to write and is over 400 pages long. But while I might not be able to churn out a book like that every month, like so many other writers I'm always writing new articles, ezines and blog posts on a daily basis. So after the success I enjoyed with my book, I had to ask myself the question: What can I do with all that OTHER great content I've been writing over the past few years? Yes, I've posted many of them on article directories, which has been great for leads generation, but is there not more than can be done with them? Is there a way to make some money from my hard work?

Well, this little handbook by Kate Harper is a great intro guide into how to repurpose your great content and finally generate some income from your wisdom. Her writing is honest and straight-forward and she has given me a lot of ideas. I love her tip about saying "article" when you publish an article, so your readers know what to expect (i.e., that they aren't buying a full book). It's so obvious and transparent, but I'm not sure I'd have thought of it on my own. If you have a library full of info articles, blog posts, etc., and you are not yet distributing them as eBooks, invest the few pennies it costs to buy this Kindle article, and start to think of all the ways you can repurpose your content, and how might help improve the sales of your bigger books as well.

I work with non-fiction authors to help them publish and promote their books. I'm going to share this review on my Spirit Authors blog, because I know my readers will find this eBook to be useful.

excellent value for money, but I think the screenshots could be better, pehaps zoomed in segments instead of full screen which are a little difficult to read on the new kindle, otherwise excellent.

A good formula for pricing an article is: - 10 pages (3,000-5,000 words) or more = 99 cents - 20 pages (5,000-10,000 words) or more = $1.99 - 30 pages or (10,000-30,000 words) or more = $2.99 &quote;

Therefore, put most of the front matter at the end of your article instead of the beginning. Consider limiting your front matter to four basic items, and put them all on one page. - Title of Article - Author Name - Topic List or "Table of Contents" (TOC) - Copyright &quote;
