I’m writing an E-Book

As my latest foray into the Making Money Online space is a marathon rather than a sprint I have been focusing on a couple of sites that fit my daytime (and night time lately) career to a tea.  Part of this is writing an Ebook for managers in this techincal space make heads and tails out of what the engineers are saying.

While have about 50% of the draft finished I started to think about how I am going to launch this book, its coming in Q1 2012, successfully, and came across these 5 Tips for Launching a Ebook, and what struck me initially was the fact that her site was clean and the post well written.  That is more than enough to make me listen, you see too much noise these days.

My favorite tip is #3:

Hire someone to help you. I never thought I’d do this; I like everything to be just so, so I prefer to do everything myself.

This is going to be a hard one for me because that even though I know that it makes more sense to hire someone to do something that I am not good at, I am a consultant by trade after all, but I still would rather learn the trade than hand the reins to someone else.
I think this is one of the traits that makes a successful consultant, but a disastrous publisher.

What do you think of her tips?  Have any of your own?  I will let you know how our launch goes this Winter.

Cheers,

Jeff M
