There is no longer room for the starving writer. Why? Writers do not have to live from hand to mouth anymore because now writers are in high demand in the Internet Marketing Industry. Some brilliant marketers discovered the value of writers. They discovered that people really do look for information on the internet.

Daily, the internet is bombarded with millions of people worldwide search for answers to certain questions, information on a variety of topics and mainly searching for information that will help them make their lives better. It is the very reason why the internet is known as the Information Superhighway.

As such, the people who best fulfill this need are writers. As a writer, if you can answer some questions or know how to improve people’s lives, why not earn a living doing it? However, what writers must accept is that this does not undermine the integrity of the work.

So, the question now is: “How do you fulfill this need of information as quickly as possible. After all, the internet is about getting information and getting it fast. The answer is online e-books. Online e-books are electronic books that people can read online. Online e-books can be read in many different formats. However, the best format is Adobe pdf format because readers can download Adobe Reader absolutely free.

This makes it all so much easier. Your online e-book should the following this very effective formula:
1. A letter from the author telling your readers why you have written the e-book.

2. An introduction to the subject matter

3. An answer to the top 20 questions most people ask about the subject matter.

4. A new piece of information most people don’t know about (this can be very important to your marketing strategy).

5. Instructions on how to effectively apply the information you’ve provided.

6. A conclusion

7. Information about additional products, services, or business opportunities related to the subject matter (this would be a great area to up-sale any affiliate programs or products you may have).

Now the question you might be asking is: What will people pay money for your information? E-books are strange in this way. Some people pay more for an e-book than they do for a book from a bookstore. The reason is a simple one. People pay more for e-books for the immediacy of the product. If you decide to market your e-book on a site like Clickbank.com or Paydotcom.com, then a competitive price range would be $27.00 to $97.00 depending on how in demand your information may be. Furthermore, you will be paying your affiliates anywhere from 25% to 75% of your e-book’s price. This can become a lucrative option. However, if you are marketing your e-book from your personal website, then you should price your e-book from $15.00 to $39.00.

Again, as a writer, there are options available to you to help steer your writing career in the right direction while you earn a lucrative income online.
