Many people are considering how to make money by writing and publishing their own ebooks. And that’s not too surprising because right now the Internet is all abuzz with ebook publishing news. There are new ebook readers launching nearly every month, new ebook web sites and ebook libraries popping up everywhere, and traditional publishers increasing the quantity of ebooks they have available.

What does this mean for internet businesses, and especially authors? Well, ebooks have probably become one of the best ways to make money writing. However in the midst of this ebook industry growth there are also some ebook publishing myths going around. Let’s take a look at four of these myths.Myth #1. To Write an Ebook is Difficult

Wrong. It is certainly not more difficult than writing a regular book and in the majority of cases it can be much easier. Consider that the average ebook has fewer pages than the average book in regular print. There are lots of popular ebooks in the range of 25 to 80 pages, and it is surely a lot easier to write 75 pages than to fill up 225 pages!

Wrong. After your ebook is written and published, you can consider selling it through marketplaces like ClickBank and PayDotCom. Besides enabling you to take credit card payments online without having a merchant account with your bank, these marketplaces often have thousands of affiliates eager and willing to promote good ebooks.

Myth #3.  It’s Better to Do It All Yourself

It’s not. Self-publishing is a great way to go, but after you write an ebook and have it published it is then a good idea to enlist as much assistance as possible in advertising it.

Teaming up with related sites is just one example of how you can do this.

Myth #4. When Your E-Book Is Written, Sit Back, Relax and Watch for the Checks to Arrive

Very bad idea. You should be working on another project. It is almost certain that interest in your first ebook is going to fall off after some time. It could take years, but it might only be months or weeks.

By always having new ebooks under development you should be able to have several good sellers on the market at any time.

Think about these myths.

Next think about your desire to be a successful book author.

Now start writing ebooks. Write. Publish. Sell.
