Create PDF E-books Today
March 16, 2008
As a new author, you may feel overwhelmed. How can you sell an e-book through your website? Can everyone read your book, or only those with Windows? I understand your concerns, because I have been there. As an author, I commonly use shareware, which helps me to create PDF e-books.
A PDF is a file format which can be read on any computer, so PC and Mac users alike can enjoy the same information. PDFs are portable, and can be easily e-mailed. It is easy to see why this is my favorite way to publish an e-book.
Now you are wondering where do I find a way to create PDF ebooks with shareware. It is so simple, anyone who can print a Word document can make a PDF. Just go online and google “PDF995″. You will find a free software that will convert your document into a PDF and it’s all free.
Once you download the software, it is very easy to use. When you have your document completed, all you do is print it. Instead of printing the document on real paper, you will use PDF995 to “print” it into a PDF. Once it is finished, your document is now a PDF. Now, anyone with any type of computer can read it. It doesn’t matter if they have a PC or MAC, they can read a PDF.
You can search online for other create PDF e-book shareware programs. Check the programs carefully, and choose one that will keep your links functioning. As your customer reads your e-book, those links help them to access your webpage.
Beware because any free PDF software programs do not create clickable links. If you want to use your ebook to sell other products online, you must have links that click.
Once your ebook is in a PDF format, you can easily learn how to put e-books on your website. All you do is open your ftp program. Find your PDF in “My Documents” and drag it on to your server. Now your e-book is online and you can sell it on your website. Once your customer pays for the e-book, send them the link to the PDF you just uploaded. It really is as simple as it seems.
