Finding Recipe or Craft Content
When publishing books, ebooks or books for ereaders, you need to first find content. And it's not always easy to come up with ideas for new content. There are different sources that you can get content from. In todays article I'm going to cover the four potential content sources that will help you fill your ebook (or Kindle book).
Publish your everyday meal recipes or the crafts you make yourself
You're probably a great cook and have a huge number of personal recipes that you try and make all year long. Each time you prepare a meal, take pictures of the different steps, list the ingredients, write instructions and bingo! You have a new recipe to share each and every day. Collect all pics, recipes and instructions and publish them in your next ebook.
The ebook can be filled with every day meals or you can create specific collections (one ebook that would present your best cakes, one with your favorite cupcakes, another with your most favorite avocado recipes, one ebook that lists chicken recipes, and so on).
Craft related ebooks would work the same way. If you create jewelry at home, have one ebook filled with your best bracelet designs, one with birthstone rings you created, etc. Now if you knit, why don't you just make a short ebook on a specific model for a dress that can be declined in different designs - with sleeves, sleeveless, one top different skirts, etc.
Now you can take craft classes and publish your very own creations that you were taught during the courses. For example, Craftsy.com provides you with a wide range of craft classes to learn from. From learning how to take pictures of flowers to drawing, from knitting to crocheting, from quilting to scrapbooking, from cooking to making and decorating cookie blooms, you will find the class that will help you start that new business you've always dreamed of.
And you can even take a test drive using their free online craft classes.
The types of recipes or crafts can be different from one month to another. As long as you capture your audience's attention, you're sure to sell your books - and probably, in case of crafts, your creations themselves.
Recipe For A Cookbook: How To Write, Publish, And Promote Your Cookbook
by Gloria Chadwick
So you wish to start making money selling recipe ebooks online... I strongly recommend to get a step by step guide on how to do so. Although oriented towards selling physical cookbooks, this guide will guide you through the process of writing your new recipe book, how to publish and market it. In reality, selling online recipe books is easier than selling physical selling a recipe book. But the main principles are more or less the same as it all starts with writing recipes, choosing a story line and attract your audience.
Publish your Family or Friend's Recipes and Crafts
If you don't want to run out of ideas on what to publish you can ask your friends and family to share their own recipes and crafts. It's a great way to keep providing ebooks filled with unique and original content.
As a matter of fact a specific recipe may always vary when prepared by someone else: one will like it hot, another will like it creamy, another will prepare it with pasta, another will rather use potatoes, etc. This will also make your customers come back over and over again as they'll really get one of a kind information.
Crafts work the same way. For example, while you can create heart-shaped cookie blooms, you can decline the very same heart-shaped cookie blooms in a variety of designs and colors. An A-line dress can be declined in a variety of models. A cute crocheted beret can be adorned with pompoms, crocheted flowers, hearts, toys, etc.
Buy recipes and craft tutorials from ghost writers
A third option for you to get more fresh content is from a ghost writer. While the ghost writer will focus on writing the recipes and instructions or the craft tutorials, you will have plenty of time to manage your website and market your products.
When hiring online writers, make sure they will not sell you plagiarized content, therefore, you will always double check the writings they send. Copyscape.com is ideal for such a purpose. Create an account, you pay $5 for 1,000 articles to check and this will save you a lot of problems.
Buy PLR recipes and craft tutorials
PLR articles are the fourth source of content for your publications to be packed with. PLR recipes and articles can be found on the Internet, they're generally sold for a very affordable price and are one of the quickest ways to publish your ebooks online.
As a matter of fact, they will help you avoid writing the recipes or tutorials from scratch as you'll just have to edit and personalize them (at least the directions) and they'll allow you to come up with more ideas. A great benefit that you can get from PLR cooking sources is that they also often provide you with great kitchen product related reviews - this can greatly help you earn commissions from online stores.
Although you can even publish the content as it is, I recommend to always edit and personalize titles and directions, this will really make your ebook original. Another great way to customize PLR writings is to change the quantities.
Naturally and in any case, always add pictures to your tutorials. Photos are greatly appreciated by individuals and will send more customers your way.
How To Write and Publish a Best Selling Craft Bookby Mark Montano
When publishing craft books or ebooks (or even Kindle books), you need to make yourself stand out from the crowd that also publishes craft related tutorials.
The author will show you how to set your own style and, therefore, set you apart from the others, how to write your craft books, how to find a publisher for your writings and how to promote your guide on how to create these or those crafts.
