Outsourcing Online eBook Tips

Outsource your recipe ebook
Hello and welcome to the last article related to how to outsource your online business. Here I'm going to take an example on how things will work. These tips can be applied to a previous guide I wrote - this one walked you through how to publish your e-book or Kindle book.

Outsource your recipe ebook


Outsourcing the writing of ebooks is a pretty popular practice. The advantage of ebooks is they are typically less expensive than traditional books, because the publishing costs associated with publishing an ebook is significantly lower than it is for publishing regular books. 

Here are a few easy guidelines that should be followed when outsourcing the task.

1. Choose an excellent writer. He/she must have alot of experience in the recipe/cooking/kitchen niche. Don't ask an insurance writer or motor cars expert to write recipes.

An ebook is a important project in which you invest a great deal of time, money and energy so you have to be sure that the final results are of a high quality.

2. Before the writing begins, create the ebook outline. It is a crucial step as a well built up outline will assist in making a logical flow to the content presented in the ebook. 

As the outsourcing customer, you owe yourself to actively participate in the outline creation. The writer may have ideas about the content he wants to include or thinks is pertinent but it is your responsibility to make the decision regarding what goes in the ebook. 

Once the outline established, you will be ensured that there will be no surprise with the end result.

3. Ask someone else to read the document instead of letting the writer edit the ebook. As the writer did the job, he may overlook the mistakes as he subconsciously makes the correction as he is reading through the document. 

An independant person is not as familiar with the project so they are more likely going to detect mistakes.

4. Make sure that pictures ordered from another outsourced company match the recipes that fill your ebook long before publishing it. Otherwise you might find yourself with recipes and no matching photos.

5. If you plan on outsourcing your ebook cover, then once again make sure that it matches your ebook content. Don't publish pasta recipes with a Mexican cover.

6. When outsourcing the PLR rewrites, check each article through Copyscape so as to make sure they are absolutely unique. Sometimes, PLR are simply spun and rewritten using that technique. This doesn't make them unique at all and some original writings might be left.

7. You can outsource the ebook promotional tasks through social media and other means. Supposing the company that is in charge of this job plans on writing a lot, ask them to ensure that they don't post the same article/blog post/promotional text every where. Ask them to rewrite each of them as many times as there are supports to post them to. They can greatly make it using an article spinner/rewriter. There are some very intelligent out there and rewritten texts results are outstanding.

Well these are just a few of the things you should take care of when outsourcing your online business. Wishing you good luck if you opt for such a way to save time and money. I'll see you soon for more articles, tips and tricks.
