Create E-Books in PDF Format
When I started writing e-books, I had dozens of questions. How can I sell my e-book online? How do I convert my e-book into a PDF format for others to read? You may have some of the same concerns. Once I did my research, I discovered shareware to help you 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.
Create pdf e-books using free shareware found online. The software is free, and very easy to use. If you can print your document, you can create a PDF. Simply go online to Google and search for “pdf995″. Download your free software, and get ready to create a PDF e-book.
Once the software is installed in your computer, it works in the same way as your printer. Open your document and click the “print” button. A screen pops up which allows you to select the printer you wish to use. Use the drop down menu to select the PDF maker, and select “print”. Instead of printing, your document will be converted into a PDF. Once that happens, anyone can read it on any computer, using any operating system.
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.
