I’m Robert Earle Howells, author of the ebook Write Where the Money Is. As a veteran freelance writer, I wasn’t daunted about the task of writing my first ebook. But I knew nothing about how to format it, target it, or market it. Once I studied the tricks of the trade, everything fell into place. It became the most enjoyable and profitable writing project of my career. Here, as I do on my blog, Surefire Writing, I happily share what I’ve learned...and wish you success with your own ebook. You can do it!

This is the most thorough, timely, and potentially profitable ebook reference I've found. Dave Navarro’s How to Launch the **** Out of Your Ebook, co-written with Naomi Dunford, astutely takes you through all the steps to ebook success in a precisely logical order, from market research to writing to selling the **** out of it.

Navarro is known online as The Launch Coach, so it’s no surprise that the guts and power of this book are the sections devoted to launching. How to leverage a blog to attract buyers, for example: Deliver icing, follow with cake. He tells you exactly how to "BUILD AN AUDIENCE OF CRAZED LOYAL FANS." You can have legions of eager purchasers BEFORE you even write your ebook.

The book is brimming with “stealth” advice, like how NOT to spend a lot of money on a copywriter for your sales page, and how to easily recruit endorsers and affiliates.

Navarro and Dunford could edit themselves a bit and write more tightly. And missing are guidelines for how to price an ebook. Speaking of which, this one is not cheap. But follow their advice and you will indeed launch the **** out of your ebook, and earn back the cost many times over. It’s not only the best book about ebooks on the market, it’s also the best value.

Reading Ebook Secrets Exposed is like sitting in on a conversation between two whip-smart marketers, Jim Edwards and David Garfinkel. The interview format has copywriter David putting questions to ebook master Jim. It’s a fascinating read, and almost everything you could want to know about ebook publishing is in this book.

It’s revealing to observe how Edwards studies niches to ferret out killer ebook topics. If you did nothing but scan the Hot Tips in the book, you’d be on your way to success. One of them reveals THE SINGLE MOST POWERFUL EBOOK STRATEGY that will set up your book for success. You need to know it before you start writing. And discovering the HEARTBREAKING MISTAKE MOST AUTHORS MAKE will save any writer a lot of grief.

I wish Edwards would issue an update. His strategies are timeless, even brilliant. But the book is graying at the temples. Some of its links are dated. The word “blog” doesn’t even appear. But it’s a great price for a book that indeed reveals masterful secrets in a highly readable format.
