Over the past five years, eBooks have replaced printed books thanks to the invention of the e-Book reader and a push on being more environmentally friendly. What this means is that now you don’t have to carry around a lot of heavy books. In addition, eBooks have become a popular way to publish your own books because now you don’t have a lot of start-up costs nor do you have to try to find a publisher because you can do it all yourself!
Why publish your own eBook?
Publishing your own eBook is a great way to not only share your content with others, but it can also be used to market your business. For example, when you publish an eBook, you can post a link to it on your favorite social networks to engage with fans and followers. eBooks are also a great way to attract readers to your website – not only can you have readers download your eBook, but in doing this, it exposes them to additional content on your blog that they might not be aware of.
