Write a non-fiction book and get paid hundreds per copy...
Here's a secret strategy that can make you thousands!
When I discuss how to write a book , I almost always run up against the price concern. If you’re writing a non-fiction book, you pretty much know how much it will sell for. $19.95, $29.95 maybe even $39.95. But how would you like to sell it for $100, $200, $300 or even more! Here’s how you do it.
Walk into any bookstore and you can readily see the price ceiling you’ve got to contend with for non-fiction books. Everyone knows the prices will be less than $50 (unless you’ve created a university text). Call it competition, call it price-point recognition, whatever you’d like. But when you think about how to write a book, you’ve also got to be thinking about how you will present the book to the final buyer.
What you may not have considered when you write a book is that you can dramatically increase the perceived value of your non-fiction book just by changing the way you present it.
Ebook in 7 Days
Writing an Ebook can seem intimidating. Jim Edwards, however, has sold millions (yes, millions) of Ebooks on the web. This is his comprehensive, step-by-step guide to writing and selling your own Ebook. He shows you how to do it all in just 7 days.
Remember, I’m just talking about the way you present the book. I’m not talking about changing the content of your book, or anything else. You can literally take two copies of the same manuscript and be faced with a price ceiling of $39.95 for one, and an unlimited ceiling for the other.
Here’s how it’s done. You’re going to self-publish your mega-money book. Now, before you get all bent out of shape, realize that this will be the easiest form of self-publishing there is.
You’ve simply going to take your manuscript to your local self-publisher (known as Staples, or Kinko’s or some other equally famous spot) and get a dozen copies of your manuscript copied on three-hole punched white paper… the cheapest they’ve got.
Next, get a few three-ring binders. The one with the clear plastic window in the front works best. Don’t get them any bigger than the manuscript. No sense in over publishing something. In that clear window, take another page, your title page, and slide it in.
Voila! You’ve just changed your book into a manual. And as anyone knows, a manual has a much higher perceived value than a ‘book.’
As soon as people want to talk to me about how to write a book, my first question is, do you want to make a lot of money (a lot of people don’t, by the way). If they do, I suggest they forget about writing a book, and start thinking about writing a manual instead.
Now, to be honest with you, your manual will never grace the shelves of bookstores (unless you want to change the manual back into a book, but that’s another story). Your manual will be offered to people at your speaking engagements, on your website, in your direct-mail offers and via other marketing efforts. But the price! If you do it right, your book will be bringing you in profits of $300 for each and every copy sold.
If your traditional book was sold for $29.95 you’d have to sell 100 copies to get the same sort of profit for yourself.
So when you think about how to write a book, give writing a manual a thought as well if you think your non-fiction material will lend itself to that direction.

from my view it looks liek a scam....like your selling a ute
* You can give it a paint job with chepo paint
*Whipe it down
*Cover anything broken
*Fix up anything else
*Take a picture
*Use graphics etc.
*Sell it ont the internet
*Be gone before anyone knows the difference
this sounds like some sort of cheat?
The fact that many people have made millions of dollars doing just this would tell me that it's perfectly legit. Heck, I've made thousands by selling books on the Internet as a "course" instead of printing and selling it for , usually at a loss. But feel free to remain skeptical while others make a good living writing and selling informative books for 0 or more on the web.
I personally learned a lot from this book. It was the first ebook that I have purchased and it provided the information I was seeking. I don't know the author, I'm just an everyday girl surfing the net. I guess to someone whose motives are to exploit people or get rich quick it could be used in a scam like way. Those of us who are experts in a specific area could really benefit from the help of getting our information into non fiction books or manuals. Just my 2 cents.
i don't know why someone would want to sell the same information from a cheap book for 2 or 3 hundred dollars. you are scamming people. It does make sense what he is talking about though. I wouldn't do it. I would lose alot of friends that way. Reputation means more than money. With a reputation, people trust you and will buy from you. with a ruined reputation, yea, you have money, but no friends and Rapore.

Why would anyone in his or her right mind buy a diamond? It's just compressed carbon. Why buy a BMW when you can get a car made in the USA with the same horsepower for far less? Why would you go to a medical specialist who charges 10 times a generalist?
Our free enterprise system works on the basis of "perceived value." If you can read a book that costs you 0, and learn enough to put 00 in your pocket, isn't the book worth the price? If a workshop costs you ,000, but changes your life and makes you a millionaire, was the ,000 worth it?
Or, if you buy something for .95 and receive no value, then you've wasted your money. The value is in what you get OUT of your purchase, and not...
This seems like alot of crap to me. People should be charged a fair price for whatever the information that is out there is worth. This wehole write a "manual" not a book thing is crap...put it in a three ring binder with a cheap print out title page. People deserve better quality than that for 0 (if I paid that much it better be bound in gold). To me a manual is something you get free with a toy or something so you know how to use it not even close to a BMW or diamond. It's parctically criminal no better than people in china paying workers 14 cents to make something they sell for 14 dollars at wal-mart. You people suck!
