The Best Online Business For Years to Come

Expert Author Paul H Kemp

The best online business I have ever seen is publishing e-books for Amazon Books' Kindle readers. When 26-year-old Amanda Hocking can earn more than $2 Million in a thirteen months for books about vampire romance, you get the feeling you'd better pay attention to this trend -- and it's only beginning!

We are witnessing the decline of the printed book and the rise of the digital. Just the sales figures alone for the new version of the Kindle -- four times the sales of the previous version, comparing last year's Black Friday sales to this year's -- gives us a clue to the future growth in demand for electronic information products.

What really excites me is the potential to market short non-fiction e-books, reports, and manuals, which are a heck of a lot easier to write -- and more accessible to the average writer/entrepreneur looking for a way to serve demand for instant information.

Filling the demand for Kindle titles that is growing at an unheard-of rate is something any entrepreneur should check into. Fast.

You have virtually no barriers to entry. Can't write or don't want to? No problem! Just hire some retired English teacher with a Phd to write reports, white papers, e-books, or how-to titles for less than a hundred dollars.

Twenty to forty pages will do the job. Load it onto the Kindle Digital Publishing platform and let them take care of the promotion, sales, and delivery of your work.

All the old barriers to self-publishing online have been swept away. Now, your main function boils down to selecting a title that will sell and crafting an e-book to solidly deliver on the promise of the title. Then, sit back and collect your royalties of 70 percent of the sales price IF you price it in Amazon's sweet spot of $2.99-$9.99.

Let's see -- What is there not to like about this arrangement?

Even if you bomb a time or two, you have only invested a little time and cash. Keep improving your approach to this new hungry market.

This is the best online business for the zeitgeist of our time. It is ideal for the vast majority of buyers who may not know you, but they know, like, and trust Amazon. It is a one-click transaction, very impulse-friendly.

What Writer Wouldn't Want to Partner with the "900-Pound Gorilla" of Publishing?

You have in Amazon a virtual agent, publisher, and promoter -- all of whom have a vested interest in helping you make as much profit as possible.

From Amazon's point of view, they don't have to pay you if your books don't sell. The automated sales and promo process is already in place. It doesn't cost any more to publish and sell your digital content.

Furthermore, Amazon needs you to fill their "vending machine" with the goodies your target audience wants to buy.

And, like I say, you don't even have to write the e-book. You mainly need to have a sharp eye for what content the public wants -- and that information can easily be found through Google's Free Keyword Tool, which is also handy for designing a title that speaks to the buyer's subconscious.

Where else can you find a business opportunity so fresh, inexpensive, wide-open, and able to be seized from anywhere in the world with Internet access? Where else can you, the unknown writer, tap into a market that is growing exponentially -- do a writing project once and collect royalties from a growing audience forever?

This is too good to pass up. If your mortgage is "under water" and your 401-K has tanked, here is a way to put it all right again. Now, get on it!

Just wanted to give you a heads-up, if you haven't heard about this already.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got e-books to write. Don't miss out on the best online business!
