Recently we decided to also offer eBooks as a service. eBooks are just one more approach we use to assist our small business clients with their marketing. We recently created, published, and distributed a series of eBooks for small businesses on Social Media Marketing. This endeavor was our first attempt at creating, publishing, and distributing eBooks. After a lot of research and learning, we were so impressed with the tools we used, and the process we developed, that we wanted to share it with you.

So, whether you’re a seasoned small business owner looking to expand your product offerings, or a budding entrepreneur taking your first steps into the digital marketplace, this eBook is for you. When you complete this eBook, you will be prepared to create your first eBook. Starting from your idea and objective for your own eBook, you will be able to take that idea through the following steps: generating the content with the assistance of AI, preparing it for the eBook, creating the eBook, as well as publishing and distributing the eBook. We show you how to publish through distributors individually, and how to publish to all of them at once.
