Editorial Reviews

From the Author

As an independent novelist, I learned the hard way how expensive it can be to make and sell ebooks without seeing great results. After much frustration, I put my efforts into using everything I could find online that was free. Guess what? I started selling ebooks and it wasn't costing anything.

This book is a collection of what I've learned after doing this for a few years. I guarantee it will save you time, money and energy. More importantly, it will help you share your stories with the world.

To your success,

-Jason Matthews

5.0 out of 5 stars Certainly a book worth reading. May 23, 2010

By Roger Ellerton

Format:Kindle Edition

If you are thinking about writing an ebook, in the process of doing so or have already written your book, you will benefit from the ideas and suggestions provide by Jason Matthews in his book "How to Make, Market and Sell Ebooks - All for FREE". I am the author of three ebooks, with at least one more planned for the near future. Before reading Matthews' book, I knew that I didn't know everything there was to know about ebooks, but I was surprised by how much I didn't know. For example, if you want your ebook available on all of the formats .pdf, .epub, .mobi, .txt, .lrf, .rtf, and .pdb, you need to keep things simple avoiding complicated or fancy formatting - don't use or refer to page numbers as e-readers are not like books in that they don't have page numbers.

Matthews begins by describing how he attempted to promote his books in the past by throwing some money at it and waiting for the returns to roll in. As with most authors, he found that this is not the path to riches but rather to rags. He had to find a different way.

His approach is to invest in "sweat equity" and to take advantage of the free or low cost tools and resources available on the internet.

Major chapters include: Social Media; Creating Your Blog Site; Cover Design; Formatting and Uploading for Smashwords, Amazon and other Retailers; Formatting for Your Sites, Making Your own Conversions; Creating Your Website; SEO (Search Engine Optimization); Preparing Your Website for Ebook Sales; Selling Your Ebook from Your Websites; PR (Public Relations).

In the vast majority of cases, Matthews provides sufficient information and detail for you to implement his approach. In the few instances where the implementation is more complicated, he provides an overview and then directs you to an on-line reference for more detail.

Certainly a book worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book! Well worth the investment. September 4, 2010

By BusterBob59

Format:Kindle Edition

I recently purchased Jason's e-book "How to Make, Market & Sell e-books", and wanted to share my thoughts. I have been researching the idea of creating and publishing my own sales & marketing books. I'm amazed that I ran across Jason's book... it was full of valuable information that will help any person who is interested in creating, publishing & marketing their own book.

Jason's book is easy to read, and has step by step directions regarding the creation and publishing of your own e-book. His book will literally save you thousands of dollars of potentially wasted time and costs incurred trying to self-publish your own material.

The book is full of easy to implement methods for creating websites, blogs, and includes easy methods to establish a network of potential readers/buyers!

If you are interested in writing & publishing your own books, I suggest you buy Jason's book first. It will certainly help you, and investment is very fair compared to the information he provides.

Thanks Jason & good luck to those of you interested in writing & publishing your own e-books!

5.0 out of 5 stars If it's free, it's for me!! December 2, 2010

By Reverend Kenny

Format:Kindle Edition

"Jason Matthews has spent a lot of money on a lot of marketing baloney.
After vowing to take an Ebook from start to finish and spend NO MONEY,
Jason learned every free trick on the internet, and lists them all. The free information contained in this book saved me hundreds of dollars, and more importantly, hundreds of hours of my time. It is the real deal. If you have ever said "If it's free, it's for me. " You should own this book.
