Every now and then I'll be sent an e-mail by somebody who asks me a question that always seems to strike me as being a little bit confrontational but nevertheless a very valid question to be wondering.
They ask me, "if e-books are such a great way to make money, why isn't everyone doing it?" The answer to this question has a lot to do with human psychology.
Even though a lot of people intellectually understand that they can make a lot of money with e-books, there is nevertheless a lot of fear and doubt that holds people back from ever getting started.
Look at it this way.
Every single year new diet books are released to the general public.
Most people already understand that the secret to losing weight is to reduce the number of calories you consume while at the same time increasing the amount of exercise you do.
That's the basic formula.
Likewise, most people generally understand that to make money with e-books you need to actually publish an e-book and then market it.
The money flows in, and you repeat the process numerous times and before you know it you're earning $10,000 a month.
However, just as with different diet plans, people sometimes get started trying to do something and then get distracted and run off to do something else.
That's assuming they ever even get started.
Fear and doubt truly do hold a lot of people back in so they end up reading different diet books but never actually implementing the diet plans themselves.
Speaking from personal experience, I know there are a lot of people who have invested in various step-by-step e-book business building plans than never get around to actually building anything.
Let's make a deal.
Promise me that you will focus on building an e-book publishing business for an entire two months.
Pick up a blueprint that will show you exactly what you need to do.
This will cut out most of the trial and error and virtually ensure that everything you're doing is directly related to building a solid online income with e-books.
If you do this, I promise that your life can change forever.
