Hello,

I have been a grower and exporter of blueberries for many years. In these moments I am creating a website, where I write all my experiences as a producer.

I self published my book through Amazon and have found that many people are reading the book without actually having to buy it. So I definitely would recommend that you avoid an intermediary

Thank you!

I am using a software program Desingrr Google it paid 29 USD for the basic version and does everything I want. As I just put the URL and then it create a almost ready ebook that you can use also in PDF FORMAT.
Have a great day
Tommy

Hi Tommy many thanks I will study later how the tool works. Any questions I will consult you.

Hey Claudio,

Don't miss out looking through the training and blog tips shared here too! See screen print below...

Hope you find this helpful.

Hi Trish,
Looking for information as you indicate I have also found good posts that talk about the subject. Thanks for your help and time.


Thanks for this question, Claudio. I've saved this for research!

Hi Claudio! I have self-published 15 books so I can answer your questions. This is quite a power packed question and I could write a book to answer it, but I'm going to be concise here.
For the first phase, I would recommend that you build your audience. Once your blogging and putting content out there, you'll get a better idea of how to compile the information in the most helpful way for your readers.
I started by publishing books first and I didn't have an audience, so the sales became the bottleneck. If you aren't starting with an email list or audience, then I'd recommend focusing on that first.
Once you get to the point where you're ready to compile an e-book, there are various options. If you want mass distribution, you can self-publish thru Amazon and Smashwords and have your book listed in the major online retailers.
If you want high profits, then you may want to create a PDF and sell it on your website using something like Gumroad or Woocommerce, but you'll have to have sufficient traffic, a smooth sales funnel, and sales copy to get sales that way.
Copying and reselling is difficult to avoid. You can do the formal dealings with an intellectual property lawyer, and even ask them your questions about protecting your content.

Good info

I'm glad it was helpful

don't forget in this case it is a small and very specific instructional ebook which is to goto his existing customers and therefore would probably have no use to be sold outside his own website. Selling an e-book externally is a different ball game completely. I have published both books and e-books And sell from my websites. It is worthwhile considering what your objective is before you construct a complicated sales funnel which may not be either beneficial or helpful

His question doesn't say he's selling the ebook to his customers. He said he exports so his customers would likely be wholesale buyers of blueberries. I wouldn't guess that the blueberry wholesalers are his target audience on his website, but we both have given him viable options either way. Mass distribution and selling on his website are possibilities and could both be beneficial. It's not necessary to discredit a process especially if it works. Each process here works.

Thank you, Catherine. I have lots of info from Book Baby and Amazon. My main concern is the mechanics of parsing content for an e-book. Learning the craft!

like every other technique it gets easier with practice

I was not discrediting any process what you say is entirely correct if you want to sell to a mass audience. It is an extremely useful summary

Hello Tiffany,
Thank you very much also for the speed in answering and for your time. The path you describe to create an ebook is a reality. Now I can understand it much better.

You're welcome!

I wouldn't recommend Google Drive and would use word or any other text editor. When you save a word document use the save as option. A second window will come up and it will ask you to type in the file name. Underneath that it will have file options and you can save it as a PDF.

You may find the formatting difficult. If you do I would suggest writing the E-book and add the images where you want them. I would then pay five dollars on www.fivver.comand get someone to Format it into a PDF

You don't need anyone else to sell it. You can either give it away and use it to create an email list and then you can market your customers at a later date. Or you can sell it from your own website. I hope this makes things clearer if not feel free to ask more specific questions

Hello Chaterine,
First of all I thank you very much for the speed in answering. I did not know that I can turn to fiverr and the link you left me is simply incredible. Thank you

you are very welcome

I will be grateful if you answer the following questions:

  1. Where do you place it in the post, at the beginning? in the end?
  2. Must it have a default measuremen

Excellent answers on here guys and gals. Glad you got an answer to your question Claudio!

Yes and super fast many thanks!

The standard feature image size is 1200 x 600.

Many thanks!
Claudio

Hi Claudio,

The featured image for a post is the image that will be shown with that post all over the website.

It will also accompany the post through shares. Let's say you share your post on Facebook, that will be the image shown.

While editing the post itself, you'll find a side widget where the featured image can be introduced.

I'm not sure about the exact size, but it has a horizontal format.

For SEO purposes you should complete the alt text with your chosen keyword. I usually try to describe the image and include the KW. Because the purpose of the alt text is to represent the image when it can't be seen.

More than KW related, this image should be post (subject) related.

I hope this helps.

Hello Fran,
Another answer that clarified me better how to work with featured images. I was surprised at the speed of the first three help I received ... incredible!
Thank you!
Regards
Claudio

My pleasure, Claudio.

Good luck!

1. it is to show the image above your post in Home page or any other page. You can have a look at my site how it looks like at home page ihealthylifestyle.com It will be placed automatically at the beginning of your post.
2. No, you can change you picture size on picture edit in site manager.
3. No
4. It is for posts.
5. Yes it has to be related to your title.

Hope that will help.

Regards,
Marius

Hello Marius,
Many thanks for your fast help. Now I´m following you. I can see your site and see your homepage with a featured image. Is great.
All OK!
Regards!
Claudio

Glad I could help Claudio, thanks for following me!

Your site is beautiful, Mario:)

Yeah Marius, killer site. Great images!

Thank you so much!

Thank you, really appreciate your opinion! It is just my second month as WA, so hopefully it will get just better!

You’re doing really well for only being here 2 months!

If you are using this feature, it places itself at the beginning of the page you created it on.

I'm sure it will tell you if the size is incorrect, use the picture you have and see if it allows you to add it.

It's to your advantage to complete the Alt Attribute as this ranks and it is most beneficial for the visibly impaired as it is read out as the description if they were to access your website.

You use the feature where you want to, it is not compulsory to add it every Post / Page. But this will be beneficial when you have a blog roll on your website, it will be the default picture that is seen when people read your blogs.

It would be a good idea to relate the picture to your blog, otherwise it may serve no purpose in helping you rank.

Regards

Edu

Thank you very much Edu, your answer has been very clear and super fast. It has helped me to understand better how to work with the featured image.

Thank you for sharing. Totally agree with you.

Many thanks!

Your words about comments are well-expressed. Comments can do us a lot of good. However, I agree that we need to use care in how we provide comments to others. Good post.

Many thanks!

Hi Claudio - don't get me started! :-) Oops! Too late! :-)

There is MASSES of training on how to leae a good comment. Unfortunately the people who NEED to read it, don't!

Another thing people aren't doing is reading the requirements - there are 4 ticky boxes for the type of cmments required and many commenters don't read these!

I'm hardened to rejecting comments now... 😢

Ian

Many thanks Ian for your contribution!

Thanks for sharing. Now if we can just get everyone to READ the tutorials.
Have a great rest of the week.

Mark

Many thanks!

Yep, that's the challenge, Mark.

I did suggest that they put a YOU MUST REAAD THIS FIRST link to some training on the Site Comments page :-)
Ian

This has been emphasized time and again that we need to read the article before commenting with something that add value to the content. Unfortunately, there are (hopefully a few) of our members who take this for granted and going for self-interest. It is sad to notice that but hopefully through continuous reminder things will get better over time.

Please I do not understand what I should do when I receive these types of messages. Should I reply them? Do I get any benefit? Thanks for your help.

Claudio

Claudio,
This community is based on paying it forward with our knowledge
and teaching others things we already have learned.
With doing this you have a rank within WA the lower this
number is the higher up the rank you are moving.
If you click on the blue number under your rank number
it will show you how this number is figured.
Hope this helps answer your question. :)

All the replies have been very clear and they have helped me, I am very grateful to you.

When you help other people, new members, and so on in the community through live chat, classrooms, affiliate programs and others, you'll surely earn ambassador credits at the end of the year.

OK Israel, many thanks!

When you get the messages asking you to "pay it forward," there will be unanswered questions from members...or perhaps there will be a couple of answers, but they are new questions that need attention from the members. Look them over, and if you can answer them, do so. Your help to others also helps you, and will improve your WA rank.

Many Thanks!

Was this an email you got, or a private message. My guess is that this is just Kyle explaining how to receive "credits" within WA so you can pay for things like comments, website reviews, or cash out for money.

Many Thanks!

You can get more information about credits when you click the "W" link in the upper right menu bar. You can earn or purchase credits.

Many Thanks!
