So you want to make an ebook, do ya? That is great! Ebooks and pdf reports are great to give away to help build your email list or to sell for some online profits. Info products online are big business and learning how to make a document into a pdf report with clickable links is super important to the success of your online business. Let’s take a minute today to learn how to create a document and convert it into a pdf report – in simple PotPieGirl steps (yes, with pictures too...lol!)

I have tried quite a few pdf converts in my time, but I have finally settled in on a VERY easy (and free) way to make my pdf reports.

Ok - Let’s Make an eBook

Ok…. know how everyone says to start by creating your document in Word? Well don’t do that. Trust me on this. You’ll see why in a moment.

Go to OpenOffice.org and download Open Office for free. Open Office is kinda like Microsoft Office. It has a word processor like Word and it is very similar to use.

I know, I know… you are wondering why you have to download ANOTHER word processor when you already have one…. But trust me on this one, ok?

So, go to OpenOffice.org and click the “I want to download OpenOffice.org” button. That will open up a green box that says “Download Now” – so click that and start the download.

Go ahead and let it download and then install it. It’s all pretty straight-forward. If you have any issues, just check at their site.

No, that is why I like OpenOffice. First time I used a computer it took me three days to make a simple resume.

With a piece of paper and a typewriter I could of done it in 20 minutes.

Ahhh, Im in a funny mood today, all smiles.

No misunderstanding at all there. I'm just being me and having fun. I got my first puter in 99, it's been a bit of an adventure and then of course there is that old cave man thing, something I don't understand must be bad :) But as I learn I get to understand that advantages of such technologies. For example, recording music. Much more can be done in much shorter time in the digital realm that what was possible 30 years ago in the analog world.
Have a good one bro, fun chatting with ya.
