Hey Everyone,
I have several e-book ideas, but no idea how to make it all work. Is there anyone out there who has information on how to put an e-book together and where to sell them?
Is there anywhere to go for free information on the subject? I am sorry to those who would like to sell me an e-book on how to make money selling e-books, but I don't have money to spend on learning right now. If anyone has free information and would be willing to share with me...
I thank you ahead of time.

My first novel was published in e-book format, and I let the publisher worry about how to format it and sell it. Later I decided I wanted to do my own writing-related e-book, so the first place I went to was lulu.com. I was daunted by all the formatting stuff, so if you're not a technical person, lulu.com may not be your best option. I decided instead to publish each chapter as a weekly blog instead. I may one day offer it as an e-book.
Here are some of the resources I found for you:

http://www.ebook-site.com/

These should get you started. Hope these help! Best wishes...

I know the feeling, I also hate when somebody tries to seel his ''ebook advice''
I know this site: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-make-short-and-good-ebook-and-then-PROMOTE-it-Big-time
And it helped me in the beggings and later I earned money from it.

LOL i think its so funny when ppl do that! They make their money by selling the ebooks to teach ppl how to sell their ebooks..That just tickles me beyond belief..
that aside though, great question! and I'm going to check out some of the links myself...

There is a self publishing site, altho I've never used it but it was free to use. Here's the link. They allow people to buy e-books or will print of a copy as requested
www.lulu.com
Obviously check it out, as when it started it was completely free to upload books and they took a small cut but I'm not sure what happens now. Hope that helps.
