One of the best ways to start up in business is through successful epublishing. In this business model, you can write (or have ghostwritten) an ebook or series of ebooks on various topics. For the most part the big money has been in the non-fiction arena, but small presses that cater to a particular genre, for example, romance novels, have also proven to be very successful in recent years. In addition, there are many lucrative subgenres, such as paranormals (just think of Eclipse), historical and Regency romance.
Particularly with Amazon coming on board with ebooks at last and ebook readers coming down in price and offering improved functionality, this has been a game changer for many small presses, and indeed for self-published authors who can now see their books selling side by side with the top authors on the bestsellers list.
Amazon also offering apps so people can read romance novels not only on the Kindle but on their other wireless devices means you can take a book or ten anywhere, with great prices, or download the latest newspapers, blogs, and more.
As we have said, content is king when it comes to making money online, and not just for niche marketing, but for entertainment like romance novels as well. So if you are looking for a way to start your own business, position yourself as a consultant, share your knowledge with the world and get paid for it, or entertain as well as enlighten, becoming a small press publishing ebooks might be just the right new career for you.
