A great way to make money online is to sell an eBook. Ebooks are great because you don't need to have any physical product to sell. It's just a file on your computer. However, the process of writing an eBook is tough if you're not a writer. You've got to come up with pages and pages of interesting, informative and engaging content that provides value - and put it all together! If you don't want to struggle with it yourself, a great way to get your book written is to hire an article ghost writer to do it for you. Here are some tips to get the best eBook possible out of your ghostwriter.

1. Know Your Expectations

Be clear about what you expect from your ghostwriter. The clearer you can be about any and every detail, the less room there is for error. If you expect the writer to cover x,y, and z topics, write in a specific way or use certain formatting,you need to make sure you specify this before they start. This will help you both avoid headaches later on. Don't leave anything to chance.

Get as detailed as you need to be, and don't be afraid that you're being too picky. If you want them to use two spaces after each period make sure to tell them. However, if you're more flexible and aren't as concerned about micromanaging every detail, just tell the writer your main points and let them go to work.

2. Have An Outline

Once you pick a writer,you can either have them create an outline for your approval first, or you can create the outline yourself. Either way, make sure the writer has an outline to work from so you both are crystal clear as to what each chapter of the book is going to be talking about.

In the outline, feel free to even break each chapter down into sections. Think of each chapter or section as an individual article, and then arrange them in an order that makes sense.

3. Check Out The First Chapter

Have them write a chapter or two of the eBook for your approval before completing the rest. By reading the first chapter or two, you'll get a good feel for how the article ghost writer is writing your book. Then if you don't like something, you're able to fix it before they write the WHOLE book. (Which can be a lot of extra work on their part.)

4. Communicate

If something comes up that you didn't think of before, make sure to be in contact with your writer as soon as you possibly can be. This will also help to avoid any time consuming rewrites and fixes. Communication is a two way street. If your writer has questions for you, make sure you return any phone calls or emails in a timely fashion. If you don't and they guess on what you want it's always possible they'll guess wrong.If it's a long term project, you might want to schedule chats or Skype calls on a regular basis.

Hiring an article ghost writer to write an eBook for you is a great way to get a quality product to sell without having specific knowledge or having to spend the time writing it yourself. Just make sure you use these 4 tips and everything will go smoothly. At the end, you'll have the high quality eBook that you were hoping for.
