You can take a writing class, seminar or read a book on how to write effectively. Knowing how to write however is not one of the essentials of e-book writing. Are you puzzled yet? How many of the millions of e-books out there do you think were actually written by the person who is actually selling it? 100%, 75%, 50% or less? There is no way to tell for sure but I would wager that perhaps in the beginning of e-book marketing it was close to 100%. Now I would venture to say that maybe half of all e-books written are commissioned works. Outsourcing e-book writing has become big business. I've even contemplated it from time to time! The reason is that the world has shrunk because of the internet. You can have someone from any part of the world work for you. Just think, you can be like Nike and employ the cheapest labor around the globe so you can have the biggest profits.
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. ~Charles W. Eliot

HOW TO BECOME AN AUTHOR
There are numerous books, articles and seminars available to help you become an author. After all there can be big money in being an author. Just ask Stephen King or Tom Clancy. No matter what type of e-book writing you intend to do, whether it is fiction, non-fiction, technical, self-help, philosophical or just your autobiography, you'll need to get your point across. You need to be able to express in words what you're thinking so that other can share your thoughts.
