Freelancing Strategies, How to Avoid Confusion

A good way to avoid confusion between you and a freelancer you hire is to provide a table of contents. Once you provide that little bit of structure the freelancer can fill in the rest with related research and filler. That way, the coders knows they are expected to follow the outline you have provided and cannot deviate too much from that.

At any rate, your finished E-book should end up in a very flowing, conversational tempo and pace. Really, it should read as if you were explaining it, more than if it were written by an expert writer. If your product, or your free-lancers product, doesn't really meet snuff, don't worry too much because readers are great at extrapolating meaning from what they read. Most people will re-read anything that interests them, several times over to make the most sense out of it they can.

Are you ready for an unconventional way to compile your E-book? Private label rights products are a great source for works you can use as you choose. These are typically completed works that were done some time ago so there are limitations on what topics are covered under PLR products. An alternative to that is to take a PLR product and update it.

In the past, I have used PLR products as bonus give-a-ways for product promotions, without changing them at all. I put together a gardening product a few years ago and used some ancient PLR books on gardening as promotional give-away bonuses. I got the PLR materials for free and they were still pretty interesting so I threw them in. The readers liked them and noted that they were still reliable, if slightly outdated.

One thing to watch out for is that there are many people using the same sources of PLR for their product origination and, consequently, sometimes they get overused. Make sure that is not the case before you invest a lot of time deriving your product from any PLR product.

PLR dates are important because there are different classifications of PLR. The PLR products created before 1923 in America are fair game. Do what you want with them and stick your name on it. Products published between 1923 & 1963, that didn't have their copyrights renewed, are also in public domain. Either way, make sure to do your research before you use PLR and only put your name on a quality product. As long as you are true to your purpose statement in writing the E-book and you make sure it is a quality product, you will have readers returning, time and time again, for your unique perspective and invaluable information.

An often overlooked feature of E-books is the fact that you can add links to the pages. This feature essentially turns your E-book into an advertising machine for your products, or your affiliate products. Now, nobody likes to be pitched to constantly so keep that in mind, but you are also running a business. If you can pick up a sale here or there, then why would you pass on the opportunity? I won't.
