While computers intimidateadults, they seem to pique the curiosity of children. Thiscomputer curiosity starts at a very young age.Some Web entrepreneurs have learned how to profit fromthis young audience - by creating children's ebooks. Ifyou can tell stories that are interesting to children,you can tap this market too.An important component of a children's ebook is thepictures. If the ebook is written for preschoolers, theartwork should be built from basic shapes with bold colors.If written for older children, the pictures don't have tobe of professional artist quality, but they must be interesting.Children's ebooks should be designed to teach reading.Woven within the story should be additional learning abouthistory, geography, mathematics or science. Mostimportantly, your story should teach a moral lesson. Thiswill please the parents, who are, after all, the ones whowill pay for the ebooks.How to start a children's ebook business:- Create a Web site that is attractive to, and usable bychildren.- Provide free access to the beginning of each story. Thisgets the child involved and curious to learn what happensin the rest of the story. Curious enough, we hope, toconvince mom or dad to pay a small fee to download theentire story in an ebook.- Each ebook should contain the beginning of another storyand a link to the download page for that ebook.- Include extra free goodies with each ebook, for example,cartoons, games, puzzles, coloring pages, and patterns formaking crafts or toys. This will make the child and theparent anticipate what kind of goodies might come with thenext ebook purchase.- Place ads for child-related products on your Web siteand in your ebooks. Select toys that are interesting forchildren, and have an educational element that justifiespurchase by mom or dad.There is a wide variety of ebook formats and ebookcompilers to choose from. I recommend Help Workshop, afree download from Microsoft's Web site. With thisapplication you can develop your ebook as regular webpages, and then compile them into a standard Windows helpfile.You can have static pictures in your ebook or visit theDesign section of bucarotechelp.com to learn how to useJava Script to easily add animation, sound, and music toyour ebooks (and your Web site).

This is a digital download product, so youhave no manufacturing, delivery, or overhead cost.After you have created eight or ten ebooks, you can sella subscription that lets the child download any ebooksthey want for one year. The subscription fee shouldrepresent a cost savings over purchasing the ebooksindividually.You can accept payments online through PayPal. Place alink to PayPal on your Web site. The customer logs in (orsigns up for a free account) at PayPal's Web site. Usingyour email address, they deposit money in your PayPalaccount. PayPal sends you an email notification of thepayment, along with the customer's email address.
