It is said that once you have a talent or skill on something, you must do by all means on how to keep that talent or skill on you or else, you will lose it. Since I have knowledge in computers, I tried to make money out of it. I was engaged in captcha encoding job before and went to writing sites like triond and bukisa. But because I am teaching now, I stopped from doing those online jobs. Now, I only earn money online because of mylot. I asked the question about e-book because I find out we can make money also out of using it. I have downloaded the software destopauthor but they just offer it on trial version. The full version needs payment. I am wondering if I can download that software full version for free? Anyone who earns money by making e-books? Please share how do you do it. Have a happy mylotting day to everyone :)

If you mean PDF files, I suggest you use Corel Draw software. It has a very flexible features from formatting your pages to picture management and font positioning. It also let you publish your work in eBook, PDF format.

hi rog0322, No, not pdf files but e-book. I have the software to make the e-book and it is desktopauthor. But the problem is that, it is just a trial version and I can only make 2 pages. In order for me to have the full version of it, I have to buy it for 97 dollars in which I cannot afford right now since I don't have any money on paypal. I hope that there will be a way in which I can download that software in full version for free.

My daughter is doing me a site (She's my SEO) for my short stories and she's starting it with pdf file. She said once I get along with it well, i could finally make my first e-book project. It is a demanding work and need a lot of coding. Don't just rely on a software, you must have solid knowledge of the e-book format as to gain your best results and of course the money!

So good that you have someone to help you with your work. Well, the only advantage of e-book it I can make its content interactive by. I am planning to make an e-book on English where there will be some videos and interactive quizzes for students to answer.

hi jennyze, Your english is very good so I know you can do it. Our professor just wanted us to create a module on the subject we are teaching. We will just write the lessons and after that is an interactive quiz to check the students' knowledge. That is possible in e-book.

Ah, I see. I thought you have to write a story or a book of science or anything that have at least 150 pages and a topic in it...

go for it before it gets out f your mind. sometimes if we're planning things and just stayed that way there's a tendency of not doing it forever. i don't think i can have time for that since i have my 8 hour offline work. everytime i got home i see to it that i have time for my husband and kid. i just log in here for two hours as well as with my two other earning sites. i earn bigger here in mylot.that's why i focused more time whenever im online.

hi flagella, You are right! I have many things to do sometimes but because I am always busy at work, I usually set it aside to the extent that I already lost interest in doing it. However, making an e-book is a must for me because it is included in my subjects. I am still finding out how can I download the desktop author software in its full version. I have tried many sites where I can download it but I always got the trial version. Still no success up to now. I hope that soon, I will be able to find solutions for it.

Well I now currently write for triond and a couple other writing sites. But by nature I'm a writer I want to write a book. But I'm concern about the money aspect as I have bills to pay. I heard ebooks is a good way to go. I haven't try it Yet I'm thinking about it though. Perhaps you should research it first before you commit to anything.

So far, I don't have any luck in finding a free software for that. I don't know if it can be materialize. I just hope that my classmates can help me or other friends here who are superb when it comes with software.
