Using Your E-Book As the Basis of a Digital Product
Your e-book is already a stand-alone product, but if you want, you can easily add new elements to create an expanded â and, potentially, higher-priced â product. Authors commonly enhance their nonfiction (rather than fiction) products, though if youâre a novelist, you can create a package of novels, short stories, audio, and even videos related to your fiction.
Digital products can contain any element produced in digital format: text, audio, graphics, video content, or even software. You can add to your e-book several text worksheets or a spreadsheet that readers can download, or include audio files that youâve recorded with experts in your field. If your e-book teaches a computer-related topic, such as how to set up your own website, include code or graphics to help readers get up to speed quickly.
If youâre selling audio and video content, your download is undoubtedly large. You may want to host videos on a password-protected website so that readers donât need to download them all one huge package.
