An eBook or electronic book is an executable file (in .exe format) or
a file in .pdf format that can be downloaded easily by a site's visitors.
The pages of the eBook are in digital format and can accommodate
both text and images. Creating an eBook is very beneficial because
it can be an excellent marketing tool to promote a small Catholic web site
and blog. A good and affordable eBook creation software can be found
at www.wulfsoft.com. The
software is not only user-friendly but also can be customized
according to your web developer needs.
Steps in creating the eBook
If you decide to purchase the eBook software at www.wulfsoft.com,
these are the steps you need to take to create and publish the eBook.
Create a special folder in your My Documents folder
for the pages and images you want to use in the eBook
In creating the internal links of the eBook, use
relative rather than absolute linking. This means, you are
to use only the file name in the linking (e.g. "filename.html")
instead of including the whole domain name (e.g. "http://www.yourdomain.net/filename.html")
Do the same with your images files as with your html
pages. Only link the file name of your images with their
corresponding file extensions (e.g. "image1.jpg" or "image2.gif").
Make the first page of your eBook, the index.html file.
This is very important as this will be the anchor file that will
collect and collate all the other files and images in the
special folder you have created.
After you have finalized all your html and image files,
then you can open the eBook creation software and just follow
the user-friendly instructions of the program.
There are many options in the creation of the eBook. You
can opt to have a password created to access and open the contents
of the eBook. You can also designate an expiry date by which the
eBook expires and cannot be opened anymore.
Before you decide on this venture of eBook creation, you
must first verify whether your web hosting service accommodates
files in executable format (e.g. "index.exe") because this is the file that
contains your downloadable eBook. If your web hosting account
accommodates files in executable format, then all you need to
do to publish your Catholic eBook is to upload into the directory
of your preference using a free FTP client such as www.coreftp.com or
FileZilla.
Once your eBook is uploaded and published on your Catholic web site,
you can promote it well so that others can know more about your web site
and blog services. You can do this by creating the eBook with links pointing to
articles in your site and blog.
eBook Creation and Production
eBook creation and production may seem like an advanced technological
tool for one who wishes to venture into web development. However, it is
a basic marketing tool used by many small web site developers. Before
embarking on creating an eBook, it is important to have a basic knowledge
of HTML and the various ways of creating images and graphics. As with
any marketing strategy used in search engine optimization, the creation
of an eBook as a marketing tool lies also in how much one has learned
to apply good search engine optimization. There are many eBook creation
softwares available but the one used in our small Catholic web site is
excellent in its own right, and has proven to be very effective in the
marketing of a small Catholic web site and its social networking
activities.
