If you want to succeed in making a powerful, viral E-Book, you must begin by getting all of the tools you need to get started. Below, I have listed a basic set of tools you can use for free:
1. A PDF maker. There are a number free PDF makers on the market. Once such free PDF maker can be downloaded as part of the Open Office package at the following URL: http://www.openoffice.org/. Not only will this tool allow you to create PDFs, but it will also allow you to edit them and to insert links. You can even create a document in the word processing application and then simply export it into a PDF file. Additionally, PDF 995 will also do this. You can download it at the following URL: http://www.pdf995.com. This is a good place to start getting all of the tools you need.
2. A natural handwriting creator. It is important to use natural-looking handwriting at least in your signature. This will greatly enhance the perception of your mini E-Book. You can find a 30-day free version of this tool at http://www.vletter.com, which is another place where you can begin getting all of the tools you need to get started.
3. Another place where you can begin getting all the tools you need to get started is http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/. This isn't exactly a tool, but it can be extremely useful if you need supplemental information to include in your reports. The Federal government hosts this site, which means almost all of the information contained on it is in the public domain and can be repackaged into an E-Book, provided that you do not try to claim copyright.
And there you have it: you can begin the task of getting all the tools you need to get started by simply visiting those three sites and obtaining the valuable tools and information contained therein.
