"What's an ebook?"
I loved this post by Candy about working from home and was so thrilled to see God blessing her ebook. I praise the Lord that I was able to help her out in a small way through this article.
I remember back whenever I had just written my first little 32-page booklet, The Merchant Maiden. Jim Erskine (from Homeschool Radio Shows) had gotten a copy and he approached me and offered to buy resell rights from me if I would produce the booklet in ebook form. I was like, "What's an ebook?" As I started researching ebooks, I realized this was a whole new market out there and decided (with my husband's blessing) to give it a try. I had no clue what God had in store! Although I am not "into" ebooks and would much prefer a printed book, there is a large sector of the market out there that loves ebooks and would much prefer to buy them over a printed book. (I'm pretty sure some of it has to do with the instantaneous of them!)
Writing an ebook is a very excellent way to make a nice stream of income. You have to put the initial time and effort into writing it, but once it is done (provided you have regular traffic to a blog or website) it can sell itself. Like Candy, I do not market or promote my ebooks outside of having links to them on my website. All of my ebooks are instantly downloadable so that the process is completely automated. I just get a payment through Paypal when someone buys an ebook (for the ebooks that are set up on Payloadz) or a check every two weeks (for the ebooks I sell through Clickbank).
If I can write and produce an ebook, I promise you that you can, too. I'm no techno-genius by any stretch of the imagination. It is just one way, of so many different ways, that you can earn money from home. With the advent of the internet, there is a whole wide open field out there. With God's help and your authority's blessing and lots of creativity and initial time and hard work, it is very possible to earn a nice income from home without sacrificing your home and family to do so.

That was a great post. I think you've probably motivated some ladies out there to get a'writin'. :-)
I was wondering how you align up e-book/book writing with biblical principals. For example, the older women should teach the younger ones, but there seeems to be alot of young women in their 20s out there writing on things like household management, child rasing etc....when at most they have only had a few years experience. I would have no problem if they presented their experiences, but they present themselves as experts, and I find it troubling, especially when we should aiming to be humble. Your thoughts please?

Maturity in faith is not contingent upon the age of a woman.
I have known some women in their 20's who have been Christians for 5 years more mature than woman in their 50's who have been Christians fo 35 years.
I have a blog in which I too, strive to defend Biblical womanhood for the glory of God as I work out my salvation with fear and trembling. It is comforting to know that I am not the only one, for at times it seems we are so few in number who are willing to step out there and defend the Word of truth.
To His name be ALL the glory and honor and praise,

Wonderful post! I have been thinking about writing an e-book and offer it in my Tea Party Boutiquebut have been afraid to try it. Your article gave me confidence!
