This is the part of this ebook that makes it worth all you paid for it and about a thousand dollars more - web resources and links that I've compiled in all of my research and experience.
For the most part, the items listed in this chapter have been discussed or mentioned in previous chapters. In some cases, I've listed web sites here just for your information, so you can see how a site is laid out or see just how many vendors are available. Where a site is recommended, I'll say so.
Whether I recommend a site or not, I would like to let you know that I am in no way affiliated with these companies or individuals. I will not be making money if you visit these sites, and they have not paid for advertising in this ebook. (This ebook is for you, and there are no strings attached.) Therefore, as you bounce around the Internet, check references where necessary, and feel free to use other services that you may have discovered along the way.
Ebook ghostwriters
www.elance.com - As discussed at length in Chapter 1, this site has a large bank, or database, of ghostwriters looking for work. You can place an ad here and wait for offers to come in.
www.guru.com - Like Elance only bigger by almost a factor of ten, Guru also has a database of ghostwriters looking for work.
www.truetalentmedia.com - This is a writing service I myself have used.
www.allfreelance.com - This site contains a catalog of writers too that are available to ghostwrite ebooks (beware popups).
More ebook ghostwriters, FYI only
I do not recommend for or against using any of these services. I'm providing you with this list of ghostwriter web sites, so you'll know that there are plenty out there. These would come in handy if you ever decide to call upon individual ghostwriters and have them offer competitive bids for your jobs. Although online communication is not exactly face-to-face contact, you will be closer to knowing the actual writers if you go directly to their sites rather than get into the database pools. Except where noted, most of these provide nonfiction ebook ghostwriting services.

Templates for creating your own ebook covers
Although my recommendation is to hire a cover art designer, if the artwork used as an example in this ebook is good enough for you, then
you're welcome to grab a template and create ebook cover art just like it for your project. Here are places to get free templates. After you try your hand, you may understand more clearly why a professional designer is a superior resource.

www.freeebookcovers.homestead.com/covers1.html - Here you can also find free, simple ebook cover templates you can copy and add title text to. Template designer requests a web link in lieu of compensation.
www.onlinewebcreations.com/ebooks.html - Like the other template sites, this one sports free ebook cover templates. The template designer requests a web link in lieu of compensation.
