A good friend once told me “Everyone’s a PHD in something.” Most likely there is an audience that would love to learn from you in some way! Often when we think of writing a book, we imagine a tome or something ambitious like a lengthy novel. However if you can write about 100 pages on a single topic, guess what? You have a book!
There are plenty of ways to write a book. If you fancy yourself a good writer you may be able to write a book in about a week. It may take you longer, but it may be a worthy investment. If the idea of sitting down and typing urks you a bit, consider using a dictation tool. Have access to a smart phone? Its likely it has a dictation tool on it, and will transcribe what you say into text. For example Android has Google Dictation. (That little microphone icon on your phone’s keyboard.) Dictation is a good way to record raw and compelling ideas from spoken word for later revision.
A few things to consider when creating an e-book are the tools you need to create one. If you have access to Adobe Creative Cloud you could use InDesign. InDesign is a great tool for creating professional ebooks. A more user friendly product I have used in the past has been Jutoh. Relatively simple and easy to use, anyone can figure this program out.
Finally you may need to hire someone to create the graphics for the book, such as the cover, chapter illustrations, or other media for marketing. You can find people to hire on places like UpWork. or Fiverr for great and affordable rates.
Depending on how interested people are in the topic you write about, you could potentially make a decent amount of money. Brent Kelly, the author of Evernote Essentials. made five figures in just 11 days of self publishing his e-book. So get writing! People want to know what you know!
