4. Add a link to an affiliate product or website.

Selecting An Ebook Template

To see the available templates, and learn more about writing an eBook, click here.

For this example I've downloaded Template 1 to my computer and opened in Microsoft Word.

Below is what the template's cover page looks like. We're going to add our own title and content to begin.

Adding Your Own Content

I've entered in my own title 'CarCarma', as well as the sub-title under that, author's name, and at the bottom some text that I will later link to an affiliate's website.

Adding Our Website

1. I've entered 'www.CarCarma.com' here, this automatically got converted to a link because of the www. and .com.

I'll later show you how you can link the text 'Free Astrology Readings'.

Adding A Picture

Now we're going to add a picture where the blue arrow is pointing.

Make sure your cursor is placed where you want your picture, or you can drag it to where you want later. 
 
1. Click on 'Insert' at the top of Word.

2. Click on 'Picture' to open up the window to locate your picture.

Finding The Picture On Your Computer

1. Once you've found the picture on your computer, click on it.

2. Click the 'Insert' button.

Linking A Picture To A Website

Now that we've added our picture, we're going to link it to our website.
 
1. Right click on the picture.

2. Click on 'Hyperlink'.

Linking A Picture To A Website

1. Type in or paste the full website address you want to link to, in this case I've entered http://www.CarCarma.com.

2. Click on 'Ok' to finish your link.

Now that our picture is linked, we're going to link some text to an affiliate website.

Linking Text To An Affiliate Product Or Website

We first need to get the website address of the affiliate website or product we want to link to.

In this example, its a website offering a free astrological reading, something related to our eBook. 
 
1. Select the website address.

2. Right click, then click 'Copy' to copy it.
