I don't want to rain on your parade but chances are your first book won't sell too well.
Learn to fail fast and concentrate on creating books for niches your research shows you should sell as quickly as possible, so go for less words per book and more books. Publish them ASAP if they don't sell move onto the next one and then if they do sell build a series around the successful ones. Only then should you bother about websites etc. Else it is all a waste of time.
Then repeat the process and have multiple successful series selling.

Thanks i'll do my best!
Yes this will be first fiction ebook, if it does not work ill go for none-fiction and less words.
Regards
I wish you all the best with your journey. I'll stay tuned.
Question and, depending on the answer, a piece of advice.
Are you writing a novel?
If so . . .
Cranking them out is not the way to go. Quality trumps quantity here. Informational books, on the other hand, get-rich-quick guides and the like, can be cranked-cranked-cranked to your heart's content, because here people are buying the knowledge not the substance. It works the other way with novels. Writing 50 novels in a year is probably beyond even Stephen King. Probably. Maybe.
Or do I have the wrong end of the stick entirely?

Everyone has their own strategies, as I am sure you are well aware.
I tend to agree with what you are saying in regards to writing a "novel".
I believe that is why GringoMonkey said to focus on creating smaller books more frequently.

Yes, agreed. That's the way I would go in this scenario.
I'd put out the 50K novel, then perhaps concentrate on short fiction, making an e-book out of each one. I actually read a lot of these myself on Kindle; big word junkie.
I would say the ebook text/story is of very high-quality acctually. It's lot of checking and re-checking for spelling & sentences issues.
It will not be 50 fiction ebooks. It will proberly mostly be none-fiction ebooks.
Regards
Sounds great, seo2buck!
I did not manage to complete my goal. My writter apparently gave up on the e-book becuase he thougth it never would be done. So he did not work for a week and a half. So it wasted a lot of ime for me. Will see if the complete the e-book or not. Atleast he have started again.

You are paying your writer 4 cent/100 words. What do you expect? If you think blackhat spam is going to work on Amazon, think again. People do return books and they do complain when there is mistakes and poor editing.
