Writing is a bizarre thing. The idea of writing 500 words scares many individuals half to death, which it should not and yet there are others who are confident enough to write a book of 100,000 words when they ought not to either. Wring pieces of 500 words is a completely different job to writing a book of average size.
Writing an ebook of 15 chapters on building a garden pond is not the same as a novel either, because the process can be broken down into 500 word chapters on locating the pond; digging it out; choosing fish; choosing plants etc, etc.. This sort of ebook only takes a bit of planning and research and should not be beyond the majority of individuals.
Having said that, if you like electrical wiring to be safe, you would hire an electrician to do the installation, so if you want a top-notch ebook (or if you want it fast), you may want to think about finding a professional writer to compose the book for you.
Spelling should not be a problem if you compose the ebook yourself, but how is your grammar? A bit out of practice, perhaps? Most word processors will check spelling very successfully, but their grammar checkers frequently give misleading or erroneous advice, so it is a decent idea to have your work checked by a friend or family member who is closer to school-leaving age than you are, if you are unsure.
The ebook should seem professional. It should look the part as well as being correct. There is so much choice that if your book does not impress, it will soon get returned or overlooked and you do not need to acquire a bad reputation.
Outsourcing the writing of your ebook might sound like an expensive path to take, but really it frees up your time to spend on the promoting campaign.
Composing an ebook of, say, 20,000-30,000 words can be achieved in 15-20 pieces on the various stages of a scheme or whatever, but that will still take about 10-14 days of your time. A writer would almost certainly charge around $400-$500, but the book would be professional - ready to sell.
You need to do the sums to see what best suits you. Making your own products from start to finish makes the most money, if that product is of adequate quality. Otherwise, it might earn you nothing. If you sold your ebook at $15 through Amazon for 70% of the sales price, you would need to sell 40-50 units to get your investment back. After that, it is all yours.
So, all in all, the issue of whether to outsource your ebook, depends on your degree of skill at writing, the amount of time you are prepared to devote to the project and the topic of the book.
You will probably have to write your novel yourself; you can easily outsource a factual, theoretical book (How To...) and you can almost certainly compose your own promotional, short, ebook that is to be given away to promote whatever you are attempting to sell.
