Writing Ebooks in my Native Language - Swedish.

Do you think I'll get sales, if I write ebooks in Swedish?

Writing Ebooks in my Native Language - Swedish.

Hey freelancers,
As most of you know, I'm not native in English. Despite that, I still write both ebooks and tons of content in English on a daily basis.

What I've been thinking of lately, is if it would be possible to write ebooks in Swedish.. And if that could lead to sales?

Have you ever written content in other languages? - Have you ever sold ebooks you've written in other ?languages?

And, do you know if and how, I can find information regarding people who's interested in freelancing etc, from different countries?

Best Regards,
hitmeasap

Interesting topic Andre. You know what? I think you may just be onto something here. There must be loads of people that want to make money online and freelancing in Sweden and a book written in your native language teaching people to do just that would probably be so much more appealing to them than an English one.

It would certainly be easier for you to write one in Swedish I'm sure! Perhaps you could translate one of the ebooks you have already written to Swedish and see how it sells in your country? Then it wouldn't be as much work as writing a new ebook.

I haven't written an ebook in any other language since I am English.

Thank you Lynne, and yeah. That's what I've been thinking. I could basically just translate one of my previous ebooks and sell it after that, but I'm also interested in finding a way of getting some information about how many people in Sweden that actually are interested in freelancing.. As I've almost never encountered anyone from Sweden so far. - Sure, I've never tried before either actually, so I do understand that I could find a bunch of people if I just tried to.. But I would love to get some sort of insights in general so to speak, before I decide if I'll go this route or not. - Thank you though, I appreciate it!

Maybe you need to do a personal survey on the Swedish speaking people because they are your target market. I don’t speak Swedish so you cannot sell me that book. My suggestion is for you to create a Facebook Group or Facebook Page that is directly related to Swedes (I hope I am correct with that term). Gather members and followers and try to make the network lively and engaging. When you are already established then that is the time to promote your e-book there.

I think you should try it, too. And as for the fact that you haven't found a job yet, it's strange because a lot of people need a Czech teacher nowadays. I think that if you try to go to the website https://livexp.com/jobs/stante-se-...-po-celem-svete/ you can find a job there remotely. And also interesting for you.

This is a cool offer. In general, freelancing is a great thing: you work when it suits you. But at the expense of the language, then there are no problems at all. Today there are a lot of applications and sites that can translate any language pairs: Google Translate English To Pashto, English To Swedish. The most important thing is to find a nomadic resource. It is very important that the translation is as accurate as possible. I also love it when they offer different translation options, then you can choose the one that suits you best in meaning.
