If you're interested in writing and publishing online, you have several options. You may want to take on a larger one-time project such as an e-book or print on demand (POD) book. You may instead want to create an ongoing online publishing product such as e-zine, blog or electronic newsletter. Perhaps you just want to spend a short time each day, writing and publishing short articles.
Let's look at the publishing online options.
An E-book is a book that is published electronically. Though published online, It doesn't differ in content or style from any hard cover or paperback book you might find at your local Borders Book Store. Where the dichotomy comes in is how it is produced and delivered. An e-book is written by the author just as in decades past - publishing online doesn't alter that process. The finished product, however, is available only from the Internet. The consumer purchases the book, uploads the content to her or his own computer and then reads the pages from there or prints them out.
A POD book is also exclusive to the Web. A POD might be thought of as a middle of the road solution, with some traditional publishing components and some e-book components. The book is ordered and paid for online, after which the author or his or her online book publisher prints out and binds the book, creates and attaches its cover and snail mails it to the buyer.
An E-zine is one of the most popular products that marketers and entrepreneurs are publishing online. Its name comes from a combination of electronic and magazine, and that's what it is - an electronically delivered magazine. It has all the characteristics of a standard magazine - ongoing columns and features, table of contents, reader feedback, letters to the editor, etc. It has graphics and is delivered to subscribers.
An electronic newsletter is a scaled down e-zine, often delivered much more often - sometimes daily - and generally does not have graphics other than the branding of the producer.
The newest of the online publishing components, the blog, is used as commonly by individuals who just want their "fifteen minutes of fame" as it is by businesses publishing it online to market their products and services. Shortened from "web log", a blog is much less structured than an e-zine or newsletter, and typically offers personal diary sort of first person prose. It is much less apt to be advertiser supported than an e-zine or newsletter, and typically solicits feedback from readers.
