For the next few posts I am going to take some time to teach you all how to write ebooks. I’ve written a lot of ebooks in my time on various subjects. I have yet to write one for myself but I’ve written countless ebooks for my clients on anything from vegetarian cooking, iphones, dolls, how to build an opt-in list, etc. All I need to do is follow
No matter what the subject is or how much I know about it, the basic process is always the same
- Choose the subject for your eBook
- Write the table of contents (This is my outline).
- Do some preliminary research.
- Write the rough draft – detailed research as needed.
- Make the final draft. (If there’s a word count, I’ll add and subtract content as needed)
- Format the ebook.
- Create a detailed table of contents (I may have changed the original around as I wrote the eBook).
I’ve written ebooks at superhuman speed before. Granted, my wrists hurt at the end of the day, I went to bed late, and in general I don’t reccommend doing that. But if you want to go on a blitz like that, it has its rewards. One piece of advice: do the research before you start.
In the posts that follow, we’ll conquer these steps one at a time.
