Writing and Publishing your own profitable eBook

 

 Getting Started

You have the topic for the eBook. You now need to get started writing the eBook. This can be an extremely frustrating process. For most people, getting started seems to be the most difficult aspect of writing an eBook. The very first thing you need to do is gather all your thoughts about the topic you have chosen. Doing research on the subject would definitely help.

The best approach for writing an eBook should be to start with the outline. Creating an outline would give you a good idea of what the eBook would be about. You should list out all the sections and topics of the eBook. Note that this would only be a draft outline. You can always keep on adding new topics as you progress. You can also review other books that are similar to get a better idea of what the outline should be like.

Bear in mind that you would be editing this outline numerous times during the course of the eBook. Once you have a draft outline, you would be in a much better position to start writing. However, before you do that you need to work out the title and research the Internet as well as print books for reference material pertaining to each section.

 

 Title of the eBook

A clever title is great if it is clear, but a clear title is always preferable. A shorter title is better than a longer one. Your reader will spend only four seconds on the cover. While some long titles have succeeded, usually the shorter, the better.

A title is part of your eBook's front cover. Most buyers buy mainly because of the front cover.

Start with a working title before you write your chapters. Include your topic, your subject and use the book's benefits in your sub title if possible. Here are a few tips for titles that sell:

§ Create impact for your title - Check out other authors' titles by researching on the Internet as well as local bookstores. Your title must compel the reader to buy now.

§ Include your solution in your title. Does your title sell your solution? Make sure it answers the question rather than asks one.

§ Use positive language instead of negative.

§ Make it easy for readers to buy. Readers want a magic pill. They want to follow directions and enjoy the benefits the title promises. For example, 101 Ways to Market your eBook can act as an instructional book for your readers.

§ Expand your title to other books, products, seminars, and services. Make sure that your title will work well with the title of your presentations, articles and press releases you'll need to promote the book

§ Use original expressions — a way of expressing one idea for your book — yours alone.

§ Include benefits in your subtitle if your title doesn't have any. Specific benefits invite sales. For instance, Google AdWords: A Money-Making Guide for Internet Marketers, Business owners, and Individuals.

§ Choose others' eBook titles in your field as models. Choose five eBook titles and covers that attract you.

§ Be outrageous with your book title. People do judge a book by its title. It must be so outstanding and catchy it compels the reader to either buy on the spot or look further to the description of the eBook. Take a risk.

§ Be your strongest salesperson self. Choose the strongest words, benefits, and metaphors to move your audience to buy.

§ Titles do sell books. Include your audience in your title. When your title isn't targeted other famous authors' general titles get the buyer. Always make your title clear and make it easy for your audience to recognize they need your eBook.

§ Short titles are best, say three to six words. Titles should spell out at least the main benefit of the eBook. This would make it appealing to your target audience.

§ Experiment with your ideas. Use combinations of all sorts of ideas pertaining to the eBook to create an appealing title. Including a popular search term may also help.

§ Use power words to compel someone to buy your eBook. This strategy is used very effectively in advertisements. Words such as "Free", "How to" and a number of ways such as "101", or "1001" are attention grabbing words.

§ The title should generate curiosity amongst targeted audience. It should in no way mislead your reader.
