You might think that there's no way you can to produce your own eBook to sell as an information product. But, if you can write a blog post or a short article, you can create an eBook using the same methods.
Think of each chapter your eBook as a long blog post or article. The skills you developed writing are the same as the skills you need for creating your first eBook.
Why Produce Your Own eBook?
The beauty of an eBook is that you create it once and your work is done. It can be sold again and again and delivered to your customer instantly. In fact, you could even take old blog posts, arrange them in a logical manner, bring them up to date them for the new format and publish that as your eBook.
8 Steps To Creating Your Own eBook
1. Come Up With An Idea
Before you begin to start writing your eBook, you need to know what the idea is. Come up with an idea for your eBook that fits your target audience's needs and solves problems for them.
2. What Are Main Points To Cover
Once you've got your main idea, write down some major points to go over. These points really should become different chapters for your eBook. Write your table of contents first, and use it as an outline for your book.
3. Name The Chapters
Once you know the main points you want to cover, turn them into powerful chapter titles. Treat each chapter as an article and follow the same steps that your would take to write an article or blog post.
4. Write A Overview for Each Chapter
As you write each chapter title, make sure that you can write a short overview of what will be included in each chapter.
5. Expand Each Chapter
Make a list or small outline for each chapter with the points you wanted to cover in the summary.
6. Write An Intro and Conclusion for Each Chapter
It might seem strange but composing your introduction and conclusion first can help you stay on target for what you intended to go over in each chapter.
7. Format The eBook
Format the pages so they flow from one page to the other without awkward line breaks. Don't forget to use headers and subheads so that you can easily insert the page of contents.
8. One Day At A Time
Remember to take your eBook writing one day at a time. If you're writing a 10,000 word eBook, and you only write 500 words a day (about the length of an average blog post), you'll only take 20 days to finish your eBook. That's not bad!
If you're thinking about writing an eBook you may think it's a pretty simple process. Or you might think researching, writing, formatting, publishing and marketing your eBook is incredibly difficult. The reality of the situation is somewhere in the middle of those two schools of thought.
