10 Important Things Which You Need to Know When Writing an EBook

So here we go, ten things you should take into account when working on your eBook

  1. You should start with choosing a topic that is in high demand on the market. There is no point in writing about something useless and meaningless. You will not find readers, and therefore, your book won’t be sold. Therefore, start with analyzing the tendencies on the market. See what your readers and followers (if you have a blog or a company) like and appreciate and see how you can write a book about it to fit their needs. So, first of all, start with finding a perfect topic.

  2. Turn your blog into an eBook. If you already have a blog with a significant amount of followers, you can use the ideas expressed there for creating an eBook. All you need to do is to make sure these topics are all connected with each other and support one whole idea. Add more interesting facts, expand this idea a little and make sure it all goes together.

  3. This reminds me about an importance of a “catchy” title. Just like in a paper book, the title is the first thing that can make your book popular or make it a failure. Therefore, study this subject a little before you call your book in any way. We all know that we are not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but that’s what we do, and you have to take that into consideration. A bad beginning makes a bad ending, after all.

  4. Make your book short. Reading an eBook is a bit more complicated than a regular one; that is why readers tend to spend less time in front of the screen. So if you keep It short abut still informative, you are more likely to make it sell. If your book is too long, users that need your advice but are not fond of reading will opt for a book on the same topic with a smaller number of pages.

  5. EBook should not be too expensive. I know that you have put your heart into this book, but try to walk in your reader’s shoes: they seem to believe that eBooks should be cheaper than regular ones. So, if you can make it shorter and less expensive, both sides will only benefit from such a decision.

  6. Think of dividing your eBook into several parts. There might be a lot of interesting aspects of your topic, but remember that you do not need to disclose all of them in just one book. Make it two or even three if there are so many aspects you want to cover in an eBook. It will increase your total revenue and cut the price for the book.

  7. Have a well-thought marketing strategy. Even if you are incredibly talented, people won’t learn about your book and as a result, won’t buy it if you don’t inform them about it. All the writers need to come up with a good marketing strategy and start using it even before the book comes out. This plan includes promoting your book on the social networks, running ads on different resources, etc. depending on the audience you want to inform about an upcoming release.

  8. Think of offering your eBook in various formats. With an extensive list of devices people read on, you should make sure your readers will have a chance to read it in any of them. It is crucial, especially if you want to sell your book to the general public at large.

  9. Think of sending out a free sample of your book in exchange for an email address. This is a perfect way for you to create your own clients’ base which you can later use at further marketing plan stages. Plus, people love getting free stuff, so they will like you more for giving them a useful piece of your writing.

  10. Invest money in editing your eBook. Selling quality content is paramount to a writer, as with each book he is creating a brand that will either help him increase sales or make him fail before anything actually starts. So, paying for a professional to get good editing is an important investment in the course of writing an eBook.

Taking all things into consideration, writing an eBook is a tricky business. However, these easy tips will help you write a book that is destined to become a success!
