E-books are just electronic versions of regular books or journals but they frighten people if you suggest writing one. There is no longer any need for delaying with the simple process detailed below. Some writers only contribute small amounts to their books, relying on hired writers to do the bulk of the work, just finishing it off themselves.
Once you’ve decided on a topic for your E-Book, and have done research to ensure that people are looking for and buying information on this topic, write a series of articles. Articles are less intimidating to write than a book, and you can use some of the articles as promotional tools to create demand for your forthcoming book. If these articles are sent to article directories, within a short space of time you should have a very good idea how many people have shown an interest and can estimate how successful it will be.
Writing the articles should help you work out in your head just how you want the e-book to look when it is complete. The most common way t structure a book is by having an introduction, then the content of the book with a concluding section but a resources area can be worthwhile too. You can also increase the value of the book by adding some bonus material or sections.
Normally authors will write an article and then insert it into their e-book as this gives them an idea of how it will look when it is completed. E-Books are shorter than print books with the optimum length being around 50 pages so stick to the topic, and offer good, useful information. Because it’s more difficult to read on your computer screen than on the page, ensure that there’s no information that essentially useless to your reader.
As an added extra, why not supply the reader with some bonus material you have located to give added value to your e-book; this is always appreciated. Your bonus material could include a small report (just write two or three additional articles), checklists, or add templates. However, as with all the material you create for your e-Book, ensure that your bonus material is relevant because it should be valuable on its own.
