Writing Ebooks for Beginners

Writing Ebooks for Beginners

This is a huge market. Writing ebooks for beginners is as easy as it is profitable.

Think about it.

You want to learn about buying stock so what do you do?

If you're like most people living today you want to get that information as quickly as possible.

3 Things come to mind:

1. An internet search, reading an article or two
2. Driving to the local BAM and buying a book
3. Buying an ebook

Reading only posts will serve as an introduction to the topic and could lead to weeks and weeks of reading and waiting on new posts on the topic.

Driving to BAM isn't really instant gratification anymore, but sitting at home and clicking a button and getting an ebook without cranking up your car is.

How to Write an Ebook

How to write an ebook is our topic today.

The first thing you have to do is come up with an idea. By this I mean, primarily that you choose a niche to write your ebook.

Are you writing fiction? Self-help? Bios?

After you figure out what niche you're most comfortable with, it's time to start writing.

Let's say that you are writing an ebook about becoming a better freelance writer.

The very first thing to do is write a catchy title.

Then you may start off with a very brief chapter that outlines the rest of your ebook for your readers. Let them know what's in it for them and where you're taking them.

Keep in mind that ebooks are much shorter than hard copy books because people who buy ebooks want information fast. They don't want to sit in front of a computer for days upon days reading the same material.

It's ok to be brief.

As you are writing your first chapter, you should be using it as a rough draft outline for the rest of your ebook. Don't get too stressed if it's not perfect. In fact, it's best if you write the first part of the book last. By this I mean, you should fine tune it. Make it match up with the rest of your book.

Using the first chapter as a rough outline, you should flow into each subsequent chapter. Maybe chapter 2 is about assessment of one's ability as a writer with writing exercises and tests to determine a starting point and then chapter 3 is a more instructional chapter that illustrates all the techniques that successful freelancers are doing now and so forth and so on with the chapters until you get to the last chapter.

In the final chapter you should summarize and review, trying to keep on track with what you promised your readers in the first chapter. After you've written the last chapter, go back and make your adjustments for chapter one so that your ebook flows well.

I hope that these tips for how to write an ebook have been helpful. Next time we will work on what to do with your ebook after it's been written.

Why Write an Ebook?

Why does anyone bother writing ebooks?

That's a good question-especially when there's nothing like the feel of real book that you can take anywhere and read with little eye strain.

I'll tell you why-it's much, much easier to get published through an ebook than it is to get published the traditional way.

When you write an ebook, you have to keep in mind that shorter is better. Your readers want to get the same amount of information they could get from a traditional book faster. That's why they turn to reading online.

Publishing an ebook can be done as soon as you've finished writing it. Information online is a fast-paced market, so getting your ebook out the same day you finished writing it is a huge plus.

Think about how long it takes someone who has written a traditional book to even get published! Your doing in one day what it takes them months to years to accomplish after writing the last sentence of their book.
