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.
