How to Write an eBook and What to Do with It

Are you a service provider who is constantly educating your clients? If so, have you taken the time to examine the value of an ebook?

If not, do. Thanks to the popularity of the internet and ebook readers, such as the Amazon Kindle, writing ebooks is becoming a great way to attract new clients.

If you have never written an ebook before, you may be nervous about the process. As a service provider, you specialize educating your client and helping them with a challenge or produce a result they want.

An ebook can have 200 pages or more and yet not be as effective as a 30 page ebook that speaks to the pain points of your ideal client. Yes, when looked at from that point of a 200 page guide, writing an ebook seems like an overwhelming task. Instead, look at it as writing a series of articles that help solve a problem for a specific client. These articles will later be arranged in order and compiled into one ebook.

So, how can you get started writing an ebook?

1 – Choose a Category

If you are a coach, you specialize in helping your clients get a result they want.

This is your expertise, so you should stick with it. If you later want to expand to creative writing, do so. First, stick with what you know best. This will make writing an ebook easier.

As for the category, choose a topic that is interesting to you, of you are passionate about helping people with, parenting, wealth, sales, relationships, health, etc.

2 – Create a Title for Your ebook

If writing a how-to book, this will be very easy. What does your ebook show readers how to do? If it is save money, a good title would be “How to Keep More of Your Revenue, and Reduce Taxes.”

3 – Write Your Introduction

An introduction for an ebook is just like an article introduction. The only difference is the length. Summarize the purpose of your ebook, as well as your reasons for writing it.

Instead of squeezing your introduction into one paragraph, use the entire page so there is enough to give the reader a compelling reason to finish your entire ebook.

4 – Write Your ebook

This will be the hard part for most. As previously stated, think of it as a collection of articles. Create an outline first. If you want to show people how to save money, start by outlining the ways one can save money.

There is saving money on groceries, eating out, clothes, travel, utilities and so forth. Each of these can be a section or chapter.

Inside each chapter, break down into articles. For example, saving money at the grocery store can have one article that highlights why you should, how it can increase your savings, how you can use coupons, tips for finding coupons, and tips for getting full use out of them. Within minutes, you may have a collection of articles that can be transformed into an entire ebook.

5 – Write Your Conclusion

Your conclusion should summarize your ebook and what readers just learned. Restate some of your most helpful and money saving tips.

6 – Edit Your eBook

If you use Microsoft Word, the program will help you capture many grammar and spelling errors. It, however, isn’t 100% full proof. So, proofread and edit your book. If you need additional help with editing I'd recommend an app I use called Grammarly. Also consider hiring a professional editor, which I recommend in most cases.

Now that you know how to compose an ebook, you may wonder how to make money from it. The good news is that you have many options. You can create a website and sell your ebook from there, use a third-party marketplace and format your ebook to digital text to sell it as an Amazon Kindle book. To increase your earnings, do both.

Imagine if you could can-and-clone your sales message that you are talking to prospective clients about and have your clone talking about what you do 24/7. That's exactly what an ebook can do for you. It allows you to leverage your time, and when someone buys your low-cost ebook, you now have a customer. It's been proven that someone pays you $1 or more are more than 5X more likely to spend more with you.

The bottom line is, an ebook can allow you to educate your prospects on the ideas you are passionate about, and earn some extra income to generate your new leads.
