How the Pros Write One Great eBook After Another


Writing ebooks is quickly becoming a popular and appealing way to earn an income online. People can now read ebooks on all kinds of portable devices, so there's a demand for every genre and niche of book. In the past, you were pretty much limited to selling ebooks to other online marketers.

But these days, both fiction and nonfiction of all kinds are widely read in eBook format. Yet writing eBooks takes some research and effort, so you have to approach it in the right way. If you want to make sure your eBooks are well received, keep the following principles in mind.

You can actually use a variety of software programs that can help you write your eBook - you just have to know where to look. Formatting is a huge problem that can be averted by simply using software that takes care of this problem. Try to be cautious! Most programs use the default paper-based book's formatting structure - be careful of this! Make sure you set yourself up for an eBook format (which is slightly different). Then you should also make sure that the format is compatible with popular e-readers if possible. Whether you are using a format for Nook, Kindle or Sony eReaders, you need to be careful of these differences.

Any eBook that you write, especially when you are trying to tap into the IM marketplace, should be much shorter than nonfiction or fiction that you would buy at a store. When you make this eBook, you should not make any larger than 20 to 30 pages in total. Basically, a report, not a book. Why so short? Because they are looking for specific information, not something general. If you need to write a lot, it should be broken down into digestible chunks. Smaller eBooks sold for less money is the way that you get around this. Think about this as you are writing!

One thing that can give you a real advantage when writing your eBook is having a Beta Reader. Beta Readers are people who give you honest and valuable feedback about a book before the public sees it. Your Beta Reader will, preferably, be a member of your target audience. This has to be someone who is well qualified to give you valuable advice about your book. You're not looking for a mere proofreader here, but someone who is essentially going to review your book and tell you if it's enjoyable, informative and well written. They will point out flaws in logic and plot and other areas in which you can improve. This is someone who can play an important role when it comes to creating the best possible eBook.

Some people think that it's a simple matter to write an eBook. Whether you are writing an eBook or a physical book, the same amount of work has to go into it. You have to be just as concerned with quality and style when you write an eBook. So if you want to be a successful eBook author, it's important to learn as much as you can about the process before you begin. The above suggestions can help you get started!
