WHAT IS EBOOK WRITING


For the sake of newbies, what is Ebook Writing?

Ebook is short-form for “Electronic Book”. It makes use of computer, mobile, application (in PDF format) to display long-form texts in book form as shown below:

Let me explain further;

Ebooks are used to display large bulks of information (Text), images, infographics etc. that can be transferred (in form of downloadable PDF) from one person to another electronically.

Such information are contained in multi digital pages which can be scrolled or flipped through page-by-page to the end.

Now,

Lets get down to the real business of the day.

Bloggers are familiar with the art of creating content in form of blogposts, video uploads, images, infographics, email newsletters etc. but most times struggle to utilize this aspect of ebook writing.

If you are one of them, we will break down everything about ebook and how to bring it to life.

STRUCTURE OF AN EBOOK


A typical ebook is made up of the following;

1. Ecover
2. Topic
3. Legal statements
3. Table of Contents
4. Body (in pages, chapters, sections and sub-chapters)
5. Conclusion
6. Acknowledgement
7. Index

We are going to briefly look into each item one-by-one.

Follow me.

Ecover

The full meaning is Ebook Cover shortened as “Ecover”.

This is the first thing that a reader sees when he opens an ebook on mobile phones or computers via various application(s).

It encompasses the main topic of the ebook graphically summarily in form of descriptive images and texts and additional info such as its edition, writer, caption etc.

For example, this ecover below tells us how an ecover looks like.

The Ecover is just synonymous with the Hardcover of a physical book.

Lets move to “TOPIC”

Topic

This occupies the 2nd page of an ebook and tells us what the ebook is all about summarily.

It comes in various forms of bold, fancy fonts in various colors and designs.

As you can see below, topic is “Blogging for Dummies

Legal Statements

This is one of the most important part of this ebook.

It covers disclaimer, copyrights and intellectual property claims.

The purpose of writing such legal statement is to protect your work against any form of infringements from the public.

it explains that you are the original author and owner of the ebook and all forms of copying, theft, plagiarism are prohibited and there will be serious legal repercussions for anyone who uses your contents without permission.

A typical example is as shown below;

Table of Contents

At a glance, this aspect further gives its readers an idea of what lies in the main content or body of the ebook.

In other words, it displays headlines and sub-headlines of every sections of the text in correspondence with their chapters.

Body of Content

This covers everything about the topic in terms of texts, images, infographics, embedded videos etc.

It contains images and video links to aid better understanding of what message the author is passing across in text.

Conclusion

Here, the author rounds off the main content of his ebook, putting finishing touches to all his writeup.

Acknowledgement

While preparation of his ebook, the author must have sought information, advice, directions and encouragements from colleagues, family members, friends etc for a successful publication of his ebook.

Do you think they deserve appreciation from you for the assistance they have provided so far?

That is the work of the acknowledgement page.

Index

Sometimes, readers might find it difficult to locate certain sections of the main content for quick assessment, hence this is where the index page comes into play.

Index contains important keywords alongside the page numbers where they are located, all in alphabetical order (A-Z).

See how it looks like below;

HOW TO WRITE AN EBOOK

Any mistake or error can make or mar the main objective of this ebook and must be treated with all levels of expertise.

But do not worry

There are software to aid you in creating an ebook from the scratch.

2 most popular ones are Nitro Productivity Suite and Adobe Acrobat Pro.

The former costs $128 while the latter, though only available to some countries, goes for $12 per month subscription.

Remember the negatives i promise to tell you above?

You remember?

Good!

Lets check them out below:

Well,. they may not be setbacks or negatives per se but they are UPSELLS that offer EXTRA features at higher prices.

Upsell 1 — Sqribble professional.

Unlock 150 more professional eBook templates (the best ones are in the professional version), graphics and even more ready—made content for all kinds of niches.

(Just so you know, single templates from stock websites would cost you up to $450… for just ONE template!)

Great for those that want more variety, content and heavy users.

Upsell 2 — Sqribble Prime.

Get 15 premium “limited edition” new eBook templates added to your Sqribble dashboard every month.

This will increase your library over time, and make you stand out from other users.

It works out to less than two bucks for a template! (Much cheaper than stock sites.) Great for moderate users.

Upsell 3 — Sqribble Fantasia 3D.

This includes 2-in-1 features.

1.) Unlocks a 3D cover creation tool inside your dashboard, allowing you to turn “flat” covers into lifelike, 3d covers. Great for getting more attention and making your books look and feel more “real.”
People do judge a book by its cover, so something to keep in mind.

2.) Create “Flipbooks” that turn your eBooks into interactive and animated pages that turn like in real life.
They can be linked to from anywhere online, as well as embedded on web pages with a single piece of code. This is really cool.

If you’re going to be using Sqribble to create eBooks as a service to get paid, then Auto Job Finder is something that you need.

It will automatically find you related jobs across various freelance websites and notify you so that you can fulfil them. A huge time saver and money earner.

Aside these Upsells, Other negatives are

— Some of my favorite features are locked behind upsells (3D covers and Flipbook feature) but honestly speaking, this isn’t really an issue because 2D evovers are very much perfect too. The 3D is just an extra.

— When inserting content from a URL, you need to cite the URL source and/or credit the original author of the content, if it’s not your own (this isn’t really Sqribble’s fault — it’s just the law!)

But hey,

Here is the deal;

Despite all these negatives, you can still utilize the least edition of sqribble ($67) without necessarily buying its upsells

Infact, see reasons why i personally love scribble and would love you to get for it here;

Firstly,

1.PDF
2. EPUB
3. MOBI
4. AZW
5. ODF and

TYPES OF EBOOK


Choosing a type of ebook depends on the purpose of writing and type of audience you are writing to.

Lets check them out

Case Study: People love reading case studies because it clears any form of doubt in thier mind and offers them the opportunity to decide whether to go for that particular product or not.

So if you want to market a product to your readers, have a recorded interaction (successes, challenges as regards your product) with a happy buyer who is satisfied with your product and include such conversation as a case study.

Research: You can conduct a thorough experiment about a controversial issue and put your findings in an ebook. then, you sell or give out the ebook for free in exchange for traffic visits, contacts etc.

Trust me, this process works.

Product Demo: While launching a new product (digital or physical), it will do well to create an ebook guide to offer instruction, guidelines, steps about your product and how to run it professionally.

Interview: In your niche, interview an influential person about how he became successful, after-which you post it in an ebook.

For example, in the digital marketing niche, you can do a man-to-man discussion with Neil Patel on his journey of how he became highly successful in his field and publish it in an ebook.

Blog Post Series: You can create an ebook equivalent of any blog posts of your website simply by using the “transfer from URL” feature.
This allows your post to be shared and accessed on mobile devices anywhere offline.

Playbook;. This serves as an information needed to run a product more successfully.
For example, a software developer can create a virus protection playbook that teaches IT professionals how to avoid getting viruses while making the software.

STEPS IN WRITING AN EBOOK


The following are steps to take if success is your goal in writing an ebook.

Lets check them out

1.Choose A Topic
2. Outline your chapters
3. Write your Introduction
4. Write your ebook chapter by chapter
5. Write your conclusion
6. Proof-read and edit
7. Format and Design
8. Publish
9. Promote your ebook

Choose A Topic

This step can make or mar your ebook processing, so you need to trade very carefully in choosing the right set of keywords in your topic.

To attract readers, your topic must be clear, precise and straight to the point.

And it must express explicitly of what the whole content is all about.
See examples of some ebooks topics

If you observe very well, you can see how beautiful and eye-catching the cover is.

TAKE NOTE OF THAT!

Outline Your Chapters

After figuring out your topic, organize your headlines and subheadlines using chapters with numbers from one and above accurately.

This serves as a guidance for any reader to easily trace the section he is interested in at that moment or to continue from where he has stopped or to check the progress he has made so far in his course of reading the ebook.

Write Your Introduction

Here is the deal;

you need to take this part very seriously just as the topic.

The is where you set the tone and draw your readers in to decide whether to read your ebook or not.

At this point, the introduction covers info on “about the book”, “Dedication”, “foreword”, disclaimer/copyright statement etc.

About The Book:

The Dedication is where you express your appreciation and gratitude to friends, family members, mentors, colleagues and every others who has contributed towards the success of your ebook.
Disclaimer/copyright statement: this is where you state that your book is protected by law, hence copying, theft, plagiarism of any or all part of the content is highly prohibited.
Foreword: This is where you describe your journey so far- Struggles, obstacles, successes, financial constraints etc towards creating your ebook.

It is not a must that you must add all these. if you want to, it is OK.

And if you want to add more. No problem.

Write Your Ebook Chapter-By-Chapter

This constitutes the main body of the whole ebook.

As you write, there are steps to follow to make sure you don’t lose guide off the main topic;

— Keep your main topic in mind: while writing content, make sure that all the chapters blends together in line with the main topic with each chapter supporting your main arguments as you write.
Focus on your readers: Do all you can to draw your main point convincingly using graphics, charts, tables, images etc.
— Include call to action(CTA): At the end of each chapter, insert a CTA to force the reader to take action such as moving to the next chapter, visiting a link, downloading etc. This is very important.
— Master copywriting: This is the act of writing to promote a product, person, business or idea and keeping the reader pinned to what he is reading.

So how do we achieve that?

We do so by simply writing as if you are talking to the readers face to face and using power words e.g. best, astonishing, shocking, quick, instant as well as bucket bridges e.g. here is the kicker, want to know the best part, now it is your turn, lets jump right in etc.

Write your conclusion:

Here, you thank your readers for showing interest in your ebook. you also offer practical advice, tips and strategies on how to utilize the ebook to the fullest and include any other thing about ebook generally.

Proof-read and Edit

This task is going to be very tedious and but difficult due to the large volume of text as it is expected of ebook writing.

Though it is advisable NOT to edit while writing as it may slow you down, but majority of issues that calls for proofreading are typo errors and there are tools to aid you out such as the grammarly tool.

Aside the tool, you can search for sellers on fiverr who offer proof-reading services to help you out for a fee as shown below;

Format and Design

After editing, its time to convert your ebook into various formats depending on the type you want. Such formats are PDF, MOBI, IBA, AZW and more.

And also, you get to choose the template design you need for each chapter, front-cover and back-cover.

Here are few general guidelines to follow;

— Include a footer and header: Include numbers at the top and/or bottom of each page.
— Cross-check images and graphics: Make sure the images, charts, screenshots etc align correctly with each message you are trying to pass across.
— leave lots of white space: Avoid writing large bulks of text. leave spaces in-between paragraphs and lines. Use large fonts and wide margins between pages.

All these are to ensure that your readers dont get their eyes strained while trying to read the contents of your ebook.

Publish

Big Congratulations!

You are finally done with the writeup.

All is left now is to hit the “Publish” button.

But not so fast. Instead skim through all the pages again for the last time to be 100% reassured that everything is in place.

Once done, the publish button is at your mercy.

Promote Your New Ebook

An ebook is as good as dead if no one reads or even knows about it. Much like a website in the 20th google result page.

So, writing an ebook is one part, promoting it is another and there are numerous ways to promote ebooks.

They are stated below;

Organize a giveaway: ebooks can act as lead-magnets in exchange for contacts e.g. email address, phone numbers, name etc.
Send it to your email subscribers and plead with them to share across social media, blogs, forums etc.
Create a social media schedule posts: Announce ahead to your social media followers about the launch of your new ebook to kept them in anticipation till the launch date.

Finally, you can carry out paid advertising and do partnership with other bloggers to help promote your ebook to a new audience.
