Authoring an ebook is the perfect way to show your expertise and prove your authority in a specific area. If this is not enough reason be an ebook writer today, how about this? With e-readers (and tablets with e-reader capabilities) becoming so popular today the audience for ebooks is widening like never before. If you have something important, useful or helpful to share with others, what better way to do it than by writing your ebook. Assuming that you already know what you want to write about, here are some ideas you can use.
Organizing your Thoughts
Your ebook is just a jumble of thoughts and ideas to begin with. It is up to you to make order of the chaos so that the basic structure of your ebook begins to emerge. Setting the boundaries is the most important step in organizing your thoughts since you know which thoughts will fit well within the scope of the book and which will not. Jot down a basic premise for each of the main topics you want to cover and then you can keep adding ideas and points under the relevant categories.
Where to Start?
If you really do not know where to start writing, you should simply write down the parts of the books that are fairly complete in your mind. You will be surprised to find that a good number of authors actually start in the middle of their work and then work forwards and backwards as the flow takes them.
Chances are you are itching to write a specific portion of the ebook and have the information, the statistics, sources all ready to write it down. You may even find yourself coming up with sentences that need to be used there. Simply start with this section. You will find that ‘writing backwards’ from this point becomes incredibly easy once this section is done to your satisfaction!
‘Talk’ to your Audience
An ebook does not have to be written in formal language to be taken seriously, with jargon generously peppering every sentence. In fact, the successful ebook is the one that makes for an easy read. Talk directly to your target audience without trying to show off your expertise or command of the language. Make sure that your ideas are being conveyed in simple words so that they can be understood quickly. Of course, use technical terms and jargon where they are necessary and apt but definitely not everywhere.
Retain Focus
Like a conversation that is aimless, an ebook that meanders aimlessly without making a specific point is doomed to failure. Your reader should know what he will gain by reading your ebook and your ebook should deliver on this promise without fail. That is why it is very important to keep your ebook’s focus within realistic and attainable limits. For example, claiming that your ebook will conclusively prove there is no God is probably not a very good idea at all!
There are a few general writing tips that you should keep in mind too. For instance, never, never ‘talk down’ to your audience. Avoid going to the other extreme, assuming a certain basic knowledge of concepts that your ebook discusses in detail. Keep sentences readable and short and do not contradict yourself anywhere in the ebook because then you will only end up confusing your readers thoroughly!
