HERE ARE SIMPLE 5 STEPS INVOLVE IN CREATING AND PUBLISHING EBOOK ONLINE

STEP 1: Research your topic and your target audience

Once it comes to creating an ebook, the first step is to research your topic and your target audience as mentioned earlier in these articles.

You see the creating of an eBook journey is an art and science you need to master and once you are able to follow this guide you will find it so easy in creating ebooks topics of your choices

But first, you need to take a careful look at who you are pitching it to. the categories of people whom you are writing for matters a lot

Knowing this information is like knowing which person in a crowd holds your good fortune. You have to know what he looks like, what he’s wearing and why he might be looking for you.

So unless you know your target market well enough you are essentially shooting blind. so let break this down a bit for better understanding

.a: Find out who your target market is?

Before you start writing an ebook or brainstorming the topic, find out who your target market is. Now you want to take that information and think about who these people are.

So you have to research this information wherever you can. Think about your target market age, they sex, and location.

And also think about their income levels and career paths. Most importantly, think about how you can write an eBook that will be of help to them.

.b: Do A Deep Research About Your Topic

One of the best things you will have to do is to do a deep research about your writing topic, some time research can cost you a good amount of time and money.

But it will make you thousands and save you just as much in the wasted effort for falling into the trap of writing trash.

.c: Use Keyword Planner.

Once it comes to online publication you must write inline with a popular keyword in search engine competitors

The next thing you need to do after you have gotten a topic is to work on the keyword and come up with keywords that are related to your writing topic.

So to do that, you will need one of our product called SEO MASTERCLASS, Go here to grab it or best stick with logging into your Google Analytics account and look at the popular keywords related to your writing topic

And make out search phrases in form of keyword that people are using to find your writing topic on the internet as the main keyword for your writing topic

Also look at your writing topic competitors on Google and see what post or ebooks are most popular for them. This will give you some good idea about using keywords that you will use to outrank them in time.

.d: Analyze the traffic level of your targeted market

The next thing you need to do is to input your keyword into analytic and find out if any other related keywords could perform better when compared with the level of traffic associated with the keyword. For example,

When I was researching the title of this article ( How To Create And Publish Your Book Online ) I found out that “How To Make eBook” gets slightly more searches than “How to create an eBook” and so I decided to target that instead.

STEP 2: Brainstorm A Good Topic or killer Topic For Your eBook

Come up with a killer topic or title Once you have narrowed down your target market your topic and title should absolutely blow people away and solve people’s problems. In other words, your topic should be a solution to a problem

To go about getting a killer topic, you will need to have an original edge on a relevant topic.

In coming up with a good topic, your topic should be much more about you than your audience, do you write for your audience, but here you topic should focus more on what you have experienced on for some time, not just copy and paste stuff

One important thing to realize in writing, creating and publishing an ebook is that making a good eBook is as much about you as it is your target audience.

Here Is Why?

Because you are the one that is writing it, promoting it, selling it and believing in it. Unless you have a passionate and knowledgeable interest in the thing you are going to fail before you start.

e.g, Don’t make an eBook about sports betting unless you know enough to help people in winning bet odds and then love it enough to push it for some time.

.a: Personalize your ebook

Top rated eBooks are the ones that share a personal experience about a very common topic.

Here Is Why?

Because it adds authority. And authority is very important when it comes to books and articles, hope you remember what I said early about building your authority.

Because you need to show potential readers and customers that you are experienced enough to know what you are talking about in that area.

Let’s take for example ” how to make money from sports betting”. Let’s say you write an eBook called How to Make Million Naira Per Month From Sports Betting.

Now, if you make a million naira per month and think you can teach others how to do the same then that is a very good book to write on.

If, however, you have never made that money yourself then you really have no authority on the topic. And people will smell it a mile off, so take note.

So, whatever topic you choose to write on, make sure you have a personalized angle attached to it. This is very important. preach what your practice

.b: Make Your eBook Title Stands Out

Stands out and Specific eBook titles work best. some time It doesn’t matter whether it is a book or a blog post. For example, I wrote a post called SEO Masterclass   which is all about, How To Make Money From Google, Yahoo, Bing, Fiverr and Upwork offering SEO Services And About 250 people ordered it in less than 24 hours after it was launched and not to mention

SEO Masterclass hit the front of Delicious and went on to even get picked up by some international and local online newspapers. All this was because the topic was specific and relevant.

STEP 3: Make ensure you have the right editing program and tools

In writing your editing program in the form of software and writing tools matters a lot.  Today we have article writing tools, we have online and desktop base dictionaries and thesaurus etc

One of my number writing tools is Grammarly, you can learn more about Grammarly here, Grammary is one of the best tools every writer out there should have

Another writing tool is a text editor, text documents etc So you can use the tools to write your eBook and format it so that it is all pretty. This is where the magic happens and, unless you know what you are doing, the obstacles may step in and spore your writing.

a: Also Use Open Office to write

Now, this will probably be contested by a lot of you but I have found Ms. Open Office to be my second best program to write eBooks after Grammarly.

Here Is Why?

Because it is totally free and has an excellent selection of features. For example, it allows you to instantly convert your regular .doc file to a .pdf files

And it also has a massive range of really nice fonts to choose from. If you have a new version of Microsoft you can probably do all of this stuff within the interface of Ms open office.

.b: In writing, you have to start with an end result and work backward

People are downloading your eBook because they want to figure out how to do something. For this reason, you should start with the end result that they are looking for and work your way backward.

Sometimes I will write the contents page first because it gives me a good plan. Other times I will just write like crazy and worry about the format later.

It doesn’t matter as long as you are systematically getting people closer to achieving their goals.

.c: eBook Formatting Use two types of headers and lots of paragraphs, lists and breaks

Have a look at all of my posts here on NairaLearn as well with some of the eBooks we have shared or sold over time. The reality here is that they have two types of headers (main and sub) and they have lots of lists and paragraphs.

Contents are well formatted, the reason for this is because people hate digesting large lumps of content. While long-form content is getting more popular, it needs to be formatted in a scan-able way.

.d: Work on your images content

Over the year I have tried so many different places to get quality photos and here are the best solutions I have found online, Go here For List Of Websites Where You Can Get Stock Image For Free, You can use these images on any website and in YouTube videos and you will never get any copyright strike

You can also use photoshop desktop application and productshort pro to add some graphics write up on your images and discover How To Design eCover For Free You also want to avoid stock photography that has been used thousands of times before.

Secondary: In case you don’t know how to go about this, getting photos for your ebook, you can outsource the service of photographer and that of a graphic designer.

.e: Use a safe, well-proven font and simple colors

Some time ago I download an eBooks and find it hard to read it due to bad font and color combination, this is something you should avoid while formatting your ebook contents

You really only need to use a simple font like Arial, Verdana or Georgia at size 14 or 16 and then a simple color scheme like black text color and a matching color background

Don’t go overboard when it comes to this stuff! Less is always more in the design field. You should also avoid bright reds for text as it looks spammy.

.f: Get it proofread by others

After you, most have written and formatted the layout of your work, it’s now time to get your work proofread by others.

Once it comes to proofreading eBook, go for someone who is not afraid to give you harsh feedback. Also, think giving it out to professional writers or other people in your industry.

The point is not so much to find spelling, phrase and sentence mistakes (although that is important) but to figure out whether it is solving problems, coherent, etc.

You really need someone to be able to give you the hard truths about your writing style and execution of ideas.

.g: Create an eBook cover to use

Your ebook is as great as how good looking the eCover is, as I said earlier that pictures tell a million words, you will need professional on this, due you can still learn how to create ecover here

In all, a really important part of the process here is to have a nice eBook cover to promote your eBook PDF file.

These things are great because they increase the perceived value of the product by making it seem like something solid. Of course, it’s just an eBook PDF file

STEP 4: Convert your contents to eBook PDF File

After every process done, next is to convert your text and image contents to an ebook, using the word to ebook converter.  This final step is the part where the eBook version is created

.a: Understanding PDF file

All eBooks are in PDF file format.

Here is why?

Because they are universally recognized by Macs device and PCs system, and work on all eBook readers running on both computer system, mobile devices, as well on the smart tv set.

PDF file also provides a consistent output. This is important. When you save a DOC file and send it to your friend’s chances are everyone will see something different.

Not with a PDF. They all look the same. This means your design and formatting work won’t go to waste.

Again, you will have to make sure you select the right zoom levels for your ebook because sometimes it will save blurry and may not be good for some reader experience.

So I recommend saving your eBook at 100 to 120% zoom level because this was smoothest. Due It may all depend on your graphics and logos and how well you have created and saved them in Illustrator or Photoshop.

Sometimes it is a good idea to get advice on this issue. You also want to save it at a high-quality level as long as this doesn’t mean the file size gets too big. Try to keep the file size below 1MB to 5MB if you can.

.c: Sale or give away your ebook
