You have some experience writing articles, go to the next step: E-Books

If you have written an article there is absolutely no reason why you cannot extend this to write an e-book which can bring even greater benefits. Many people delay writing their own because they don’t know where to star; some useful hints are detailed below. The process detailed here can be used for a person carrying out the whole project on their own or with one or more additional writers to help them.

We all have areas where we are knowledgeable and this is the place researching your e-book so start by writing some articles to gauge interest in the subject; because if there is an interest, people will pay. Single articles are an easy place to start and they can also be sued to market your book before you have even completed it. Post several articles on various websites, as well as on the article directories and the number of views your articles receive will show you what potential your book has for making sales.

It is then a simple matter of writing more articles for the e-book itself, all the time working on the overall structure of it. Books generally follow a familiar structure of: introduction, main subject content and a conclusion but it is becoming very common to see an additional section on resources. If you write a few more articles that complement the book you may find it will increase the overall perceived value.

As you complete your articles, insert them into your e-Book, the number of articles you require will depend on the overall length. Because e-books are usually shorter than a printed version, no-one wants to read material that has been added that is not related so it is best to stay close to the topic of the book. People do not like reading on compute screens so prefer to have shorter books that do not drift from the subject.

Most e-books provide bonus material so if you can find some include this as it will be welcomed. Your bonus material could include a small report (just write two or three additional articles), checklists, or add templates. Although one word of warning; make this content relevant to what the e-book is about.
