Ebook Best Practices


Using eBook creation software and producing a well thought out ebook has become a popular way of earning money or attracting affiliates. If you have a flair for writing, you should consider making ebooks. There are many free ebooks available on the Internet which you can download from a web site, to get an idea of ebook writing. You can also read reviews to find out what makes an ebook really effective.

When writing an eBook, remember: the ebook should contain relevant and useful information and your information should answer questions and solve problems of the readers and benefit them in some way.

1. Choose the right topic:

Information ebooks, business eBooks or ebook novels are always in demand. Before you start writing an ebook, you need to ensure there's a market for your ebook. You need to choose an informative and useful subject. Preferably, choose a topic that you are an expert on. If the topic is something you are interested in, others will want to kow about it also.

2. Write in a reader-friendly way:

No matter how informative your ebook is, it won't attract the reader's attention unless the book is easy to read and understand. Remember, you are writing an informative ebook and not a college paper. Don't include too much technical jargon that is difficult to understand. You don't want your readers to sit with a dictionary while reading your ebook.

Write in a conversational and casual tone instead of a formal tone, unless your topic requires formal language. By doing this, you can connect in a better way with the readers. Do not write lengthy sentences, as they can disengage your readers. Instead, break up the structure and length of your sentences to ensure you don't hypnotize your readers into sleep.

You don't want your readers to find your ebook confusing and hard to remember. Keep your information in lists, both numbered and bulleted. This will make the information much easier to absorb and remember.

You can also consider including testimonials, anecdotes, photographs or short stories in your eBook to make it more interesting. Even the smallest error on your part can affect your eBook sales. Be sure to use the grammar and spell checker in your word processing software.

3. Pay attention on your eBook design:

Remember, you are not writing the eBook to test your readers' visual capabilities. Design your eBook in such a way that the readers don't strain their eyes while reading. If the pages of your eBook are very dense, readers may find it difficult to read. Utilize the white space or "negative space" to ensure rest for your readers' eyes. Choose a font that's easy on the eyes and use the same font throughout the eBook. The text should be large enough to be easily read on the screen. Use line spacing of at least one and a half lines.

PDF ebooks are very popular. After completing your ebook and having it laid out in an easy-to-read manner, convert it from ebook format to a PDF format using any free PDF converter program. PDF can be an ideal solution especially for smaller ebook files. Besides, a PDF ebook will be more likely to attract the readers' attention.

Lasty, don't forget to include an index and a bibliography to give your eBook a professional touch.

4. Sell eBooks online:

After writing, you can put your ebooks for sale on the Internet. To make sure all the effort you put in writing the ebook don't go unnoticed or unrewarded, you need to market and sell them wisely. For marketing ebooks, you can contact ebook sellers or join ebook forums.

If writing is not one of your best virtues, you can hire an eBook writer. You can also consider buying ebooks from online ebook stores or ebook sites and then resell ebooks.
