The Internet seems to be flooded with ebook writers. Some are hugely successful, raking in the money like there’s no tomorrow. Some are still wistfully watching the dimes and nickels trickle in. You may be a good writer, but to be successful you have to know how this medium works. Ebook writing is a different ball game from writing paper books. Here are a few tips to help you get the basics right of writing ebooks:
Identify a niche you love: Are you super passionate about cooking, fitness, technology or gardening? Remember to pick a subject that you absolutely love. Your passion will show in your work – and chances are if you love it, you’re really good at it. Don’t make the mistake of choosing a subject that you ‘think’ will be lucrative. 1. You won’t be able to sustain it long enough to create sequels 2. Your lack of knowledge will show 3. About two thousand people would have already thought of it.
Who’s going to read your book?: As budding ebook writers, you need to think clearly about your target audience. For instance, if you want to write an ebook on gardening, is it for 40+ housewives living in England who are already familiar with gardening? Or is it a 25+ professional who is new to gardening and would like to take it up on weekends? When writing ebooks, your subject, language and tone must be tailored for your target audience. It might be a good idea to pen down exactly who you want your customers to be, before you begin work.
Build a base: This step really needs to go up way ahead. Most successful ebook writers build a strong base before they actually get down to ebook writing. This base is a blog, where they make sure that they garner a loyal following first, before selling their ebooks to them.
What need can you fulfill: As ebook writers, you really need to think about a need or gap that you can fill. If your book is on Fashion and Styling think about what people really need. Perhaps you could help menopausal women at 50 still look (and feel) feminine and beautiful – without going under the knife?
Market yourself cleverly: As important as writing ebooks, however good, is the marketing itself. If you’re overwhelmed at the prospect of marketing your ebook yourself, you could consider hiring an SEO company to market your book for you. This should include doing SEO for your website/blog, Pay-per-click campaigns, banner campaigns and affiliate marketing.
