If you have never written
an ebook, you probably think that is an incredibly impossible
statement. And if you have, you know that it is possible.
My first ebook took me
three months to write. My second, about three weeks. And my
eighth, I actually wrote in about 1 ¼ days.
So when I say write an
ebook in a week I mean it, and I have done better than that. In
this article, I will simply give you the steps I used to do it
and share with you a little of my mindset as I was working.
1) I sent out an email
asking my subscribers what they wanted to learn more about. Once
I had a feeling about what the next ebook should be about, I
went into Word and wrote out an outline. The outline had the
basic points of my topic, then under each basic point, I put
several ‘subpoints’ that I could write about.
2) I began writing in
sections - just one subtopic at a time. Do not look at the book
as one huge project, look at it as many small projects, and just
finish them one at a time.
3) I wrote about 5 pages
one evening, then the next business day, I set a goal of writing
the rest of it. I think that is the important part. In the
middle of the afternoon, when my back started hurting, and I was
tired, I only kept going because I had made the goal. One thing
that is important here is that you have to learn to write even
when you are tired. When I first started writing, I would write
when I was fresh. Now I write when I tell myself I have to get
the expected number of articles out, or the required number of
pages out. And when I say expected or required, that is kind of
how I think of them. I decide I am going to write 10 articles or
20 today, and that is usually what I do. And the same thing with
the ebook. If I have decided that I want to release it on a
certain day, then I have to do whatever it takes to get it ready
to release that day.
4) Once it was finished, I
put it down, and worked on the sales page for awhile.
5) Once I was rested from
writing, I went back into it and worked on links that needed to
be inserted, made headers and footers for it, ran spell check,
and checked it for appearance.
6) Later that evening, I
read it and corrected grammar and spelling errors not picked up
by spell check (note: never trust spell check).
7) The following morning I
had the sales page live and made sales by the evening.
Do I recommend you do this
in one day? No, take a week or two to do what I did. But you can
do it in a week or two; do not think you have to take a month or
two or three. You don’t.
