How to write an e-book


Many business people are writing e-books and selling them online as a way to reach more people and make money out of their ideas and knowledge. If you think you have some knowledge that people could find useful, then maybe you could do it too!

I found a useful intro on writing an e-book on George Watt's blog which should help you get started. It gives you the steps you should take before you start writing, particularly important is making sure you have a good reason to write the book. He suggest you ask yourself the following questions before you start:
* Does your book present useful information and is that information currently relevant?
* Will you book positively affect the lives of your readers?
* Is your book dynamic and will it keep the reader’s attention?
* Does you book answer questions that are meaningfuland significant?

He then goes through the steps of defining the target audience, setting your goals, deciding the format of the book and how to make your e-book user friendly. Click here to read the article.
