Write your eBook Fast--First Steps to Finishing Line
Judy Cullins © 2003 All Rights Reserved.
Why write an eBook?
You want ongoing, lifelong multiple streams of income. You
want to raise your credibility and trust ratings with clients or
customers. You want to get your message out so the world can
be a better place.
You want to spend only a little time on it. (Would you be willing
to spend 4 hours a week?) You want to get it out fast (Would
4-8 weeks be OK?) You want to market for a low-cost
investment. And, for some of you, you are ready to be innovative
and even take a small risk to get your eBook read by hundreds
of thousands, rather than hundreds!
Where are you now?
You have an idea for your eBook; you have a lot of ideas!
Take a moment and decide which one you are most passionate
about now and will be for the next year or two. Focus on one
great idea, where you know what the audience needs or wants--
your solutions to their problem.
Or, do you have your eBook well on its way, but aren't finished.
You need advice on how to get it done, what's needed to publish
(not much!), and how to distribute it to pull continuous monthly
sales that can be 1/3 to 1/2 your income?
Who Should Write an eBook?
-If you want to share your unique message world-wide to
help people create a better life.
- If you are ready to invest a little to reap a great deal.
- If you are a business person who want to expand your
business and be a leader in your field.
-If you are willing to move much faster than traditional
publishing to sell faster, more, and create more cash
flow for marketing.
What do I Need to Know Before I write this eBook?
1. To help make your eBook successful apply the
essential "Seven Hot-Selling Points." These include
title, table of contents, thesis, "60 second tell and sell,"
one preferred audience, introduction and the back cover.
Why? Every part of your book can be a sales tool. When you
include the above "hot-selling points" you will have a roadmap
to guide you to writing a focused, organized, compelling book
that you will only have to edit a few times.
2. You also need to know how to write a focused, organized,
chapter each time. Think format. Each chapter should have
approximately the same number of pages if it is a self-help book.
Each book chapter may need an introduction, an opening few
questions or shocking facts to hook the reader to keep reading,
a few stories or analogies to illustrate your how-to's, and an
ending that may be a summary, questions to ponder, or action
steps to take.
Designing every chapter and knowing your essential "hot-selling
points" are your eBook's 24/7 sales team and a beacon that
brings out your best: writing a compelling, easy to read, inspiring
and informational eBook that hundreds of thousands of buyers
will want.

- 2). It’s Good To Be A New Writer: Breaking The Myth That Experience Is Everything By : Shelley Wake
There’s a rumor out there in the publishing world that an editor won’t even look at the work of a new writer. It might be true for certain types of writing, but after interviewing hundreds of editors, I’ve found that most are more open to new writers than you might think.
And there are a few major benefits to being a new writer too. So before you spend too much time trying to work out how you can appear to be a published professional writer when you’re not, consider taking advantage of your current position as a newcomer.

- 3). Penguin Publisher Reveals What It Really Takes To Get Published. By : Sharif Khan
Mr. David Davidar began his career in journalism and is founder of Penguin Books India. Currently, he is Publisher of Penguin Canada and also is author of the novel, The House of Blue Mangoes.
How did you first get started in the publishing business?
Twenty years ago I was working in Bombay and there was a colleague I knew who had done a publishing course at Harvard.

- 4). A Few Magazine Publishing Terms By : Scott Lindsay
The business of writing for magazines is often speculative in nature. It can often seem fruitless to conduct research on available paying magazines, attempt to understand their style and unique requirements, write the article, send the article, and then wait for what can seem a never ending response.
It can be even more daunting when you have invested significant time and energy and have received multiple rejection slips.

- 5). The Psychology Of Effortless Writing By : Saleem Rana
Through writing I can convey my entire experience so that someone else can benefit from it and learn from that experience without having had to be there. So, by writing I can give others much more than I can in person. In addition, writing bends time and I can convey my experience to someone centuries away.

- 6). Tricky Decisions By : Kael
Some people know exactly what to look for at the bookstore – others spend hours without finding what they have in mind…
Did you ever mistake the body lotion tube for the toothpaste a sleepy morning? No? Good, it’s not the best way to start the day.
This might be an awkward approach if you're aiming at the problem of choosing literature, but frankly, haven’t you too picked the ‘wrong’ book by a random grab at the bookshop or at the library? The book you put away with a sigh after three chapters.

- 4). How to Proofread Like a Professional By : Jaya Schillinger
Copyright 2006 Jaya Schillinger
Even as I wrote the title for this article, I got confused. Is "proofread" one word or two? I thought it was two, and my spell checker didn't have a problem with that, but when I double-checked myself with a popular on- line dictionary, I was able to catch my mistake. Proofread is in fact one word, "proof·read v. tr.

- 5). Benefit We Gain from Problem Solving By : Carol Miller
The real fact on this Earth is that no human being has ever lived without problems a single day. This is impossible. People deal wit problems every day and problems do not fade away by themselves, they stay until the person resolves them. When a person gets strong enough to overcome stress and get to the core of things, then the amount of problems lessens.

- 6). Self Publishing, A Miracle Of The 21st Century. By : Josephine Stungger
Are you a writer with lots of talent but no one will give you the time of day let alone a contract? Would you pay a professional publisher to make your book but can't afford it? Do you need a better tool than your plain old word processor to make your work look more professional and desirable? Do you possess special knowledge that if packaged in a book.

- 7). Storylines Crop Up at the Oddest Moments By : chicho
There I was on a restful weekend by the sea; enjoying coffee and croissant in a quaint little café at the end of the North Shore pier.
Looking outside through a musty rain smattered window my gaze was attracted to the contours of the magnificent edifice that is Blackpool Tower; drinking in the lines of the intricate steel framework that leads to the observation deck, to the twin platforms one above the other, and all the way up to the crow’s nest.

- 8). Choose Great Research Topics By : Denton Krypps
Doing research and writing research papers does not actually have to be as horrible as everyone makes it out to be. I have learned to enjoy the process of research from start to finish. Call me crazy if you will, but I guarentee that the future of your educational career can be much more enjoyable if you learn now to enjoy research. For me, enjoying it started with choosing the right research topics.

- 9). The Perils And Pitfalls Of Publishing: Who Can An Author Trust? By : Dee Power And Brian Hill
One out of every eight people call themselves a writer, which means there are roughly 24 million people in the United States who carry that banner. Unfortunately there are charlatans and scam artists just waiting to ambush the unsuspecting author. How can a novice writer protect themselves?
Anyone can call themselves a publisher. Always remember money flows towards the author from the publisher, not the other way round.

- 10). Jokes and Riddles - How To Write Them By : Steve Gillman
Just listening to or reading jokes and riddles may "wake up" your brain, but it is creating them that really exercises your brainpower. The process requires you to use both logical and lateral thinking skills. How do you do it, then?
Jokes and riddle don't come to mind randomly. In fact, after watching how many comedians create their routines, I am convinced that they use what I call "humor algorithms," even if they do so unconsciously.
