An eBook can turn what you know into a product that sells repeatedly. Most eBooks sell modestly, so treat the first one as a learning project.
1. Choose a focused topic
Solve one specific problem for a specific reader. "Meal prep for shift workers" is easier to sell than "healthy eating".
2. Outline and write
Outline chapters around the steps a reader needs to take. Set a daily word goal and write a full draft before editing.
3. Edit and format
Have someone else read it. Format for e-readers and PDF, and get a clean, readable cover.
4. Price it
Look at similar titles in your niche. Shorter practical guides are often priced lower than full-length books.
5. Sell it
- Major eBook marketplaces
- Your own website
- An email list of people interested in the topic
