It\u2019s way\u00a0easier these days to become an author. You don’t have to send off a manuscript to a publisher and hope they choose your book out of the thousands of other hopefuls then wait to see if you get that awful rejection slip!<\/p>\n
Nope, not any more. You can write whatever you want and self publish your pride and joy\u00a0on a growing number of book-selling sites. Amazon Kindle is still the cream of the crop. Keep in mind that while being an author and publishing is now easier\u00a0that is no guarantee you are actually going to sell your eBooks.<\/p>\n
Inject your personality. Let who you are shine through. This will add depth to your eBook and let it stand apart from others that may be similar. Plagiarizing is completely illegal and should never be done. You don’t have to stoop to that however the reality is that ideas and concepts can be presented in a new light.<\/p>\n
Realize that\u00a0few\u00a0books are bought simply to inform – anyone can search the internet for information.\u00a0To get a person to buy a book in addition to teaching them something you need to inspire, captivate, challenge and entertain them. They want to get their money\u2019s worth and a\u00a0book that is worth reading.<\/p>\n
You can achieve this by letting who your voice and experience shine through in the book. Add your own quirkiness or your own sense of humor. Share your personal opinions and ideas. Allow your reader to feel like they are getting to know you and what you think.<\/p>\n
Write enough so that your reader feels like they are receiving\u00a0value\u00a0for money. That\u00a0doesn’t mean ‘just write to fill the space’. \u00a0It’s not about size: it’s about quality content. A good writer will be able to add value while ensuring they create an eBook that is long enough to tempt readers to make the purchase. You want your readers to be satisfied with your book and the information they are getting. They won\u2019t be if you cut it too short, if you give them just a little information on a subject or point but not enough to leave them feeling satisfied. This certainly is a balancing act and you\u2019ll need to decide what the right balance is.<\/p>\n
Fact is, if\u00a0you want your eBook to sell you need to be prepared to write something awesome!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
