Steps to Consider Prior to Creating Your Ebook

If you are thinking of writing an ebook you will find writing your first one will be the hardest. Why? It will be difficult to think of topics for your chapters. You will have to get each section to correspond and line up with the other to read smoothly. It will take longer to proofread and edit.

Reading an ebook online is different from reading one offline. When you read offline, you can relax and get in a comfortable sitting position. You can underline or highlight important passages.

One way to make your ebook easier to read online is to keep your chapters short so as not to lose the readers interest. Of course the reader does have the option to print out the material. This is a good idea if the reader wants to reread it several times and keep it for handy reference.

Your first step is to decide what it is you’ll be writing about. Lets assume you are telling someone how to open a restaurant. Here is a partial outline of what to consider.

1) Pros and Cons of leasing or buying the property

2) How to negotiate your contract

3) How to equip a kitchen.

4) How to find suppliers and negotiate price.

5) Advantages of buying in bulk (price discounts)

6) Creating an effective menu

7) The art of hiring employees

8) Writing an effective policy for employees

9) Tips on setting up your dining room

10) Some thoughts on decorating

Once you have your outline finished, start putting your ideas in chapter form. Obviously some chapters will be longer than others. Do not try and make all chapters even in length by putting in a lot of fluff and filler. Whatever their length make sure they are of useful information.

Next will be your finishing touches such as table of contents, titles, headlines and adding headers and footers. The last step will be in formatting your ebook into a PDF.
