Article Writing and Marketing

Write your eBook now

Writing an ebook is the culmination of lots of writing and preparation. It is best to get started on the marketing of your ebook long before it is actually written. There are several ways to do this, but this technique has proved to work very well in helping you to build a list as you are writing so that you have a list of people to market to as your ebook nears completion.

• As soon as you complete your outline and begin the writing process, start writing articles based on what you are writing about. These articles should be no more than about three hundred and fifty words and should make a point or share information that will be valuable to your reader.
• Submit these articles to

Writing Your First Ebook

You may have an idea for an ebook you want to write. This idea may have been in your mind for quite a long time. If you have not written this ebook yet, or if you have been working on it for several months, it may be time to put it away until you write another ebook as your first one. Here are some tips on how to quickly write your first ebook.

• Stay with the same topic and decide to write a shorter ebook first, just so you can get your writing out to others on the internet.
• Write a few articles and then use them in your ebook to provide good, solid information to your readers.
• Use the outline format to divide your book into chapters and then work for an hour or so to write each chapter.
• Write an introduction, short bio about yourself, a conclusion, and a list of resources for your reader to go to after they have finished reading. If you are affiliate for any of these resources, be sure to include the absolute links as well as anchor text. This will ensure that you get credit for these products and services when people print out your writing.
• Spend time to find a title that is catchy and keyword rich. A good title will help you to sell more copies and will get more attention online.

Using these tips will help you to move past the stage of being a beginning writer. As soon as you finish writing this first, shorter book, begin work immediately on the ebook you intended to write in the first place.

Market While You Write

It is best to start marketing your ebook before you have finished writing it. There are several ways you can easily do this.

• Start a blog on the topic of your ebook. Do this as soon as you have decided what your ebook will be about. This way you can repurpose your blog posts into parts of your ebook and you will also come up with more ideas and information for your ebook.
• Write a short report, five to twenty pages, and offer it for sale on eBay. Even if you sell it for one dollar, the goal will be to generate leads for your completed ebook.
• Begin to hold teleseminars to discuss the topic of your ebook. Allow people to ask questions in advance so you will know what they are interested in knowing about your topic.

Think about other ways you can market your ebook while you are writing it. You will sell more ebooks by thinking creatively about how to market early in the writing process.

Write Your Ebook Now

It is said that at least 80% of people have a book thay would like to write, yet less than 10% ever actually complete a book of their own. Why is this? Many reasons, but perhaps the greatest one is procrastination. Don't let the "P" word hold you back.

Make a list, right now, of ideas that you have always thought would make good books, if someone would just write them. Make notes next to any ideas that you want to write about now. Narrow your list of ideas down to 4 or 5 good ones. Spend the next two or three days looking at your list whenever you think about it and make any additional notes. Think about how you would feel if you wrote your book over the next six weeks or so.

Writing From An Outline

I am currently writing a new eBook on how to write an ebook from an outline. This is a method I have always used to write and it seems worthwhile to share it with others.

I brainstorm my ideas and end up with a list of 8-12 "Big Ideas" that end up being my chapter titles. Then I add material and information to each big idea and see if I need to add or take away chapters. After that I put the chapters in a logical order and begin writing a little every day in one or more of the chapters. Within about a month I have a new eBook and, along the way, I have submitted many more articles to the article directories, leading people back to my blogs or websites! Give it a try if you are writing an eBook, or would like to write an ebook, using your articles.
