It can seem daunting to write an entire eBook. But, the truth is that writing an eBook is no harder than writing a blog post. Just learn to take it one page at time and not worry about or think about the entire thing at once. These tips can help you create your first eBook without breaking a sweat.

1. Come Up With an Idea – Before you even begin with writing a book, you need to know what the idea is. Come up with an idea for your book that fits your target audience’s needs and solves problems for them.

2. Brainstorm Your Idea – Once you come up with an idea, brainstorm the idea in order to come up with enough content ideas for an eBook. Some people like writing outlines; other people like using mind maps. You can brainstorm however you want, but give yourself a time limit to cut down on procrastination.

3. Write Down Main Points to Cover – One you’ve fleshed out your idea, write down some main points to cover. The main points should become different chapters for your eBook.

4. Name the Chapters – Once you know the main points you want to cover, turn them into compelling chapter titles.

5. Write a Summary for Each Chapter – As you write the chapter titles, ensure that you can write a short summary of what will be included in each chapter.

6. Flesh Out Each Chapter – Make a list or small outline for each chapter with the points you wanted to cover in the summary.

7. Write an Intro and Conclusion for Each Chapter – It might seem odd but writing your intro and conclusion first can help you stay focused on what you are supposed to cover within each chapter.

8. Format the Book – Make your book look pretty now so that the formatting flows from one page to the next without worry. Remember to use headers and subheads so that you can easily insert the page of contents.

9. One Day at a Time – Remember to take your book writing one day at a time. If you’re writing a 10,000 word eBook, and you only write 500 words a day (about the length of an average blog post), you will only take 20 days to finish your eBook. Not bad.

Creating an eBook isn’t really any different than writing many different blog posts about the same topic. In fact, you could technically take old blog posts, organize them in a cohesive manner, update them for the new format and publish that as your book. If you take it one day at a time and break it up into small pieces, you’ll have your book ready for publishing in no time.
