3 Secrets You Need To Know As An Ebook Writer by domaincash(m): 1:40pm On Jan 07, 2015
It does not matter if you are writing your first or your one hundredth ebook you can as well benefit from these three tips. Let’s get ready to go.

Secret Number1: When You Edit Examine Widely
When you start to edit your ebook have a open mind not a narrow mind. If you are busy looking too narrowly you’ll catch the missing comma, but miss something really significant. Focus on macro detail not micro detail. When you put your mind on micro details you are likely going to neglect main issues within the book. For instance, you may be worried about slight grammatical errors when really you should be thinking about rearranging the content and moving the chapters around.

Prior to your editing, you should go through the entire ebook. The most excellent way to do this is actually on paper or in PDF format on your tablet. The objective here is to read it in a format that won’t be easy for you to make little changes. This will help you to center your mind on the ‘big picture.’ Any main changes you see needing to happen, you’ll have to make notes on and then go back after you have read it from cover to cover, and start to make those changes.

Secret Number2: Don’t Design Your Front Cover Yourself
It’s true – we do judge a book by its cover. It’s a colossal mistake trying to throw together a cover yourself unless you are well knowledgeable in graphic designs. If you don’t have the exact skills then your cover will not look professional, it will look amateur and this can defer the readers. If you can afford to hire a designer to professionally do so, please do. It is good investment of your money. If you just can’t afford to hire someone to keep your design simple so that there is less worry of the cover being seen as inferior.

Secret Number3: Remember to Link Back to Your Blog
Your readers’ first contact with you might be your ebook. For example, they bought your ebook on Amazon. Readers can easily not remember where they got a book they downloaded, especially if it was from a blog, that is why it is important to link your ebook back to your blog. This is a great way to augment subscriptions to your main email list, as well you can even create a separate list that will tell current ebook readers when your next book comes out and what it will be about. It’s easy to do – just insert a link at the back of your ebook. That’s it – takes only a minute or two to add.

Now that you have these three key tips maintain them in your mind when you are writing your ebook.
