However, if you want people to read it, you will have to identify a niche or topic that people actively follow and want to read about. The book should solve a problem that is common among your readers if it is non-fiction. Fiction books, on the other hand, should be from a trending genre and must have an engaging plot.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_an_outline\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Create an outline<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good book is one which conveys the author\u2019s thoughts clearly, through a well-organized and structured narrative. If it is a fiction you\u2019re writing, you need to make a rough outline of the plot, and the sub-plots, if any. Also, all characters, their story arcs, and motivations need to be outlined in advance. In case of non-fiction, the author shall need to outline the objective the book aims to achieve, and the problems it shall resolve. Everything, from the introduction to the conclusion, should be planned and placed in the manuscript in chronological order. A planned narrative can go a long way in <\/span><b>writing a good eBook and making money in India <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by selling it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Write_the_first_draft\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Write the first draft<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019re done planning and outlining the manuscript, you can proceed to pen the first draft of the book. The biggest mistake new writers make is indulging in fancy wordplay. This, instead of impressing the reader, makes the content hard to comprehend. Make sure that the language used in your eBook is simple, so it can be read and understood by the masses with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_the_eBook_proofread_edited_formatted\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Get the eBook proofread, edited &amp; formatted<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you are done <\/span><b>writing the eBook<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can proceed to get it to proofread, edited &amp; formatted. Authors, usually, get too attached with their books for obvious reasons, and therefore may not find much fault in the content. This is why it is advisable to get the manuscript edited and proofread professionally. If you cannot get hold of a professional, you can ask your publisher to arrange one for you, which brings us to the next point of discussion i.e. the book cover.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pay_attention_to_the_cover\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Pay attention to the cover<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-done book cover goes a long way in selling books. Yes, this contradicts the old saying about \u201cNot judging books on covers,\u201d but like it or not, covers are an effective marketing tool in this age of trending tweets and viral hashtags. An eye-catching cover grabs readers\u2019 attention and pulls them to check your book out, or even buy it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Targeted_Marketing\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Targeted Marketing<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An author\u2019s work is only half done after <\/span><b>writing the eBook<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and getting it <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:List_of_companies_engaged_in_the_self-publishing_business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>self-published<\/strong><\/a>. If you are <\/span><b>writing an eBook for making money<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you need to make sure that it reaches the reader. Long story short, just getting the book listed on eBook platforms won\u2019t get the job done. To ensure that your book is bought in good numbers, you will have to leverage all the tools at your disposal, from blogging about it to organizing giveaways and getting the book reviewed. All this, however, needs to be done with the intent of targeting the audience that is interested in the kind of work you\u2019ve done. For instance, if your book is about self-improvement, you will have to reach out to those who blog about self-improvement, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To know more about <\/span><b>writing a good eBook <\/b>and making money<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from it, read our previous post on <\/span><b><a href=\"https:\/\/bfcpublications.com\/blog\/marketing-a-self-published-book-marketing-strategies-that-sell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marketing a Self-published Book<\/a>. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, please let us know your thoughts about this post by leaving a reply in the comments section below.
