5 Day Ebook Writing Update - First Draft Complete

By MICHAEL LOW
Published: November 13, 2009

GOLD COAST, Australia, Nov. 13 --O.K. So I haven't posted here in almost a month. Big deal! I've been busy working on my ebook and other projects.

You're probably wondering how my ebook is coming along. After all, I said I was going to write it in 5 days and that was 5 weeks ago. So where am I up to?

Actually, I just finished the book and am having it proof read as we speak.

Is that bad that I wanted to write it in 5 days but took 5 weeks?

Personally I don't think so. What I do think is that taking extra time means I've done a much better job. But is that always true? Can you write an ebook in 5 days and still produce something of exceedingly high value? Personally I believe you can. And -- being a person who does not enjoy defeat -- I will again make an attempt to write an ebook in 5 days.

But not yet.

I need to get this first book proofed and published first. I'll let you know when it's available in case you want to acquire a copy. (It's really good, if I do say so myself!)

Anyway, now that I've given an update on my 5-day ebook writing project, I can talk about other topics useful to you as an ebook writer. So that's what I'll be writing about here over the next few weeks.

Things like:
  • Choosing a topic for your ebook
  • Selecting the all-important title
  • Choosing an ebook format - which formats to try and others to avoid
  • Writing tips for getting it done fast
  • How to sell it once it's written
  • And so on.
That's all for now.

Ebook Writing in One Week or Less

By MICHAEL LOW Published: October 6, 2009 GOLD COAST, Australia, Oct. 6 - Because it only take 6 days to write an ebook ... I've decided to write one this week. It's Tuesday, so I'll be writing it in 5 days instead of six. Which is cool. Because I'd rather take 5 days than 6. Today I'll choose the topic, do some foundational research, and plan the chapter titles. Tomorrow I'll begin writing the chapters. I'll also report on my progress each day by writing a short note here about the experience. Plus, I'll mention some of the tools I use to make writing and publishing my ebook easier. Why am I writing about ebook creation on my personal blog and not on my business blog? Because I think writing an ebook is a simple method anybody can use to make a little extra cash ... and frankly, cash is personal - it can change your life. So writing about ebook creation on my personal blog makes sense. Perhaps I'll write more about the business of making money with ...

Ebook Finished, Site Launched ...

By MICHAEL LOW Published: January 15, 2010 GOLD COAST, Australia, Jan. 15 -- First post here for 2010. Finished the ebook I've been talking about. Titled 'How to Write Articles People Want to Read ' . Took me 90 days to get the ebook written, website built, sales letter crafted, and the shopping cart hooked up to process orders. I could have done it faster. For instance, I wrote the ebook over a 5 week period but, it only took 7 days of actual writing -- that's because I wrote about a subject I know a heck of a lot about. The website took about 30-days because I decided to use CSS instead of straight html -- so I had to get my CSS skills up to speed, which took time. The reason I went with CSS is because it allows me to make site-wide changes without having to update every page. For shopping cart I went with clickbank -- which is not really a shopping cart but a payment gateway with affiliate program built in. Clickbank is essentially an affiliate directory or network a...
