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 ebooks in the future. But for now, I'm just going to write about the experience of writing a new ebook for which I haven't even decided upon a topic yet.
In other words, you're going to get the whole story, from start to finish. The brainstorming for ideas. The crafting of the idea into a decent title. The breaking down of the title into a chapter titles. The writing of each chapter, the publishing and finally the selling of the ebook.
I may even write about my experience getting traffic to the blog or website that will act as my online book store.
And who knows, I may even take it a step further and promote the ebook through affiliates. I have no affiliates yet as I don't even have a topic. But if I go down the affiliate path, I'll write about choosing affiliate software, finding and motivating affiliates, plus how to create all the affiliate tools to help them sell my ebook.
Wouldn't it be cool if I could not only write a decent ebook in 5 days but also show you how to add another income stream to your life? An income stream which you could build until it pays for your house, your car, your food and everything!
Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. But this is where great ideas start - just talking about what is possible tends to make it more likely the once seemingly impossible will come to pass.
Anyway, this is just a post to announce what I'm doing: Writing an ebook in 5 days. If it turns into something bigger then so be it. But enough chatter. I've got work to do. Starting with a little research to help me choose my ebook title.

Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteUnlike many of the other blogs, yours looks geniuine and what you talk makes sense as well.
I am trying to find some way to get some extra income and ebook sounds like a good option. But I do not have any particular expertise though. Come to think of it, I like jokes/humour and have a small collection of them, perhaps I could start here. Secondly I do not know how to market the stuff. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for me. Thank you and Good luck in your efforts.
