Hope this helps you

I hope you are an expert on the topic- here are my steps for you!

I think logically you should

• list the topics, chapters you want to write about
• write about each one, just keep writing without editing, without stopping (with regular breaks)
• then edit each page for spelling, grammar etc, and go over it.
• Read it the next day with fresh eyes, and give it to a friend to proofread.

Hope that helps

I suggest this process, it works very well for me:

Start by creating a Word template for your book, with Heading 1, 2 and 3 plus normal text styles preconfigured as well as a table of contents that auto updates based on your headings and a cover page.

Start researching your topic. You will often want to come back to resources over and over so either bookmark quality sites or use a product like Evernote to save out good information.

As you research your topic, start blocking out your book structure as the key topics become apparent. Apply your Heading styles as you go so your book takes shape.

NOTE: If your topic is particularly complex you may want to use a mind mapping program to plan out the structure first.

As you create sections and subsections, take notes directly into your ebook document regarding what each section will cover.

When you have completed your research and gathered up all the best information, start from the beginning of the book and write section by section, using the notes you took as your cue on what to cover.

Don't re-read your first draft too much and fuss excessively. In your first draft you should just let your thoughts flow onto the page without putting on the "brakes". If you try to re-read and edit too much in your first draft your writing will seem jerky.

When you have finished your first draft, go back to the beginning and start proofing and editing. Your goal with the second sweep is to smooth out the cohesiveness of the entire book and make sure you are building an atmosphere that starts from the beginning and keeps the reader hooked in right to the end.

Do a second proofing sweep, looking for any pesky typos and places where you can improve sentence flow.

Then, and this is crucial, give the book to a second person to proof. I guarantee you that no matter how many times you proof something yourself a second person will always find something you missed. It's like your mind gets used to reading a book and seeing something a certain way. You need to have a second person check your work for typos.

Also, you may think something you have written is crystal clear, but it may still have room for improvement. If a second person has to ask what you mean at any point, you know you need to clarify further.

Once the second person has proofed and edited, read the book one more time to check for any lingering typos. Chances are low there will be any problems at this time, but this final proof makes completely sure.

Update your table of contents so the page numbers are all accurate, add your cover design to the front page, and save the document out as a PDF. You can do this with a MS exporter plugin.

Check your PDF just to make sure everything is A-Okay, and that's it, you're all done!

I hope that helps, and good luck with your book.

there is an excellent guide out there about writing an ebook and making it sell... google "make your words sell" and it will take u to a site that has a free ebook. The guide is like 200 pages long but it gives you good insight about what to sayand not to say..

^^^ yeap... thats one hell of a guide.. I doubt many people will actually go through the whole thing but is well worth the time, especially for someone who wants to enter the ebook biz

I'd say start by doing some market research. Who is your market? Who is going to buy this ebook?

Then start by researching your market...check out the forums these people live in on the Internet..what types of questions are they asking? you will find that there are 10-20 top questions that are asked all of the time F.A.Q's.....group similiar questions together, then answer the questions. .. . this can help guide your chapters.

Just do it..someone really smart thought of this saying..just get it done.Worry about making it perfect later.

Write your sales letter first. Write it to describe the best possible piece of work you can put together. Features, benefits, bonus stuff, the works. You don't have to be a good copywriter to do this. Just let it all out the best you can. When you have that done you're left with an excellent outline for your ebook. From there just create a book that lives up to the letter you've written. Good luck!
