eBook question

13 years ago

If I understand you correctly I would say both. You want your ebook to link back to your website and you want your website to promote your ebook. The only question is what is your goal? Make a sale from your site? Build your list?

Thanks

Does the site have any other content other than just to promote the book?

What works well:

1) People want to download and go, today. For example, they want to use their cell phone or other handheld gadget to your your ebook. So make sure the ebook has what they need inside it. I.E. it's not always possible to hook up to a website for more instruction, so you won't want ot upset them and not deliver the content to them.

2) Teach what works. #2 doesn't sound like it's proven, just instructions To Do stuff. #1 shows, not tells. It walks the talk. But convert the info into an ebook format (see my #1 above).

Hope that helps!

In my opinion, you want to stay conversational. Simply listing the steps is going to result in a lot of bored readers.

However, your snippet (than we open up text editor and write this code) is rather condescending. Don't use the word "we." You can use "you" or "I," but "we" makes you sound like the creepy guy in Silence of the Lambs.

I recommend you pretend you're writing an email to a friend, and not just any friend, a specific friend. If you were going to explain your methods to your friend, how would you say it?

Thanks

Different people will like each one.

cindybidar likes the conversational one. I like the
second one where you are more formal and listing
the steps.

I am not saying I am right and that it is the better
method. It's just the one that I prefer.

I prefer it because for me it is easier to find the
relevant information.

Unfortunately, I do not know if people in general
which people would prefer.

If you want to satisfy both preferences then include
both. Write in detail using a conversational form
and then have a summary using the more formal step
form.

Then I'd suggest writing your ebook to the best of your ability, then finding a ghostwriter whose style you like to clean it up for you. It will cost you a lot less than paying someone to write it for you from scratch, because you'll have done all the research.

And Muhammad Hassan is correct of course. Your market may very well prefer the step-by-step style over a more conversational one. I'd take a look at other books in your niche and see how they are written.

I have read this post three times and still have no clue what you are asking

But, I will vote the bla bla method, just because it sounds fun.
