»How to write an ebook?
There is some important point that you need to remember before started writing an ebook. Follow the point below...
1.»Do Keywords Research
To write an ebook it's very important to do keyword research. Because without keyword research it'll be very difficult to choose a great topic and write an ebook about that topic.
And most importantly keywords research will help you to know approximately how many people searching about a particular topic. That's why you'll know the potential market for that topic and if you write an ebook around that subject how many customers you can get who will be interested in your eBook.

And if you already had an audience base then know from them what type of eBook they want to buy from you. Or ask yourself what questions do you answer repeatedly on your website to your audience.

What problems do your customers or blog readers face that don’t have a clear solution on the Google search?
Either analyze the data that you already have on your website or you collected from somewhere. You can survey your website by asking your audience what they want or what kind of problem they're facing and don't find a solution yet. By analyzing all those data you can find what topic you should pick to write an eBook.
While seeing these patterns by analyzing those data may tempt you to answer all those questions quickly. But it's a business for you and that's why instead of answering all of these questions you'll write your eBook based on those questions. Just focus on just one specific question or topic at a time.

»4. Must Include An Introduction and A Conclusion
Most of the publishers take their ebooks introduction and conclusion lightly, make sure you don't take that lightly. Sometimes people only read the introduction and the conclusion of ebooks or books in general.
It might seem strange or even frustrating for some people to write your introduction and conclusion of ebooks but those have their 9wn advantage.
The introduction creates an urge in people to read further after reading one chapter and another. And they started reading continue the eBook to have their questions answered.

»6. Format and design
Once you the writing and editing of the body of your ebook then you're ready to go, it’s time to format and design your ebook to create an optimal reading experience for your customer who will buy your eBook.
How you format your book will depend on the file format you use for your ebook.
Most of this information that I am providing to you can be used for all kinds of ebook formats, but specifically, I am writing this has PDF ebooks in mind. Formatting for Kindle is a little bit different.
So make sure you read Amazon’s ebook resources guidelines, which they use to change their guideline. You can use this link to read the Amazon Kindle guide.
Now the format and design you should use... according to me......
Leave a lot of white space on the ebook writing page. Give your pages wide margins, large font size, and plenty of space between lines and paragraphs when you write your ebook.
Each of these components will give your customer clear visibility of your ebook without having to strain their eyes and make it easy for them to consume the content.
Now include a header and footer on that page. And don’t be afraid to put other helpful components of your ebook on the page like the title of the ebook, or a link to your website where they can go and verify authenticity.
Remember it will be good to create a table of contents for easy navigation, a copyright page, and an “About the Author” page on your ebook. The author page will tell your readers the name of the writer of this ebook and who you are and your profession.
While editing check pictures and graphics again and again. If you included pictures and graphics in your ebook and in my view that needed for a good quality eBook.
But make sure not to include any copyrighted images and graphics. Finally, check that you correctly positioned and proportioned all images and graphics on your ebook.
When formatting your ebook focus on the inside of your ebook primarily, and when you design your ebook focus on the outside of your ebook. It doesn't matter how you published your book. Your potential customers will see the book cover as a gateway to the content inside the cover.
If you published your ebook with an unprofessional cover design photo, it can cause you high and your potential customers may think your content unprofessional or not worth reading just because of the cover design.
Many people find designing a cover photo difficult and if you also find it difficult to design a good cover photo you can hire a professional for you to design that cover photo.
