If you are like me, a book lover, you will always be waiting for something that impacts you even more, if it is in digital format. Nowadays, writing an ebook is simple and frequent; of course, when we talk about simplicity, we refer to the methods to do it, as for its content if it is a little more complicated due to the material you want to offer. A little order to all your ideas would be fantastic, so today I want to offer you these guidelines that will surely be very useful and will help you to materialize that desire you have to write. Take notes on each section below and fearlessly enter this world of digital books becoming more and more relevant in this technological age.
Think about your ideal client and how you can help them
To start, you should think about your readers and customers, which can help you connect with them. This idea will guide your content, and how you can express the ideas you have in mind. Have you ever wondered what catches your customers' attention? It is good to analyze in-depth their wishes, objectives, challenges, etc. With this information, it will be easier for you to develop a topic that they like and that will immediately connect with your content since you will be offering something with real value. If you take on the task of knowing them, you will not only be able to hook them to your topic, but you will somehow make them open to a new type of information that you want to offer.
Create an index of the points you are going to develop.
An index that has a complete structure and its numbered chapters will greatly help the reader know what kind of information he will consume and where he will find it immediately. I recommend that you choose an obvious phrase to create an index of the points that you are going to develop, and at the same time, you can maintain the desire in the client to continue reading the rest of the ebook. Can you imagine being looking for specific information? Click on the index, and it redirects you at once to the page where the topic is? Something fantastic and at the same time very practical. You achieve this by making an anchor between the index and the sections of the pages, but you must list from the cover, even if you don't show the number on some pages because they are special.
To make an ebook, write the content using easy-to-understand words.
This is important because when the reader cannot quickly understand what you want to express, they lose their attention and stop consuming the content you have developed. I know it's not what you're looking for. So, as you write, try to use easy to interpret words without leaving the formal, literary, technical, or any other language you are using. In this way, you can continue to maintain the reader's attention, and you can also keep order in your writing, which will generate comfort and confidence when reading.
Buy an editable template or design from scratch, and Canva is a free software for ebook creation.
That "a book should not be judged by its cover" is very true. However, design is something that never fails to attract attention in a book. And digital ones don't go unnoticed on this issue either. Therefore, you can buy an editable template or design from scratch originally and creatively to capture the attention of more readers. This nice and striking design should fit on the cover, and be sure to keep the thread on all the pages of the ebook in a subtle way. I assure you that with this, it will not only look nice and pleasant, but it will also give the reader a state of calm because you will feel a balance as you read.
Have a defined graphic identity (Photos, fonts, color palette)
The essence of digital is not only the text, do not limit your ebook to this; remember that it also has to be didactic. To provide dynamism, you have to have a defined graphic identity (Photos, fonts, color palettes). You can use the colors of your brand if you have one and thus go positioning it. The photos and images you decide to place should provide the reader with information about the topic or lead them to understand the content better. These types of images have to have the ability to get your attention but not to distract you or take you away from the subject. As for the typography, try to choose one that adapts to the screens and resolutions of the different electronic readers. Among the most used, I recommend the group of Serif or with serif and also Sans Serif or linear; these are easy to read. Although it is important to know that this typeface tends to be boring if your content is a novel typeface, it is best to find another one a little more practical.
Close your ebook with a call to action (Invite to follow on social networks, offer a promotion, contact you)
The end of an ebook is important. If you manage to capture your customers' attention to generate traffic on your website or social networks, that they read your articles, ask for more information about you, you will have achieved the icing on the cake. For this, you can choose to use short and correct sentences that catch the reader and lead him to act, perceive and think something in your favor. These phrases have to be aligned with the interest of your clients; they must be novel and generate curiosity. In addition, you can leave an invitation between the lines that lead directly to your websites or leave attractive promotions that quickly move the customer to contact you. They are tricks that will help you generate traffic, and believe me; they will work for you. Now that we've come to an end, are you ready to move forward and implement a growth plan for your business?
