Consider what you are already good at, what you love doing, this may be something that is about your job or your hobby.
>One key is if you love and are passionate about the subject then the better the ebook will turn out.
When starting do some brainstorming to get ideas rolling for the subject you want to write about.
Once you have a topic you want to use for your ebook, then write or type out the ideas you have and keep them flowing. When your ideas are down you can weed out the good and bad ideas at a later time.
With your rough list completed NOW thin it down to 12 ideas or topics.
Step #2 – Subtopics
Since you now have 12 topics you have selected to use for your ebook. Take those 12 ideas and break them into chunks.
Take one of the 12 topics and list out four subtopics under that main topic. What happens now is that you have one topic with 4 subtopic points that are going to make up a chapter.
One Chapter will be like this.
Main Topic #1
- Subtopic #1 – Content
- Subtopic #2 – Content
- Subtopic #3 – Content
- Subtopic #4 – Content
Continue this process until you get all 12 main topics with 4 subtopics finished.
Now you have 12 topics X 4 which equals 48 pages and when you add in the introduction and conclusion pages you have a minimum of 50 pages.
Since the topics are now broken down into subtopics this section has been completed.
The next question is, “How can I turn the topics into a finished ebook in 10 days?”
Step #3 – Work on 5 Subtopics each Day until finished
By writing each day five subtopics you can complete the writing of an ebook in just 10 days.
Each day pick out five of the subtopics you would like to write about.
Important write 1 page of content per subtopic.
