Have you ever considered writing an eBook to help your small business? Well, consider that many books on small business success recommend positioning yourself as an expert in the field and further state that if you’ve written a book, it not only looks good on your resume, but it could also seal the deal for you when your client or client sees the book.
In fact, in the book “Get Published! Professionally, Affordably, Fast” by Susan Driscoll and Diane Gedymin, they mention that power of authorship in business. In fact, I wish I had read a book like this before I retired. Well I can tell you this, writing an eBook is much easier than publishing your book, or even publishing it yourself.
For example, last year I wrote 10 e-books on various topics and put them on the Internet. Every week I receive emails from all over the world from other people wanting to discuss these issues and topics. Now you are probably wondering how you can write an ebook or two that will help you in your business. Well, it’s not that difficult. What you have to do is;
- write a table of contents
- Write a paragraph in each of the headings and subheadings
- Make a 5-bullet list under each introductory paragraph of what you want to discuss
- Get yourself a good speech recognition program
Then just start looking at each of the bulleted list items for each heading and subheading. Once you’re done, start editing your work. Insert some images, graphics. Then leave it for a day or two and think and set aside some time to go through it all and add anything you thought of and then do some final editing work. Now that you have an eBook, then convert it to a .pdf file and publish it on your website. You just upgraded your status to authorship. It is easy.
