How to Write a Brand New Ebook, Quickly and Easily

By Sean Mize **

Perhaps you have written several ebooks, and are thinking about writing another, but are hesitating because you remember the time it took to write the first one. Or maybe you have never written an ebook because you feel overwhelmed by the task. You think it would takes months or years, and you simply aren't sure where to begin.

Regardless of the category you fall into, I challenge you to try this method. It will quickly and easily produce for you a quality product in an amazingly short period of time.

Follow these steps:
  1. Decide on your topic. If you already know, skip this step. If not, write down a list of all the things you know enough about to teach someone else, and that you have the willingness to learn some more about. Take that list to a keyword inventory tool like the one Overture uses, and find out which of your topics gets a high number of keyword searches online. Narrow this list down to about two or three possible topics that get a lot of searches. Next, search for forums online that are related to these topics and spend some time reading the posts. You should very quickly be able to discern where the most interest lies. Then, make a decision! You can always write the other ebook later! Indecision is one of the great limiting factors online.
  2. Write a list of twenty topics that are related to your main topic. These will be your chapters.
  3. Write a list of 10 ideas related to each of your topics (so you will have a total of 200 ideas, 10 for each topic).
  4. Begin writing. Simply write 1-3 paragraphs about each of the ideas you listed in step 3.
  5. When you are finished writing on each of these topics, organize them and make sure that they flow naturally from one idea to another.
  6. Write an introductory chapter, briefly touching on some of the main topics about which you have already written.
  7. Write a closing chapter, giving your readers reminders about the practical things you have taught that they can go out and apply in their own lives.
  8. Proof read your ebook. Have at least 2 other people read it, and take their suggestions seriously enough to read over what they question, but not seriously enough to rewrite significant portions of the book. There has to be balance here. You see, you want a readable, easy to understand book with no grammar and spelling errors, but if you try to make the book all things to all people, you will never publish it.
  9. Go to adobe's web site and upload it to a PDF for free. They give you 5 free trial conversions, so take advantage of the service.
Now you have your first (or next) ebook!

** Sean Mize is a successful offline and online entrepreneur and marketer, and has written extensively on the topic of online business creation and success.

How to Write Your First Ebook

by: Terri Seymour
 
One of the best ways to build your online income is by writing & distributing ebooks. Ebooks can be a very effective tool for marketing your business and they can also be big money makers. Ebooks are also a useful resource for whatever information you are looking for.
 
There are a few things you should remember if you are going to write an ebook.
  1. Just as your ezine should not be a giant ad, nor should your ebook. Be sure to fill it full of useful and valuable information.
  2. Your ebook should be compiled in a simple, yet professional design. Make your ebook look good, but do not overdo. Make sure  people can maneuver around the book with ease.
  3. Take the time to do the research and write an effective and informative ebook. Your ebook will be circulating around the web and will say a great deal about you and your business.
  4. Ebooks are a great giveaway for your visitors and/or subscribers. Everyone is looking for useful information which can be found in ebooks.
  5. You might want to use your first ebook as a giveaway. This will entice more people to read your ebook, which in turn will get more people to see how good it is. When you do write your first ebook to sell, you will have already established your reputation for writing a useful and informative ebook.
  6. You do not have to be a writer to write an ebook. Just as with articles, all you need to do is gather, organize and outline your information. Always add resources and links when applicable. A good ebook for giveaway can be as simple as a collection of your articles or the articles of other authors.
  7. You do not need any expensive software to make your ebook. Simply write your ebook in Word or similar program and then convert the file to pdf. PDF can be read on all computers as opposed to exe.
  8. After you finish your ebook, you want to start promoting it. Add it to your website, put it in your email sigtag, submit it to as many websites and directories that you can find, add it to your article resource box, announce it on message boards and email discussion lists where allowed, make a separate web page for it and submit the page to search engines, add it to your ezine welcome letter as a free bonus. The possibilities are endless if you use your imagination and let as many people know about your ebook as possible. Be sure to encourage people to also give it to their subscribers/visitors as a free gift.
  9. Make sure you have contact links listed in your ebook so people can easily contact you or visit your website. Also, be sure to have your ezine and subscribe address listed.
  10. Everyone can find ebooks useful not only for finding the information they seek, but for promoting their business and website as well as establishing a solid reputation. They are also big moneymakers and just about anyone can write and profit from a carefully and effectively done ebook.
Make it fun, interesting and believe in yourself and you will produce a very successful ebook!

Aneka Format Buku Elektronik

Format buku elektronik atau e-book secara umum terpilah menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu format yang bisa dibaca oleh lebih dari satu aplikasi dan format yang hanya bisa dibaca oleh aplikasi dari vendor tertentu. Contoh format e-book yang bisa dibaca oleh lebih dari satu aplikasi adalah Plain Text, HTML, dan PDF. Sedangkan format yang hanya bisa oleh aplikasi dari vendor tertentu, misalnya DOC (Microsoft Word Document), Rich Text Format (RTF), Microsoft Reader (LIT), dan format Palm.
 
Plain Text
 
Plain Text adalah format yang paling universal buat dokumen di dunia komputer. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah usianya yang sudah sangat purba (purba bagi pemakai komputer). Format Plain Text sudah dikenal sejak tiga puluh tahun yang lalu, dan merupakan format baku e-mail. Karena sudah dikenal luas, peranti lunak yang dapat membaca e-book dalam format ini sangat banyak. Saat ini, format Plain Text dapat dibaca oleh semua browser, pembaca e-mail, serta hampir semua aplikasi pengolah kata.
 
Walaupun universal, format Plain Text punya banyak kelemahan. Buku yang menggunakan format ini mampu menampilkan semua huruf dalam abjad Latin dan tanda-tanda baca, tetapi tidak mampu menampilkan cetak tebal, miring dan garis bawah. Plain Text juga tidak bisa menampilkan ukuran huruf ataupun font yang berbeda-beda dalam satu dokumen. Pengarang buku juga tidak bisa
menyisipkan gambar dalam buku elektronik yang dibuat dalam format ini. Tidak ada juga fasilitas enkripsi sehingga buku dalam format ini dapat dengan mudah disalin dan digandakan. Kelemahan terakhir ini sebenarnya lebih menjadi perhatian bagi penjual e-book yang ingin membatasi peredaran bukunya. Ketiadaan enkripsi tidak menghalangi format ini menjadi pilihan buat para pengedar buku elektronik gratis.
 
HTML
 
Dibandingkan Plain Text, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) masih sangat muda, walaupun tidak semuda umur format e-book lainnya. Kedua format ini sangat besar peranannya dalam Internet. Bila Plain Text umum digunakan pada e-mail, HTML adalah salah satu pondasi teknologi World Wide Web (WWW) atau yang lebih akrab disingkat menjadi web saja.
 
HTML mampu menampilkan teks dalam bentuk yang lebih beraneka. Teks tidak hanya muncul dalam satu jenis dan warna monoton, tetapi juga dalam berbagai ukuran dan jenis font. HTML juga dapat membedakan tampilan judul dengan isi, dan bisa
menampilkan cetak tebal, cetak miring dan garis bawah. Teks bisa digabung tidak hanya dengan gambar diam, tapi juga video dan audio. Dokumen HTML juga dapat merujuk pada dokumen HTML lain—kemampuan ini dinamakan hypertext. Karena kemampuannya ini, HTML menjadi pilihan untuk dokumen online. Spesifikasinya yang terbuka mempercepat proses adopsiHTML.
 
Walaupun HTML sudah sangat universal dan lebih cocok digunakan untuk buku elektronik, tidak ada penjual buku komersial yang mengadopsi format ini. HTML tidak mendukung pengamanan hak cipta ataupun enkripsi. Penggunaan HTML sebagai e-book masih terbatas pada buku-buku elektronik gratis. E-book HTML dapat dibaca menggunakan browser. Aplikasi e-mail umumnya juga bisa membuka dokumen ini, begitu juga aplikasi pengolah kata, seperti Microsoft Word.
 
PDF
 
PDF (Portable Document Format) merupakan jawaban bagi orang-orang yang menginginkan dokumen hasil kerjanya dapat dibaca tanpa perubahan tata letak. PDF cukup universal, walaupun pemakaiannya tidak seluas Plain Text ataupun HTML. Adobe Inc, perusahaan yang menciptakan PDF, menyediakan peranti lunak pembaca dokumen PDF secara gratis. Peranti lunak yang diberi nama Adobe Reader ini tersedia untuk berbagai sistem operasi, baik untuk komputer,PDA, maupun ponsel seperti seri Nokia Communicator. Peranti lunak lain yang dapat membaca dokumen PDF juga tersedia, seperti GSView untuk Windows dan Linux/Unix.
 
Karena dukungannya terhadap pengamanan hak cipta beberapa penjual e-book menerbitkan buku dalam format ini. Namun penggunaan PDF tidak hanya terbatas pada buku komersial saja. Cukup banyak buku gratis yang tersedia dalam format PDF.
 
DOC dan RTF
 
Aplikasi pengolah kata Microsoft Word sangat populer dan tersebar luas. Karena itu banyak kalangan saling bertukar informasi melalui dokumen dalam format DOC yang digunakan pengolah kata ini. Tak heran bila terkadang kita menjumpai buku elektronik yang menggunakan format DOC. Apalagi format ini tidak hanya bisa dibaca Microsoft Windows, tetapi juga peranti lunak pengolah kata lainnya seperti Corel Word Perfect, Sun Star Office, OpenOffice.org.
 
Meskipun ada yang cukup baik, dukungan format DOC dari peranti lunak non-Microsoft Word terkadang mengecewakan. Beda halnya dengan Rich Text Format (RTF). Rich Text Format dapat mendukung semua fitur DOC dengan cukup baik, dan dukungan aplikasi pengolah kata terhadap format RTF jauh lebih baik dibandingkan DOC. Penggunaan dokumen RTF lebih menjamin buku elektronik yang menggunakan format ini dapat dibaca di mana saja.
 
Buku elektronik komersial tidak menggunakan baik format DOC maupun RTF, karena keduanya tidak mendukung pengamanan hak cipta. Kedua format dokumen ini memang tidak dirancang untuk buku elektronik, tapi untuk pengolah kata.
 
Microsoft Reader (LIT)
 
Microsoft memperkenalkan format khusus untuk buku elektronik. Format ini hanya dapat dibaca oleh peranti lunak Microsoft Reader. Dokumen dengan format ini biasanya berekstensi LIT. Microsoft Reader tersedia untuk komputer dan PocketPC. Format ini seperti HTML mendukung cetak miring, cetak tebal dan garis bawah. Karena hanya dapat dibaca oleh Microsoft Reader, kita akan membahas lebih jauh format ini pada bagian berikutnya tentang apikasi pembaca e-book.
 
Palm (pdb, prc, doc)
 
Pembuat PDA terkemuka Palm memiliki format tersendiri untuk buku elektronik yang digunakan pada komputer genggam yang menggunakan sistem operasi PalmOS. Palm juga menyediakan peranti lunak untuk Windows dan Macintosh, sehingga buku dalam format tersebut dapat dibaca di komputer desktop ataupun note-book. Format mendukung teks dengan tampilan khusus (cetak miring, tebal, garis bawah).
 

Sebetulnya masih banyak format ebook lain yang beredar. Namun yang saya tuliskan di atas rasanya sudah cukup mewakili sebagian besar format ebook yang beredar di inernet.
