Step Six: Editing and Formatting Your First Ebook

Your first draft of the ebook is ready. Now give yourself enough time to polish the product.

Turn on your editor and just go through the text. Make the paragraphs more readable. Short paragraphs with up to 5 sentences are easier to read. Choose the proper font and size.

You can do some research on that. Read your sentences and try to eliminate the fluff. Create the front page, table of contents. Add some quotations. Write a page about yourself.

Very important, do not forget the links. If you are creating your viral product you need a contact information and links to be active. That can be done in the resource page(s).

If you have 50 pages content in your first draft, after editing and formatting you'll and up with more than 100 pages nice looking e-book.

Now is the time to think about TITLE and the COVER. The title and the cover sell the book.

Go out into the bookstore and look on the titles and do your research on the current title and covers in your niche. Use Clickbank and Amazon web pages to collect some ideas, too.

Carefully select at least 2 titles and cover project you like and start working on yours, based on that.

You can launch a Google campaign in order to test your titles. It is a proven scientific method to get the best out of you. Once you get the results, create another title and run the test again.

This is a powerful strategy to use every time you need to improve your website or optimizing your products.

While the title is all in your hand you may need some help on the cover. You may use free software for that purpose. Anyway, a good looking 3-dimensional cover may need some investment. Make the cover simple and easy for eye scanning. Make your cover impressive.
