Write Ebooks: How do you write an ebook quickly? (4 Methods)
Copyright (c) 2011 Jim Edwards
Everybody wants what they want… and they want it NOW. If you want to write an ebook, you don't want to take a year to do it. A week would be nice -- and a day or two would be even better (thank you very much)!
So if you want to write an ebook FAST, you need to understand a key point: you must think in terms of "creating" an ebook VS "writing" an ebook. If you haven't done it before (or even if you have), writing a "book" is a big, scary task that smacks of pain, suffering, and a lot of WORK!
But, when you think in terms of "creating" an ebook, it opens up a LOT of different avenues for you in your own mind.
The following 4 (four) methods are PROVEN to help you create original ebook content FAST. Choose the one that's right for you.
Write as much as you can in 15-20 minute spurts. Even just 1 session a day will help you write your own, original ebook faster than by virtually any other method.
Make an outline of the points you want to cover. Do an hour-long teleseminar or webinar for a group of friends or business associates, record it, and have it transcribed. Use the transcription as your ebook.
Gather up the 15 or 20 most important questions your target audience is asking and answer them in an interview style format. Record the interview and have it transcribed.
Take those same 15-20 questions and, instead of recording audio, just answer 1 per day (M-F) for about 15-20 minutes in your word processor.
Note about transcriptions: idictate(dot)com is a great way to get transcriptions done without hiring someone or signing contracts, but it's not the cheapest (but it is the easiest).
BIG SECRET TO SUCCESS: No matter which method you choose, the key is to do a little each day and build momentum, rather than trying to climb the mountain all at once. If you haven't done it before (or even if you have), writing a "book" is a big, scary task that smacks of pain, suffering, and a lot of WORK! But sitting down and writing a little bit each day is MUCH easier. Also, when you do it this way, your mind has plenty of time to think and plan when you're not writing. So when you do sit down to write, your words and thoughts will flow much easier because your brain had time to put thoughts in order before writing.
Finally, doing a little bit each day will also help you build up your writing "muscle" -- just like walking every day builds up your legs. Even after just a single week of doing it every day (writing or walking) you'll find it much easier to get started and go longer and stronger as your confidence and competence soars.
Doing a little bit each day rather than trying to do it all at once is probably the most important and useful tip I could share with you if you're serious about writing your own good, original ebooks quickly!
