Article is one of a series of articles which focus on Article Marketing, Affiliate Marketing and Internet Marketing. All of the articles are based on true experiences and research done over twenty years as a personal and business coach. They are also written in response to questions which I have been asked as well as address common challenges that people have with affiliate marketing, article marketing, and internet marketing or running an online business in general. I sincerely hope that you find the following information of value. One idea, one tip, one clue can make all the difference.



You are sitting there in front of a blank screen or blank sheet of paper. Your stomach starts tightening as the big bad monster of the blank page stares right back at you muttering "C'mon then start writing". Experienced it? I certainly have. We all know that oftentimes the hardest part of writing is that first sentence. So what do we do?

When I have experienced this awful situation in the past, it eventually dawned on me that I was focusing on the whole project and letting my mind cast doubts of being able to start the Ebook, never mind complete it.

Have I got that right? I hope so. There is only way to manage the whole project and that is to break it down into manageable chunks, steps if you will. Now, we are ready to start, step by step.

I don't know about you but I totally hate it if I am disrupted while in full writing flow. I hate it even more if I am the cause of that disruption.

One very essential step I learned from other writers is to get myself organized before starting the project in hand. This may include all the previous notes I have made, maybe guidelines for chapters. Perhaps I have had to conduct some research to validate points I wish to make.

O.K. Writing Ebooks, let’s Start At the Beginning

First, think about your Ebook's working title. By noting down a few different titles, you’ll soon discover that some appeal more than others. There may be one that completely stands out. However, I use the term "working" title since it should not be fixed at this time and please, don't get bogged down before you even start because you cannot decide on the title. Let the other steps we'll look at guide you, let your actual writing guide you. I can go back and change working titles a number of times throughout the writing process. Why?

Perhaps I wish to make it more compelling, more intriguing. Perhaps the title is too passive and I need to make it more active.

We shall discuss publishing a little later. Let me say, however, your title will determine whether your Ebook is read or not. Make it as clear as possible. One tip, if you feel that the title is too long and the clarity is being lost, doesn’t be afraid to use subtitles. Careful combination of the two can be more compelling in attracting your readers to want to find out more.

Next Step in writing eBooks – Your Summary

this summary does not have to be over-long. Just a few sentences that describe exactly the challenge or problem your reader could face and how you’re Ebook will help to deal with it.

As with the title, you may rework this. But again, as with the title, don’t allow yourself to get bogged down. If this summary will keep you focused throughout the writing process and ensure that all the Ebook’s content relates directly to this summary, then you have cracked it.
