An Ebook is an electronic compilation of well-arranged and seasoned knowledge written with the aim of providing a solution to a specific Problem
BASICS THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT AN EBOOK THAT MAKES IT AN EBOOK
1. IT IS A COMPILATION
it is a collection of knowledge, the knowhow relevant to a particular event. By this, it means its content are gathered from different sources, put together with a purpose.
2. ITS KNOWLEDGE IS WELL-ARRANGED
have you ever picked up a material to read and its content are so scattered, do you feel comfortable reading it? Obviously No!
To be qualified to be a book, it must be well arranged, structured and patterned. Yes in chapters, in units, in sections or modules.
3. ITS KNOWLEDGE IS SEASONED
It is not a compilation of wrong, incorrect, or untrue postulations. It is a collection of well seasoned, authentic information. Anything that lacks this quality isn't a book.
4. IT SOLVES A PROBLEM
The Aim of Writing isn't for the feeling that you have authored a book. Or neither is it for your CV. Far be it from that! A book is written to solve a problem, a pain point or meet need. Authors write to meet a need.
5. IT IS AN ELECTRONIC FORMAT:
It must be in electronic format to be an eBook: PDF, doc, docx, epub etc. Most ebooks are pdfs.
WHAT IS AN EBOOK?
*WHY SHOULD YOU WRITE AN EBOOK?*
1. It establishes you as an expert
Imagine selling cloths as your main business and you have an ebook on how to dress well which you give to your clients as free bonus... They will uphold you as a fashion expert rather than someone who is trying to make endsmeet.
2. Write once and earn forever
I have sold out over 300copies of my scholarship guide. Just by sharing the file happily... I have made over 1000 times the cost of its production.
3. You reach many people quickly because of the speed of delivery.
With just a click, your buyer has received that book, no cost of delivery.
4. Build your audience/list
You can give out your eBook to get people on your email list. Or your contact list.
5. It's cost effective
I spent about 3000naira to produce my first book
