Josh,
Absolutely great post. Am currently working on 2 ebooks now, but after reading this going back to beginning and making sure I’ve got content better organized and tip about adding summary at the end a good one.
Definitely a keeper article for anyone who planning on writing an ebook.
Thanks, Rick

This is a fantastic, comprehensive guide – thank you for taking the time to share your tips.

I was interested about choosing the title first as this is usually the last thing I do when writing a blog post. However I can see how choosing first helps to keep you focused.

I especially loved the idea of going that extra mile by annotating a simple google analytic and agree that readers love anecdotal stories. We love to hear about people, hence all the fly on the wall documentaries and it’s good to remember this when we write. Some of the most popular posts on my site have been about finding mouldy food in the back of my fridge; I guess *everyone* can relate!

Never write about something you don’t know about, as your lack of knowledge will become clear, and you’ll lose any authoritative status that you may have. You’re lucky to be ranking in Google for such terms, but I would personally recommend looking for someone else to write the content for you.

Another issue if my blog is attracting an old post regarding a subject which I know barely but constantly google is driving audience to my site. Does it mean I should write an ebook about this subject and if I’m not good at it does that mean I should not write about it?

Man this post is really nice about writing a nice detailed guide. It even helps your write blogs better 🙂 writing books can be a lot of fun.

I always write books as if what I would have liked to learn from someone else in the past. I think giving away your book for free can make you money as well.

It’s the trust you build with your visitor in the book that will make you even more money.

Most people think an ebook should be a whole lot of pages, but having a nice short ebook that gets to the point is better than an ebook that is just bubbling and boring you.

thanks

This is a fantastic piece; it is very educative and intellectually stimulating. I have learnt some new tricks, especially that aspect which talks of assignments. It is an eye-opener.

Thank you Josh. BTW, is Michael your brother? Birds of the same beautiful feathers!
