Onward
and Upward!
First, I want to thank everyone for
the overwhelming support I’ve received for my husband. His
surgery has been postponed and is now scheduled for late in May.
Secondly, as many of you know, I’m not very technical, but I
finally got my very own cell phone with Bluetooth! I’ve avoided
it like the plague until now. But with my husband going through all
this, we wanted to be able to reach each other at a moment’s
notice. But I do find it frustrating at time!
I still haven’t figured out how to program the phone numbers into
it. And I have to remember to charge it every night. But
it’s much cooler than the old clunky one we used to share!
On the business side, there is a new toll-free phone number for The
eBook Coach! The new number is 1-888-553-3836.
I’ve partnered with a terrific web person, Tanya, and we’re
cooking up some great stuff for you! Our first project is a free
10-minute video on ebook formatting with Armand Morin and you can check
it out at: http://tinyurl.com/ebgenerator
(We have more in the works!)
Also, the “How To Turn Articles Into An Outrageously Profitable
eBook In 30 Days Or Less” Workshop is going great guns! And the
homestudy version will be available at the end of May. So if you
want your own copy, you can check it out at www.turnarticlesintoebooks.com/homestudy.html.

7
Ways To Find Super Hot Topics For Your eBook!
-
Message Boards - Message
boards
can give you some great ideas for ebooks. Follow the discussions and
see what people are interested in and want to know more about. Then
cross check your topics with the Google Keyword Tool and you might hit
paydirt!
-
Email Discussion Groups
–
Listen in on discussions and once you feel comfortable, get into the
dialogue yourself. You’ll gain a lot of valuable information
about what people are looking for. You could also make some great
business contacts. . You can find email discussion groups on
practically every subject in Yahoo.
-
Internet News Sites –
At
Internet news sites, you can learn about new developments, ideas, and
technology that can impact your business. And, you can share with your
subscribers. . Plus, you might even find a topic there too!.
-
Subscribe to Ezines –
Not
any ezines, but ezines by the most successful people in your niche. If
you see that they are discussing certain topics on a regular basis,
follow their lead and chances are it’s hot and would make a good
ebook topic!
-
Read Articles - By reading
articles, you might come up with an idea you hadn’t thought of or
maybe find a different angle on an old idea. But never copy information
or content.
-
Read Your Email - Take notes
on
the questions people ask and the concerns they have. Then use
them to create a powerful ebook.
-
Pick a Topic YOU Want or Need
To
Learn About- do the research and turn it into an ebook-that’s
what I got to do when writing Sell More eBooks
(www.sellmoreebooks.com). I had only been on line for about a year at
the time, and didn’t know that much about ebook marketing. But I
got a crash course writing the ebook! And I got paid to learn!
Always keep an
open
mind and eye out for ebook ideas. The more open you are, the more ideas
will come to you! After awhile you will begin to see great ideas
everywhere!

Reader's Q&A
|
Q. The toughest part of writing an
ebook seems to be organizing my thoughts to convert them to
content. What is the best way to organize my ebook?
A. The key to writing a really good ebook is to organize
your
thoughts BEFORE you actually start writing it. You can
start by brainstorming and listing all your ideas, sort them into
topics, which will become your chapters, and then into sub-topics for
each chapter.
You also need to determine what
kind of ebook you are writing.
For example a how-to ebook would be organized in step-by-step chapters,
while a tips or strategies type ebook might be better organized into
sections that logically go together.
You can find a great resource for ebook organization here: www.theebookcoach.com/ebookjournal

Visual Thesaurus - I don't know about you, but for me, thesauruses
seldom give me the exact word I'm looking for. VisualThesaurus.com,
however, is a graphical tool that's a lot like Google's Wonder Wheel.
You can chase strings of words and relationships. The paid version is
only $20 peryear - CHEAP. www.VisualThesaurus.com
