Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, you will learn a step by step way to create an ebook that will generate at least N50k in the next 30 days or less on Facebook and Whatsap
Step 1
Choose a best selling title through market research
- How to choose a topic
1️⃣ Choose a general topic.
What is the general topic that covers what you want to write about
E. G of general topics
Cooking
Digital marketing
Writing
Making money online etc
Write down your general topic
You must understand that your topic is the first impression you create in people's heart about your book.
Once you create a dull, boring or wrong impression about your book, you'll definitely loose the chance of people clicking your book or even making the decision of purchase.
Note the above fact.
Titling your book is not like giving titles to sermons
You need to understand the strategies behind it so as to get it right once and for all.
2️⃣ Be experienced not necessarily an expert
Your topic should be something you have an interest in, you don't need to be an expert but you need a bit of an experience,
Something you know more than the average person out there
3️⃣ Carry out diligent research
Read books
There is one book I would like to give you after going through this article that will show you book titles that sell
Infact the book titles contained in this article have generated $100,000 000 in book sales
Find out a particular pressing problem that people are looking for solutions to
-key word research pro to find out pain points
-Google
-Answer the public
-Quora
-Facebook groups
-Answer the public etc
Find the solution and write it down
The next process after choosing a general topic is to NARROW DOWN
So if you choose a generalized topic like Digital Marketing…
The question is…what are the problems people face with digital marketing that you can solve
How to narrow down
Know your audience
In terms of their demographics
-Age
-Sex
-Gender
-Location
-Interests
-Desires
-Problems
-Where they congregate online(Facebook groups, Instagram and influencers they follow etc)
Know the solution you are bringing to the table
Be specific with what your book will do for your reader in the title
What's going to be their outcome after purchasing your product
How will your reader's benefit from your book, narrow down the outcome of purchasing and using the information in your book
HOW TO CHOOSE A TITLE
The only goal the title aims to do is to make the viewers stop what they're doing and click to learn more. The title also aims to register itself in people's heart, that's if the book was impactful.
In choosing a title, it must meet the following criteria
1. Grab attention
2. Explain the outcome/result
3. Define the audience
Grabbing attention.
From the word grab, you should know it's not a negotiable attempt. It's a forceful action you place in the mind of your reader with words. Yes! Words are powerful indeed and could make a person glued to you.
Your title could be direct, sneaky, controversial or funny. E.g Operation Suck Money(the weirdest name I've ever heard😂)
Note that your title must not and shouldn't be boring. I'm sure when you gain attention you wouldn't want to loose it.
Explaining the Outcome
I have said this severally, your book should be clear on the solution you are offering. This is why you have the opportunity of giving your book a title and a subtitle.
Note: the first person to explain the outcome to is yourself
Use this formula
My book will help (target audience) to get (the outcome)
You can rephrase it your own way.
The following phrases should help you come up with title for your book.
How to( outcome)
Step by step guide that( outcome)
Secrets for (outcome)
Learn how to (outcome)
Easy tips on ( outcome)
Step 2
Go to Amazon or any other book store or library where you can find books on the topic you chose
Also check out pdfdrive.com to download books on the topic you chose
Read at least 4 hot selling books on the topic and take notes of interesting ideas and actionable plans
What you are doing here is preparing your mind
Listen to people, read blogs and opinions on platforms like Facebook groups, Quora, Reddit etc
Step 3
Arrange the notes you took in a logical manner and add your own ideas and personal experiences to it and write your report
Come up with your table of contents
Start writing a little at least a page
write the first draft and don't do anything about it
Step 4
Arrange the ideas into a logical way that one idea leads to another
Step 5
Type in Microsoft Word or any app you use like Google docs
Get a graphic designer to do book cover and mock ups
You can also do it on your own by going to canva website and using the templates there
Step 6
Upload your book on Amazon Kindle, kobo course, Jv marketplace etc for sale
Step 7
Adverise your book
Ad book cover to the file and covert to pdf
