Why are ebooks so popular? Internet users have a sincere desire to learn and want the information right now.
They don't want to wait a week or two for the information to arrive. Ebooks provide your potential customers with instant gratification. As soon as they pay for their order, they can have immediate access to the information they desire.
The first step in creating your product is to decide upon a subject. Select a subject in which you have a great deal of knowledge.
The knowledge you have within your own mind is extremely valuable. Simply write about what you know and teach others how to do the same thing. It's that simple.
Creating an Outline
The easiest way to begin writing is to create an outline. Begin your outline with an opening statement or Introduction followed by a Foreword. Your opening statement might tell your readers a little bit about what they are going to learn or may be a statement in regard to the subject matter.
Your Foreword might include information in regard to who you are, your credentials, copyrights, and what you want your readers to learn.
Your next step will be to either create a Table of Contents or go directly into creating your Chapter Titles. If you're writing your information in the form of a how-to manual, you may want to use a Table of Contents. This will enable your readers to quickly locate important information.
If you're writing your information in the form of a book, then you can leave out the Table of Contents and simply use Chapter Titles.
Whether you're using a Table of Contents or Chapter Titles, write your titles so that when they're read, they tell the story. In other words, when you scan your titles they will give you a step by step description of what your information is all about.
Finally, at the bottom of your outline, wrap everything up by including a closing statement.
Once you've completed your outline you can begin filling in the spaces. Write your text in small blocks and leave a space between your paragraphs. Select a font that is easy to read and use black text on a white background. In addition, write in an everyday language that everyone can understand.
Designing Your Interface
Your ebook interface MUST look professional. No matter how good your information is, if your ebook doesn't look professional, its perceived value will be low. Ultimately costing you sales.

Design your ebook to be easily navigated and make sure you include navigational graphics within each page. In addition, your ebook should include all of the following:
- Introduction
- Table of Contents
- Foreword
- Copyrights
- About page
Your first step in designing your ebook will be to turn your text into HTML. Simply divide your text into sections such as, Introduction, Table of Contents, Chapters, etc., and create a web page for each.
You can include graphics, live links, and almost everything that HTML 4.0 supports.
