16Three K.E.Y.s To Becoming A Successful Ebook Writer
Posted By: Val on August 16, 2010 at 8:46 pmThe Real K.E.Y. To Becoming A Successful Ebook Writer
There must be some reason why certain ebook writers are successful and others are not.
In other words, why do some authors make high six-figure incomes (even seven-figures!) and others barely make enough to cover their hosting fees? There must be some reason for the difference in level of success, right?
There is. In fact, there are three “reasons” why. The word “K.E.Y.” is a good acronym to reveal these three elements of successful ebook publishing.
Here’s the first one.
1. K = KEEP it concise. One of the biggest mistakes ebook writers make is starting their project with the idea in mind that their ebook must be a certain number of pages in length. That is, they assume the ebook should be 50 pages or 100 pages or even 200 pages in order to be desirable to consumers. Wrong.
Much more important than QUANTITY is QUALITY. Almost every potential customer in your target market is considerably more interested in learning something useful than they are reading a bunch of commentary that has little or no real value to them.
The ability to concisely (yet comprehensively) share content that is practical is a must if you want to be successful in the information business. No fluff. No filler. No fat. Just the meat. That’s what consumers want. Especially today in our fast- paced, instant, I-want-it-now society.
And chances are you are much more likely to write a 30 page manual and get it done than you are to slave over trying to measure up to a 200 page masterpiece.
Your first key to success is “keep it concise”. Share what you need to share in the least amount of pages as possible. It doesn’t have to be the great American novel. This isn’t Hemingway.
Watch out for the next Key!
