3. Y = YIELD results.
Finally, I must exhort you to “yield results”. That is, you simply must stick to it and finish the job.
I cannot tell you how many people that I’ve met online who struggle with the affliction “short-of-the-finish-line-it is”.
They begin running the race with gusto. They pick their topic like it was a Nike outfit. They outline their ebook like they just heard the starting gun fire. They come up with ideas to include in their work like they were
sprinting down the track.
And when they round the first corner, they start slowing down. Before they know it, they’re up in the stands watching others cross the finish line.
That’s why I am adamant about telling you the golden rule of ebook content: Never start something you can’t finish in 30 days.
With any new ebook you are planning on writing, choose the topic and outline it in such a way that you can complete the content within one calendar month. Anything that goes beyond that period of time is likely going to be discarded somewhere past the starting gate and before the finish line.
It’s important that you set for your goal a reasonable, reachable amount of pages for your ebook … such as 30 pages. Then, divide that goal number of pages into your 30 days. In this example, it would mean writing just ONE page per day (very realistic!) for 30 days and your ebook will
be completed.
Victory! The finish line!
Certainly there are a wide variety of other “keys” to being successful as an ebook writer (choosing the right topics, learning to outline well, brainstorming ideas, marketing, etc.) but these three form a solid foundation for you to build upon as you continue to learn more about information publishing.
K = KEEP it concise.
E = ENJOY yourself.
Y = YIELD results.
See you on your victory lap!
