2. Do you know you can publish an eBook easily
by using your existing blog posts? If you have
written more than a thousand articles on your
blog you can transform your blog posts into
one or more eBooks. Here are the steps to
publish your first eBook:
3. Select a title for your first eBook: As I write
about living with life, my first eBook is an
overview of several subjects such as health,
work, personal finance, family, relationships,
self development and happiness. When the
first eBook is done, I can expand and write
more in-depth eBooks covering each topic in
my first eBook. You should do the same so
that you can publish several eBooks without
running out of ideas.
4. Choose relevant articles from your blog: My
blog platform is Blogger. It is able to tell me
the number of views for each article. So, it is
easy for me to choose relevant and popular
posts for my eBook. However, it is necessary
to combine and revise several articles to suit
one particular chapter.
5. Use Word to write your eBook: You can write
your eBook using Word. It allows you to
convert your files into eBook formats such as
ePub, an open industry standard and
Mobipocket, the format used by Amazon.
6. The eBook project in details: This is how I break down the
tasks to complete my first eBook. A date is assigned to
each task to create a sense of urgency in the work.
