Just about anyone has the ability to become an Indie author. Here are some ideas for subjects and content to include in your book.

1. Why You Should Be An
Indie Author
And what you already have to offer readers.

2. If you think you can’t write a book, think
again. If you maintain a blog, are
passionate about a hobby, contribute to
message boards, or often post helpful
status updates you probably already have
enough content to fill a book.

3. If…
You’re the go-to person when friends need
advice.
Your kids beg you to tell them another one of
your original fairytales.
Your poetry has received rave reviews.
Then you’re well on your way to becoming a
published author.

4. Your Hobby:
Share your knowledge and know-how
with readers. Add photos and/or simple
line drawings.

5. Your Advice:
Either Q&A format or essays will have
readers purchasing your book to get
the answers they need.

6. Your Blog:
If you’ve had your blog for a
while, you probably have plenty of
content to turn into a book. Add a
little more if necessary.

7. Your Recipes:
Busy moms, in particular, are always
searching for easy, inexpensive kid-
friendly recipes. Add some cute
anecdotes and you’re in business!

8. Your Poetry:
If you have a way with words and have a
drawer full of poetry turn your powerful
prose into a book.

9. Your Expertise:
If you have a specific skill or area of
expertise share it with your readers.

10. Your Short Stories:
An active imagination can produce some
interesting scenarios. Turn your
daydreams into a book of short stories.

11. Your Children’s Stories:
If you’ve been telling your own homespun
fairytales to your children, share them
with your readers. If you’re artistic, you
can add your own illustrations. If not, ask
a talented friend to collaborate.

12. Your Child-Rearing Experience:
If you’ve raised children, you’ve gained
tons of experience along the way. Share
your parental knowhow with readers.
Throw in some anecdotes, Erma
Bombeck-style, and readers will
appreciate your light-hearted attitude.

13. Your Extreme Couponing Skills:
Saving money has become a passion for
frugal families. If you’re an experienced
coupon clipper readers will love hearing
about your tips and techniques for saving
money on everyday household items. This
is truly an art form and many people want
to get in on the action.

14. You might find that you need just a little
more content to fill a book, if so you can:
Interview someone with experience in your book’s
subject. From there you can include the actual
interview, or you can write content and add your
expert’s quotes.
The internet has a wealth of information on just
about any subject. Conduct online research and
summarize your findings in your own words.
Explaining a technical subject in layman’s terms
works well here.

15. By now your imagination should be super-
charged with several marketable ideas for
your new book. Congratulations!

formatting and uploading your Indie book
