What do you need to create an eBook?

There are things you will need to create an eBook for the world to read:

1. eBook Content

Before even planning on publishing your book online there is one thing to consider. Though this is not necessary, to enhance more success of your eBook you should take this seriously. The content of your book matters a lot. A good eBook should contain the below:

• Must add Value to its reader
• Should be unique: Not the type that can be found easily on the web or all over the web
• Must be comprehend-able: you should write what people can understand

If your book contains the above mentioned, then there is a possibility that it will go a long way online

2. A Good Word Processing Software such as Microsoft Word

The best program I have found so handy especially when writing my books to publish online is the popularly known Microsoft Word.  It’s easy and fast for almost any beginner just as the post title implies.

I use Microsoft Word 2010 currently but if you are running 2007 or later version, no worries still.

I suppose you already know how to format documents on MS word. It lets you avoid unnecessary spaces and makes your work neat.

Note that it’s not a number of words that really matters. But passing out the information is the key to the extent that the reader understands the matter.

 So write and make it pass out the information needed.

3. A Portable Document Format (PDF) to save your Work

To create an eBook, you would need a portable document format to enable it to be viewed online.

This is where PDF comes in. PDF helps to keep your book formatting intact such that it can be viewed on almost every computer or mobile phone.

PDF is accepted as a valid format by many agencies and organizations. When the PDF format file is viewed online, it retains the format that you intended.

Microsoft Word enables you to save your work in different formats such as plain text, webpage, docs, etc. but it does not come with the .pdf format which enables you to save your work in PDF format which you are looking for. But there is a way. Yes, it does not come with it by default but you can actually download the Save as PDF add-in to make it save your works in PDF formats.  

You can download the Save as PDF add-in here to be able to save your works in PDF formats straight from Microsoft Word.

4. Design Cover for your Book

Now that you have the necessary tools to publish your book online its time you create a cover for your book to make it more attracting.

An attractive eBook cover makes people want to read your book. It is the one that tells what your book is all about, what readers should expect when they buy it.

The title of your book, the Author Name etc. Make use of Canva for designing your eBook covers. If you have knowledge of Photoshop, it’s an added advantage too.

5. Publishing your eBook

Now it’s time to publish your book. Make sure to have proof read it before this last step. After you’ve proof read you should then save your book as PDF.

This can be done from Microsoft Word by going to Office Button >> Save As and select PDF as the file type. Guess what! You just created your first EBook.

What you need to make money with eBooks

1. The Quality of your eBook [Not Quantity]

There are no two ways to making money with your eBooks rather than selling. The best way you can make money with your eBooks is by selling them. Yes, it’s like sharing your good knowledge of something and in return makes some bucks.
