I've chosen an unusual title for this article. It's a title that is somewhat subjective since the definition of success is not the same for everyone. In this article I will explain why there really only should be one primary definition for success for the aspiring eBook author. I'll also provide helpful information about choosing a niche.
To answer the question posed in this title, I will provide a couple actions in this article. Okay, lets dive in.
Determine that your definition of success will be to help others. If your only goal for writing eBooks is to make money then you will probably fail. Most markets are just too competitive. You may make a few sales here and there with this mindset, but it won't change your life. On the other hand, if you truly desire to add value to others by providing information via your eBook that will solve their problem, relieve their pain or help them get unstuck, then you can probably sell your eBook even in competitive niches.
How do you determine to change lives with your eBook? By making the content as valuable as possible and by connecting with your prospects through relationships and accessibility. The benefit of having this mindset tremendous. People will trust you and will be more likely to buy from you.
Decide on a topic (niche). What do you want to write about? Is there a topic in which you are an expert? Perhaps you are currently a professional (e.g., doctor, counselor, trainer, etc.) and you want to help more people by packaging your knowledge in an eBook.
Perhaps you don't have knowledge in a particular area that can be used for an eBook. If this is the case, then you'll need to get an education in a particular area first. This isn't as hard as it seems. It's not like you'll need a four-year degree to learn enough information to write an eBook. Actually, you could find four or five good books on a specific topic, study them and use this newly acquired knowledge to create your eBook. Just make sure that you're learning about a topic in which a demand already exists.
Hopefully this information has helped you understand the initial steps required to write a successful eBook. If you desire to use your knowledge for the purpose of truly helping others, then writing an eBook is a fantastic way to accomplish this goal.
