15 Questions to Instantly Help You
Write a Downloadable Tips E-Booklet
by: Paulette Ensign
Everyone has something they want the world to know. A downloadable or
electronically delivered tips e-booklet is a great way to do that, creating
author status and a marketing tool for yourself in the process, with no
production expense.
You may have considered writing a full-length e-book. Many people entertain
that possibility. Fewer have actually followed through once realizing how
much time and effort that takes. Instead, a downloadable tips e-booklet
can be the ideal way to go, ultimately leading you to writing that longer
book, or not.
Here are some questions to get your tips (and cash!) flowing. You can
mine your own field of gold by looking at any notes you�ve created along
the way, or jotting down things now as they come to mind.
What is the single most compelling subject from your experience or knowledge
that you want the world to know about? If there are several topics, consider
which one you are most passionate about.
Can you identify the single most outstanding thing you want people to
know? Think about whether it is a new skill, perspective, attitude, or
expansion of general knowledge.
Why do you want to write an e-booklet? It may be an altruistic gesture
to spread the word about something. It might be a marketing tool for a
business or book you have or want to have. The e-booklet can be a profit
center for you. Maybe you would you like it to be both a marketing tool
and a profit center.
How would you divide your subject into segments? Look at the possibility
of those segments becoming additional e-booklets to develop into a series,
or as mini-chapters of one e-booklet.
What are you often surprised by that people do not know about your subject
area? There could be something that seems so 'common sense' to you, while
being highly helpful or enlightening to others.
Does your information need to be presented sequentially or can it be
random? Notice if specific entries stand-alone or if they need whatever
came before to cause the entry to make sense to the reader.
What do you want people to do and not to do, be or not be as a result
of your e-booklet? Think about how this information will benefit the reader.
Who besides the reader can benefit from this material? There may be
manufacturers, suppliers, or distributors whose business activities can
profit by distributing your contents. Those will be large-quantity buyers
of your e-booklet.
Is there jargon or language that is peculiar to your topic? Consider
how you will monitor and treat that in your content.
What surprised you most when you learned about your topic? That is probably
useful to pass along to your readers in some way.
Which resources are needed to implement any of your suggestions? Look
for the easiest ways to accomplish what you are recommending to your reader.
What is it that people need to know about you? Tell what gives you the
credential to write about this topic.
What other products and/or services would also make sense to develop
to assist the reader in this topic? Decide whether it is important for
those to be products and services of your own, of someone else's, or both.
How would short anecdotes be useful in supporting your materials? The
anecdotes could get in the way or enhance your content.
Do your tips need visual support with graphics to allow them to be more
fully understood? Clip art could be adequate or you might decide to use
original art.
Are you ready to get started? Or were you already making notes as you
were reading this article? Take as little or as much time as you�d like
in creating your first tips e-booklet. You�ll be amazed by the results.
Everyone has something they want the world to know about. What�s the starting
place for you?
