How To Structure The Contents of Your eBook
A good place to start is with a rough outline of your book such as a table of contents. Note that this will likely change over time as you write.
That contents should start with an introduction and this is one of the most important aspects of your book – especially if you’re giving away free previews. Your objective here is not to kill time treading water so that you can bulk out your word count. Instead, this should be where you hit home right away by selling the dream and outlining precisely what it is that your readers can expect to learn.
So if you have a fitness ebook, you start by telling why fitness is so important and by painting a picture of what life could be like if your readers were stronger, slimmer and fitter. If your book is more about solving a specific problem, then your aim is going to be to focus on that problem and to describe the pain point.
From there, you then outline the nature of your book and what makes it different. Ideally, you’ll provide some kind of tip and some kind of value as you do this. That way, your audience will right away see that you’re capable of delivering on your promises and will right away see that their money would be well-spent.
Finally, end by highlighting precisely what they can expect to learn if they keep reading and how that will help address the issues you’ve outlined.
Next you’ll launch into the first chapter. In this part you need to provide the basic foundation that your readers will need to understand the rest of the book. So if you’re writing about internet marketing, then you should explain what internet marketing is and how it works.
That means explaining the basic business model and a bit of the history. Conversely, if you’re writing about this diet or that, then you should explain the essentials that your readers need to know regarding nutrition. That doesn’t mean you need to write a science textbook, just make sure you’re prepping the audience with the knowledge they need.
