To start writing an eBook, you need to select a suitable title for it. It does not matter if you are writing an eBook to provide to the masses for free so that you may get exposure as a writer or if you are looking to make profits from it. The fact is, nobody will read your eBook if it does not have a title that evokes curiosity from the reader. On that note, it is pretty obvious that you will have to write about something that your audience will find interesting. Thus make sure you have done your research on your target audience. Whether you want to write about vampires who are all the rage now, or want to write home repairs for the do it yourself males, sufficient research on your target demographic as well as a catchy title is the first step in writing a successful eBook.
eBook Writing is quite similar to writing a blog. Do not take your eBook overly seriously. You do not want to come off as an English professor or a lecturer. Writing an eBook gives you more flexibility than writing a hard copy book. Take advantage of this as it will enable you to connect with your readers. For example, if your target audience is local, you can throw in slang words that the readers in your area will understand. Do not go overboard with this though. Your eBook should still appear like it was written by an intelligent individual. Use a conversational tone so that your readers are more at ease with reading your book. This way they will not feel like it is a task but will instead read it as something to pass time.
Lastly, after you have finished writing it, convert your eBook to a PDF file. This will make it more accessible to your readers and easy to download. Thus they can have it in their computers and even their cell phones.
