with my very first ebook i made about
fifteen hundred dollars in a weekend and
i wrote it in a day in today's video i'm
going to show you exactly how to figure
out what to write your ebook about how
to finally get the information out of
your head and onto the paper and how to
deliver it to your people let's talk
about it what's up y'all welcome to the
winning team i'm nakisha if you're new
so if you're going through the process
of trying to write your first ebook i'm
sure you have a lot of questions like
what do i even write this thing about
now the first thing i want you to
understand is that getting that topic
right is very very important and you
choose this topic by assessing the
skills and the talents or maybe even the
advice that you have to give someone
else in order for your ebook to do good
it needs to solve a clear problem one
problem we are not trying to throw
everything that we know into one ebook
do you have extensive knowledge in
something and maybe there's one clear
question that people ask you over and
over and over again you probably should
write your ebook on that do you have
years and years of experience doing
something and people always come to you
about that thing those are the type of
things that you should write your ebook
about you should have extensive
knowledge in it be able to give advice
on it maybe relationships maybe you've
gone through a bad relationship and
you're trying to prevent other women
from going through that maybe you have a
personal finance career and you want to
give tips there whatever you choose to
write your ebook about make sure that
you have knowledge in it and that you're
somewhat passionate about it too because
people can feel when you really don't
know what you're talking about and you
just did research on something and tried
to create an ebook we're not doing
another that okay make sure that you
have the knowledge in the area that
you're trying to teach someone something
about right most of the time teaching
ebooks do the best because most people
want knowledge they want to learn
something if it's related to finances
relationships or wellness you can assure
that those three topics will do well it
doesn't have to be in those areas as
long as you have knowledge in it and you
know what you're talking about so you
want to figure out how to choose a topic
for your ebook based on your own
knowledge talents experience or advice
the next thing you want to do is your
research right so you don't want to just
jump out here and make this ebook on
something that you think would be a good
idea no you want to know for sure that
your people want this and that it's
going to sell when you finally create it
because we're not into jumping out here
creating things that no one wants to buy
right so we're going to do our research
the very first thing you're going to do
is research on google right you're going
to type in the topic of your ebook and
see what comes up what are the most
popular blogs and websites that come up
for this topic you're going to read
through those things and see the type of
information that they put in you're
going to do the same thing on youtube as
well find the top creators for that
topic find the top videos and make sure
you go through the comments of these
videos what are people talking about the
most in the comments of these videos
what are some questions that people are
asking because maybe the creator didn't
go in depth when it comes to that
particular part of the topic you want to
make sure you're getting into the mind
of your potential buyers what is it that
they truly want to know not what you
think they want to know what is it that
they really want to know and going in
depth into these comments and into
videos and blog posts and articles is
really going to give you an idea of what
people are asking when it comes to that
particular thing there's a website
called answer the public that you can
also go to and type in your top question
for this particular niche and it will
give you loads and loads of questions
that people are asking around this topic
this can give you another great insight
into the topics that should be within
your ebook now after you've done that
surface level research you want to begin
to ask your audience you want to ask
them exactly what it is that they want
if you have a newer audience and and
they're not really responding to you or
you know they're not answering back
because that happens you know when our
audience is cold and we haven't done a
good job of engaging with them
or we're new and our audience is not
that large sometimes people just won't
answer especially if you give them a
question where you're expecting that
they're going to go in depth no give
them closed-ended questions where it's a
yes or no when it comes to this topic do
you want to know more about this part or
this part where they can just give a
simple quick answer whether it's on your
instagram stories on your youtube
community tab you know don't give them
something where they have to give you an
explanation child whatever that type of
question is give them something and give
them very specifics to choose behind it
go live with your audience a lot of you
are missing out on a whole bag because
you're so afraid to go live with your
these are real people on the other end
of this on on the other end of the
camera if you're building an audience
and you're trying to build an audience
of real people and really be connected
in with your people you're going to have
to talk to them so go live around the
topic that you're considering doing the
ebook on and simply ask them questions
you will be surprised of the feedback
that you will get on a live stream
because people want you to answer their
question directly and so they're more
prone to you know give you the
information that you're looking for just
go live on the topic right and have a
conversation around it and watch all the
information flow in now once you've done
your thorough research and you've taken
notes on the most common questions that
you're seeing or you know the
information that you see needs to be
included in this ebook now it's time to
outline the ebook right so you want to
go step by step on what you want to
include you're you're making an outline
right this is how you're going to keep
your information organized so that it
reads well to the person that's going to
buy so you're going to create that
outline you're going to make sure that
you're including the most important
questions people have around it the
thing that people want to know how to do
you're going to go deep you know go as
deep as you need to go in order to
clearly answer the one question you're
trying to answer with your ebook like i
said we're not trying to throw
everything that we know into this one
ebook trust me i feel you i know how it
is i like to be thorough your girl is a
teacher and so i like to go deep too but
when it comes to an ebook you don't want
this thing to be way too long and people
never can finish it
you know and never accomplish what
they're trying to accomplish you want to
make it a shorter
read than a longer read in my opinion
any ebook that i've ever bought has not
been like this massive 100 page document
if i wanted that i would have bought a
book but that's that's that's me though
right there is no length that it needs
to be people ask me this all the time it
needs to be as long as it needs to be to
answer the question and as short as it
can be to get your point across right so
there's no clear answer there make it as
long as it needs to be right but you
want to outline very specifically
everything that you're going to put
inside of the ebook so you're going to
outline it with the header topic that
you're going to be talking about you're
going to break down the subheadings on
the things within that topic that you're
going to talk about and you're going to
set this up exactly how you want to
write it this is the most important part
the outline part the research and the
outline should take longer than the
actual writing of the book because this
is where you're figuring out how to put
that value inside your book so make sure
you take a nice amount of time on your
research and your outline i would say no
more than 24 hours because you can write
this in a day for sure hands down and
honestly you can do this entire thing in
a weekend and if you're interested in
seeing me do an e-book in a weekend let
me know in the comments and i'll show
y'all exactly how easy this is to do in
another video but you're gonna i would
say give yourself about 24 hours to do
the research it doesn't have to be in
one sitting because maybe you don't have
that kind of time because i know i don't
but you know a good 24 hours to do some
thorough thorough research to make sure
that you're going to cover all the
aspects that need to be covered and then
i would say give yourself about 24 hours
to do the outline as well obviously it
doesn't take that long for the outline
if you did good research but i'm just
saying give yourself a day now like i
said the writing can be done in a day
but you need to take some time on that
research and the outline before we get
into the actual writing now it's time
for us to actually write the ebook and i
know you're probably saying nekeisha
this is the hardest part because i
absolutely hate writing but
not so fast all you're going to do is
whip out your cell phone or whip out
your laptop and do voice to tech you're
simply going to talk about the topic
that you're so knowledgeable in and that
you're so passionate about and you're
going to let the device type it for you
on any mac product there's a voice to
text feature and you can simply talk it
out now if you do not have a mac product
i would go into the app store and find a
voice to text app something like otter
and i would talk out my content i would
talk it out after you sit there and you
just do your whole thing do your thing
you know talk it out say what you need
to say you should have pages and pages
of tech to turn into your ebook now
obviously it's not going to be formatted
at this point but we're not there yet we
just want to get this information on
paper right you've talked it out your
ebook is done and now
it's time for us to format it now it's
time for us to format the document so
after you've done all the voice to tags
you will need to do some editing to that
document you're going to need to go in
and make some spelling corrections you
know change up some paragraphs how
you've said things you're going to want
to do that okay you want to go in there
and make it look a little bit you know
fancy enough for you to be able to take
the information and transfer over to the
actual ebook right next you're going to
go to canva canva is absolutely free
they have a free subscription even
though there is a paid option which i
use because there's so many options on
the templates and the photos and all
that good stuff and hands down it's just
amazing i don't think i could run my
business without it i absolutely love
canva but you're going to go in canva
you can use the free version and you're
going to look up an ebook template or a4
document and you're going to simply take
that information that you spoke onto the
document and that you kind of pre-format
it and you're going to transfer it over
to one of those templates it's really
really that simple now if you want to
make it even simpler
you can simply take the document that
you spoke out and that you got together
and leave it exactly like that it does
not have to be this groundbreaking
beautiful template the only thing you
need to do at that point is create a
cover page for your document and you can
do that in canva as well go to canva
choose a cover page make it cute and
combine it together with the document
that you spoke it all out on really
really simple you can use canva to
format your document and make it all
cute and put it all together
okay now you have your document all
beautiful and it's put together and you
have your ebook created and now you need
to know how to get it to your customers
right we're going to do that by simply
uploading that document into a system
like send owl send out is simply a
system that distributes digital products
for you any type of digital product but
for today we're talking about ebooks all
you need to do is go to send out i'll
put a link to them down in my
description sign up for your account
it's absolutely free you don't have to
pay anything and you are going to upload
your ebook into the system there you're
going to put your price tag on it and
they're going to create a payment
gateway for you it's really that simple
and so once you're selling your ebook
the only thing you have to do is give
your people the link they click on the
link they go purchase it send out sends
it to them and then send out send you
your money it's really that simple but
in order to get those sales obviously
you need to have a system in place in
order to get people over to that link so
that you can make those sales and if you
need to know how to do that make sure
you watch this video right here i go in
depth on exactly how to do that
