Offering a free report (free ebook) on your blog can help you increase your traffic, your list of subscribers, prospects and even customers. Many bloggers know this very well and yet they still wonder « how to write an ebook free " and think it's very complicated to do it.
If this is your case, then here is the solution: Use your blog articles!
So here are 12 steps that should allow you to write your article today.
1. Start by downloading the software OpenOffice.org. this is the one I use to create my ebooks (digital books). With just one click, you transform your text into a PDF document.
2. Copy and paste - Copy all (or almost) articles of a particular theme on your blog and paste them in an order that will make sense to your reader.
3. Eliminate the redundancies that appear in articles. Yes, some of our articles on a given subject often contain examples and similar sentences ... eliminate them!
4. Create logical content - Find ways to connect the first article to the second, the second to the third, and so on.
5. Air your ebook - From left to right, from bottom to top, leave a few blank spaces on each page.
6. Choose the right writing font - your font size should be between 11 and 12 points. Many people use Ariel or Verdana for their ebooks because they are more presentable than Time New Roman.
7. Illustrate your document - use beautiful images to illustrate your ebook. Avoid using clip art from your computer if you don't want to sound like the last of the hobbyists. There are inexpensive images that you can buy on the internet. Otherwise you can still use Flickr. Be careful not to make a photo album instead of a book. Personally, I never use more than two images in my ebooks.
8. Take care of the presentation - For titles and subtitles, use a much larger font than for normal text. Do not underline titles to avoid confusion. An underlined title very often gives the impression that it is a link. Use bold, color, or italic to differentiate them. You can also use special fonts like Tahoma for your titles.
9. Create a nice looking cover page - Your cover should look like that of a physical book. Well after that, I'm not asking you to complicate things either.
10. Create a table of material that you will place just after the title of your ebook - The ideal for a free report would be a maximum of 30 pages and 70 (maximum) for an ebook that you plan to sell.
11. Add your blog link to the bottom of each page – Whether paying or free, it must contribute to promote your blog.
12. Promote a few products - you can always offer resources to your readers. Resources that are nothing else than your own products or those that you offer in affiliation.
13. Convert your ebook to PDF. This is the most common format. Make sure all links are clickable. With OpenOffice.org, everything is done automatically.
Let's talk briefly about selling your ebook now
14. How to sell your ebook? Buy and install a plugin like WP eStore to sell your ebook on the internet. Otherwise, I highly recommend going to the site www.blogpascher.com for the creation of a complete and ultra-professional shop on your WordPress blog. They are fast and really cheaper.
15. Make affiliation - Also consider creating an affiliate program for your product and letting other internet users promote your product in exchange for a commission. Again, go to the specialists: www.blogpascher.com . Please contact their online support if you have any questions.
The ball is now in your camp. You too can now write your ebook using the best articles of your blog. I did it with my ebook: Blogger Success.

Thanks for this article. I am in the process of writing recipes that I would like to publish as an ebook but had no intention of selling it. This ebook will be distributed in hospitals and on my blog as they will offer fiber and residue free recipes for people who have rays or bowel operations. And I'm a little confused ... so I'm going to take a closer look at your article.

Hello,
The only advice I can give you is to make it as simple as possible. The simpler things, the better they communicate.
Hello Thierry,
This is exactly the item I needed! Indeed, I plan to create a free ebook using my already published articles.
On the other hand, I stumble on some technical obstacles, like for example how to insert a video in a pdf. Well, I know Adobe Pro can do this, but it pays off! Isn't there another free solution?
Thanks again for the article?
