Set a Total WordCount
When you are planning your eBook, make sure that you determine what your total word count should be. This will help you structure your book, and you will know how many words to work with. After you determine the total word count, make a rough estimate of how long you want to make each section. You can do this by assigning a rough word count for each section. A tentative word count for each section will help you determine when you should begin concluding a particular section. It will help you cut out some of the extraneous content from your work. This will help you keep track of the overall word count as well.

What You Should Keep In Mind When Writing
There is no particular way to go about the writing process. However, there are some rules and tricks that you should follow and know. Here are some of them that we feel are important to keep in mind when you are writing.
Try Not to Write Your Book in a Linear Order Sometimes it’s conducive to start writing a section that comes somewhere in the middle of your eBook. Human beings don’t usually work in a specific order. It’s best to write about the ideas that come to mind. It doesn’t matter if they are about a section in the middle of your eBook. Write about whatever comes to your head first and then organize it later. If you don’t write down the ideas in your head, you are most likely going to forget about them later on. Therefore, you must capitalize on each situation and write about any part of your book.
After you write down those ideas, think about how you can fit that into your book. When you are writing a section that comes before the one you have written, make sure your content builds up to what you have already written. This will ensure that your workflows nicely from one section (or chapter) to the other. In addition to that, it is best to write the introduction and conclusion after you have finished writing the entire body. This way, you will know what you should include in your introduction. Your introduction should address every significant theme in your book, so it is best to know what all of those are before you write about them. Also, you are most probably going to make a lot of changes to the content and structure of your book when you are writing. In most cases, your book doesn’t end up being like you wanted it to be from start. Therefore, you will have to keep changing your introduction if you wrote it in the beginning.
Don’t Interrupt Your Writing Flow While it is good to have a fixed structure for your book before you start, don’t be afraid to let the pen take the lead. A lot of times, some of our best ideas come to us when we are just going with our natural flow. If you are on a roll, don’t stop writing. Keep writing for as long as you can – even if you exceed the number of hours you were supposed to work for. Write your ideas as they come to you and don’t worry about them being bad. You can always edit out the bad parts and keep the good ones.
All of Your Content Should Support Your Argument You should keep this statement in your mind when you’re writing your eBook. This will keep your writing focused. You can also write your argument at the top of each page. This way, you will remember what your argument is, and write content that serves the argument. You must remember that every sentence in your book should serve your argument. There shouldn’t be a single redundant sentence in your work. Gather evidence that supports your argument and write about the evidence in detail. When discussing your evidence, make sure to explain how it supports your argument. Reiterating your argument throughout your manuscript is an excellent way to help your reader keep track of what point you’re making through your text.
Don’t Stop Researching You must continue researching for your book while you are writing it. It is good to research before you start so that you can gather enough material to begin, but don’t let that be the end of your research process. Research every new topic that
you are addressing in your writing. This way, your writing will be a lot better, and you will have more material to offer to your readers. Here are a few additional tips you should keep in mind when you are writing your book.
Turn Your Book into a Series When you are planning your book, make sure that you think of your first book as part of a series. Book series is a great way to attract more readers because people like to follow stories that keep developing. You can do this for non-fiction books as well. Don’t add all of your content into the first book. Save some of it for your next book. Consider making your books into a 3 to 5 parts series, depending on the content you can write on the subject. Book series also allow you to make money faster than writing new and original books. This is because you won’t have to start from scratch, allowing you to write books faster. Your first book will give you some place to start, and you can then develop your ideas from that point.
Sift Through the Bestsellers List on Amazon Go through the Bestsellers list on Amazon to get an idea of what people are reading these days. This way, you will know what you should and shouldn’t include in your novel. Don’t write on a subject that a lot of other writers have written on. It will be difficult for your work to stand out from theirs. As a result, you won’t get much readership for your book. In addition to that, skim through the review section for some of the books on the list. Here, you can learn what readers liked and did not like about the books. Reading the reviews is an excellent way to get into readers’ heads. Make a note of recurring things that readers don’t like about books. Avoid repeating those mistakes in your book. Make sure that your writer is also well-informed about what readers want in their books.
Use the Same Book Cover for Your Book Series Cut down on the costs of book cover designs by reusing the original book cover for every part of the series. All you will need to do is change the text. This includes the title and synopsis at the back cover of the book. Try to get the covers for all of your books in the series printed in one deal. This way, you will have more room for negotiation with the graphic designer.
