I’ve written a book. I’m linking it here. This is a guide describing how to make and publish a book in 10 easy steps.
- Find a topic you want to write about. Look at your interests, strengths, and past experiences for ideas. What are you most comfortable writing about? Do you have a great idea that will make the perfect book? Are you going to chronicle your experiences?
- Write the book. This is obviously the most time-consuming step of them all. Create an outline, then write chapter by chapter.
- Review, review, review. Re-read, edit, and revise your book. Another time-consuming step.
- Copy and paste chapters into an editing software, and export the book in ePub format.
- Format the book – this means making the book more aesthetically pleasing by changing wordings and adding images.
- (Optional) Create a cover page. Amazon
- Create an Amazon Kindle Publishing Account – all you need is an eMail/Amazon account.
- Publish the book. Amazon provides cover templates, and at this step, you should create a description and setup keywords for your book. This is an important step if you want to attract a large audience.
- Create a website. This is for writing articles and providing updates on your book, as well as providing additional content.
- Create social media accounts (Instagram, Twitter, Youtube). This is another way of routing people to your book. You can also create videos and reach to a bigger audience in these social media sites.
