Tips
for Writing Great Coaching E-Books
Never understimate the power of
a well-written word. Tens of thousands of readers
of coaching ebooks have had their lives changed
for the better by a well written ebook.
It's a remarkable medium that you
can tap into to coach others day or night, in
the city or country, all across the planet.
Is writing an ebook for you?
Do you have the answers to a specific
problem? Can you research the answers? Do
you have a personal story to tell about overcoming
the problem in your own life?
Is there a group of people for whom
this problem is universal? A group of people
who wake up in the night in a sweat, wishing,
praying and wracking their brains for an answer?
The more they are in need of help,
the more likely your ebook can change their lives.
If you think writing an ebook is
for you, this is what you need to know:
1. A great ebook is not long.
In fact, the very best ebooks are
10-35 pages long, and no longer.
Why is this?
The ebook that is short and sweet
answers in a laser-like fashion the problem that
the reader wants to solve.
It's the most valuable ebook a client
can buy because you have filtered the exact information
they most need, and cut out the rest.
Don't make the mistake of thinking
you need 100 pages to call yourself an ebook publisher.
Cut to the chase.
2. A marketable ebook is very specific.
This goes hand in hand with #1.
Don't write ebooks that are general.
They just aren't marketable and you'll be in for
a heartache.
The key to marketability is communicating
to specific people that your answer is the precise
one they need.
3. A great coaching ebook uses a
coaching approach.
Take some time as you prepare to
write your ebook, and do two things:
Read great ebooks AND transfer what
you know works as a coach, and transfer that to
your ebook.
As a coach, do you harness the power
of the provocative question in your one on one
coaching calls?
Perhaps you have a special ability
to see the greater truth in a client's life?
Take special note of what makes
your coaching exceptional in one mode of delivery
and deliberately set out to translate that to
the writing you do for your ebook.
