Writing an ebook, or even a traditional book, is a bit like making a movie. It all starts as an idea in someone's mind and eventually the movie is appearing at a theater near you. The huge difference is that you will have all the control while you are writing, marketing and selling your ebook. There are no studios, producers, directors or temperamental actors to deal with. You will make all of the decisions and reap all of the rewards. Here is the analogy I think of when relating the writing of an ebook to that of producing a movie.

• Pre-Production - Deciding what the ebook will be about


• Location Scouting - Finding out who your audience will be


• Pitching the idea to the studios - Doing your keyword and niche topic research


• Lights, Camera, Action! - Writing the ebook


• Post-Production - Deciding on a title, formatting it as a PDF document, developing an e-cover


• Showtime - Publishing your ebook


• Movie Trailer - Presenting your sales letter to the world


• Taking it to DVD and cable - Repurposing your ebook as blog posts, articles, recordings, e-courses and teleseminars


• Sequels - Your next ebook


• Encore! - Teleseminars based on your content

Now think about all the difficulties that go on with the writer, director, producer, actors, crew and others involved in the making of a film and you will see that writing an ebook is really a very simple process. Write it in the same order as a movie is produced and you will have your step by step outline of how to write an ebook.
