If you\nhave huge passion for a topic that you don\u2019t particularly know well, this is\nnot a problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You only have to work more by doing the research (read books and articles, interview key persons, discuss with different people).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.Book structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is mandatory to have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Front and back covers \u2013 The covers\ncan make your book sell or not. Think how you decide to buy books and items in\ngeneral \u2013 you analyze the covers and the packaging right? <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">           You need more than a talented designer for this step. Do the research              first and find out what you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Preface \u2013 Tell people who you are\nand why are you writing the book.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Introduction \u2013 Here you will\nconvince people to read your book. This is your \u201clanding page\u201d for potential\ncustomers. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Table of contents \u2013 Decide how you\nwill divide the book. This can be made during you write but you should have an\nidea of how it will look like, from the very first day.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Conclusions<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Book length<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This cannot be decided from the very first start but:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>People don\u2019t trust very short books\n\u2013 100 pages or less<\/li><li>People consider longer books to be\nworth the money.<\/li><li>A 300-page book is usually long\nenough.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.Book size and orientation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I recommend you a portrait book and the standard\nsize of 6&#8243;x 9&#8243;. This if for print books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. eBook or printed book?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are important differences between eBooks\nand printed books, especially for first-time writers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>eBooks cost nothing to deliver.<\/li><li>eBooks have a much smaller price so\nare more attractive for the masses of people.<\/li><li>eBooks can be read on mobile phones\n\u2013 which is super convenient.<\/li><li>You can sell your eBook on your\nFacebook page.<\/li><li>You can sell your eBook\nautomatically on your website.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would start with an eBook and see how it works\nin terms of sales. If it does well and you have the capacity and time, print it\nand offer potential buyers the print version for a higher price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I personally love printed books and as me there\nare lots of people. But it is a bit complicated to print and deliver books all\nover the world. My first book will also be an eBook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. You will use a paper and pen, a typing machine, or your laptop?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I recommend you use a laptop and Microsoft\nWord. You can easily edit, search, replace, and delete words. And you can keep\neverything organized which is a huge plus when comparing with a paper and pen,\nand even with a typing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. When will you write?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should create a writing habit, do it every\nday from Monday to Friday, or even from Monday to Sunday if you are 100% sure\nthat it is realizable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, I cannot work well in weekends.\nUsually in weekends I spend more time with my family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. How much will you write every day?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most articles recommend you write each day a\ncertain number of words. I don\u2019t. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because there will be days when you write much\neasier and in that particular days you don\u2019t have to stop because you only had\nto write x words. Enjoy the time and write as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will also be difficult days when you struggle\nto write, but good days will compensate the less fortunate ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. When will you finish writing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make a calendar and stick to it. If your book\nhas 300 pages and you can write 1 page per day, you will finish it in 300 days.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can work very well but I highly suggest\nyou to do it faster. A page per day is very little and it will be hard to\ncreate your writing habit. Do 2 pages per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research is super important. If you know a\nsubject super well, maybe you will invest less time in research or maybe you\ndon\u2019t need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But usually the research phase is a step that\nyou should not miss. Research will make your book more complete and more\ntrustable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Write down which books and articles you used\nfor particular information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Quote experts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quoting experts will achieve 2 things for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Will make your book trustable.<\/li><li>Will make people trust you.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. What font should you use and what size?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several good fonts that you can use\nfor your book. Anyway, you can easily change the font in any moment (if you are\nusing a computer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Good serif fonts (for the body of the book) <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Hoefler Text <\/li><li>Sabon Garamond (not ITC Garamond) <\/li><li>Century (not Century Gothic) <\/li><li>Minion Pro <\/li><li>Georgia <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Good sans serif fonts (used sparingly for contrast) <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Trade Gothic<\/li><li>Franklin Gothic <\/li><li>News Gothic <\/li><li>Myriad <\/li><li>Helvetica Neue<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want\nto identify new fonts, take a couple of books from your own collection and find\nout which fonts are being used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a\npicture of the font, upload it to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/\">WhatFontIs<\/a> and the free powerful software will\nquickly identify it for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Where will you sell your book?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you will write an eBook, sell it on your\nFacebook page (some of your friends and people that you know will buy it for\nsure \u2013 some to help you and some because are interested about what you have to\nsay on a particular topic) and on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t have a website, make one for free\nwith <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wix.com\/\">WIX<\/a> for\nexample. You don\u2019t need any experience and it is free to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create a one-page website for your book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t forget to buy a .com domain with the name\nof your book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should also put it on Amazon. You can\nchoose between two royalty options for each of your eBooks: the 35% royalty\noption and the 70% royalty option. Here is <a href=\"https:\/\/kdp.amazon.com\/en_US\/help\/topic\/G200644210\">more info<\/a>.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. How will you promote your book?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you choose to write an eBook, promote it on\nFacebook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s cheap and effective. You will be amazed\nhow well it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select the most important 30 online\npublications where an article about your book will be useful, write the blog\nowners and ask them if they are willing to write a review about your book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find influencers that are active within your\nbook topic and offer them the book for free if they are willing to review it on\ntheir blogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask your closest friends to read your book (you\ngive it for free) and write a short review on their Facebook pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s next<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"722\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-photo-3887445-1024x722.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-photo-3887445-1024x722.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-photo-3887445-300x212.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-photo-3887445-768x542.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-photo-3887445-1536x1083.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-photo-3887445.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pexels-photo-3887445-770x543.jpeg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you start getting money for your work,\nyou will gain huge confidence in yourself and in your writing skills.
