How To Write An eBook With 25 Steemit Blogs
So many new people complain that their great content isn't getting viewed, but here is a way to capitalize on your content by creating an eBook out of your blogs. This is the easiest way to write an eBook... at least in my opinion.
Step 1: What will your book be about?
What topic do you want to write about? Why are you creating the eBook? Is it to put on Amazon Kindle Marketplace and sell it or to use as a tool to giveaway to receive leads and emails? The first step is to figure out what you want to write about. It needs to be a topic you have good knowledge on and can write effectively.
Step 2: Outline your eBook.
Now you know what you want to write about, now outline the story. The outline should list at least 25 topics for the eBook. EXAMPLE - 7 of the topics might be chapters and then the other 18 topics might be the content and sections within a chapter. If you need more than 25 or need less, adjust accordingly for your topic. Generally, if you use 25 topics and write about a page and a half each time, you are going to have a 40 page eBook which is a good length for a $.99-$2.99 ebook.
Step 3: Write your blogs
Now that you have your 25 topics for your eBook, write a blog to fit each one. Then post that blog on Steemit. Do that for 25 days and you will have all the content to start writing your eBook. The trick is to break down the topics into small bitesize chunks. A lot of e-readers consume content that way too so it is wise to break up an eBook this way.
Step 4: Mine comments for improvements
Look through the comments on each blog to see if you get any good feedback or things that you could change and improve. If someone asks a question, then you can edit your blog to answer the question before you put in in the draft for the ebook.
Step 5: Layout the eBook
First you want to use your outline as the table of contents and then start laying out the eBook with the edited content from the blogs. You might have to add a few paragraphs here and there to connect the pieces, but if you write according to your outline it should fit together nicely with little additional writing.
Step 6: Final draft
Get the final layout done and ready to put in the marketplace. Go to Fiverr.com and get a cover graphic made and then you have finished your first eBook by repurposing your 25 blogs from Steemit.
Step 7: Put it on sale

Go ahead and put it on Amazon and see what happens. You could sell a couple of copies a week and make an extra $50 bucks a month. If you do this for six months, and each one sold $50 a month, then that would be an additional $3,600 a year.

To my followers, you are the battery to my e-Reader.
those are some great ideas! I am going to bookmark this page. I have wanted to self publish a few Ebooks on Amazon to see how that market works for content. Hopefully you can use us steemians for good critical comments when you are writing your own ebooks.
Thanks for reading. I appreciate it. You picked up a new follower. I am reusing my content, but not in the exact same way. I'm working on a training class for small businesses and a lot of my topics on here I have used for the class, just not base on Steemit. I would rather work hard once and use it a couple of times than work a hard a couple of times creating the same thing. lol Thanks for reading.
This is a great idea bro!
Thank you! I hope you can use it.
Another great post @walkingkeys! I like the idea of 25 topics. A number like that makes it seem so doable and the suggestion to post them here to see how the audience would respond to it is an awesome idea. The problem I have with being on Steemit is that I end up getting so many ideas and not enough time to actually write much. I will eventually. I am just gathering all my tools and resources in the meantime.
I agree, I have a list of blogs I want to write but just have too much going on. I am trying to keep my pace up but it is hard. Thank you for the feedback. It seems very doable and I am trying it out now to see if it works.
Thanks for reading and the kind words.
That's actually a pretty neat idea. I've been wanting to write an ebook for a long time but I'm not a native speaker so I'm afraid no one would like to read it. And most of the time, no one comments on my blog posts here so :(
You just started, give yourself some time. I'm sure you'll succeed if you keep it up. This is a good way to come up with content and make a plan to sell it. Don't be afraid if nobody reads it, be afraid of not trying.
good luck.
You nailed it @walkingkeys "be afraid of not trying"...
Good idea,
Thanks
Now that is an awesome idea and a great solution to issues I see many talking about! Thank You @walkingkeys! Sharing!
Thank you! I try to add awesome ideas.
Thank you for reading and your ongoing support.
Love this post! You make it sounds easy and so doable for anyone. I am going to resteem and save this. I also love that you say you like helping people so am now a follower. Thank you!
Thank you very much. I think it is doable and trying it with some of my Steemit Content to add to an eBook. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks you for following. I'm following back too.
I had actually considered something very much like this!
Go for it! What do you have to lose?
You got a new follower.
great!
