Ebooks have become a way for any aspiring writer to get their work out there in the market. It takes a lot of planning and depending on the type of ebook you are writing, may also take a long time to put together.
Luckily there are ebooks out there that can be developed and launched relatively quickly. In this article we will cover 10 types of ebooks that you can write and publish with relative ease.
- Guide Book
A guide book can also be called a “how to” book. It can be in the form of a set number of rules, but the goal of the book is to serve as a guide to its readers.
An example of a guide book title is:
- A 12 step guide on how to build a website
It is a quick and simple way to write an ebook. The language needs to be easily understandable and the guidelines given clear and unconfusing.
- Ebook Giving Tips
There are plenty of tip books on the market and people are always looking for ways to do things smarter and faster. If you are knowledgeable about a certain subject this might be the perfect ebook to write.
Examples of a tip book is:
- 30 tips to clear your life of debt.
The goal of a tip book is to be a handy tool that improves quality of life.
- List Book
Writing a list book will again require you to have some knowledge on your topic. A list book usually focuses on one topic and gives a list of actions one can take to achieve the ultimate goal.
For example:
- A list of all the ways you can save money.
The book topic must be something people will want to learn about more.
- Daily Rituals Book
This type of ebook focuses on daily routines that will help the reader in some or other form. The focus can be on one day or more than one day depending on what type of routine you want to write about.
Example title is:
- Jump start your Monday mornings with these easy 5 steps.
With a rituals book the possibilities are endless. It only takes a little imagination and one can easily put together an ebook that can add value to many lives.
- The Big Idea Ebook
This type of ebook might require a little more thinking, but can be hugely successful. You could for instance use a blog that you created to write a book about or a life decision that you made.
Actual big idea ebook example is:
- “The five love languages” by Gary Chapman
There is absolutely no limit on what you can write about. Of course you can’t write an ebook about the universe without having some knowledge thereof so choose a topic that you are comfortable with.
- The Ebook Manual
Think of a time where you struggled with something and wish that you had a manual to help you out. Sound familiar? If you have great technical skills this might be a good option for you.
An ebook manual and an ebook guide sounds similar but it isn’t. A manual will have more detail and focus on technical aspects.
Examples of titles for ebook manuals are:
- How to build a computer from the ground up: The complete manual
This type of book will need to have a good flow to it and chapters can be used as stepping stones to the next level of difficulty.
- Q&A Ebooks
Question and answer books might take some research at first, but it is a relatively easy form of ebook to create and launch quickly.
With so many different topics to choose from you will have to narrow your search to some extent to target the right readers.
Example of a Q&A book is:
- Q&A book of examination preparation.
Think of relevant questions someone might ask in these circumstances and then provide valid knowledgeable answers to address the questions.
- Success Stories
People love hearing about success stories so why not write your own. You might have found success in a certain aspect of your life and would like to share it with the rest of the world for inspiration.
You can write about your journey of finding the love of your life or how you successfully overcame a fear you had. Make it personal so readers can relate.
- Collection Book
Do you have a hobby or interest that you would like to share with the world? The collection book takes information regarding a certain topic and condenses it into one location where it can be accessed easily.
An example is:
- A collection of the best marketing strategies for small businesses
The goal is to write a book that encompasses all the best information on a certain topic that is out in the market and condense it into one book.
- Short Stories
Writing a novel takes time and in many instances takes years to complete, but for aspiring writers starting out with a collection of fictional short stories can get your work out into the world much quicker.
Here you are flexible in terms of releasing one short story or a collection of short stories as one ebook.
Final Thoughts
Whatever ebook you decide to write it is inevitable that some planning and knowledge will have to go into the initial stages of preparing the book. Don’t be put off by the thought that it is a long winded and tiring process.
Writing one of the above mentioned types of ebooks can be a rewarding and fun experience that doesn’t need to take up too much of your time.
