Most publications or courses offer very little by way of “how” to write your piece. You might get a few tips and pointers, but what you need is a step-by-step guideline for actually taking you by the hand through a complete project, such as:
How to develop a writing style.
How to create an outline.
Who your target audience is and what appeals to them.
Fonts, font sizes and colors that work best for readability.
What eBook programs are good (and not so good).
How to create eCovers and why they are so important.
How to include photos, videos and audio.
How to light your subjects for the best appearance.
That is just a small sampling of what “How To Create Martial Arts eBooks” covers, and what most other “how to” publications do not address. Mastering these elements, however, will make or break a quality publication.
You will learn everything you need for designing the layout, what goes in to writing it, how to include photos, videos and audio, how to compile it, how to create eCovers, and also how to market and advertise it.
I also included some special bonus tutorials for many of these areas, as well as:
How to evaluate the finished product, and
How to understand a user’s perception of that product.
Through a specific evaluation process, you will learn the ins and outs of how to take a user’s feedback and improve your publication, as well as how it is presented. After all, you might want to make money writing it, but the information must first and foremost be of service to your readers. Without that, it will not last very long.
And with “How To Create Martial Arts eBooks“, you will have all of this information at your fingertips.
