One method to help make your eBook successful is to use essential "Seven Hot-Selling Points."

Seven Things to do Before Writing Your eBook

Every part of your book can be a sales tool. When you include below tips, you'll sell more books than you ever dreamed of.

1. Write for your one preferred audience. Not everyone wants your book. Find out what audience wants/needs your book? What problems does your book solve for them? Create an audience profile and keep your audience's picture in front of you as you write. Ask yourself, is my topic narrow enough? The Chicken Soup For The Teenager, For The Prisoner, and other specific groups sold far more copies than original Chicken Soup.
