The ideas flow

I've been noting down ideas for my ebook all week, some of them have been swirling around in my head for ages and some are brand new! All are within my broad areas of knowledge. I counted and I have about 10 possible ideas, they are all very broadly in the marketing, networking, social media and digital publishing arena. I love books and research so that's coming into it somewhere too!!

Well, reading that it looks like I might be going to write more than one book then!!! Yes, I do hope so :-)

How to choose?

Some of the questions I've been asking myself:

• I have lots of ideas but which one will I actually go with? 
• Do I combine some?
• Do I write one long book or several shorter ones, or a mixture?
• Which will sell?
• What really speaks to me?
• Is there a gap in the market?
• Do I know enough about the topic to write a good book?
• Is there already a book out there that does the job?

So my next step is to do my research and find out the answer to some of those questions. The very first one I must consider though is:

Do I want to write the book?

If I can't answer YES the that idea bites the dust!

Next for me

I need to spend a little time on each idea to see which might work for me and will potentially have a market. That means asking myself lots of questions and doing some market research.

The research aspect of the ideas at this initial stage is to take me beyond what I already know!

All of the ideas I have fit with my experience and knowledge base so that is not an issue - I discounted ones which didn't at the outset!

A quick look at what "eBook ~ Idea to best seller" is all about.

What's all this about then?

I will track my journey through writing my book here, from the ideas stage, through drafting & editing to publishing & marketing.

A few things about me to put me into context a little:

• I am not currently a published book author.
• I have been blogging for many years
• I am a businesses owner
• I love writing
• I live in the UK

While this blog is about my journey writing, publishing and selling my own book (books maybe!) there will be much of benefit here for writers, authors and authorpreneurs. I will be sharing many hints and tips as I learn about them.

An eBook?

Why not just say a book? Well I'd love to see my book in pint eventually if that is what readers wanted but an ebook has many advantages for an individual who is undertaking a project on their own like me. The key thing to me being the accessibility of being able to publish the book in ebook format. I will be covering this a lot in future posts.!

What to expect

If it has to do with writing, ebooks or being an author in business you may well find it here! The concept and content of the blog will develop with me as I go on my journey.

Look forward to sharing my journey with you!
