Why Proofreading An eBook Is Very Important

by Leave a Comment

Proofreading an eBook will reveal spelling mistakes, bad sentences, and typos in your book.After taking several months to read, proofread, and proofread Honest Ways To Make Money Online, I decided that it was finally time to publish the eBook. As a new author who wanted to see results, I knew that by publishing more eBooks, I would get better results. As a result, I wanted to publish as many eBooks as I possibly could. I rushed through Keep The Ball Rolling, and it ended up being only 20 pages. That taught me to slow down my frequency so I could write longer, higher quality eBooks.

Looking back at Keep The Ball Rolling, I knew that I could do a better job at relaying the information to my readers and giving them the motivation they needed to finish their eBook ideas. I did proofread for bad sentences, typos, and spelling errors, but I did not proofread thinking that I could add more content and make the message clearer for my readers. That was the big mistake I made as a rookie writer. I also knew that instead of thinking about my mistakes and lamenting over them, I could make a change. It was at that moment when I decided I would proofread all of Keep The Ball Rolling and provide more content for my readers.

I decided that within a week, I would have Keep The Rolling updated on Kindle so that it would reflect the changes that I made. Within the first hour of typing, I got Keep The Ball Rolling from 8,000 words to over 10,000 words. All I did was proofread the book with the mindset that I could add extra content anywhere in the book. By adding extra content to Keep The Ball Rolling, I was able to provide more content for my readers. You can see the updated Keep The Ball Rolling here.

There are two lessons that you need to learn from my story. The first lesson is that proofreading an eBook is very important. However, when you proofread a book, don’t just check for spelling mistakes, typos, and bad sentences. Check for ways to add more content to your eBook. The second lesson is that not all mistakes are final. Publishing a ridiculously short book was a mistake. Now, Keep The Ball Rolling has a lot more content, and I am happier with where Keep The Ball Rolling is now than where it was when I published it.

 

One Simple Tip To Come Up With More Things To Write About

by 8 Comments

One of the problems many bloggers face is writer’s block. I have talked about combatting writer’s block before, but I recently stumbled across a simple way to come up with more things to write about.

A big mistake a lot of bloggers make is to simply think of an idea, and start writing about that idea as soon as they think about it. For the first time ever, I was able to write and schedule 10 blog posts on the same day. I did not do this by thinking of an idea and writing about it as soon as possible.

What I did instead was think of an idea, write the title for that blog post, and then tried to think of another idea. I ended up thinking of 10 different ideas for blog posts. Instead of rushing into writing one of my blog posts, I thought of 10 different ideas first. Then, I wrote all 10 of those blog posts in 1 day.

In order to think of more things to write about, you can’t simply think of one idea and write about it. You need to think of multiple ideas first and then write about those ideas one at a time. By following this method, you will be able to find more things to write about so you have less encounters with writer’s block.
