Quick start
- 1 Pick one specific problem your audience has — validate by checking existing ebook sales on Gumroad, Reddit questions, and Google search volume for the topic
- 2 Outline 5-7 chapters: each one should teach one concept and end with a concrete action step the reader can do immediately
- 3 Write in batches — draft the full content in Google Docs or Notion first, focusing on clarity over polish; aim for 8,000-15,000 words
- 4 Design in Canva or Figma using a consistent template: branded cover, chapter openers, callout boxes, and a clean body layout — then export as PDF
- 5 Set up your sales page with a compelling hook, table of contents preview, 2-3 sample pages as images, and a "what you'll learn" bullet list
