Hey, you! Yes, YOU.

Sitting there with a head full of ideas and absolutely no clue how to get them into an e-book, let alone sell one.

You’ve been thinking about it forever — the half-written notes, the brilliant midnight thoughts, the daydreams about quitting your job and making millions from your laptop in a Bali hammock.
Well guess what?

It’s time to stop thinking and start DOING.
(Or at least, fake it really well until your e-book is live and making you money.)

Today, I’m walking you through how to write and sell your own e-book — in a way that’s actually fun, stupidly simple, and not boring like a college textbook.

Grab a coffee, cancel your 17th scroll of Instagram, and let’s freaking GO.

Step 1: Pick a Topic You Can’t Shut Up About

If you’re bored writing it, your readers will be comatose reading it.
Pick something you could rant about for 45 minutes straight without needing a sip of water.

Ask yourself:

• What do people always ask me for advice about?
• What topic makes me sound like I’ve had 3 Red Bulls when I talk about it?
• If I had to write a TED talk tomorrow, what would it be?

👉 Pro tip: Go niche. “How to meal prep like a savage” > “Healthy living tips.”

Bottom line: Pick something you’re OBSESSED with. Passion is the gasoline.
No passion = no sales. Period.

Step 2: Outline Like Your Life Depends On It

No, you cannot “just wing it.”
Winging it is why you have 27 Google Docs named “Ebook Draft FINAL FINAL (2).”

Here’s a ridiculously simple outline formula:

1. Introduction: Why they should care.
2. Pain Point: What’s wrong with their life right now (and how you’re going to save them).
3. Big Juicy Solutions: Your chapters = your solutions.
4. Takeaway: Wrap it up, superhero style.
5. Call to Action: (Spoiler alert: SELL THEM SOMETHING ELSE.)

Think of it like building Ikea furniture — if you skip steps, you’ll end up with a book that looks like a sad, angry chair.

Step 3: Write Like You Talk

Please, for the love of WiFi, do NOT turn into a weird formal robot when you write.

Bad Example:

“In this compendium of health advice, we shall embark on a journey of—”

Good Example:

“Here’s how to not totally suck at meal prepping.”

Unless you’re writing for Harvard Law Review (and you’re not), write like you’re texting your best friend.

This builds trust.
Trust builds loyalty.
Loyalty builds SALES.
Simple.

Step 4: Edit Like a Savage

First draft? Trash it.
Second draft? Cry a little.
Third draft? NOW we’re talking.

Editing tips to make your book not suck:

• Cut the fluff. (If you can say it in 4 words, don’t use 12.)
• Read it OUT LOUD. (If you sound like a confused alien, fix it.)
• Get a ruthless friend to read it. (No, not your mom. She’ll lie to you.)

Remember:
Done is better than perfect.
“Perfect” is where dreams go to die.

Step 5: Make It Look Sexy

You don’t need to drop $1,000 on a designer, but your e-book needs to NOT look like a 2002 PowerPoint.

Must-haves:

• A clean, readable font.
• Big headings. Bullet points. White space.
• A simple cover that doesn’t scream “I made this in Microsoft Paint.”

👉 Tools you can use:

• Canva (drag and drop like a boss)
• Vellum (for formatting if you’re fancy)

First impressions matter. If it looks janky, nobody’s whipping out their credit card.

Step 6: Choose Where to Sell It

Good news:
You don’t need Amazon’s approval to sell your e-book anymore.
You are the boss. You are Beyoncé now.

Here are your options:

• Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (if you want HUGE reach)
• Gumroad (if you want EASY and CONTROL)
• Shopify (if you already have products and a website)
• Your own dang website (because why not?)

Pro Tip:
Start where your audience ALREADY hangs out. No need to build Rome and an audience from scratch.

Step 7: Launch Like It’s a Concert Tour

Post it once and hope?

Nope.
You need to LAUNCH that thing like you’re Beyoncé dropping a surprise album.

Pre-launch:

• Tease it. Hype it.
• Build an email list (even if it’s your mom and 3 coworkers).

Launch week:

• Post daily. (YES, DAILY.)
• Share behind the scenes.
• Offer bonuses for fast action.

Post-launch:

• Don’t ghost your readers. Keep the momentum rolling with emails, social posts, or even mini-courses.

Moral of the story: SELLING IS SERVICE.

If your book can help someone?
You owe it to them to shout about it.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Quit After One E-Book

One e-book is cute.
Two e-books is a business.
Three e-books is an empire.

Once you do it once, do it again — faster, smarter, better.
Learn. Pivot. Grow. (And make that sweet, sweet passive income.)

Listen, there are people out there right now googling exactly what you know.
They’re looking for YOU.

Not some boring, corporate version.
YOU — with your weird jokes, random wisdom, and one-of-a-kind brain.

So stop overthinking. Start writing.
Your future readers (and your bank account) are waiting.
