If your ebook is an explanation of how to go about internet marketing you would be expected to provide some evidence that you are qualified to write on the subject. Nobody is going to take marketing advice from anybody who has never succeeded in internet marketing. Although it is not necessary to own a successful website dealing with the specific topic of your ebook, doing so would help to sell it.

Whatever the topic of your ebook is, your research must be adequate and thorough. If it is relevant to do so, you should always present two sides to every argument, and if you are using references to the work of other people you should include a reference list, normally at the end of the book. Plagiarism is a crime, and if you break copyright law you are liable to prosecution. Do not, therefore, present any material as your own if it is not. It is permissible to include such material in your ebook as long as you provide credit to the originator.

Your research can be carried out in libraries and on the internet, and if you can add anything new to the topic then that would be an advantage and a good selling point. Once you think that you have enough material for a book, start writing. You should check your spelling regularly and also your grammar. It helps to set your spell checker to also check grammar if possible since , if your grammar is poor, you are not going to be able to improve it just to write an ebook. Grammar checkers can help to an extent but are by no means comprehensive.

Plan your chapters. Do not make the mistake that many do and try to 'wing it'. Good planning is essential for a good ebook. Break your topic down into sections then write on each section, one at a time. Each section of your book might be covered by more than one chapter. For example, if you are writing an ebook on internet marketing, your sections would include website design, promotion, etc. Your promotion section would include chapters on pay per click advertising, article writing and so on.

Once you have finished each chapter, go over it with a spell checker then leave it a day or so. Go onto the next chapter, and return to the previous one after a while to re-read it. Correct any errors and rewrite it if it does not read well to you. Work on one chapter at a time according to your plan.

Eventually all of the chapters and sections will be finished. You may then complete your ebook by adding any references you used, a contents list if you need one, a disclaimer if you need one and a bit about yourself. You may also have to work out a price if it is not to be given free to your prospects, though pricing is another subject.

That is how to write a quality ebook. Ebook creation is about planning and research. The most successful ebooks contain some original information, or a new twist on existing information, but many are also successful that simply provide information on a subject that is useful to people who know little about it. Keep checking your spelling and have somebody else read it over for you that you know will be honest, and you should do just fine.
