How to develop content that stand out. Before you start to write and research about the topics for your ebook, you need to identify first important things about your target audience. What exactly are they asking? What do they need? What do they look for? This is what we did in the last section.

Identify your focus. At this point, you should be able to tell what specific problems your target audience are seeking solutions about. By knowing this things. You are able to develop content that fits right to your audience needs. By doing this, you're sure that you're delivering what they need. They will seek out what you've got in your ebook and you're helping them know This is the content that your readers get excited about.

There are many ways we can do this type of research for your ebook, we're going to discuss three resources that you can use to develop in demand content for your audience. In this presentation, what we're going to do is first look at this resources that I'm going to show you. And then we're going to collect information and take notes. By the end of this lecture, I will show you the notes I've taken from this content research that we're about to do. Let's go ahead, similar to researching which topic to write your ebook about. We are looking back to Amazon Kindle.

Remember the best selling pieces in your topic. We are going back to this Books and we're going to take a look a little deeper on what specific areas they discussed in the book. We are going to use again the take a look inside feature of Amazon Kindle book. This is very cool because we can sneak through the chapters of these books. Remember, we are not here to copy We are here to gather ideas on what specifically to write about our ebook topic. I typed our topic in the Amazon search bar and click Search.

And this is what I got. We are going to take a look at the best sellers. These are ads, the one with sponsored so I would take a look at this one. The Productivity project, accomplishing more by managing your time, attention and energy While here, I'll click on look inside. I am looking for the table of contents. And there it is.

It's a little below the product description down below. Hear customer reviews, read what the customers are saying with these ratings. For example, six to 9% gave a five star review so if we click here we can see all these reviews According to this, there are 136 reviews that gave five star for this book. It's very useful reading all these reviews, because you'll never know what ideas you can take as topics for your E book.

For example, this reviewer is saying or suggesting something. I definitely suggest highlighting the E book and trying out many of the recommendations he suggests at the end of each chapter. I also recommend keeping a reflective journal about your productivity, and write about what's working and not working with your task management strategy. This is a good suggestion as you write your own topic. If you take this suggestion, you can take the next pages of your book as blank or just with lines leaving it to be a reflective journal. Can you see where I'm getting at?

So read as many reviews as you can and take the suggestions of these reviewers take note of what readers are saying their praises and negative comments, find out what they are this satisfied about the book. This information is really huge. What you're going to do is find out the answers to their questions to their dissatisfactions and deliver whatever it is they are commenting about, of course in your own ebook. The idea of this exercise is to pull out information from the very same audience that will read your book and add this information to your ebook about subtopics that you may have overlooked or discuss just briefly. So We're going to go back to our list here. You can do the same process to the next book that you found on the search, in this case, insane productivity for lazy people a complete system for becoming incredibly productive.
