I Wrote a Failed Fitness eBook so You Don’t Have To
6 mistakes you can avoid.
There are an estimated 48.5 million eBooks on Amazon, and I thought my short fitness book would be a breakout star.
Who was I kidding?
Just myself I guess. The only thing I did right was write the damn thing. Everything else is up for debate.
I will say that I’m proud of myself for writing a 35 page eBook. I hadn’t done anything like that before. It was a satisfying challenge for a recent graduate.
It takes a certain motivation to craft a self-published book.
The problem was that I wasn’t motivated for the right reason. My book lacked some major components that any helpful eBook should have. As a result, I sold five copies (my mom bought one) before begrudgingly taking the eBook off Amazon.
Have I written a successful eBook since? No.
Can you learn from my mistakes? Absolutely.
I’ll detail my misconceptions and offer some quick fixes that’ll help you write a more engaging eBook than I did.
