Sample Content Preview

Chapter II: Reader-Oriented: Your New Mantra
Identifying the audience is one of the most important aspects of writing. Before you start writing, you need to know who exactly you are writing for. In other words, you want to narrow everything down and arrive at a point where you can start focusing the content of your eBook.
8 The Kindle Profit System Writing For a Specific Audience
Identifying your audience makes your book more manageable. It also gives a huge advantage when it comes to marketing. Once this is out of the way, you can start ticking off items on a checklist. The following is a sample format you can use. However, it is up to you to decide which ones are relevant and which ones are not.
o Age
o Background Experience o Depth of Topic
o Economic Status o Education
o Ethnicity o Familiarity o Gender
o Location o Profession o Interests
o Loyalty to your writing
Every decision you make about your book will be based on these criteria. This includes vocabulary, sentence structure, tone, humor and imagery among others. In short, the content of your eBook should be done with your audience in mind.
After you start with your eBook, it is a good idea to keep this checklist as you progress. See if are still focused on writing for your selected audience based on the items on your list. If so then keep doing what you are doing. If not, you want to make the necessary changes to stay on track.
As you can see, this means that you have to do a lot of research before starting your eBook. This is best done during the planning phase where everything is still being laid out. Writing for a specific audience also increases your chances at success. This is why it is so important to spare some effort and time into making sure that your eBook is focused.
Potential eBook Readers
Five years ago, no one would have known what an eBook was. This is how new his concept is. As such, eBook readers belong to the younger crowd of Generations X and Y. More often than not, these are the people who grew up with technology as their playmate.
Your audience then is technologically savvy and used to the on-the-go modern lifestyle.
If you are writing an eBook aimed at young adults in their early 20’s, there is a good chance that it will do well in the Kindle bookstore. A large number of this crowd does their shopping online anyway. They are more likely to turn towards their mobile devices to read this content as well.
Conversely, an eBook aimed at an older audience may not enjoy as much success. Writing about popular activities after retirement may be profitable in bookstores but it may stagnate online.
This is another good reason for identifying your audience. It lets you see if your eBook idea will flourish or bomb. Many experts believe that this generation gap is set to disappear eventually. For the meantime it is there and you have to consider this in your decision. Five years ago, no one would have known what an ebook is, this is how new this concept is.
Chapter III: Niche vs. Mainstream:
Finding the Balance

Going Deep with Niches
Writing for a niche audience is a good thing because of the profit potential involved. More often than not, the information you need to present here is very specific. Details are very much needed which means a lot of research is required.
