Articles and ebooks have a lot in common. In fact, did you know that you can take just one article and turn it into a profitable ebook?

From article to ebook

Here are the four steps to turn just one article into a profitable ebook:

Step One - Write a 7 tips article - Choose a topic in your area of expertise and write 7 tips for that topic. Add just a few lines to each tip. If you have trouble coming up with seven, write as many as you can. The rest will come as you write.

Step Two - Take each tip and write a separate article for each Expand on what you wrote for each tip in your 7 tips article. Whatever you held back in the 7 tips article, now is the time to add it to each tip to turn each one into an article.

Step Three - Turn each new article into a chapter - Add some more information in the form of an example, case study, add a quote or two. You are basically doing a brain dump on that tip. Show off your expertise a bit.

Step Four - Write your introduction and conclusion - Write an introduction that draws the reader into the article and then write a conclusion that sums up your points and makes a call to action.

Yes there is quite a bit of detail involved in the process of turning an article into an ebook. It really does come down to these four simple yet powerful steps to turn just one article into a profitable ebook.
