In the end, the question of how long your eBook should be—whether by word count or page count—isn’t really about finding the “perfect length,” but rather about deciding how much value you want to whatsapp china number (or can deliver) through the eBook.

You’ll know your eBook is done once you’ve checked all of the boxes for your primary goals—and feel confident you’re providing something of substance to readers. Just be sure this game plan ladders up to accomplishing your greater blogging goals, too.

4. Pick the Right File Format for Your eBook
Choosing the right file format to deliver your eBook in, is a bit of a technical decision, but a pretty simple one at that.

There are five main file formats that you’ll want to consider saving your eBook in… but regardless of how you format your finalized eBook, I always recommend writing your eBook in a (free) Google Doc—as opposed to a Microsoft Word document, because the file will constantly be saved to your (free) Google Drive cloud storage as you write it.

The major benefit to writing your eBook in a Google Doc is that you won’t lose your only copy of your eBook-in-progress if your computer crashes or gets stolen. Plus, you’ll be able to share your eBook with any collaborators or editors you’re working with, as the writing process unfolds and you’ll all be able to make revisions, add comments & ask questions right inside the living document.

Now, before talking about the finalized file formats you’ll want to familiarize yourself with, let’s cover a few key terms to understand that go along with eBook formatting:

What is Digital Rights Management?
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a term you’ll most likely come across while learning how to write an eBook—and it has to do with the copyright access of your eBook.

DRM is put in place so that only people who have rightfully gained access to your eBook (i.e. purchased it or signed up for your email newsletter) are legally granted access to see it. In most cases, once a person has purchased your eBook, they’re allowed to view the contents of it.

The specifications of your DRM can also limit where the content of your eBook can be viewed. For example, if you buy an eBook on Amazon, you’ll likely only be able to view it on your Kindle device or with a Kindle app on an iPhone or iPad, for example. That’s Amazon’s own form of DRM in place, which makes eBooks sold on their platform very secure compared to the alternative of selling eBooks in PDF format to your blog audience.

For most eBook authors (like myself) who are selling eBooks at a relatively low price point ($7 to $15) directly to readers, or simply giving away most eBooks as lead magnets to promote my blog and build relationships with my readers—a simple copyright statement clarifying ownership of the eBook within the first few pages and a reminder in the footer on all pages of your eBook, is usually enough of a DRM statement.
