How to Write an Ebook on Canva and AI in Less Than 24 Hours - Step-by-Step Checklist & Instructions
I got to get this written down, before I forget. Has this happened to you? You are looking at the result of one late night when I had an idea for a book or ebook. I decided to record it on a voice recorder app on my phone, then that is the origin of Ebook Assistant. There is more to the story, and I hope to share it later, yet also I have to give credit to a video I watched that encouraged me to take action on this, and it ended with this saying, "enough thinking about it, just go do it". I did and now we have Ebook Assistant. I hope you enjoy today's blog and podcast. I love to hear (signals) from you, so please like, follow, share, and comment - even message me at our site ebookassistant dot com if you like. Now, enough thinking, just go do it....
About this Post
Why stay until the end? Stay because you will like what I have to give you, please stay, or save or download this now; so that you can refer back to it for years. Share it on your social media. Here is the link to copy to your Social Media posts: https://howtowriteanebook.blog/{Post Name}
Terminology and Jargon: You will learn these and much more
proofreading - draft - Canva - AI - Beta-Reader - Bard - ChatGPT
Good to Take Notes of These Because You Will Use Them ....
Start Somewhere
Write it, Record it in audio or video on your phone, write it on a piece of cardboard from a container you are putting in the trash, or sit down at your computer and type it. Just get it down and take action now, or reserve a day this week or weekend to start.
Direct Your Sail Boat - Mind Setting and Mindset
Set your mind on this: You Can Do This! I believe in you. Write down on a piece of paper something like the, 'I will have my ebook online for sale by tomorrow, and then I will promote it and I will earn money from the sales of my ebook in a month or less'
Do this, it does wonders for your chances of succeeding. Then understand that Setting your Sail Boat direction is pointing yourself in the right direction to achieve landing at your goal, and I have gladly provided a well-planned map for you. Just read until the end and save it to your bookmarks - favorites or download it.
Meditation - Thankfulness - Calmness, & Prayer
No special instructions really here, it is just something that most people overlook. Do these things above, and the better you ask for prayer to God for success than not, even if you do not believe in God, i think you will be glad to have God on your side. Be thankful for your opportunity to do this. Meditate or just quietly focus a few minutes, and do some things that allow you to be calm. I turn down the lights and play some water sounds from YouTube sometimes as I write.
Go to Your Happy Place
Try to get to a quiet place you can write. I know of friends that have their office in their closet, and one that has an office the size of a phone booth (look it up if you do not know what a phone booth is, it is small). I saw it, and it was amazing. Worst case, if you have a loud home, you may have to sit in the bathroom, or in a car. I see people often film YouTube videos from their car, so you would not be the first to have to do this. When you are filming or recording it is required to have quiet. It is very important to you, and it is okay to talk aloud to yourself or ideas.
Go to where you can get your ebook writing done with quietness, focus, without restriction on your emotions, and thoughts.
The Idea
This is the most important part. It is the seed your ebook masterpiece grows from. Protect it and expand it. It will be a complete ebook soon. You will be able to share your idea and influence improvement in complete strangers, while earning.
Outline (The First Draft of Table of Contents)
How will you record it: pen/pencil paper, typewriter (explain for younger audience), phone voice recorder (app suggestion), word processor Google Dogs
Cover - Make it Now or at End -
I do recommend Canva.com for your cover creation. Just search for ebook cover once you login with your free login. I would recommend editing an existing cover. I usually just use a cover that gets my attention over all others. I try to imitate some cover that comes from a bestselling book that I see when searching for bestselling book book covers. I just use there idea as inspiration for mine, and I do not use the same cover idea. An example is if a top book has a all white modern background with one big word on it. I may use that same idea, and the word will be different and it may be in different colors. Remember you have to be 31 percent different to avoid copyright errors.
Research - How to Do
Keep it simple and this will work for every book you ever write. Look up the top listings, sort by page views or likes, for at least a month in history, and write on what they talk or write about - do not copy , just write on similar topic, even same name, if it is something that is common like: how to use Google docs for example . Although you can make your name better, by adding some good things and combining with things others are talking of in their posts or videos
Record it - Document it
again, How will you record it: pen/pencil paper, typewriter (this is the thing that we made books with before computers, it has a keyboard and a piece of paper that comes out just above the keyboard), phone voice recorder (app suggestion), word processor Google Dogs
Get it in Writing - Write It - Use AI ChatGPT or Bard
If this is your first use of ChapGPT or Bard A.I. (artificial intelligence, yet i prefer assisted intelligence); you are in for a treat. It is like searching on Google, yet, you just say things (called Prompts). An example is "tell me a list of 5 books about writing I should read" or "write me 10 titles for a book about romance that is set in Paris" . It will give you some amazing results. Go here to get a free account and get started in the A.I. age of enlightment:
ChatGPT: https://openai.com > Menu > "Try ChatGPT"
Bard: https://bard.google.com > Login with a Google account
PROMPT
"Give me a name for a new ebook about succeeding in writing ebooks" (check this on yours, you probably will get the same response, although it may not be the first respons. I tried this with a video I saw of someone in another country and I did get same response)
Example, Created by Bard: (first result response to prompt)
(result) From Blank Page to Bestseller: The No-Nonsense Guide to E-book Success
Same Example by ChatGPT: (first result response to prompt)
(result) Wordsmith's Triumph: Mastering the Art of Ebook Success
So, you see, probably not the title you would have written.
Let's say you wrote your idea on a napkin at lunch, now you need to get it in computer file on your word processor. If you recorded with voice recorder app for Google, then you can just export, or save the transcript to Google Drive or Docs. (explain More)
Summarize (This is Great for All, and Not Done by Many)
Simple - Just cover again the main big points that you talked of. Basically if you talked of 20 points, then you can summarize them all in 5 to 7 big sections. This meaning that your outline can be 10 to 20 points, yet it should be divided into about 5 to 7 bigger headings that contain these 10 to 20 points or sub-sections
Edit it and Add Your Style to it
Now Edit (cleaning for authors and writers): and Keep Your Style or Add your new style. I suggest this order of editing: Spell Check, Grammer Check, Add Paragraph every 5 to 7 Lines (where thoughts change), and Add SEO (keywords) use Find and Replace (explain)
ReRead it (Proofreading, Format, Cover, Guest Reader)
Fast Feedback is Good (remember you only have 24-hours) [Click Here to Go to Our Feedback Request on our Support Page]
I am sure you will get at least one feedback. Send me, gj, a message at ebookassitant.com/contact and say in the message "i need fast feedback". You see you already have a dependable virtual ebook assistant to help with writing ebooks.
Check your format and add Section Bold Headings, as I have here, if you like. Done is better that perfect, just get it done. You will price it cheap enough, so that the information is most important - not every detail.
Cover - Make sure it good and looks like something that is a successful ebook or book. Search Google for best sellers, and look at the Image results. Pick the one that stands on the page, and imitate that style
Guest reader, Beta Reader - A beta-reader is the B reader or second reader of your ebook. They can read it and give you notes on changes and fixes. Preferably a friend, Post a entry on Facebook and ask for a few readers to message you for a free copy (2 at most, I guess because of time constraint) and turn away the others. Say in the post you are only accepting two, so act fast, because you have a deadline of 2 to 4 hours. Implement fixes that are suggested and are appropriate.
Post it to Internet for Sale
I suggest Etsy (0.20$ per posting) or Free, Amazon KDP, Gumroad, or Ecwid (the last 3 are free) - Contact us for help - https://ebookassistant.com/contact
Market and Promote it
Social Media, I prefer Pinterest, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts or Videos - in this order. Just post about your creation. I suggest pages from your ebook pictures (use screen shot or screen capture it is on your phone or computer), cover pictures, videos, how-to's, short videos of you or words on a presentation videos use Canva, and why you want to help them as content.
Share it on video if you like. The key here is to post daily for weeks afterward. If you found your passion (the thing you would write on even when you do not want to write) then posting will be great.
Setup a free ConvertKit account and make a Landing Page. Give them a one-page summary of your book for signing up on your landing page or some useful checklist. Put this link as the link they buy from (if you use it), and make the link shorter by using site TinyURL.com.
Get Sales -How to Write a Ebook that Sells
Make sure you include a link to two places to buy it. I suggest one place to buy as Amazon, then I suggest two being a free one or Etsy. I say this because if for some reason Amazon closes your account, you need a backup. Really it is better practice to have both Amazon and one other.
Now What - Expectations
You can expect to feel drained from writing. It takes much out of you, and it expands your thinking. You can expect to have mixed feelings or success from writing, then maybe sadness if you do not get sales or "signals" from the Internet. Signals are some one liking your content on social media, or comment on your posts. It takes a week or so. Stay in it and post daily. It will happen. Stay small, do not try to do everything. Only have at most 2 of each social media, sales pages, etc. AND please do contact us at Ebook Assistant to get help, proofreading or evaluation of your work before posting, technical help, and/or if we need to explain something further or edit this post
Article Summary
We have here about 15 points that basically are in about 4 main sections: The Idea and Mindset, Writing the Book, Placing Online to Sell, and Marketing and Promotion. You will do good to follow this outline, and add to it as-needed. Make sure you do some mindset preparations, and train on AI with the help of YouTube videos. It will greatly improve your ebooks and save you much time. Implement Canva not only for covers, also try to use Canva to do the entire book. Canva also make video easy, so you can make video in Canva to produce your marketing and promotional content. AI is the future, so learning it now will be great for you. And your AI books will be using the latest technology while also improving with the expanded knowledge AI can add to your ebooks.
Congratulations - All of That in 1 day is a Large Accomplishment
Do not worry - Do it in a Weekend, or A Week if you Want - And View Videos on YouTube for direction, just try not to sit and scroll videos to long. If you focus for 1 full day on only this, you will be done. And have confidence to write more while promoting on social media.
Do all of this and you will have become a published author, or if you are already a published author you have a really useful checklist and you may write and publish your first book in one day. Hopefully you will get sales in one day. If so, and any other great things happen - please Comment or Message Us!

What is an ebook 'market' and more about 'average' ebook sales
..We are in the ebook store .. this is the market ,, i speak of.. ..I am are saying that this is only ebooks and we do also work in digital products books and other downloads of printables that are in electronic form, and ebooks is our primary market. Just like in a bookstore, we provide the other things that ebook readers want.
I want you understand average sales is is not every ebook, meaning it's not every ebook that gets produced produces sales. I think every ebook that is offered for sale wil get some sales. that is an average.
A high end of average I think is selling about 300 ebooks. There seems to be a 3 to 4 segments of sales and these are: a few sales meaning less than 10. , those that get hundreds, those that get thousands, and those that get 100,000 plus..
And you may not believe this, or have thought of it - as I see it the quality of books in all of these segments of sales can be almost exactly the same. One of differences ,, the things that will get you more sales is proper techniques in telling others about your book - this process called ebook marketing.
Find out more when you take a look at our Blog. See it by going to ebook assistant dot com, and looking at the BLOG link in the upper right. Do send us a Contact message and let us know you will be visiting us for advising and useful info to help with writing ebooks and selling ebooks.

4 million Ebooks Released Yearly. Reasons a FREE Assistant Helps you Win!
4 million ebooks produced yearly. This is the reason to hire Ebook Assistant. I don't know if you thought about the reason why you come here, but a good reason might be you want to stand out in that sea of ebooks that is being produced each year. And on average out of those 4 million books each book gets about three hundred sales. so if we do the math 4 million * 300 meaning take two zeros off 300 and at it for a million and then multiply three times four we get 12 three times four only had a million before as their base now we got 100 million it seems to me 1.2 billion in ebook sales in the ebook Market each year or at least last year's numbers. so you want to stand out in that market the market is ebooks in other words that's if you were going to a big building and they have different stores for each type Product Where in the ebook store okay and so few ask us what ourselves were for the year we're talking about we would say 1.2 million dollars of ebooks we sold. and we are saying that this is only ebooks not digital products not books and not other downloads of printables that are in electronic form, just ebooks.
 so yeah 1.2 billion in sales let's do another math problem and easier one I think if each book gets an average of 300 sales out of those 4 million that's an average, and I want you understand average is not every meaning it's not every ebook that gets produced makes 300 in sales. that's an average is when you take the total number what is 400 here and to get the average sales you just put in the number of total cells there were which is 4 million and you divide it by the number that were sold. so we could say 1.2 billion / 4 million and that should give us 300. that's what an average is what we're looking at here is now our subject in this paragraph is 300 sales for an ebook and to get the answer to the question how much money would I make off of that, how much money would you make if you made the average 300 sales of your ebook.
I might put two scenarios here the average scenario and the worst scenario, and anything else is good if you do better than average then you're doing better than these numbers. and my mention also a real good result. The profit calculations and scenarios will be near the end, so closely follow this story until the end, AND, make sure you SAVE it, SHARE it, FOLLOW us, and COMMENT because we want to be here and cheer for you!
You will find great reasons for you to write ebooks and sell them, and ultimately I want you to hire us as your ebook assistant. And we work for free everyday and every eventing helping you and many others succeed in writing ebooks and selling ebooks.It's not easy to learn how to write an ebook, it's not easy to learn how to sell ebooks; and it is much easier when you have an assistant, your ebook assistant - Ebook assistant.com, that is where you can sign up to have a free assistant, and there are many benefits let's just start with the biggest benefit this day and other days we'll talk about the others and this may not be the biggest benefit to you but it is a big benefit. benefit of working with ebook assistant.com is you benefit from the from other people's success we look at we're not only Riders and trying to succeed in writing ourselves as you can see in our shop and our new navigation buttons in the upper right you can see that we share information that we learned to increase our sales and audience of readers and we share information we learn from others ebook authors that are really succeeding in finding readers and earning from the writing of ebooks.
At this time we see eBooks in a few ways in our Internet site and our social media is pretty much focused on seeing it this way you can want to be an ebook writer, and you can want to have an ebook writing business. and that's basically the two paths we're focusing on with https://ebookassistantcom. and ebookassistant.com we want to be there all the time when you need real information that you get nowhere else about how to write ebooks. you want to know when you're creating ebooks how to succeed with the fewest steps and the best information possible, and  and that's what we plan to provide on eBook assistant.com will you learn how to write and sell ebooks. so go on over to the ebookassistant.com site now, and click on the link that says blah blah blah, and enter your email and your first name and just let us know that you're one that we are working with you to help you succeed in writing ebooks. and important thing is follow us on social media, and share with your friends and family that also write ebooks, and interact and comment on those if you want to say something publicly, but if you need to have a private advisory session or just have a quick question, all you need to do is go to the contact Link in the upper right on ebookassistant.com and you'll find somebody anxious to help you with your questions and provide you how to set up a free advisory call or video call. so that's some of the great benefits and reasons why you should continue to write ebooks if you found it to be your passionate, and also some of the facts of the earnings that you can have writing ebooks.
so I think I kind of promised or left something unanswered here so I need to do that I need to sum that up so let's do that and then you'll be excited to find out at least a good fact that's on solid information and is something that you can if you want to tell those people that discourage you from writing. you might not even want to tell them though cuz they they won't understand no matter what you do go to or bad, sigh.
 so if you sell 300 books this is the thing that I didn't sum up I have to tell you at least two scenarios if you're selling through some things like the world's largest book Store that sells everything also. as far as I can tell they have two models and the numbers are generally correct and it's easier on math but I know that 70% if you keep your price between 99 Cents and $9.99 and so that means if you sell your book for $5 you'll get 70% of that in payment. and if you're outside this price range in other words you're you sell your ebook for $20, you'll get 30% return on that or profit so that means you sell your book for $20 divided by three or 30% I'm just going to do it off top of my head it's about $7 you'll get in return for selling a $20 book. so quick recap of that you'll get 70% of $5 which says And my mouth here I'm saying that you would get about 3.50 dollars in US dollars for your $5 book and you'll get about $7 for your $20 book. if you're trying to earn the most profit the $20 book is the way to go. and I don't have proof of this but if you're trying to get more sales and Theory the $5 book with our new about $3.50; a difference of $1.50
     And so, Pretty much the other method is if you want to sell your book yourself. this is pretty much what is called self-publishing I guess publishing with Amazon is kind of hybrid self-publishing. You can be a published author once you publish your ebook to your own place to sell. I'll give you two choices here Gum Road and ecwid Ecwid.  I think these are both free to use without signing up with a credit card, and you can have a store Page there and even a little bit more than just one page, but at least all you really need is the store page that will accept payments.  so, set up your product one or both of those Pages,  I recommend just one because of ease of use.  and make sure that you put in your file that they will get as a download when they purchase, and also a contact email address for yourself. and as you may see so far you've spent nothing except to write the book and, you can publish them guide book as little as 5 or 10 pages. even less than that you do some kind of very viable one to two page guide or outline that people really need. so now you have your book set up with a page that accepts card payments, and you put on the link to your document in the don't leave it out on the page somewhere put it in the in the you know sales page that they can get the download document after they buy. then to complete the process of being ready to sell your ebook, you just need to have a place to let people know that you have any book for sale. again one place is good and what this place is a social media it could be facebook, tiktok, Instagram, or Pinterest. I recommend these social medias for doing promotions of your ebook, and I believe that one and or two is a good place to be to start. the real Focus you should have is getting an audience, and the quickest one usually is tick tock followed by Pinterest and I don't even have much advice on Facebook or Instagram other than their feature Rich they have a lot of things that you can do on them. but I would suggest starting with Tick Tock and Pinterest. 
 so it's time to summarize this and bring it to an end for the day. we went through the steps of understanding why we would write ebooks the reasons that we could find about writing ebooks, and a helpful tutorial on how to write and publish your ebook today if you already have a book finished, and you can produce any book in one day keep it to 10 pages I suggest and get started. once you have the ebook for sale and you have the link and you have a social media page, just post to that social media  10 times per day. and here's a little helpful thing, search for your topic whether it be just ebook luckily it will be something like romancy book, how to ebook for cooking chili and these are good examples of how to search so search on the social media that you're on and posting to you, and then get these results and just the top two to five submissions that are getting the most visits, little helpful hint you can sort by number of visits instead of just relevant, hit the little button that looks like little horizontal lines with circles on them I think come in the search results and change it to you views - Then again don't try to copy the content but the general idea of what they're saying kind of make your take on that same headline, and even kind of just notice all the details you can and not telling you to copy but telling you to be in that same conversation with a very similar look and feel. in other words this is about how you're doing it, you know you don't if they're doing just their face and captions on the screen and that's getting successful views, you don't need to go do some high production video that'll take hours. or if they did do a high production video, just do the same topic and very similar wording, but just do captions on a screen with your face or some graphics that are relevant to what you're doing.
 I hope this helps. there's lots of good information here information for the reason why to do ebooks, and also information on how to do ebooks. you're really fine this much good information in one article. so make sure you follow us, make sure you go over to the contact us page, it's the contact link on https://ebookassistant.com and leave us a message. just tell him thank you for the good content and thanks for  being your a book assistant. that would be a much appreciated message.
