Chapter 1: The Challenges of eBook Writing
Have you ever wondered what the most difficult aspect of writing an eBook is? Surprisingly, it isn't about selecting a topic or designing the book. The real challenge lies in elaborating on the subject matter while ensuring that both the content and structure are cohesive.
My journey as an eBook author began in February 2022. Initially released under the title "Health and Wealth-iness," I have since rebranded and revised it multiple times, with the latest update in May 2024. Although the core concept remains intact, my approach to structuring and expanding upon the topics has evolved significantly.
To be candid, I had no solid plan when I started this project. Writing was not on my agenda for that year, and I had no prior experience in crafting eBooks. However, I remembered the success I had garnered from Twitter threads, free PDF guides, and weekly blog posts, which had earned me recognition among my peers and clients.
Soon after launching H&W, I began creating flyers with QR codes to promote my book, strategically placing them in cafes, health-related venues, and even gas stations. Ultimately, I sold a modest total of four copies that year, including one to the HR director at my workplace.
As much as I dreamt of overnight success, the reality was more subdued. At that time, I lacked a substantial social media presence—my only platform was YouTube, where my fitness videos didn't quite resonate with my target audience, resulting in slow traction. My primary support came from a Discord group focused on cryptocurrency.
While selling four books in a year may not seem impressive, it is a respectable achievement considering the vast number of writers who never earn a dime from their work. Often, the problem isn't the content itself but rather how it's presented.
In rebranding what is now titled "The Gym System: Shape Your Fitness and Personal Finance Mindset," I aimed to focus more on imparting insights rather than simply trying to entertain or amuse the reader. A good book engages its audience—if someone is genuinely interested in a topic and finds the content relatable and coherent, they will likely engage with it.
#TheGymSystem begins with practical tips for gym planning and addresses the mental hurdles that often impede progress. As the narrative unfolds, it explores the connection between fitness and financial goals, offering actionable advice for managing personal finances.
Understanding my message and how to convey it effectively made a significant difference in the development of #TheGymSystem. Are you ready to take charge of your mindset and actions concerning fitness and financial matters?
