Thanks for the feedback of the article! I appreciated it :- ) Writing a technical book is a nice experience if you feel confident. If you have the passion and dedication to write, it'll be a journey with the "side-effect" of earning exposure and if you're lucky, also money. But you should not write a technical book for money (set as the first goal). Marketing a book, especially a technical one, is difficult and requires time. Since most of the times it's suitable for a niche, you have to look for people and to explain why reading your book would be worth it. Does it contain any special feature that makes it unique? A particular focus? A well-written introduction? I'd like to discuss about the points you marked. "The best way to start a book is writing". When you have the inspiration of writing, it seems "you do not have to think too much about details, a possible outline". It's partially correct and wrong. On one hand, to publish a book, you need content and what's the best way to create content? Yes, it's writing! On the other hand, people are not looking at your book for "content", BUT for highly quality content. Thus, not only you have to write the content, you have also to think about the structure, the outline, the key-points, and many others element that keeps the reader "on" your book. |
