    About this ebook

    I recently read that over 80% of people in the U. S. want to write a book but most of them don’t do it. I was one of those, but I finally decided to sit down and write, publish, and market my first e-book. I want to share my successes and my mistakes with you to encourage you to get started and to be as efficient as you can be in the three major processes, Write, Publish, and Market. Like me, you probably have a message that you want to share with the world. This is your way to get started. It’s free, easy, and thrilling. Go for it.

    Bobby Everett Smith

    Bobby Everett Smith www.bobsmithsblog.comBobby Everett Smith is an American author of fiction and non-fiction essays, short stories and novels, and the publisher of the blog bobsmithsblog.com.Born and raised in Wichita Falls, Texas, Smith earned a degree in Economics from Rice University and an MBA from the University of Washington. Primarily during the Cold War, he served as an aviator in the U.S. Navy. His tours in East and Southeast Asia are inspiration for many of his works, taking the reader vicariously along for his adventurous rides, launched from aircraft carriers in the 7th Fleet.Fueled by his own leadership experiences in the U.S. Navy and the private sector, Smith has become passionate and knowledgeable about our nation’s leaders. In nearly a dozen summaries of great presidential biographies, he examines the lives, achievements and legacies of these important political figures.Smith’s most recent novel, Lida Murry Smith, was inspired by his own family history. Set in the backdrop of the women’s suffrage movement, it traces the arduous and courageous 1905 fictional journey of the Smith family from their farm in Missouri, through the Indian Territories and Oklahoma to a new farm in Texas.For access to these and other works of Bobby Everett Smith, visit:https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/744702

      Summary

      Planning

      Hi, I am Bob Smith, PMP, certified project manager. I have just published two ebooks on Smashwords and I want to share my notes with you in case you are starting to write, publish and market your own e-book in the near future. You don’t have to use Smashwords. Plenty of self-publish firms are out there. That’s just the one I used.

      Goals

      • Create a plan to write, publish, and market an e-book

      • Write an e-book of approximately 15,000 to 100,000 words

      • Publish the e-book

      • Marketing the e-book

      o Create a database of about 1000 prospects for your book using Aweber auto responder (or other)

      o Create three promotional giveaways 5 to 8 pages each related to our niche

      o Create the content for 8 to 10 e-mails and distribute them to our contact list

      o Setup a website dedicated to our e-book

      Project Plan

      By applying Project Management Institute (PMI) principles we can benefit from the efficiencies and discipline that the methodologies bring to the table.

      Projects are temporary in nature; they have
