First Lines
The only
purpose of
the first line
of anything
you write is to
get the reader
to read the
second line.

   Outlining
     Always outline
    your book before
    you start to
   write. This will
eliminate writers
   block and create
   a template for
your book.

Writing
     Write your first
   draft all the way
     through. Do not
     stop to edit or
    change anything.
Do not read
what you
just wrote.

   Stories
     Use stories
    in all of your
     non-fiction
writing to create
the emotional
impact that sells
your ideas and
   products.

   The Lesson
    Always end your
     book with a
   lesson or call to
   action. Tell your
readers what
to do with the information
they just learned.

Kinds of
Writing
There are only
two kinds of
writing.

Boring
and
Interesting

   First Drafts
    Give yourself
   permission to
   write a very bad
   first draft. You
will fix it when
you write the
second draft.

     Repurposing
    Use blog posts,
   articles, posts
   on Twitter,
   and newsletters
   as the basis
   for chapters
    in your book.

   Personalize
   Make sure your
   personality
   comes through
   in your book.
   The reader wants
your opinions on
the material
   you present.

Audiences
Write to the
targeted
audience of
your choice.
They will be the
most receptive
and may become
your clients.
