You’ve completed brainstorming and writing an outline or a web of ideas, you probably have quite a bit of information about your topic on paper. Look at the information and decide exactly how you feel your book should flow. The order of your book can be important to a reader. It needs to have an even flow and not bounce back from place to place.
Think of what your reader needs to know in the beginning. What do they need to know that is imperative for them to understand before they begin? Put that information at the start of your book. Once your readers get the beginning concepts, they’ll be ready to work on more difficult concepts or medium-level concepts.
Save the very difficult concepts for the end. A mechanic would never teach someone to rebuild an engine before he learned to rotate a tire. If you try too hard to push difficult things too early, you may lose them.
If you’re writing a self-help eBook on cooking, for example, you can divide each chapter easily by the type of food you’re cooking. Some are done by meal such as “Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert.” Others do it by the type of food such as “Italian, French,
Mexican, etc.” You get the point. Ordering other eBooks may be a little more difficult to do, but having your order thought out is extremely important.
