Lately, we’ve talked about ways to write a better PDF ebook. PDF e-books can be bulked up with a list of resources and a table of contents, which increases customer satisfaction. Now that you’ve added those, let’s look at other ways to make your readers happy, which increases sales and prevents returns and refunds.

Make sure that all your text is 12-point - Times New Roman is a good choice for long blocks of text. Pictures and graphics should be enlarged so they can be easily read. Adding comics and other graphics will make your ebook more visually appealing. All these steps add bulk to your ebook, while increasing its value to your readers.

Include “Johnson boxes” to enclose important points in boxes that are separate from the rest of the text. By including one every two or three pages, you help your customers understand which information is most important - that adds weight to your document.

Next, tell the reader about your other products. This is one of the greatest reasons to publish an ebook - to lead readers to your other products. So put a list of your other products in the back with clickable links. Make sure to include 3D cover shots which will increase the size of your ebook and cause more sales at the same time. It’s very easy to create a 3D version of your cover…or you can have someone else do it.

Include cheat sheets and checklists for your customers - they really love it! If your topic has more than two or three steps, consider a checklist. It’s a great way to convey information, especially on technical topics (using a digital camera; interview tips; great tips for buying a new home). Cheat sheets and checklists make this information easy to follow, increasing value for your readers.

Are there other tools that could help your readers? Some things to consider include sample forms, spread sheets, contracts, and more. Your customer simply fills in the blanks. These can be important additions when you are writing an ebook.

These simple tips will add meat to your e-book. By adding value to your product, you will have happier customers, healthy sales, and fewer returns. To your customers, it’s all about the value - give ‘em what they want, and your product will be a success.
