It’s good to have passion for your eBook’s topic. And, you also need to think about your audience and what they want from your book in any given chapter. And, what kind of time they want to spend on learning from you.
Write only 3-5 chapters for one book with an angle (sells better). Write other companion books that you can sell as a series or bigger package that makes you still the expert, and makes you more money too.
Yes, college text chapters are 35 pages long and traditional publishers like 10-15 chapters with around 25 pages each.

Do you want your chapters to engage your readers, so they’ll finish and recommend your book?
Here, you can see how one client revived her yoga book chapters with specific examples and short tips, so they would be more entertaining, polished, and easy-to-read. When your chapters engage and don’t bore, your readers will gladly spread the good word of mouth about your book.
“From just two sessions, I got so many ways to hook my audience for my yoga book to make each chapter more entertaining, polished, engaging, and easier to read. I loved your idea on using the tips as a separate blog post to promote the book. Thanks so much!”–Ntathu from UK.
When you use these hook elements like my client did to further brand her book in each chapter, you will write more authentically and naturally.

Write your book for the one who buys your book–your reader. That’s who decides whether it sells or not. Rather than lecture or tell from your research, think what does my reader want now? How can I use the Three E’s – engaging, enjoyable and easy to motivate my reader from the first paragraph to the last?
1. Hook your reader in the beginning of each chapter. Motivate him to keep reading. Meet him where he is now–what are his challenges? Ask a few questions about his challenges to engage him.
