Today I want to discuss the importance of having a great title for your ebook.

You ebook title needs to encourage the person to read your ebook.
A boring title will not compel the reader to look through your ebook and see what it is all about.
It must give the person some idea of what the ebook is about and who it is aimed at.
You should be able to know what to expect from the ebook.
Some suggestions might be:
The beginners guide to xxxxx
A guide on how to xxxxx
Learn how to xxxxx
xxxxx in ten easy steps.
It should offer a solution to the problem that the person is having.
Put in words like step by step or and easy guide to compel the reader to have a look inside the ebook.
Do not be in too much of a rush to come up with a title.
You only have one shot at engaging the person to read your ebook.
Make sure that you get it right.
Jot down some titles, leave them for a few days and then come back and have a look at them.
When you come back and have a look at them again, see which one catches your eye first.
Chances are, that would make a great title for your ebook.
That is it for today.
Next time we will be looking at styles for your ebook cover.
Have a profitable day.
