Always Proofread Before You Publish!

Before you compile or publish your ebook or manuscript, proofread!  Then, proofread again.  Better yet, ask someone else to thoroughly review it for you. Maybe you have a family member, a friend, or a JV partner who can proof it for you.  You can also hire a professional to review your ebook.  Check the resource page for some suggestions.

Check for obvious mistakes, such as misspellings and incorrect grammar.  Spell checkers are wonderful, but misused words cannot be detected by your software.  If you use the wrong word in the wrong context, your product will not look as professional as it could.  For example, using “wear” instead of “where” when that is not what you intended.

After proofreading, ask yourself the following questions:

• Does your book flow smoothly?
• Are your chapters organized?
• Do you have a table of contents included in the front of your ebook?
• Is the font easy to read?
• Have you included images?
• Is your website referenced?
• Does your reader have a way to contact you, either for more information or to purchase another product?
• Have you included your affiliate links in any products that you may have suggested to your readers? Don’t overdo the affiliate links and product suggestions.

If so, then you are ready for the next step.

You are almost ready to start the process again.  Soon, you will be a pro at writing ebooks.
