Guys Volcom you starting with a content skeleton This is where I book is going to start to make sense

to anybody but yourself and school then really start taking shape and you're going to find out exactly

what your book is going to look like when it's finished.

So by the end of this module of the end of this lecture even we should have all of our ideas from out

ideas on into a structured order ready for editing and turning into a professionally edited book.

Let me show you exactly how I did this from my 25 Healthy Habits book.

OK.

So as you can see now I've created a new entirely different document to my ideas on and it's called

Healthy Habits content's skeleton because now we're going to transition from our ideas on where we put

all of our ideas and all of our research into one document.

And while we did that the great side effect was we got our ideas organized in our head.

So as we're all sorting through all that information we discover new ideas and we also we're making

small decisions on what was good and what's bad and what will end up in now book and what we'll end

up cutting up.

So I know there's a lot of information in your head right now.

But now we're going to sort it out and put it into an organized structure called our content skeleton.

It's called our content Scouten for exactly the reason that you think it's going to be like the skeleton

of a foundational structure about body is going to be the foundational structure of our book where we

can then place out organs and content within that to make the entire body running low on power.

But that's OK.

So at the top again I put the title I put that content skeleton just because it keeps me organized.

And then I put the cover again.

So before I get into how exactly I've done this.

It's going to vary from everybody depending on your own personal needs and desires and also the type

of niche that you're in and type of book that you're writing.

So my book is very simple it's just 25 simple habits.

So therefore my content structure will represent this in my book which it does.

So I have an introduction at the top which I will relate to the audience because the top the first 10

percent of your book is Preview obal by anybody setuid Amazon and a lot of people who use this first

10 percent to help make a decision.

So the first thing you really want to do is connect to your audience and establish a relationship where

they understand that you are knowledgeable about the subject and that you also understand the problem

that they're going through.

So I then like to go on to who the book is for and I've got I'm trying to distinguish myself away from

being a fad diet.

It's more of a lifestyle change where you're slowly adding healthy habits to your life which makes it

easier to adapt to this to this change.

And also it makes it more sustainable because it's not as big of a commitment as a full diet and then

go on to say knowledge is power to help motivate people to buy this book to understand that once they

have the knowledge in this book they have the power to change their life.

And that is where the preview will end and the main content will start up at my table of contents in

here to which we should write.

So my table of contents will go in here and then the main body is the body of the main body of my book

will start here which will be of course my 25.

It was originally 27 25 simple changes and obviously the explanation of about 200 words I'm planning

on that each change or habit.

So from Idea Storm my ideas and thoughts were slowly filtered and I came up with these following 25

habits.

So if I head back to my ideas and now as you can see here

how I chose these habits was I went down and as I was copy pasting and as I went over to reread I was

highlighting and bolding the ones that I really liked and highlighting the the text that I found was

really helpful.

So I simply took the ones I liked copied and pasted them into this numbered list and these will be my

chapter headings slash my 25 simple habits that I'll elaborate on.

Then comes the conclusion.

Just to round out the books of understanding your body here.

Getting results taking the next step.

This and final words.

Just to round out the book and make it feel wholesome.

I'll be going over that in the next module.

But as you can see now I have a framework that will be the foundational structure for my book and the

next that is simply expanding on these headings and then linking them all together which I'll show you

in module 4.

So your book should start to look similar to this now.

You should have 8 ideas stone full of great information content and you should also have this content

skeleton which is going to be the structure of your final ideas in your book.

As you can see our books are coming together.

Let's head over module for now and see how to bring them together in the quickest and easiest way.
