The Cover

I go through the details of creating an attractive cover further on in this lesson. But using the same technique, here is the cover that I designed for Tiff’s PLR (after deciding the new name would be Does Your Website Need a Traffic Boost? Here Are the 10 Essentials):

The Title

As shown, I’ve changed the title to Does Your Website Need a Traffic Boost? Here Are the 10 Essentials.

The Format

I have a Word doc that is formatted to produce an attractive looking book, whether it’s a downloadable PDF, a Kindle e-book or an Amazon paperback. It’s my template.

It has a

  • Title (and sub-title) page
  • Copyright page
  • Disclaimer
  • Table of contents
  • Page showing the formats used for chapter, headings 1, 2 & 3 and paragraph with a drop cap
  • About the author page.

Let’s have a look at some of the settings.

Paper Size is set to Custom 15.24cm x 22.86 cm (6” x 9”).

Title (font) is set to Calibri Light 28px.

Sub-Title is Calibri (body) 11px.

Table of Contents uses Automatic TOC 1 (but I sometimes modify it to increase the h1, h2 and h3 indent levels)

Chapter font is Literata 20px.

Heading 1 is Calibri (body) 18px.

Heading 2 is Calibri (body) 16px.

Heading 3 is Calibri (body) 14px.

Normal is Literata 12px.

The first few pages, up to and including the table of contents, don’t have headers or footers.

After that, each page has the book title centered in the header and the page number centered in the footer.

An email list is your greatest asset in my opinion I use all of those PLR sellers and they are awesome. Another one is Tools for motivation if you are in the personal development niche their content is awesome. And if you contact Trevor a co owner they will give you jaw dropping discounts if you want to publish a lot of articles.

Thank you, Professor Phil. Always appreciate training that is comprehensive and detailed without leaving one wondering what that last sentence meant!

It's difficult to relate in words, just how deeply I appreciate your training and how much it has helped me.

It always seems to me, that a mere thank you is really insufficient to convey the gratitudeI have. Not only for all that you provide, but for the major effort it requires in order to offer all the specific details that make your posts so informative and inviting.

The very first thing I look for when we receive a WA training announcement, is the name 'Phil44'.

This one will find it's home in one of my many 'Phil44' folders!

One more mere... 'Thank you!

Thanks, Phil for the lesson. It is often hard to understand what is being talked about when you don't know the language.

Breaking the information into smaller chunks gets one over the hump in being more comfortable and moving forward with a project

Thanks, Shelly. I hope you were able to follow what I covered in Part 1. Don't hesitate to ask questions about anything that needs clarification.
