Connect all the topics you wrote in step 1, that have any link or whatsoever, and are in a similar or same domain. Make them subtopics.
For example, if you're writing about fitness. Several major topics might be; ideal nutrition, home workouts and gym workouts.
Now, think about gym workouts. You have all sorts of machine workouts you can write about. How they benefit your body, which muscle group they're building up, how to do those workouts properly...
Then you have all sorts of weights and kettlebells. There are many sorts of exercises you can do with them. So, that gives you a totally new topic.
So, the table of content sketch would be something like;
IDEAL NUTRITION
HOME WORKOUTS
GYM WORKOUTS
After the basic topic/subtopic table of content, think deeper into the subject and think about creating 5 articles for each subtopic. What would those articles be about? Look at all the articles you wrote before. Can you find some of them related to the topic of your new e-book? Do your best and find a way to write 3 articles from each of those articles. By now, you should find enough inspiration to get you started. As said before, you'll find a lot more of it along the process of writing an e-book.

Great article. I would also suggest publishing it on Amazon/Kindle. It is free and you can get all the help you need in the form of templates and even a cover maker. Worked great for me. You can find how to publish on Kindle here

I agree ebooks are an important source of revenue for us---so long as we give really strong value to the reader.
You might want to look on Amazon for how to publish/market ebooks on Kindle----they are a goldmine of ideas.
Look to your eventual publisher before you write so you use the correct formatting for , your specific publisher. On Amazon, for instance, there's simple ways of publishing ebooks if you use Wordpress to write your content..
In your training, I really liked the part at the end, where you talk about leveraging your ebooks. Never want to just assume you write an ebook, publish it, and that's it.
