you’ll do as you enter the book production / publishing process. For now (and the foreseeable
future), your #1 priority is to finish your rough draft. Until you finish your rough draft, nothing
else matters. :)

Introduction:
Following the 8-Point Structure
You should aim to approach your
introduction with the following in mind:
Chapter 1
● Who is your ideal target reader and Step One
what words do they use to describe
the problem you’re looking to solve
for them? If you’re not about this,
head back to the research phase on The first chapter is where you’re going to
Amazon and dig a little deeper into connect with your reader about the main
using the search function. You need issue they are trying to solve. In this
to understand what your target chapter, you want to help them believe they
reader is saying. can achieve what you’re about to teach and
show them.
● You MUST share something about
you. Whether that’s your personal
story, why you decided to write this
book etc. You cannot get away from You might think storytelling is only for
this, particularly if you’re looking to fiction authors, but it’s not! As human
build any time of business with or beings, we remember stories… how can
from your book. People connect with you incorporate stories into your non-fiction
people. book?

● No matter what you decided to cover Think about the step-by-step process you’re
in your introduction, it should sharing… can you add anecdotal stories
ALWAYS aim to cover what the throughout the book to either highlight the
problem is, a brief summary of the pain point or hit home your main point?
solution you’re covering in the book Consider each step in the process… how
and who the book is for and who the can you make it as easy as possible for
book is not for. your reader to implement it? Consider
breaking down each step into smaller steps
as well… these become your sub-headings.
1.) Identify the problem

2.) Present the solution

Chapter Outline:
3.) Reassert your credibility
● Quote or intro to this step (great time
4.) Show them the benefits to include a story here!)
again ● Story
● Teaching
5.) Give them proof
● Next Steps/Action Steps/ Reflection
6.) Make a promise (the bigger Questions
the better) ● Transition

7.) Warn them against waiting

8.) Prompt them to read (call to

action)
 Chapter 2
Step Two
In this chapter, you’re getting the reader to start moving through your process.

Remember, the more actionable content you provide, the easier it will be your reader to
implement.

What other things can you include here to help the reader understand what you’re sharing with
them?

Chapter Outline:

● Recap what they just learned in the previous step. You might like to gently remind them
that they need to take action on that step BEFORE they move onto this step!
● Story
● Teaching
● Next Steps/Action Steps/ Reflection Questions
● Transition
 Chapter 3
Step Three
In this chapter, you’re getting the reader to start moving through your process even more.

This might be a good time to acknowledge that the reader may be struggling at this point,
particularly if they are learning something new. Give them some ideas on how to stay focused
and not get overwhelmed.

This might be a great time to introduce a free tool or template to support them as they progress
through your book.

Chapter Outline:

● Recap what they just learned in the previous step. You might like to gently remind them
that they need to take action on that step BEFORE they move onto this step!

● Teaching
● Next Steps/Action Steps/ Reflection Questions
● Transition
 Chapter 4
Step Four
By now, you’re reader is well and truly into your process. They should hopefully have
implemented what they’ve been learning so far and have had a few quick wins.

This is a great time to remind them how amazing they are and that you’re impressed with their
progress… particularly if they’ve gotten this far without giving up!

Consider mentioning any further resources you have… maybe mentioning your paid product, if it
supports them further. Don’t overdo this. Remember, value first.

Your book is like a first date. You’re wining and dining the reader throughout the book. At no
point are you talking about marriage, right?! Only include links to paid products if it’s a great fit
and is a natural progression just like moving to a second date. Don’t scare your reader with a
‘marriage proposal’ this early!

Chapter Outline:

● Recap what they just learned in the previous step. You might like to gently remind them
that they need to take action on that step BEFORE they move onto this step!
● Story
● Teaching
● Next Steps/Action Steps/ Reflection Questions
● Transition
 Chapter 5
Step Five
You’re getting close to the end of your book. These last couple of chapters should be moving your
reader close to victory.

They should have a very clear understanding of where they are in the process and be ready to take
the next steps.

Chapter Outline:

● Recap what they just learned in the previous step. You might like to gently remind them that
they need to take action on that step BEFORE they move onto this step!
● Story
● Teaching
● Next Steps/Action Steps/ Reflection Questions
● Transition
 Chapter 6
Step Six
The final chapter in your process!

The reader is excited to get to this point. This is where you should include a couple of stories, ways
they can expand on what they’ve just learned and a clear indication that you intend to share clear
next steps for them in the final chapter.

● Recap what they just learned in the previous step. You might like to gently remind them that
they need to take action on that step BEFORE they move onto this step!
● Story
● Teaching
● Next Steps/Action Steps/ Reflection Questions
● Transition
 Chapter 7
Next Steps
This is the official last chapter in your book. It’s the place where you provide clear next steps for your
reader.

This could be some type of 30-day challenge. A 30-day action plan. Maybe a 7-day checklist.
Whatever you decide, it should be another opportunity for your reader to get on your email list!

Talk about what you have to offer here too, but use words like “whenever you’re ready, here’s some
more ways we can work together.”

Whatever it is, this is the time to tell your reader exactly what they need to do to make the steps
they’ve just taken come to life.

Chapter Outline:

● Recap what they just learned in the book. This should be a summary.
● Story
● Teaching
● Next Steps/Action Steps/ Reflection Questions
● Transition

Note: The amount of chapters per book varies greatly. Use your best judgement and create as many
chapters as is necessary to get your point across.
