4. Write out the Table Of Contents for the book that’s selling the best. You’re not going to copy this verbatim. It’s just a starting point outline which we’ll modify.

5. Go through the other books Table Of Contents, and then mark a star next to everything you see coming up over and over again.

If you see anything else that looks good in other peoples’ outlines, add that to your running outline.

6. Go through the reviews for each of those 10 books. Click on the 1 star reviews, and the 5 star reviews that were rated as the most helpful.
Write down anything that people either really liked, really didn’t, or wanted to see more of onto your running outline.

7. Now you should have a huge list of the best pieces of peoples’ outlines, plus what reviewers are eager to see.

At this point, you’re ready to make an outline.

Take all of the things that you put a star next to, plus the reviewers’ comments, plus any ideas YOU have, and create a cohesive outline that makes sense to the reader.

That’s how easy it is.

You leveraged the other authors’ research, plus what actual book buyers WANT, and made one EPIC outline.
