 You can create marketing ebooks in different layout platforms,
 such as Adobe InDesign and Quark Express. Yet, if you don’t
 have access to these, PowerPoint offers a good alternative for
 image-friendly design.

 Whether this is your first time creating an ebook or you’re
 looking for a fresh way to update your strategy, this template
 should give you exactly what you’re looking for.

                             If you start using a
                             specific line style,
                             title color, or image
                             frame, stick with it.”
 It’s important to stay consistent with your initial style choice. If you
 start using a specific line style, title color, or image frame, stick
 with it. Failing to do so will only create a chaotic experience for
 your readers and distract them from the knowledge you’re trying to
 share with them. By being consistent, your readers’ photographic
 memory will recognize what certain colors and formatting mean
 from section to section.

   Good images are not easy to find. You cannot just steal
   something from Google Image. However, you do have other
   sources of visuals to choose from!

   For instance, we recommend
   Flickr’s Creative Commons library. As long as you properly
   attribute each image, you can use any of the ones you find.
   You can also download iStockphoto images and use them in
   your ebooks.

    Instead of trying to use
    sophisticated language to
    convey a point, write
    simply and clearly. That’s
    the most effective way of
    educating readers and
    helping them understand
    the new material you’re
    providing. This is should
    also hold true for all your
    other marketing efforts,
    such as email marketing,
    call-to-action creation, and
    landing page production.
    “Clarity trumps
    persuasion,” as Dr. Flint
    McGlaughlin of MECLABS
    often likes to say.

Make sure you’re keeping your ebook’s color
scheme consistent. Use your company colors, and
try not to use more than three to five colors in your
layout.

Place calls-to-action throughout your ebook. A call-to-action is
a link or visual object that entices the visitor to click and arrive
on a page that will get them further engaged with your
company. For instance, a call-to-action can lead to another
offer, your annual conference, or even a product page.
