How to write an ebook dedication – Make Your Readers FEEL

So! You’re thinking about writing an ebook and making tremendously magnificent products until those cows come home.

Great idea! But before you send that out…have you ever thought of what ELSE you could include (besides the Oscar-worthy content of your own actual product)?

Enter….Create Your Own eBook Dedications!

It makes sense, actually. Think about it… most likely, there are people in your life for whom you have big huge bunches of gratitude.

Right?

‘Course right! What goes around, comes around….so why not highlight the people who have helped you the most and even give them active hyperlinks in your ebook dedication section?

Here’s mine from Income Fitness:

A public thank you – I’ve been making my living online now for over a decade and during this time, have been blessed by the following individuals:

· Bill Vick, Wallace Harkness, Dr. Ilyse O’Desky, Terry Zappulla, Ed Horch, Mary Ellen Ferrara, Tony Blake, and bunches more.

· I’m also deeply grateful to the blogosphere and the super folks from whom I learned including Liz Strauss, Mark Davidson, Suzie Cheel, Joanna Young, Brian Clark, Darren Rowse, Maureen Sharib, Jim Stroud, Judi Sohn, Catherine Lawson, Maki, Wendy Piersall, John Chow, Gab Goldenberg, James Chartrand, Skellie, Crow, Joel Falconer, Melinda, Lorelle , Brad Shorr, Cath Lawson, Barbara Swafford, Ulla Hennig and many more as well.

· And I would most remiss indeed if I neglected to mention Bonnie and the RocketMoms of Squidoo! They taught me an incredible amount about how terrific Squidoo is for anyone online.

Next, I am indebted to:

o Donna Gillespie, author of the life-changing books The Light Bearer and Lady of the Light – one of the most superb writers today.

Last but never least:

My family. My wonderful husband, Moses Ling, my terrific kids, my wondrous mooses, my absolutely fantastic parents – none of this would be possible whatsoever without their love and support. This one’s for you, folks!

DEDICATION

To my husband:

Income Fitness is dedicated to my husband, Moses Ling…the man in my life who keeps me sane and gives me the truest meaning to my life.

I love you the mostest. Always.

Barbara Ling

Fortune favors the bold.

See what I mean?

Compare that to a dedication like so:

My book is dedicated, ummmm, to me.
