1) Have A Clear Table of Contents

By providing a clear table of contents with practical chapter titles, they'll be able to find the information they need quickly & will thank you for it.

2) Tell Readers Who Your Book Is For
Let potential readers know early on if your book is for them or not.
This way you'll decrease the chances of the wrong audience reading your book, not enjoying it & leaving you negative Amazon reviews.

3) Have Exercises Throughout The Book
Encourage readers to reflect or act upon the lessons you share by including exercises throughout your book.
Exercises help keep readers engaged and increase the chances of them applying what they've learned.

4) Summarize The Key Lessons At The End of Each Chapter
Readers will appreciate you recapping the key lessons from each chapter.
It helps them remember more of what they've learned.
Also helps to have a whole summary at the end of the book.
Ex: "Atomic Habits" by @JamesClear

Want more people to discover your book?
Then make it easy for someone to host a book club about it.
At the end of your book, create a list of possible questions for discussion topics.
