- Specific figures and data can lend credibility to your Story.
- If you clearly define your target audience, your unique selling points will become clear.
How to Make Even Common Topics Look SpecialPlanning Techniques
Can I write an e-book based on my own experiences?
If you’ve ever considered writing an e-book, you’ve probably had thoughts like these at least once. To cut to the chase: yes, it’s definitely possible. But you’ll need to add something special. So, I’m going to share how to create an engaging e-book from a seemingly ordinary topic.
The e-book projects raising hundreds of millions of won that you can easily find on wadiz actually cover topics we encounter in our daily lives. So, what’s the secret behind these common topics achieving such high success? It’s all about a “shift in perspective.”
Not just a simple guide to using Notion, but “the standard workflow system of a company with 5 billion won in annual revenue.”
Not just “how to draw ordinary emojis,” but “the secret to earning 10 million won a month.”
Not just running a common online store, but “a rags-to-riches Story of going from being in debt to becoming a CEO with sales in the hundreds of millions.”
It’s about viewing topics that might otherwise seem ordinary from a fresh perspective.
You’re the only one underestimating your own experiences.
Even small, everyday experiences have plenty of value. Let me give you an example.
That ordinary morning workout has turned into a compelling story, hasn’t it? In particular, the trial and error you’ve personally experienced and your genuine journey to overcoming challenges can make for a truly captivating story for someone else. Even when running the same coffee shop, one person might write “How to Open a Café with 50 million won in Monthly Sales,” while another might write “The Secret to Success After Five Years: A Failed Café Owner’s Story.” The same experience can become a completely different story depending on how you view it.
Add some drama to your failure stories.

Stories of people who overcame failure tend to resonate more deeply than those of people who succeeded from the start.
- Include the ups and downs you experienced on your journey to your current achievements.
- Be honest about your failed attempts as well.
- Highlight the pivotal moments that served as turning points.
Try to quantify the benefits readers can gain using numbers and data.
Specific figures build credibility and clearly demonstrate results.Through quantifiedstatements, your experiences—which were previously hardto visualize—begin to come into sharp focus.
Define your target audience clearly.

When readers think, “This is exactly my story,” they become deeply immersed in it. The same applies to e-books. It’s even better if you clearly define your target audience and mention them on pages like the product details page. Defining a specific target audience also makes your unique selling points clearer.
