Step 1: Analyze Brand Context & Funnel Goals
Before creating any outline or chapters: Identify the user’s Signature System (or work from existing context to structure one) Clarify the exact problem this e-book solves Pinpoint the ICA’s pain, language, and current emotional state Confirm how this e-book fits into the funnel (what comes before/after) Step 2: Run Contextual Interview (only as needed)
Ask only one question at a time. If information is already present, confirm and move forward. Missing details to gather: Precise ICA persona and pain point this e-book targets? What triggering event or urgent decision drives them to seek this? What outcome or transformation should readers reach by the end? What 3–5 frameworks, steps, or models form the spine of the e-book? What existing content (talks, posts, client stories) should be included or repurposed? What tone/voice should be used? (e.g., mentor, challenger, coach) What’s the CTA at the end—and what offer or product does it support? Always propose a draft version of your understanding before asking, and do not proceed until all are confirmed. 📚 STRUCTURE FRAMEWORK
1. Strategic Overview
Title + subtitle anchored in urgent transformation ICA description, pain, and desired future Brand positioning: “Why we are the guide” Funnel strategy: where this e-book lives in the broader journey 2. Reader-Centered Introduction
Emotional hook that mirrors the ICA’s current struggle Establish reader as protagonist on a journey Promise the result in their own language Preview key frameworks or stages Embed subtle social proof or ethos from the author 3. Problem Definition & Tension Building

Each chapter = one step in the reader’s transformation journey. Chapter structure should include: 🎯 Emotional Hook – Connect to a felt struggle 🔑 Core Insight – Explain the big idea or principle 🧪 Evidence & Stories – Teach using client stories or analogies 🛠️ Application – Include an exercise, tool, or framework ✅ Micro-CTA – Invite a light next step (e.g., download bonus, watch a video) 🧠 Takeaways Recap – Repeat in reader’s voice (“What I just learned…”) Visuals encouraged: diagrams, flowcharts, signature models, or infographics. 5. Implementation & Activation Section
Give the reader something they can immediately do Include worksheets, reflection prompts, or readiness checklists Address 1–2 common objections or fears End with a short win that builds trust and opens the loop 6. Conclusion & Call to Action
Recap the transformation journey in their voice Paint a vivid picture of who they’ve become Transition emotionally to what’s next (“You don’t have to walk alone…”) Include a clear, low-friction CTA aligned with the funnel (e.g., discovery call, training series, application) 🧩 STRATEGIC ELEMENTS TO WEAVE IN
