Essential oils have become much more widely used in recent years, in applications such as aromatherapy for mood and mental health, natural skincare, DIY cleaning products, air fresheners and deodorizing, natural pesticides and much more. Do you want to create and sell an essential oils guide, but aren’t sure of where to start? It’s easier than you think. Let’s cover the how-to of essential oils guide creation right now.
Why Create and Sell an Essential Oils Guide?
Many wellness-conscious individuals would love practical tips on how to make essential-oils based products for use in their home and personal care, but they don’t know what oils to use. Many search the web for recipes, amounts, benefits of specific oils, cautionary warnings and safe practices. If you’re essential-oils educated and looking to grow your reach as an expert on the topic, use what you know to create a guide that others will seek out, and benefit from having.
Creating an essential oils guide…
- Poitions you as an expert
- Attracts new readership with a sought-after digital product
- Helps your website and social media advance in search rank
- Drives new sign-ups
- Can make you passive income
- Enhances your existing classes, group coaching and other offerings
How Long Should Your Essential Oils Guide Be?
Wondering how much time you should spend writing an essential oils handbook, and how many pages your guide should be? The length and depth of information you offer should depend on what you plan to use the guide for. Below, some quick ideas.
Make your guide as long as it takes to explain the process you’re teaching.
- If you want to make an essential oils guide covering how to make homemade beeswax candles, then your guide might end up being on the shorter side – about 5 to 10 pages.
- If you’re creating a comprehensive essential oils guide to sell, then figure 5 to 10 pages per chapter, and maybe 10 chapters, give or take. So in that case, your guide could be about 50 to 100+ pages.
- If you’re developing a seasonal wellness essential oils guide to give away as an opt-in to grow your list, then your guide might be on the small-to medium side… maybe five to 20 pages max.
- If you plan to offer a more focused guide; for example, maybe you’re covering basic uses or which oils for whic purposes, your guide could be a page per oil, and you may decide to feature 10 oils – which could end up being about 15 pages.
What Topics Belong in Your Essential Oils Guide?
Before you dive into essential oils e-guide creation, have a clear idea of your guide’s overall theme and purpose. Then outline each chapter or section, which will dictate topics to include.
For example, if you want to launch an essential oils guide focusing on spring wellness, then plan topics that cover all the spring-cleaning and freshening uses. These might look like…
- Spring Cleaning with Essential Oils
- 5 MYO natural cleaning recipes using essential oils
- Applications for cleaning with essential oils
- Springtime Skincare – Homemade Formulas
- Overview of skincare ingredients and purpose/benefit of each
- 5 MYO natural skincare recipes
Create an On-Brand Essential Oils Ebook
Branding is visually thematic and consistent. What is your “brand flavor” – what emotions are evoked, what’s the mood you conjure and what’s your visual and verbal style? Each time you create an essential oils guide, you’ll want some elements to change, and others to stay consistent. Ask these questions:
- What’s my color palate or family?
- What style of fonts do I use (sans serif, dainty, block type, cursive, other)
- What type of graphics speak to my brand aesthetic?
- What’s my brand voice… what words and colloquial phrases speak to our ideal reader?
