Tips Guides

An e-book can be a great way to get a client’s attention if you know how to use one with viral marketing. In fact, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to do so. There are a lot of resources available online for free that you can get at no cost. However, it’s absolutely imperative that you know how to capture readers’ attention so that you can successfully sell them products and build your reputation as someone who has a quality e-book and whose creation and marketing have been successful.

Make It Interesting

Among the most important things you can do when you create your e-book and market it is that the pitch page and cover have to be very attractive. The pictures you use should draw attention to the e-book itself and the content inside. The images should be memorable and understandable even if you use black-and-white or use a thumbnail view to list your e-book along with other e-books at various sites. If you are going to include the e-book in a one-page site or in your own website, you can use the pitch page as its own webpage. Remember that the keywords you use should be those you know potential buyers are going to use, so that you get the right traffic and so that your pages retain top ranking on search engines.

You can also talk to other website owners, e-book authors and moderators of forums so that you can exchange or buy links and thus boost visibility even further. This will make even more people want to buy your product. Viral marketing can be very effective in that people will see interesting copy as a first taste of your work. If you are someone who is writing an e-book for the first time, you can show readers how you write by providing free samples of your reading that they’re going to enjoy. Encourage readers to share and keep your work, so that your reputation continues to build.

Keep the Content Relevant and High Quality

With viral marketing, your efforts will be more successful and will reap greater profits for you if you try to attract the right audience. Visit various websites and forums where you may find users interested in your e-book or where topics similar or related to your content are discussed. First post and reply in forums, and then use your signature line to post links that will take people to your page or site. Answer any questions people may have about your e-book, including how it was created and marketed.

Asking experts to review your e-book makes your e-book much more credible and will help keep it visible, too. Therefore, invite consultants, companies and authors to review your work by giving them a free copy and asking them to review it. You can also give them a link to your page or site. There are many free review sites on the Internet available to you. In addition, having affiliates may also greatly increase the visibility of your e-book. If you offer high commissions for those who sell your e-books, this will boost sales markedly. In addition, creating and marketing your e-book may have you writing articles in relation to your topic elsewhere, so that people will become interested and want to go check out your e-book for themselves.

You have put immense effort and spent countless hours in doing research and writing an ebook. But, what if your ebook was not able to create the rage among your online readers? While hundreds of ebook writers burn their midnight oil to be successful at their mission, many fail to make it because they don`t know the secrets of making it big with their ebooks. Following are some of the most highly essential steps that every wannabe ebook write should follow.

Writing for the reader:

While writing your ebook you must remember that you are not writing about the subject matters that you are interested in. it is the reader who is responsible for your online success as a writer. Hence, in your article, cover the area that your reader want ton know. You are going to satiate the readers` obsession. And their preference of subject must be your theme of writing. To find out the idea for your ebook you can go through the forums and blogs.

People are used to buy a book judging it from its cover. The same trend goes with the ebooks as well. Here a graphic or a picture speaks volume. A poor-looking image can literally affect your selling. If you really want a over for your e-book make it attractive or don`t keep a cover at all. If you possess a little or no idea about the graphic designing, get a graphic designer hired to give a professional graphic look for your ebook.

An efficient web hosting service:

You can make your e book more special by creating domain name and a website for it. These days, cheap domain names are available that you can find out making a Google search. But make sure that you have a control over the domain name that allows you to move whatever webhost you want. They should provide 24/7 service and 99% uptime. This will make your e-book accessible to any reader.

Making traffic:

If you don`t get traffic you are not going to drive visitors to your sales page and forget about they turning into consumer. You can write some articles and link it to your sales page of your ebook. As you are writing your ebook, you don`t need to write separate article for that. You can take a section or part of it and use it for creating links. The visitors through the links can virtually enhance your selling. After all, your ebook needs them to be the best seller.

You can get potential customer if you have got an effective marketing strategy. Unless you have created a visibility for your ebook it is not going to be sold itself though it has the best content in the world. Consistently distribute and promote your ebook by following any traffic generating technique. Send your articles to different publishers and submit your links in ezines. This is the key to get traffic. Once you get the potential traffic your ebook, it will definitely pave the way to be the best-seller.

Promotional Salesletter:

Appeal the emotion of the reader logically. You can post some sales letter making your ebook stand out among others. There are thousands of ebook published everyday and unless your ebook is prominent and appealing. Get some instant salesletters or templets for your best seller.

Online booking and payment:

You are selling your ebook online and hence, you need to have a top notch payment procedure for your customers. Do you have a merchant account? Actually you need one. An online payment procedure is convenient for the buyers. You also need to have a reliable method of ordering your ebook.

There’s a few thousand different books and e-books you can buy in stores either on or offline, or download online. I personally like e-books better because of their simplicity and price, which is usually free! And they are just like regular books. They are yours to keep and you can read them whenever you like. One of my favorite sites to go to is called Free-eBooks dot net. I go to this site for just about any e-book I’m looking for online.

And all the books on this site are completely %100 free so you don’t even have to worry about prices. They offer just over 2 pages of Optimization books, an astonishing 20 pages of Marketing books. Of course there’s probably a mish mash between the two keywords but still, that’s a pretty good amount of FREE e-books to search for on this site. Some other really good sites you know you can count on for e-books is Amazon, Adobe, and PlanetPdf. Out of these selections Amazon offers a really large selection but of course most of the e-books on Amazon aren’t going to be free, but the rest will be.

The best two best stores in my opinion, offline, to get marketing books or any sort of search engine or optimization books is Barnes & Noble and Borders. The next time your in or around one of these two stores try searching in the Business or Internet/Computer section. If you cant find what your looking for, just ask!

Now on to the actual books. Which ones are highly recommended? Which ones are bombs? Well I suppose for a free e-book this doesn’t really matter as much, because it is free. But if your like me, and your the type of person that doesn’t like wasting precious time, then it does matter to a certain extent. Here’s some really GREAT books to get your hands on:

Search Engine Marketing, Inc.: Driving Search Traffic to Your Company’s Web Site by Bill Hunt
Search Engine Optimization for Dummies by Peter Kent
Search Engine Optimization: An Hour a Day by Jennifer Grappone
The Ultimate Guide to Search Engine Marketing: Pay Per Click Advertising Secrets Revealed by Bruce C. Brown

Out of these books Ive either heard good things from people Ive worked with, have read some of them myself, or they just received REALLY good reviews. I’m more of a “dummy” follower myself. Of course there’s a lot more books you could check out but this is just the jumping off point if you didn’t know where to start and with what books. Remember optimizing and marketing your site are two really important things when you have your own site.

Marketing + Optimization = better chance of visitors. If no one knows about your site (marketing) or you don’t build your site on certain fundamentals you should be following, then most likely your not going to receive the amount of traffic you would really like. Even if your not selling anything per se, you still want visitors to your site!

Example I have a Cooking website. I’m not necessarily selling anything on there (although i do have 2 affiliate programs) but I still want people to go to my site for the other things I have on their such as my CPM banners, feature blogs/posts, contextual ads etc. There’s no real point in having things on your site to make you money (either directly or indirectly) if you don’t have the traffic to back it up.

Take a site that optimizes and markets the “correct” way and another site that does none of this. Which one do you think is going to get the most visitors? Which site has the potential to make money? The one that’s more optimized and marketed definitely will! Go read the books and do the work that’s necessary for you to succeed. It may take some time but I guarantee if you take all the steps needed, you will get to where you want. Your site just as well could be a HUGE money maker! Good luck!

Before the internet, in order to create your own products for distribution, you needed a staff. Since all products were physical, they had to be created and then distributed through the mail or other service.

With the internet you have many more options for creating and distributing products. You can make them digital or physical, you can create software or ebooks, and even create audio or video using just your computer.

Before you get started though, you need to make several decisions so that your product becomes a success. Ask yourself these questions, and use your answers to create a successful product.

1. What will be the topic of your products?

Is there a specific topic you are an expert in? Do you have a hobby you’ve been very successful at and can share your knowledge? Is there a topic you are passionate about?

Regardless of what your skill is, there’s probably a market for it. The first step in getting started here is to do your research, once you’ve chosen your topic, find out if there is a market for what you do. You can search for your topic in the search engines. Look for forums, social networking sites, and other sites that offer products similiar to the ones you want to create. If you find sites like these, you have a market.

2. What format will you use to create your products?

Although writing is one of the easiest ways to communicate your information to others, writing a book isn’t the only way to create an information product. With sites like Lulu, Cafe Press, and Create Space, you have the option of creating different types of products to meet the needs of your audience, including video and audio. You can also create strictly digital products that can be downloaded from your website.

3. What tools will you need to create your products?

If you plan to write books or ebooks, you’ll a word processing program, as well as a program to create PDFs. A PDF is a universal format that can be distributed to anyone and read on any type of computer. If you plan to self publish your manuscript as a book, you’ll need to convert your document to PDF before publishing.

With video and audio, you’ll either need a video camera, or some type of software on your computer to create your audios and videos. You can do a search at any of the freeware websites to find software for creating your projects in these formats.

4. How will you distribute your products?

Once you know what format you will create your product in, you’ll need to decide how to distribute it. This means taking orders, as well as processing payments. The secret here is to automate every aspect of the order, payment, and distribution process so your products are available 24/7. It will also save you a lot of time, and you can use your time to market your products. The companies I mentioned before can help you here.

5. How will you market your products?

The type of product you sell can largely determine how you will market your product. Will you create a website to send your traffic to? Do you plan to pay for traffic, as in pay per clicks? Articles and press releases are a great way to get the word out about your business and drive traffic. You can also advertise your business using classified ads, as well as share your knowledge on forums and social network sites.

There are many ways to market your business that will get you the traffic to sell your products. Create your marketing plan before you create your products and then launch as soon as you are ready to begin distributing your products. Then you will more quickly see success.

Jinger Jarrett’s book “Internet Marketing for Free: The GUIDE,” is available on Amazon.

For many people, the world that they grew up in is long gone. The entire universe has changed since people first started considering ideas that did not include cookies and milk.

Since then, in many ways, technology has changed into something controlling instead of something useful. Ideas have changed faster than we can get used to them; mindsets of entire nations have changed.

This is the perfect time to write an eBook that taps into the world as it is today and explains how some of those world changes will impact our everyday lives.

Old problems need new solutions. If you can find the problems and fill the need for solutions with your ideas and experience, you’ll have a winner of an eBook.

Browsers like to download eBooks on topics that interest them. They are usually free or inexpensive, don’t require production or shipping costs and are full of information they were looking for when they fell over your eBook.

Publishing an eBook is an entirely different ball game to publishing a physical book.

Books in print (hard copies) are very expensive to publish, costing several thousand dollars and it could be months or years before your mother will ever see your sweated-over tome in a bookstore window. Your universe might even have changed twice while you were writing your epic.

After spending the lengthy months required to write a book, submitting a print book to conventional publishing houses or to agents is similar to a vacation on Devil’s Island. You might be told “you’ve got what it takes” 30 times but it’s meaningless when your manuscript keeps coming back to you as fast as you mail it out to agents and publishers. It really doesn’t matter how good your book is if it doesn’t get past the multitude of editors looking for a reason to send it back to you.

A check of self-publishing options, “vanity presses”, can be just as grim and expensive. Most vanity publishers require minimal press runs while relieving you of your rainy-day savings. A press run between 500 and 2000 copies, including only printing and binding, might cost you several thousand dollars. Additional costs will include distribution, shipping and promotion. Do you have that much spare money to spend?

Before you do anything in this arena, do a Google search for “vanity press” (with quotes) and select among the 125,000 hits you will get for the information you need.

While all the steps required to get your book published as a traditional hard-copy book might make you change your mind entirely about doing this, let me assure you that there’s a much simpler, cheaper and faster way to get your book published and making sales.

OK, so you’re probably wondering why you should go to all the trouble of writing your book. How will you ever be able to afford either the time or the cash involved? Quit sitting at your computer and staring at a blank screen. Help has arrived.

eBooks have emerged out of the rapid change and evolution of the World Wide Web, and have become one of the most powerful ways to promote your business and educate people on any subject you can conjure up.

Your eBook can be sold from your own website. Once written and put in PDF format, it can be silently making sales for you all day and night without the intervention of a publisher. You are the publisher. Yes, YOU!

Say you have a passion for a special niche, stamp collecting, for example. Maybe you started your collection with your grandfather or dad when you were very young. What started with a few stamps and a tattered album has grown into a full-time hobby for you. You know all the prices, the best way to present your stamps to other collectors, where to buy reasonably-priced stamps, how to preserve them and, maybe, a few secret techniques you’ve developed yourself.

You have the perfect makings of an eBook to share your information with other collectors and make your reputation as an expert source in your niche.

Your eBook will promote your business silently while bringing much needed information to hungry stamp collectors. And if you find that you have more than enough information for one eBook (this is usually the case, more often than not), write another.

The wonderful thing about writing eBooks is that you can write them rapidly and have them online and making you money in a heartbeat.

You have now completed writing your E-Book, you have uploaded it to your Website, the payment processors are in place and after all that hard and time consuming work, it’s now time to sit back and wait to enjoy the remunerations that will shortly start rolling in.

Nothing could be further from reality and disappointment will hit in a very short period of time.

Getting noticed on-line requires some smarts so don’t believe that because all of the hard work you have just expended to get this product ready for sale, is a surety that the eager masses will arrive with credit cards in hand, because that simply won’t happen.

So what would be the next move?

There are many tools available on the web that could assist in marketing your book and ramping up your sales. These tools are used for many on-line promotions and are readily available.

Here are a few ways to get you started and when implemented will help you increase your sales

Now like all well thought out businesses, and before starting on any venture, the very first thing to do is create a long term plan. This being your first book, what about the second, third, fourth etc. Start the juices flowing as to where you are aiming to be with your on-line business in the next 5 years, 4 years, 3 years etc.

Consider diversification by not putting all your eggs in one basket. Try to establish several different income streams and put them into your long term plan. How about using audio and video to relay your informaton, just like the gurus are now doing. Securing Joint Ventures with industry experts would really push the volume of sales along. More on this later in this article.

Volume retailing could be achieved if your book details any of the popular subjects like, How To or Business or Self Improvement etc. where certain organizations or corporations would be interested in volume purchasing from you to give as a gift to their clients or employees or associates. Volume purchasing would require you to lower the per item price to a wholesale price but the you are now selling many to one customer as opposed to one or two at a time.

Credibility has to be earned and once this has been established as an author, maybe consider moving up to the next level. There is a lot of money to be made running seminars or coaching workshops or being a presenter at a seminar. These workshops and seminars are being held globally and if you have a niche market that appeals to the masses you should consider this as a viable extension to your business.

Create Joint Ventures. This is the fastest way to bring in sales because the person(s) you JV with will introduce your product to their opt-in list and many of these lists are many thousand strong. These JVs should be in a similar industry as yours and non competing of course. However joint ventures are exactly what the name implies, both parties contribute to achieve the end result, sales.

There are many courses on-line which go into great detail as to how joint ventures are put together and outlining the many ways these can be set up. It may be well worth the time and expense to invest in one of these courses because it can be quite involved, especially for the novice marketer.
