EBook (free business websites) marketing
By HARJOT TIWANA
The buzz in writing circles these days is all about self-publishing Ebooks. They hear that eBook are giving authors that added income in between getting their print books published, but they have lots of questions before taking that first step.
“How do I make one?”
“What do I write about?”
“Does anyone even buy Ebooks?”
Actually, putting together an eBook is simple. You write about something you are familiar, put it in a .puff or .exe file and voila, instant eBook that you can sell off your website and make a few dollars, or even thousands of dollars depending on your promotional efforts, and you’re all set.
Authors and entrepreneurs are doing this all the time and there’s no reason why you can’t either.
The first step is determining what you want to write about, of course, and what your goal is for writing your eBook.
In 2004, I became published in print format for the first time. It was for an anthology of soul mate stories. The main reason I wanted to put this book together was because I had a goal in mind. I wanted to show people who have given up on soul mates that they did indeed exist.
After it was published, I started a marketing campaign. I had heard that Ebooks were all the rage and that you could make some pretty decent money off of them, so I gave it a try.
I started on another book on relationships, but while waiting on this book to be finished (which was taking an incredible amount of time due to research), I decided to try my hand at writing an eBook and selling it off of my website for added income while I waited on my print book projects to be finished.
This eBook was also centered on the soul mate relationship, which I felt would add to my expertise and would help sell my print books.
It worked.
Even though I only had the eBook up on my website and just a few online storefronts, the orders were coming in. However, I became disillusioned because I didn’t just want to sell a few copies; I wanted to sell hundreds or perhaps more.
I developed a plan.
Not only did I list it with any website that would announce my book, write up press releases and send them to every free press release service out there, and a myriad of other places, but I decided I’d write another eBook and give it away free to all those who bought my paying eBook.

This eBook was shorter, but to the point.
After I became successful using this promotional device to sell my paying eBook, I found this experience very rewarding and learned quite a few things in the process:
1.) you do not need a publisher to publish your book.
2.) Self-published Ebooks DO sell and create that added income while you’re waiting for your print books to sell.
3.) Writing Ebooks help give you expert status.
4.) Your Ebooks are 100% profit.
5.) The more you promote and make you and your eBook visible, the more income you will make.
Writing Ebooks and selling them yourself without the middleman - the publisher - is a great way to make money. Turn that “starving writer” moniker into “successful writer” and start cranking out those Ebooks. Once you start, you’ll wonder why you never thought of this great way of bringing added income into your household before!

Product Launches, How To Use Teleseminars And Video Squeeze Pages
By Matt Bacak
I’m getting ready to do two teleseminars per month in different markets involving distressed real estate investing. What is the fastest way that I can build my list to attract commission real estate brokers and investors for an intro $44.97 seminar that will up sell them into a $5,000 seminar with a two day workshop after that?
Answer: If you are specifically looking for these commission real estate brokers and investors then you need to team up with other information real estate marketers out there and do a teleseminar together that sells people into your seminar.
You will build a list faster offline. Use offline direct mail lists and market to them offline to really identify who your list is. You can’t buy an email list and market to them online because this is considered spam.
Question #2: I’m doing a launch in a couple of weeks and will be using a video squeeze page. I have a ton of testimonials just for the free stuff I already gave out. I also have testimonials for the actual product itself when I did a mini-launch. My initial small list is 500 people. I’m doing a launch that coincides with the US Open Tennis tournament in late August to make the launch an event.
Should my testimonials that I use for my product go on the video squeeze page that I’m using to build my list for my product launch? If so where on that page should the testimonials be?
Answer: No, but it is worth testing. I recommend that as soon as they opt-in say, Thank you very much for subscribing. Here is what people are saying about me. Get ready for a message coming from me very soon.
Having a lot of testimonials on the page can be good or bad. You really have to test it to see. I usually find the best testimonial and put it on the page. Use Google Analytics or Hyper Tracker to test it.
Use the time before the launch to start testing it. This way you will have a better promotion.
Question #3: A product launch I’m doing is leading into a continuity membership site and I’d like to get the squeeze page right. I want to get as many people as possible enrolled in the membership during the website launch.
Answer: I would highly urge you to split test. Drive traffic to the page and see which modifications yield you the most conversions.
