E-book Tips
Hi Everybody
Hope you are all well. Sometimes we need a bit of inspiration, here a couple of quotes I came across.
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. - Eleanor Roosevelt, 1884-1962, American Humanitarian and Former First Lady of the United States.
Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. - Wayne Dyer, American Psychotherapist/Author/Lecturer.
One of the things that I enjoy doing in my spare time is writing short stories and sometimes articles about things that I enjoy doing. Its also a good way of starting out in writting and you could even end up writting your first e-book this way.
You can break an e-book/article or even an ezine into a four components and everything you need to do falls within these four steps.
1.Content: Give away valuable information for free.
2.Formatting: Make your article/e-book look nice and easy to read.
3.Distribution: Send it out electronically, so its received quickly and efficiently.
4.List Building: Constantly work on building your list.
The most important thing about articles and e-books is the content especially if it is going to be free, because you can give things away free but if the content is not useful to anybody or helpful…you will not even be able to give it away for free.
So if for example you want to promote something you are doing..a good way is giving away a free e-book/reportor article to promote your product, it must at least have 85% useful worthwhile information that the reader could benefit from and 15% to promote your product. I would always try to make the useful content at least 90% so the reader does not feel that a sales message is being pushed down their throat.
The content is king on the web. It does not matter what sort of business you are in if you want to sell on the web you need to do it through your content. The term for this is Marketing with content, it is one of the most succesful ways of attracting potential customers to your business.
One of the best ways is to have your own free news letter to send out content to potential customers. Always make what ever you write exciting,interesting and useful for your audience, so that they want to stay subscribed to your newsletter.
If you have a skill or knowledge about about a particular field, use that knowledge to help and inform people, they will find useful and helpful.
For example if you are a gym instructor, write about healthy eating and exercising…you get the idea.
