Letter From the Editor

I want to wish everyone a very happy holiday!

The Quick-Start 3-Day eBook Authoring Workshop exceeded my expectations. Some amazing ebooks are going to come out of it!

For those of you who wanted to take it but couldn't, don't worry, I have something really great planned so stay tuned!

On the homefront, we got offered a 3 month lease so we took it. So we're staying put for now! And it's a good thing, because my husband Christen is not well and it looks like he is going to have to have surgery for some benign tumors in his pancreas.

So please send him some healing energy-Thanks!

Podcasting Secrets Preview Call Replay
http://tinyurl.com/pocast4profits

Here are the top 3 reasons why you should listen to it:

  1. If you want to get off the time for money merry-go-round podcasting is  one medium that will help you start creating passive marketing and income from your ebook.

  2. We're becoming a mobile society. You have to give people content on their own terms or somebody else
    will and you'll lose!

  3. Paul Colligan and Alex Mandossian know their stuff!

So at least check it out. It's a 2 1/2 hour call for $20. Even if you don't take the course, you'll learn a lot.

What Will It Take For You
To Write Your eBook?

Research shows that 81% of people think they have a book or ebook in them, but less than 1% will ever write one! Why? Because they think it’s difficult. They think they don’t have enough to say. They think they aren’t good enough. They think it will take forever. They think they don’t have time.

As you can see, the excuses are numerous. But what I find really interesting is the difference between the people who take the leap and those who don’t.

For instance, I had someone who wanted to take my last workshop, but she was in Australia and with the time difference she felt she couldn’t possibly take it. But I had a participant who was from Australia in the workshop! He had to attend at all hours but he managed to do it!

Other people don’t take the workshop because they don’t know what they are going to write about-even though I specifically say that we will figure out what your best topic will be in the workshop.  The truth is that many people start out thinking they know what they are going to write about, but change their minds once they find out my criteria for writing a profitable ebook anyway!

Sometimes people take the workshop and keep changing topics so they can’t actually get anything written! But other people who are just as scared to move forward take it anyway, let whatever resistance they have come up, deal with it, and write fabulous ebooks!

So what’s the difference? In my experience, it’s their motivation. The more motivated you are, the better chance you have of completing any task you say you want to complete in your life, including writing an ebook.

So the question is what’s your motivation? And is it strong enough to carry you through? If not, find another one that will and you’ll be amazed at how fast you can accomplish writing your ebook or any other goal in your life! ! 

Reader's Q&A

Q:  What is the least amount of pages that still offer the most credibility?

A. I honestly don’t know. It really depends on what you are trying to say and how many pages you need to say it. But for me personally, it would be 80 pages..

Q: Special report pricing vs. ebook pricing?

A. Again it depends on the market. Most special reports are free or $7 dollars, but in some markets you can actually get a lot more than $47. In fact, in markets that don’t really read ebooks, a special report could go for a lot more - $199 or even more.

Trend-Tracking Tool 

ConvoTrack is a cool tool that allows you to instantly see what people who are online are saying about  particular articles, blog posts and other communications, so you can get a bigger picture on a subject than just localized comments. This will help you track trends for niches and ebook topic ideas.

The way it works is ConvoTrack pops up as a sidebar next to any web page you're on with links to posts from social networking sites.

To get access to the sidebar, put the URL, http://convotrack.com  right before the URL of the page you will be viewing.

Note: You need to put the entire URL of the site you're on or the article you're reading after that prefix, including http. For example, if you were at CNN you would put in  http://convotrack.com/http://cnn.com/.

Tech Tip

If you want to use 1 Shopping Cart
http://snipurl.com/splashmarketing for your shopping cart, but want to use Aweber
http://sn.im/smartautoresponders or another autoresponder,  you have to do the following: 

Once people make their purchase you will have to have a page that thanks them for their order, then let's them know there is one more step.

Then have them put in their name and email address which hooks up to Aweber or another autoresponder of your choosing..  That's the only way to take them from 1 Shopping Cart to another autoresponder system without losing them.

If you wait until after they get their purchase they will never take the next step and opt into your list.
