Free Stuff

Looking for a free FTP program so you can upload your ebooks to the Internet?

Here are a few you can check out:

Coffee Cup http://www.coffeecup.com/freestuff/

If you use FireFox, there is an add-on that is free: http://fireftp.mozdev.org/

Core FTP

(If you want to upload your own ebooks and other files and you need good support then I recommend WS_FTPPRO Explorer; it’s $89.00)

Tech Tip

Make sure that not only are your files backed up on your computer, but that your website and pages are backed up as well. They are NOT the same!

Ask your hosting company if they back up your website and how often they do it.  Also ask them if they have a way for you to back your site(s) up yourself.

You should be able to use what's called a "C-Panel." Some companies allow you to get there by going to your Host Manager.

Either way, be sure you back up your sites!

Also make sure that you don’t create your webpages, newsletters, blogs and anything else you write on line. Create documents off line and save a copy to your computer before uploading them to your server. That way if your site goes down you have a copy of each page entry, and/or post. 

It will save you a lot of time and aggravation!

Happy Thanksgiving!

With all the doom and gloom about the economy I have some good news to report!

According to a CNN television segment I saw a couple of days ago, one sector of the economy that’s growing is education. And not just formal education, but “Life Enrichment” courses too! And that is good news for all of us because that is what writing ebooks is all about-enriching
people’s lives! And the truth is that this month will probably be my highest grossing month of the year! So don’t be fooled by the naysayers!

So this thanksgiving I am giving thanks that I have been given the opportunity to live in the best country in the world and the land of opportunity, (and I say that humbly, not with arrogance) and for the opportunity to make a great living doing what I love to do - writing ebooks and sharing what I’ve learned the hard way with all of you so you can share in the abundance that is out there just waiting for you! 

I also give thanks for my husband, my brother and his family, all my good friends, wonderful students and subscribers and for the great food! It's my favorite!

 Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Great Places To Find Winning Topics
For Your eBooks

Have you ever noticed that when you focus on something, it starts to show up everywhere - like when you buy a new car in a great new color thinking you’re going to stand out from the crowd, and then suddenly everywhere you turn you see that color car! 

The same is true when you are looking for winning ideas for your next ebook - they are everywhere. You just have to focus on finding them! Here are some great places to look for your next winning topic.

1.      Look at your own experiences: I find that a lot of my ideas come from my own frustrations and problems. When I have an issue or problem, I figure out how to make the process easier, quicker, or better and then turn it into an ebook or product idea, and you can do the same! When you can find a better way to do something for people you can make big money.

2.      Tune in to the media: There are more media outlets than ever that you can tap into to find great ideas for your ebooks, including: newspapers, television, news websites, blogs, social networking sites, article sites, and more. Take advantage of them!

3.      Keep Your Ears Open: You never know when you are going to hear a great idea. Maybe it’s hanging out at Starbucks or while you’re having dinner in a restaurant. Keep one ear on the conversations around you, but be discreet. This is a great way to find out what people are interested in and it can also provide winning ideas for ebooks!

4.      Listen To Your Clients: The best way to find new ideas is to ask your clients - if you have a list. They are the ones who will be purchasing your ebooks, so listen to what they want and give it to them and you will sell a lot of ebooks!

5.      Do a customer appreciation day. Allow your clients or subscribers to call in and chat with you at no charge. You will learn more from them then they will learn from you! You can also do $97 consults and take notes! You’ll not only learn, but get paid at the same time! 

If you would like to learn more about getting started writing your ebook, save the date: Monday, December 1st, for a free preview teleseminar for my upcoming Quick-Start 3-Day eBook Authoring Workshop The Fundamentals of eBook Writing For Massive Profits, where we'll be discussing finding your keywords, how to find your target market, the easiest way to find a winning topic, and much more. Check your emails for details. 

Q & A

Q:  One of the questions I get asked most often is “How do I get started marketing my ebook?” 

A:  I think one of the best ways to get started is to start a blog. It doesn’t cost anything (unless you have a web person customize it) and you can be up and running in just a few minutes. You can even start blogging about your subject and building your list before you even finish your ebook! So if you don’t have a blog, start one today! 

Q.  If I want to start a blog what’s the best one to use?

A: Wordpress.org is the industry standard, but if you aren’t tech savvy it can be challenging if you don’t have help.  Use typepad.com if you want to do it yourself. There is a monthly charge.
