Ebook Profits - Why Your Title Will Determine How Many Ebooks You Sell



By Connie Ragen Green

The title of your ebook will be the single most important factor in whether you are successful in selling it on the internet. Without a catchy title that tells people what your ebook is about and how it will help them to solve their problem, you will find the process of selling it online to be a long and arduous process.

So how do toy come up with a great title? Here are some ways to work on finding the one that is best for your ebook:
  • Make a list of the benefits of your writing. Think about it as your reader would. What's in it for them? Will they be able to lose weight quickly, learn how to purchase a home for less than market value, or be able to find the perfect man or woman for a relationship? Be specific with these phrases.
  • Look at your keywords. These are the words and phrases people type in when they go to a search engine to look for information on the subject they are interested in. Use these keywords in your title so that your target audience will know you are speaking directly to them.
  • Play around with the words. Alliteration, using the same sounds at the beginning of each word, works very well with titles. An example of this would be something like "Sensuous Salads and Sandwiches" for a book about cooking foods that will get your mate in a romantic mood after dinner. Another thing to consider is the beginning sounds of words. Depending upon your topic, you may want harder sounding letters in your title, as opposed to the softer sounds.
  • Make a list of potential titles and let many people look at them. If you have a list already, ask these people to help you choose a title. Ask them what they think the book is about just by looking at the title.
Whereas a great title will not sell a poorly written book, a poor title will keep you from selling as many ebooks as you possibly can.

Home Based Computer Business - Free ebook



By Brian McGregor

There are literally thousands of different types of potential home based computer business that you could start. Fortunately, we have the marvelous Google to help us research what will most suitable for you or for me.

A good place to start is to decide what we are prepared to commit to our new home based computer business, before we actually begin researching for opportunities which might meet our criteria.

Here are three of the fundamental considerations:

1. Money

When starting any business, you can expect to pay some costs. These will normally be in several areas. You may need to purchase items before you can sell them for profit. You might need to pay a licence fee for the privilege of being in the business you choose. You may have to invest in marketing - it is unlikely that you will get your business off the ground without any marketing spend.

You may need to invest in new PC equipment. If your present PC configuration is aged, you could find it necessary to update or indeed replace your system. Also, there could be the need to buy new software in order to operate your business in the way which is most effective.

In summary, create a spreadsheet, and commit potential expenditure to it and work out how much you need to invest up front. Be honest with yourself. There is no point in under estimating your costs – your business will find you out. Also, it will pay you to be pessimistic in your sales forecasts. It’s a fact that 90% of business fail in the first few months. This is frequently due to the expectation of income being too optimistic. It will always take you longer to make that first sale. And it will always take you longer than you think to break even.

2. Time

The second major consideration is about how much time you can commit to your new home based computer business. This is another area in setting up your business which is usually under estimated. There are always unexpected activities which arise as you move forward.

You might plan to spend only a portion of your spare time hours in running your new business. What happens is that the time you are required to invest will stretch to virtually take up every waking hour you can spare. So be prepared.

3. Expertise

If you’ve never set up any business before, then you are at the worst end of the learning curve. Not only are you asking yourself to know all about your products and markets, you also have the unavoidable overhead of simply being in business.

When you set up your first business, and you are doing it single handedly, you have to be your own sales person, marketer, accountant, storeman, order processor, debt collector, payment processor, personnel department etc.

The keys are to be prepared, and to be realistic. It’s a big ask, and is why if you make it you can be very proud of yourself.

Product Creation Secrets - The Key To Creating A Successful, Profitable eBook



By James Penn

Product creation is one of the most important aspects of internet marketing. In order to be a recognised success, you need to have your own information products, in the form of eBooks.
Many people go about creating their products the wrong way though. They make one fundamental error that ultimately contributes 100% to their downfall.

This one mistake is simply providing a poor quality product. A product that doesn’t deliver on its promises. A product that fails to teach the reader what it should. Ultimately, a product that is worthless and a waste of the customers’ hard earned money.

By producing a poor quality eBook, the publisher sacrifices the insane amount of profits they could be making in sales.

Word of mouth is the most powerful marketing tool, and without a quality product do you really think customers are going to recommend their friends and family? Do you think JV partners will want to promote your product? Do you think affiliates will join your affiliate programme and start generating you sales? Do you think anyone in their right mind will want to be associated with your product in any way whatsoever?

I’d be embarrassed to put my name on a low quality product, and hopefully, you would be to… so don’t!

Creating a quality product takes no longer than it would if you were to create a poor eBook, so get it right from the start and make your product stand out from the endless amount of other products already available.
