Four Key Points To Your Success Selling "Niche" E-Books Online.



With today's advanced technology it has never been easier for someone to start their own publishing business.


You can create and market your own ebook (electronic book) for an unbelievably low price (sometimes free). Furthermore, because the ebook is not a book but a computer file, you can offer it for immediate download once the purchase has taken place. The computer file is then downloaded (or copied) to the purchaser's home computer, but you still own the original (or copy).


You have a continual inventory, night and day, without having to re-stock. There is no office space required, no staff other than yourself, and a fully automated payment and delivery system which requires very little maintenance. This really is the perfect business. The ultimate business.


Consumers are hungry for information. And they want it now! Electronic products provide the information and have immediate access.


Here are four key points that I wish to make here.


1. The information is out there, and it seems that everyone is trying to sell it. The same information, sometimes packaged differently but not always. I'm sure you've seen the adverts. The identical adverts selling the exact-same-identical product. One of the ways to be successful in this virtually new arena is to provide "niche" products. Information that no-one else is selling.


I could not even begin to do the subject justice in a small article such as this. I have (quite literally, whilst searching for inspiration) just found a gem of an ebook on the subject of "niche" ebook publishing. I am not affiliated with this ebook in any way, shape, or form. I simply offer it to help you, and because the information contained within is just too good. http://www.ebookresource.info/pages/downpages/business.html#n.


2. Duplicate your efforts. It is unlikely, but not unheard of, that you will stumble upon a product that everyone wants and will pay you huge sums of money to get their hands on. Duplication, or multiple streams of income, is the sure-fire way to success when it comes to selling information products online.


Write your first ebook and market like crazy, but don't lose sight of the longer term. Have one eye focused on your next ebook project. For example, I had my first sales page up and working within a few short days, complete with affiliate scheme and shopping cart. I marketed my ebook like crazy. A few days later, I had my second ebook online and ready to go. I marketed my second ebook like crazy. Do you see where this is leading? It is highly unlikely that you will hit a winner with just one ebook, but multiply your efforts over a number of products and sell a few of each every week, and soon you will be reaping the benefits.


3. Offer something for free. On all my websites I offer a free ebook to download. I make sure that it is of the highest quality, because if it isn't my customers will assume that the product I'm selling is of the same standard. A good place to get free etext to turn into an ebook is Project Gutenburg at http://www.gutenberg.org. Most of the etext here is out of copyright, but check the license of anything that you "borrow" from this site. The license is always included within the text file. For example, on my UFO Report site I am giving away a free copy of Jules Vernes' "Around the Moon." I downloaded this as a plain text file and converted it to a pdf file, making sure I had a link back to my website at the beginning and end of the ebook. I have also offered my free ebook to a number of ebook directories to give away. Not only am I giving away something free on my website, but I have my ebook listed on other websites across the web. With links back to my own site included, of course.


This is viral marketing, and it works incredibly well. On auto-pilot. Put a few hours work in at the beginning, then just sit back and reap the rewards. For years to come, with no more effort on your part. Let your free ebook guide people to your site. Another point to make here is that you should offer something free that is closely related to what you are selling. Thus, the people downloading your free ebook will already be predisposed toward the product you are selling.


4. Cross-promote your products/websites. However many products/websites you have, link them all together. Put a banner at the top/bottom of the page. Put a small, unobtrusive button down the left-hand side of the page. I always create a "Links" page for my websites, and try to gain exposure by linking to other websites in this way. It is important to remember that links to websites with similar subject material to yours will be of far greater value than links to unrelated websites. These are called "quality links" and most of the search engines love them.


I'm off to start work on my next project now. I wish you every success in your "niche" ebook venture.

TARGUS TLE300 -- Protect your portable computing investment, and travel in style, with this elegantly practical Black Leather Notebook Case. Interior dimensions - 11.6H x 14W x 2D

Customer Review: Works well for my Mac!

My main concern was this was going to be a PC centric bag with no thought for the Mac. Well, it fits my Macbook Pro just perfectly and safely. I can store all the extras in the outside pocket and have plenty of room for incidentals, as well as have the other side for paperwork I don't want to be turned into premature recyclable pulp. My only wish was they had a genuine Brown, non-dyed version. I could find no other manufacturer making a nicer model in natural color so this seemed to be the best bet. I've had it for a while now and it's been working out just fine.

Customer Review: great case

I received the notebook case in just a few days from my order and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the case. The service was excellent and I would by from this vendor again.

Transformers Robot Fighters Game



Transformers Robot Fighters Game
Meet Transformer robot fighters Optimus Prime and Megatron. Ideal for ages 6 and older, these two robots compete in head-to-head battle. The first to knock their opponent off the base wins.

Action Figures for a New Generation
Modeled after the hit 1980's TV series and recent movie, this Transformers Robot Fighter game includes detailed figures of Optimus Prime and Megatron. Parents can have it ready in a matter of minutes; just slap on a few stickers, put the robots on their stand, and the battle begins. Playing this game is simple: The action figures perform ruthless kicks and punches as your galactic young mastermind twists and turns the knob. One minor design flaw is that the limbs move only at the shoulders and hips, thereby limiting the moves they can make. But they are built to last and loads of fun. These Transformers should integrate nicely into your child's regular action figure collection.

What We Think


Fun Factor:

Durability:

(what this means)

The Good: Fun, exciting, designed for small hands

The Bad: Strike plate is small, hard to hit

In a Nutshell: Provides hours of entertainment

At a Glance

Ages: 6 and older
Requires: No batteries or power source required
Defeat on Battle Platform, or Play Anywhere
Transformers have been around for decades and are now more popular than ever. This game allows children to decide the outcome of the endless battle between Megatron and Optimus Prime. Kicks and punches can be completed on command, and knocking your opponent off the platform is quite a challenge.

Keep track of hits with the zero-to-five bar--the first one to land five hits wins the game. Or defeat your opponent by targeting the strike plate and knocking the robot off the platform. When taken off the base, the Transformers stand on flat surfaces and make a great everyday toy.

Easy and Action-Packed
After being a staple of virtually every home in the 1980's, Transformers are now a favorite for the new generation. With a simple design and easy game play, this toy amuses little boys for hours. Shaped like a joystick, the base features a slick futuristic design adorned with the Transformers logo.

Lightweight and durable, the base is easy for small hands to control and maneuver. The action figures boast intricate details and moveable joints at the hips and shoulders. One minor design flaw is that their knees and elbows don't bend. When playing the game, the warriors are somewhat limited to sidekicks and uppercuts, but once the fighting frenzy begins, most children won't notice.

Another slight drawback is that to knock your opponent off the platform, you have to hit the strike plate, which is so small it is nearly impossible to reach. Kids will enjoy trying to land five hits first and the numbered bar at the top allows them to easily keep track of their score. Overall, the Transformers Robot Fighters game is simple to play and packed with action.

What's in the Box
2 robot Transformer action figures, 2 bases, and decorative decals


Customer Review: Transformer Excitement

We gave these Transformers to our great-nephew for his sixth birthday--among other gifts. When he opened the box, he hugged the box, and tried to tell everyone what he had just gotten. He was so excited that it took several tries to get the words out. They are now his favorite toys. As an aunt (and 9 time grandmother), I too love these toys--especially the fact that they do not need batteries.

Customer Review: Fun for the first few minutes...

My kids got this for christmas, and it was something they had really been excited about. They played it a few times christmas morning, once a couple of days later, and have not even touched it since. It is a little bit on the simple side- all it is is optimus prime and megatron on their own little stands, then you twist this little handle trying to knock the other off their stand. I think its boring to play, the kids like it okay, but they lose interest after a couple of times of knocking them off. I'm glad it was a good price at christmas, otherwise I think it would have been a waste of money.
