Ebooks for Profit and Publicity


How would you like to find a great and easy way to get a lot of free publicity for your online business and also get a second stream of income?

Whether you wish to cost-effectively promote your current business or web site, or you wish to get a new significant income stream, publishing yourself is an excellent idea that deserves your serious consideration. Why? Because book publishing is a $25 billion industry in the U.S. alone, it touches millions of lives, it is very viral, it powers the information economy, it feeds the need to know things (a need that people will always have), and you can get into it right now very easily both for profit and promotional purposes. It is an industry that is growing tremendously as people feel the need to know more and more. The publishing industry is almost five times larger than Hollywoods movie industry. You can get in on it right now, in a few minutes, and start using it to cost-effectively promote your business or have a new income stream.

Anyone can be an author, especially when it comes to nonfiction books and ebooks. Everybody has at least one book in them. You are a unique person, and that makes you posses a unique collection of knowledge, experiences and perspectives that thousands of people out there would wish to hear about. Perhaps you know how to make great candles at home. Or you may know how to market certain products well. Or you may be a great listener. Or you may have some great skills when it comes to looking after pets. Perhaps you know how to save and invest money very well. Or you notice that your friends love to listen to you when you talk sports because of all that you know. These and many other skills are in high demand and desired by certain people all over the world. You do have a book inside you. Everyone does. And with todays electronic publishing and marketing options, you can produce it for almost no money and market it for very little and still profit very well.

Even if you do not wish to make money in publishing, ebooks and books are excellent ways to promote your regular business, especially online businesses. Ebooks especially are fantastic at achieving this. This is because the top three activities performed online are downloading, searching for information and emailing, and ebooks are downloadable information products that can be emailed. They are highly viral, getting passed on from one person to another if they contain useful information. Therefore, whatever business you may be in, by writing a short ebook with useful information related to your industry you establish yourself as a credible authority, get the trust of your customers, get yourself considered as a point of reference, and best of all you get a useful product that you can give away free at no cost to you and have people pass it on to each other thus giving you free promotion. An informative, small ebook can end up being passed on to thousands of potential customers!
at no cost to you. Of course, your free ebooks would have to contain genuinely useful information that is somehow related to your products and services that you do sell. They would also contain references to your products and ordering information. Your ebooks would become your free sales reps, duplicated and passed on from customer to customer even while you sleep.

You can easily learn how to write ebooks by looking at the various web sites such as Dan Poynters Para Publishing web site and many others. (See http://www.imagesofone.com/articles/reviews.asp for over 100 URLs to useful sites regarding all aspects of ebook and book writing and promotion). Writing is easy for non-fiction works. Just write in a natural conversational way. Write the way you talk to people. Next, get it in the right format. If you are going to have it printed, you may wish to consider making it easy for yourself by using the services of iUniverse or Xlibris. These two companies will get your book in print for as little as $99 as a print-on-demand title and get it available on Amazon.com and 200 other online bookshops. Your book will also be available for order from any bookstore in North America. If you are creating an ebook, then the two most popular formats to make it in are Adobe Acrobat PDF and Microsoft Reader. PDF files can be read by over 30 million Acrob!
at users (and new users can download the reader free). Microsoft Reader is also free and, as a bonus, can read the files even on Pocket PC computers. You can find a free PDF writer software package. The Microsoft Reader creator is free.

Writing is just 10% of the job involved. Most of the work, the 90%, comes in when it comes to getting people to know about your ebook. Like any other business, marketing is 90% of the job. Fortunately, it is extremely easy and affordable to market books and ebooks if you know exactly what to do.

Only a small percentage of all books published are sold in book shops! Yes, the vast majority of books and ebooks are sold outside of bookshops! This is probably the most surprising thing to new authors. So where are they sold? Well, they are sold in dozens of places, including:

Online
Book clubs
Corporations
Book clubs
Associations and foundations
Retail outlets
Specialty shops
Direct mail
Catalogs
Libraries
In cross-promotions
In the incentives marketplace
Packaged together with complimentary products
And dozens of other places!

However, getting reviews by the top reviewers and the press is the single most cost effective and powerful way of getting sales for your books and ebooks. First of all, the reviews will get you publicity and drive retail and wholesale sales your way. Also, when you do get the reviews, quote those reviews on your book cover, your web site, your press releases, your sales materials, when you ask for more reviews, and whenever you tell people about your book orally or in print. Reviews greatly increase your book sales by increasing the confidence people have in your book. People are often skeptical and will not trust you straight away until they see that many people already do trust you and your work. Reviews in the press also get you plenty of publicity. And finally, most wholesalers and libraries depend on reviews to figure out what books they shall buy. So use reviews and testimonials extensively!

But dont stop there. There are hundreds of places and ways you can sell your book. For many books, bookstores only account for less than 10% of their sales. Yes, even best-sellers! Publishing a book truly makes you into a marketing expert because you simply have to sell, sell, sell. But worry not, for it is easy. Be willing to learn from people who know how to sell books and you will find it easy. Fortunately, there is plenty of material out there that shows you exactly how to sell books. Get into it! it could be the best thing you have done for yourself recently!

Once



Once
Even those allergic to musicals may be won over by Once, a tender-hearted Irish romance with songs by Czech Republic-born Markéta Irglová and Frames frontman Glen Hansard. (The film's director, John Carney, actually used to play bass in the group.) The trick here is that Irglová and Hansard also play the leads; because their characters are shown busking, writing music, or rehearsing, the songs are smoothly integrated in the film. The overall acoustic mood won't surprise fans of the Frames--some tracks ("Say It to Me," "When Your Mind's Made Up") have even popped up on the band's albums, though the arrangements are more pared-down here, befitting the scruffy, street-musician setting. Being the lesser-known entity, Irglová feels like a revelation; she sounds a bit like a folkie Björk on "If You Want Me," and her song "The Hill" is downright heartbreaking. Irglová and Hansard had already made the 2006 album The Swell Seasontogether, so their collaboration here feels really organic--they sound particularly good together on the title track, for instance. Now that's the kind of magic you want from musicals. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Review: Once

Love it, love it, love it! The movie was great, the cd was great but seeing them live is even better! :)

Customer Review: I only need to say this "once"..........

I genuinely LOVE this soundtrack. Glen Hansard is incredibly talented. His style seems influenced by: (insert any great acoustic artist before him here). The song arrangement is also amazing. And Marketa Irglova's hauntingly soft voice is sweet and pure.

The Weight Loss Cure



The Weight Loss Cure
"Number one New York Times best-selling author, Kevin Trudeau, introduces his new book, The Weightloss Cures They Don't Want You To Know About. This is previously censored material now available to the public. If you are overweight - all of these problems are addressed in the book, and the specific products and ways to cure these diseases are listed. If you want to lose weight easier, and faster than ever before, you need this book. You will learn the secrets of how to lose weight without crazy dieting, without going hungry, without depriving yourself of the food you enjoy, without crazy exercise, without taking pills, and without being tired, rundown and grumpy. You will learn how to keep the weight off for ever. "

Customer Review: Dramatic weight loss

After reading this book three times, I finally decided to give it a try. Well, my weight loss was absolutely fabulous. Everything that Kevin said was in fact true. Yeah, it is a 500 calorie a day diet, but you do not get hungry. What you do feel is that you miss food. But, if you drink the teas recommended, they give you energy, speed up your metabolism and give you a sense of wellness. You can actually taste the medicinal properties in them. What I found interesting is that in those six weeks, I lost about 30lbs. It was very dramatic because all my friends talked about how much of my stomach was gone, but most importantly how healthy that I looked. About the same time, I noticed coworkers loosing weight. And, as Kevin mentioned in the book, they lost structural fat and not excess fat as I did. They did not look well to me. But I looked fabulous. At the end of the six weeks, interestingly enough I had no desire to binge. I did not run for the chocolate. I still eat it, but I truly made a lifestyle change. To date, I have managed to loose 65 lbs. Once you understand WHY you are fat, it is far easier to loose it. Kudos to Kevin.



To get the hCG shots that he recommends, you can find out where to get it on his website. I got mine from a pharmacy in Florida.

Customer Review: Misleading

I ordered this book after seeing the infomercial. It is very misleading, his solution is to use a drug available only overseas. I returned the book within the time period and after calling the 800 for a return code. This took 15 minutes of hold time and I didn't get my money back. Not worth it!

Customer Review: Ordinary Backpack

I purchased this backpack for my high schooler, who always seems to run through backpacks incredibly fast. The review made the product seem superior than other backpacks, and it was more expensive than the ones I usually find at our local mass-merchandise store. The backpack turned out to be nothing more than the ordinary ones we buy.

If your child isn't carrying a heavy load of books on a daily basis, this would have worked; however mine does, and this backpack is no different than the cheaper ones at any store.

Customer Review: Excellent bookbag, great price

Jan sport book bags are always last forever. I have three and I probably could use only one for everything. They are very durable. This particular one, I decided to buy because it has many compartments and is bigger than the average book bag. I love how all of the compartments are, they are perfect or all of me needs. I would recommend this book bag to anyone who is in school. I am in college and it is very useful because i can put many things in this book bag and not have to carry around much else. There are also very wide and comfortable straps.

One Boy's Struggle: A Memoir: Surviving Life with Undiagnosed ADD



Mulan (1998)



Mulan (1998)
Solid entertainment from a new group of Disney animators. The story source is a Chinese fable about a young girl who disguises herself as a man to help her family and her country. When the Huns attack China, a call to arms goes out to every village, and Mulan's father, being the only man in the family, accepts the call. Mulan (voiced by Ming-Na Wen, sung by Lea Salonga) has just made a disastrous appearance at the Matchmaker and decides to challenge society's expectations (being a bride). She steals her father's conscription notice, cuts her hair, and impersonates a man to join the army. She goes to boot camp, learning to fit in with the other soldiers with some help from her sidekick, Mushu, a wise-cracking dragon (voiced by Eddie Murphy). She trains, and soon faces the Huns eye-to-eye to protect her Emperor.

The film is gorgeous to look at, with a superior blend of classic and computer-generated animation. Directors Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook make the best of it: a battle in the snowy mountains is as thrilling as the best Hollywood action films. The menacing Huns are not cute but simple and bad. The wickedness is subtle, not disturbing. The film is not a full-fledged musical, as it has only five songs (the best, "Be a Man," is sung during boot camp). Eddie Murphy is an inspired choice for the comic-relief dragon, but his lines are not as clever as Robin Williams's in Aladdin. These are minor quibbles, though. The story is strong, and Mulan goes right to the top of Disney animated heroines; she has the right stuff. --Doug Thomas

Customer Review: Real classic, Everyone should keep a copy of this

this movie is a cross-cultural classic, the story is great, the songs are wonderful, everyone should have one of this

Customer Review: Good

This product was in the exact condition I was told it would be in, and it arrived in good time. I enjoy buying products from Amazon, becuase I know that the quatily is always above average, and that if there was a problem, Amazon would take action!

Customer Review: Ordinary Backpack

I purchased this backpack for my high schooler, who always seems to run through backpacks incredibly fast. The review made the product seem superior than other backpacks, and it was more expensive than the ones I usually find at our local mass-merchandise store. The backpack turned out to be nothing more than the ordinary ones we buy.

If your child isn't carrying a heavy load of books on a daily basis, this would have worked; however mine does, and this backpack is no different than the cheaper ones at any store.

Customer Review: Excellent bookbag, great price

Jan sport book bags are always last forever. I have three and I probably could use only one for everything. They are very durable. This particular one, I decided to buy because it has many compartments and is bigger than the average book bag. I love how all of the compartments are, they are perfect or all of me needs. I would recommend this book bag to anyone who is in school. I am in college and it is very useful because i can put many things in this book bag and not have to carry around much else. There are also very wide and comfortable straps.

Customer Review: I think my last brain liked it

I read this book, grabbed a hacksaw and a some salad tongs and, believe you me, my life HAS changed!

Customer Review: YES!

Absolutely fantastic and engaging. The most important thing this book has to offer is hope and I am for any and all books which offer realistic hope. I have suffered through a lot in my life and have overcome nearly as much, but book after book left me wanting. This book did not. It delivered. I have always needed improvement for my brain - I have ADD, suffered from PTSD and Depression.

One Boy's Struggle: A Memoir: Surviving Life with Undiagnosed ADD



Mulan (1998)



Mulan (1998)
Solid entertainment from a new group of Disney animators. The story source is a Chinese fable about a young girl who disguises herself as a man to help her family and her country. When the Huns attack China, a call to arms goes out to every village, and Mulan's father, being the only man in the family, accepts the call. Mulan (voiced by Ming-Na Wen, sung by Lea Salonga) has just made a disastrous appearance at the Matchmaker and decides to challenge society's expectations (being a bride). She steals her father's conscription notice, cuts her hair, and impersonates a man to join the army. She goes to boot camp, learning to fit in with the other soldiers with some help from her sidekick, Mushu, a wise-cracking dragon (voiced by Eddie Murphy). She trains, and soon faces the Huns eye-to-eye to protect her Emperor.

The film is gorgeous to look at, with a superior blend of classic and computer-generated animation. Directors Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook make the best of it: a battle in the snowy mountains is as thrilling as the best Hollywood action films. The menacing Huns are not cute but simple and bad. The wickedness is subtle, not disturbing. The film is not a full-fledged musical, as it has only five songs (the best, "Be a Man," is sung during boot camp). Eddie Murphy is an inspired choice for the comic-relief dragon, but his lines are not as clever as Robin Williams's in Aladdin. These are minor quibbles, though. The story is strong, and Mulan goes right to the top of Disney animated heroines; she has the right stuff. --Doug Thomas
