Today's self publishing book Article
Internet Advertising Using Free Give Away E-books - Viral Marketing at Its BEST


Unlike all the Mini Website Landing page we have view, we give away a free E-book just for Landing on our page, but we get a ?Name and Email Address? before we give away the book, we have done this by adding the free give away at the very end of our Landing page, I have worked it out that if they did not buy then I might as well get something for my trouble i.e.: Name and Email Address, so the Landing page should always give me something.

I know the normal thinking on this, in that I am drawing attention away from the Closing the Sale but if they are not going to buy then they are not going to buy and I have lost a future customer, by using the give-away I am increasing my chances of gaining more than one customer.

I do the same on my Index page, I have compiled a load of FREE stuff into an E-book and I simply give it away just for visiting my site, I do not take any ?Names nor Email Addresses?, because most people do not like to hand out their Names and Address just to get a book, this would defeat the purpose of the book, in that I want it to go Viral.

Most people landing on my Index Page will open the free book ensuring a larger distribution of the book hence the book will draw more browsers and in effect more customers.

I do the same here as I have done on Landing pages, and placed it at the very end of the page and rather than going to the new page it is set to open a new window, there-by keeping my Main web page open.

Both FREE books are Viral or Stealth marking at its best, it may take a bit of time to expand around the web but they will and they will pay dividends in the end.

Within the Free books I have a link back to my Website and also to the Landing Page selling a Product, so even though the books are FREE and everything within the books are FREE there is one of my products in there that pays me, when it pays me I get a ?Name and Email Address?, so it may be a long way around to getting that ?Name and Address? but remember it is Viral and even though I appear not to get anything from giving away these books I really do get sales, and as such ?Names and Address?, which basically, is what counts in the end.

Transformers (Two-Disc Special Edition) [HD DVD]



Transformers (Two-Disc Special Edition) [HD DVD]
"I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew?" deadpans Sam Witwicky, hero and human heart of Michael Bay's rollicking robot-smackdown fest, Transformers. Witwicky (the sweetly nerdy Shia LaBeouf, channeling a young John Cusack) is the perfect counterpoint to the nearly nonstop exhilarating action. The plot is simple: an alien civil war (the Autobots vs. the evil Decepticons) has spilled onto Earth, and young Sam is caught in the fray by his newly purchased souped-up Camaro. Which has a mind--and identity, as a noble-warrior robot named Bumblebee--of its own. The effects, especially the mind-blowing transformations of the robots into their earthly forms and back again, are stellar.

Fans of the earlier film and TV series will be thrilled at this cutting-edge incarnation, but this version should please all fans of high-adrenaline action. Director Bay gleefully salts the movie with homages to pop-culture touchstones like Raiders of the Lost Ark, King Kong, and the early technothriller WarGames. The actors, though clearly all supporting those kickass robots, are uniformly on-target, including the dashing Josh Duhamel as a U.S. Army sergeant fighting an enemy he never anticipated; Jon Voight, as a tough yet sympathetic Secretary of Defense in over his head; and John Turturro, whose special agent manages to be confidently unctuous, even stripped to his undies. But the film belongs to Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and the dastardly Megatron--and the wicked stunts they collide in all over the globe. Long live Transformers! --A.T. Hurley

Customer Review: Awesome Action for All Ages!

First, I should mention that I am a BIG fan of action films. However, I had no interest in seeing this movie when I heard it was in production. How could anything compare to the cartoon I watched as a kid? My fiance asked me to accompany him to the theatre when TRANSFORMERS opened, and I had a BLAST! This film brought back memories of my childhood and with all that's going on in the world right now, it felt good to be a kid again. The special effects are stunning and the sound is spectacular, but this film is special because it has great humor (for older kids and adults), very little foul language, and the best part of all: good triumphs over evil. I highly recommend it. Watch it with your kids and remember your childhood!

Customer Review: Who says only guys love this flick!

Talk about an awesome remake! I grew up on the cartoon, and this movie delivered cars (and trucks) transforming into robots. That being said, the rest of the movie did lack a some emotional connection. But hey, we didn't go to see the love story, we went to see Prime!

Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace



Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace
Having commemorated their tenth anniversary with a year-plus run commencing with In Your Honor (a double album the New York Times called an "unexpected magnum opus"), sold out rock arena shows and a toned down intimate theater trek, and a headlining gig at London's Hyde Park for a crowd of 85,000, the question looms larger than any in the Foo Fighters' career to date: What do they do for an encore?!? The answer comes in the form of "The Pretender," the first single from the band's sixth studio album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, out on Roswell/RCA. Produced by Gil Norton, who last worked with the band on 1997's double-platinum The Colour and The Shape (recently reissued in deluxe 10th anniversary form), Dave Grohl, bassist Nate Mendel, drummer Taylor Hawkins and guitarist Chris Shiflett have crafted a 12-track milestone that showcases and reconciles the band's every strength and sensibility in the most complex and confident Foo Fighters album to date.

Customer Review: Foo Fighters Rock

As per ususal great - I am a long time fan and this met my expectations and beyond - well worth buying.

Customer Review: Ground breaking album!

Having never been much of a FF fan I was skeptical about buying the whole album. I had heard "The Pretender" and "Long Road To Ruin" so with 2 really good songs at least, I took a chance. Now it's my current favorite album and one that I'm positive I'll keep in my collection forever. After listening to it I have went and ordered all of their previous work in an attempt to find out....WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSIN'? Not many bands or musicians release albums like this anymore. Over the years there have been VERY few bands/musicians that you could rely on to deliver great albums over and over. With Foo Fighters history and credibility being a major factor (how many grammy's have they won now?), I'm curious to see what the future holds for these guys. When they release this album's follow up....I WILL PAY ATTENTION!!
