Writing and Publishing eBooks Made Easy #10 - Selling and Promoting Your eBook
If you really want to sell a lot of eBooks, you need an army of sales people, working for you 24/7. Now, you can hire a staff of salesmen to promote your book but who has the budget to do this? I don't and I'm sure you don't either. However, there is a way to get thousands of other people busting their guts to sell your products... without you spending one single penny on advertising.
Promoting your eBook
Of course you will need to spread the word about your eBook once it is done. After all, that's why you wrote it, right? To get it spread around so you can make money with it. Here are a few ways to do it.
Add a link to your eBook sales page in your email signature.
Propose a joint venture with eZine Publishers in your target market, and ask them if they would like to promote, recommend, or review your eBook, in return for a 50% commission through your affiliate program.
Buy clicks from the pay-per-click search engines, so people will easily find your eBook.
You can advertise your eBook in your own eZine. Buy ad space in eZines that cover your target audience.
Let people personalise a copy of your eBook demo with their own affiliate link, and let them give your eBook away from their own web site, etc.
Use a pop-up window on your web site, and ask your visitors to leave their name and email address in return for a demo copy of your eBook. If they don't buy the first time, you can follow up on them later.
If you don't know how to set up, or use, a pop-up window on your web site to increase your sales, you can check out pop-up technology or web forms at aweber's website.

Need a book recommendation for writing better
- I'm always looking for ways to improve my writing skills, so I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a good copywriting or copyediting book?
I was actually thinking of reading "The Copywriter's Handbook : A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Copy That Sells" by Robert W Bly [u:w3cg00nn]OR[/u:w3cg00nn] "The Copyeditor's Handbook: A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications" by Amy Einsohn. Would anyone know if these books are any good?
Thanks

Re: How do we increase membership here?
- Promoting the heck out of it is really the best way to increase the membership. Evan and his team should be promoting it as much as possible. Us moderators and other members can help too by spreading the word about it anywhere we can.
Re: e-Commerce and e-Payment providers
- When I came back to Japan in 1999 I sometimes used to ask my students if they would buy anything on the Internet and at that time most thought it was too risky. I'd encourage them to try by using well known sites such as Amazon.co.jp and also pointed out that using a credit card on a reputable site was safer than using it at a restaurant.
I can't remember the last time I had that discussion or when the "tipping point" occurred in Japan.
To answer your other question, I use Paypal for several reasons:
1. Brand familiarity
2. Easy to use
3. Free to withdraw 50,000yen+ to my Japanese bank account - a huge benefit (but maybe other systems also offer that...?)
4. Easy to cancel subscriptions
On the down side, their transaction fees are quite costly, they are difficult to contact and when disputes arise you can sometimes lose even when you can prove via your tracking service that the disputed item was "delivered" to the customer's address!
