Writing and Publishing eBooks Made Easy #14 - Your Sales Page and eBook Cover
Sales Page
Okay, now that you can accept credit card payments, it's time to set up your eBook sales page. "Huh? An eBook sales page?" I hear you think...Yes, your eBook sales page is extremely important if you want to make money from your book. Many authors don't always realise that their poor sales page is the main reason why their books DON'T SELL! The power of your sales page will decide if your eBook will be a success... or not.
A good sales page has a catchy headline, and tells the possible eBook buyer about all the benefits that are in it for HIM/HER.
If your sales page can convince your prospects that your book will improve their life, or help them solve a problem, you're already halfway to the sale.
So, always keep in mind that your sales copy will be the MOST IMPORTANT copy you'll ever write! Be sure to give it your best shot!
Use testimonials, talk about the benefits of your book, and offer extra bonus gifts if you can
to get closer to the sale. Provide a free trial section, collect email addresses.
To collect email addresses you will need an email marketing provider and I highly recommend aweberwho offer a 30 day trial with a money back guarantee.
The interface is easy to use, the training is excellent and the service is exceptional. Right, now that you have a profit pulling sales page, telling people how your eBook will improve their quality of life, you can start making those sales.
Skyrocket your eBook sales with a great cover
It's true, people DO judge books by the cover. A well designed cover will make your eBook stand out from the rest, and you will sell more copies. If you plan to sell big... create a stunning cover for your book.
There are on line services that will create a breath-taking eBook cover at a price but you can use graphic artists or local companies you know and of course you can also create your own book covers if you have the graphical talent.
There are also lots of template packages available through the web to do your own.
Why not create a nice logo for your web site at the same time? An attractive logo always catches the eye.
You can create a 3D Header or logo for FREE with the Xara on line logo and 3D header generator.
Create an ad banner for your eBook to promote it on the Web
It's true that ad banners may have become less effective over the years, but a well created banner will still catch attention and deliver a good amount of traffic to your website.
Give Aways
A great way to receive potential buyers to your sales page is to promote your eBook by... giving it away. Now, you probably wonder how you can make money by giving your eBook away?
It's simple. Suppose your eBook has 15 chapters, you might allow the reader to browse chapters 1-4 and password protect the remaining 11 chapters.
To access those chapters, the reader must purchase an unlock key from you before proceeding. Most eBook software programmes offer this function and can be found through a web search.

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
Online Sales and Marketing vs Traditional
- Hi Evan,
I am noticing that many of the posts in the Sales/Marketing section deal with online marketing, SEM and and SEO and Affiliates. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to separate that section into two; 1) Online Sales and Marketing; 2) Traditional Sales and Marketing
Page Rank Changes
- Hi Kevin - there is a lot of speculation as to why so many websites lost Page Rank. A few new sites that I've been following also got Page Rank for the first time.
Every time Google does a Page Rank update there are websites that get caught in the crossfire and have to work to get their rankings back up!
