Publishing Ebooks That Sell Themselves

Now that you have wrote, or have had written for you an ebook “so good” that it should sell itself don’t be surprised if it doesn’t! 

I’m not insinuating that you won’t be able to sell your ebook but I am inferring that your work is not done yet.

If you really want to sell your ebook you need to create a page that “sells” it. 

It’s called a sales page and special attention needs to be given to it, to make sure anyone who gets to it, will feel compelled to read it, long enough to find out that your ebook is so great, that they have to buy it.

To make sure you eBooks sales page is compelling you need to start by writing a catchy headline which uses words people who are looking for the solution your ebook solves may be using to show you identify with your customers and their problems and at least hints at a solution. Your head line, like all text on your sales page, should be in an easy to read font and one that displays well in all browsers. 

From your main head line you will want to roll into a sub headline which is an extension of the main headline and serves to build hype enough to grab readers attention and get them exited enough to read the rest of the page and all about all the benefits your ebook will give them.  

Your first few paragraphs should be used to build report with your customer let them know that you understand their problems. Following the introductory paragraphs explain that your ebook is here to solve it. 

Then show them a picture of your ebook. Although eBooks don’t need covers you should still show them a professional looking representation of what your ebook would look like. People almost need the image of a book to help them understand what there “virtually” getting and research shows that better the ebook cover image looks the better sales will do.

After displaying a picture of the book you should offer a button or field in which people can start the process of purchasing if they choose. After the “Buy Now” area of your sales page you will want a list of specific benefits your book will solve, for the “doubting” but still interested group.

Once you have laid out all of the benefits’ of your ebook follow up with a strong call to action. Perhaps a limited time offer or something that shows the potential customer that procrastination leads to regret. Again offer means to start the buying process within site of the words or a picture that represents a guarantee and then expound on the greatness of the guarantee to ease the doubters mind about the safety and security they can feel in making the decision to buy now. 

All of these things should be considered the backbone of your sales page strategy if you truly want to have your ebook sell itself!

Here are a couple of positive affirmations for you:
"I am sailing on the river of wealth."
"I am a magnet for creative ideas."
"All my relationships are loving and harmonious."

Why not enjoy your life?

Enjoy Your Life: Change Your Point of View.


"Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one sees the stars."- Frederick Langbridge, A Cluster of Quiet Thoughts

If you’ve placed second in a writing contest, will you jump for joy and push for better results the next time or will you become discouraged and find an excuse not to participate the next time?

In life, we are constantly presented with choices. You may opt to take a pessimist’s  point of view and live a life filled with self defeat, or you may opt to take the optimist’s outlook and experience a challenging and fulfilling life.

So why nurture an optimist’s point of view?  Why now?

Well, optimism generates positive moods and good morale. Optimism helps lead to academic, athletic, military, occupational and political success.  As well as leading to popularity, optimism encourages good health and may even lead to an extended life span and more freedom from trauma.

The rates of depression and pessimism seem to have reached a significantly high point in our lifetime. It affects middle-aged adults the same way it affects younger people. The mean age of onset has gone from 30 to 15. It is no longer a middle-aged housewife’s disorder but instead is also a disorder acquired by teenagers', middle aged men, and members of the senior population.

Here is a general idea of how optimists tend to behave and some opinions about why optimism increases your overall quality of life.

Optimists expect the best.

The defining characteristic of a pessimist is that they tend to believe that bad events; which will undoubtedly last a long time, and undermine everything they do; repeatedly occur because of some fault in their actions.

The truth is, optimists are confronted with the same hard knocks and obstacles in their lifetimes. What tends to differ is the ways in which the two groups explain their misfortune.  Optimists tend to believe that defeat is just a temporary setback and that its causes are confined to this one case.  While pessimists tend to see each setback as fated to occur and repeatedly occur.

Optimists tend to focus on and plan for the 'problem' at hand. They use 'positive reinterpretation.' In other words, they most likely interpret a negative experience in a way that helps them learn and to grow. Such people are more likely to be unimpeded by tough times.  Optimists perceive these setbacks as challenges to overcome, and try, try again.

Optimists do not often take the opinions that: “things will never get better”,  “if I failed once, I will fail again”, or “if I experience misfortune in one part of my life, then it will undoubtedly apply throughout my entire life”.

The positive outlook of optimists also predicts better reactions to hard times such as: transitions to new environments, sudden tragedies or an unlikely turn of events. If they fall, they will stand up. They see opportunities in their life instead of obstacles.

People respond positively to optimists.

Optimists are proactive and less dependent on others for their own happiness. They tend to find less need to control or manipulate people. They usually draw people in rather than push people away. Their optimistic view of the world can be contagious and influence those they are around.

Optimism seems to be a socially desirable trait in all communities. Those who share optimism are generally accepted, while those who spread gloom, panic and misfortune are perceived less favorably.

In life, it often seems that people determined to create and receive a positive outlook in their life often win more elections; receive nominations for things such as:  most congenial person in their class and are more likely to be sought after for advice.

When the going gets tough, optimists get tougher, or they get going.

Optimists typically maintain higher levels of subjective well-being during times of stress as opposed to pessimists. In contrast, pessimists are likely to react to stressful events by denying that they exist, or by avoiding dealing with the problem(s). Pessimists are more likely to quit giving effort when difficulties present themselves, especially repeatedly.

Optimists tend to persevere. Optimists often display perseverance and patience in large amounts.  Their life processes may involve something as mundane as continually inching their way a step closer to their goal or elusive dream.

Optimists are healthier and tend to have longer life spans.

Medical research has justified that recognizing simple pleasures and maintaining a positive outlook can cause a measurable increase in the body's ability to fight disease.

An optimists is more likely to enjoy good health. They age well and they are often much freer than people who remain tied to the negative vibrations generated by themselves and others.  It seems to me that optimists tend to outlive those strapped down by negativity and a constant pessimistic outlook and approach.  By telling a positive story about their lives, optimists tend to be rewarded with abundance by the universe.

So why not be an optimist today?  Believe and understand that with a positive outlook and demeanor, your quality of life will be much higher.  You will be more likely to enjoy positive, nurturing relationships.  Every day has the chance to present more joy and happiness to your life.

Why not look forward to success in all your endeavors? Why not be resilient? Like everyone else, we are all bound to hit lows at points throughout our lives.  The trick is to not dwell on the bad times or occurrences.  Do not hold on to that negative vibration. Carry yourself out of the mud and improve your chances of getting back on the right track. And why not inspire others to remove their dark-colored glasses and see their life on the bright side?  By helping others to find a more positive outlook on life, you will be in turn rewarded and will receive benevolence and abundance from the universe.

Here are a couple of positive affirmations for you:
"I am attracting emotionally available partners to my loving and giving spirit."
"I feel completely at ease and comfortable with all types of people."
"I am successful in whatever I do."

Product Review: Viral Ad System

So I know I have already posted a little about this system.  But now I am going to post a quick review about it and what I think of it.  If you are looking to begin making money on the internet, or are even an experienced marketer, you need to check this out!

Viral Ad System is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost.  So I decided to put it to the test...
My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel.  It is easy to read and understand.  Joining the site was easy and painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.
The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes.  Inside the site, you create links and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into "Viral Ad System" links.  You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Viral Ad System Ad Generator, which is very easy to use.  You can create as many links and as many ads as you like.  And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference.  Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login.  Very smart!
After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic.  Just use and promote the new Viral Ad System link instead of the original source link you had.  Every time the Viral Ad System link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom.  It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Viral Ad System.  So if anyone clicks the Viral Ad System image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral.  It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.
Now every time the ad window displays (your Viral Ad System links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members' links get clicked.  So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.
And this works virally--meaning as you make referrals into Viral Ad System (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Viral Ad System image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks.  And this works up to 5 levels deep.  So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Viral Ad System also.
I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed.  Viral Ad System even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays.  That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.
There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all--downline emailing.  You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Viral Ad System really shines.  They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to your downline.  But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again.  Now THAT's cool.
Overall, I have to say I am impressed with Viral Ad System.  It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises.  Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.

Quick Note on Binaural Beats

Good afternoon.  I apologize for this weeks' post being a few days behind schedule.  I will remedy that situation next week with a more timely post.  I want to use this weeks post to inform you of a relatively new age technology for self development that is called binaural beats.  Now the science has been around for decades, but within the last ten years there have new and much more significant discoveries in how to utilize the technology for the maximum benefit.  If you want to learn about binaural beats and their history and current uses please feel free to check this site out: http://www.BrainwaveSynchronization.net/binauralbeats.  It is full of great information and explains really as much as you want to know about the technology.  If you would prefer to just sit back and watch a video explanation then feel free to check this page out: http://www.relationshipeq.com/binaural-beats/ .  The page provides a great video that explains in detail about the discovery, process and practice of binaural beats. 
Personally I am very fond of using brain entrainment technology in my quest for personal development and success.  If you were to browse my itunes folder you would see about 33% binaural beats and isochronic tones (the younger brother of binaural beats), 33% success and wealth audio books and files and hypnosis and 33% music.  I will cover some about self hypnosis and some of the resources I know about and use in a later post.
One of my favorite resources and most utilized source of binaural brain entrainment that I use is generated by a company called BrainSync.  You can find BrainSync at http://www.Brainsync.com. Here you will find all of their information and binaural meditation (guided/simple) tracks.  Their main designer/speakers' name is Kelly Howell.  You hear her voice on a large majority of their downloads.  She has a very calm and soothing voice, it really helps put your mind at ease when her voice combines with the brain-wave entrainment.  They have great binaural, and I believe some isochronic downloads.   Another resource I am fond of, is a company called Meditainment.  Find them at http://www.meditainment.com.  They provide more guided meditation tracks and I do not believe they utilize binaural beats.  So if you prefer just the guided meditation approach definitely check their site out! They offer free samples for you to get started.  Well that will wrap up todays posting.  I hope you have some time to check out a few or all of the sites that I have shared with you.  I truly believe they offer great resources for personal growth, success and help offer a more total peace of mind.  Personally, since I began using these resources only three months ago, I have gained a remarkable amount of patience, perserverance and willpower.  I am also much less prone to any anger outbursts or flare ups.  I have gained a remarkable amount of patience.  I am much calmer and more relaxed at all times.  I want to wish you well on your journey of self discovery and improvement!

Here are a couple of personal affirmations that I find helpful:
"Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better."
"My life is a source of wealth and abundance."
"I am grateful for all that I have."

Day 1: First post to the new blog

Good evening everyone. I am going to give this whole blogging craze a go. The blog will be weekly and it will focus on self improvement and various tools and methods that I have tried and/or recommend. I will also highlight new methods that I learn about, and some that sound interesting. I am an avid practicioner of listening to both subliminal messaging and affirmations, as well as both binaural and iso-chronic beats. I will cover a lot of tools involving these and other methods. I will also focus some on career development. As I am currently in the process of going back to school in order to completely turn my career upside down and basically start over; this topic is of great personal interest to me. I have read and am beginning to read many different ebooks on these particular subjects and I will help to point them out for readers and also add a review when I finish reading.  When possible, I will also throw in some new technology, gadgets and information that I find interesting. I hope this gives you some idea and will bring you back to find my second installation next Monday. Have a great week!

Here are a couple of positive affirmations for you:

I am grateful for all that I have.
Wealth is pouring into my life.
I am sure of my ability to do what is necessary to improve my life.
