How To Sell More of Your Ebooks Online

Have you written an e-book? An e-book is a digital document that can be sold online in a purely digital form. Thus, unlike with selling a physical product, the fulfillment of an e-book is done completely online. This is great for you, the author, since you can completely automate the order taking and fulfillment processes.

Once you have the fulfillment process automated, the question becomes how to market the e-book online in order to get people to buy it. "How do I effectively market my e-books online?" is one of the most common questions I hear from my clients. Here are five tips that will help you sell more of your e-books and generate more revenue:

- Find a target market to sell the e-book to. Many people think that everyone is their target market, and as a result try to sell their e-book to everyone. They usually end up chasing after potential customers who are not in their target market and are not likely to ever purchase the book. Their e-book sales suffer as a result.

Instead of trying to sell your e-book to everyone, concentrate on a smaller group of people who comprise your target market. These people are much more likely to purchase what you have to offer, and as a result you will get many more sales.

- Create an effective sales letter for your e-book. Since you cannot take a picture of your e-book and post it on your web site (unlike a piece of jewelry, for example), your need to use the sales letter to promote the e-book.

Make sure that your sales letter effectively describes your e-book and focuses on the benefits your clients will get by purchasing your e-book. Highlighting the benefits will keep people reading the sales letter, and it will generate more e-book sales.

- Give your customers just a few options on your web site. Sometimes clients tell me that their sales letters don't sell. When I take a look at the sales letters, they are usually a big mess. Sales letters that do not sell contain too many distractions for the reader: they have links to other web pages and web sites, banners, and text ads for other products.

Make sure that your sales letter provides only a few options to your customers - an option to buy the product and an option to subscribe to your newsletter, and that's it. The fewer options you give to your web site visitors, the more likely they are to buy your product.

- Have a newsletter subscription on your web site. Sometimes people who come to your web site and see your e-book are not ready to purchase the e-book. However, they are ready to subscribe to your newsletter and learn more about you and your products. These people will be ready to buy your e-book eventually, so make sure that you keep in touch with them through your newsletter.

- Use online marketing techniques to promote your e-book further. Use search engine optimization, business blogging, article publishing and other online marketing techniques to promote your web site and e-book. These methods will bring more visitors to your web site, who are craving the information that you share in your e-book.

You can only make money with your e-book if you sell it. Follow the five tips that we discussed to sell more e-book copies and make more money.

Digital Video Essentials: Optimize Your Home Entertainment System (NTSC Component)
Here's the calibration program that will render all other calibration programs obsolete. Digital Video Essentials is the most advanced program for calibrating today's televisions, including high definition, plasma and other state-of-the-art screens and home theater systems.

Customer Review: Useful product

This product is very useful at basic calibration and defining what different components in the tv and menu are for. I would recomment this dvd for anyone that does not want to spend the $300 for professional calibration.

Customer Review: Good Content - Lousy Execution

I have used this disc to calibrate my displays as well as friends and family's displays with fantastic results. You don't know what your missing until you have calibrated the picture on your display. This disc has all of the patterns you will need but it does a poor job of walking you through the process. The disc's menu system is not intuitive at all.

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 Rabbit Corkscrew

The Rabbit Corkscrew
Bid crumbling corks adieu. Award-winning design meets everyday convenience with this fast-as-lightning yet incredibly smooth-pulling corkscrew. Metrokane's Rabbit corkscrew opens any size wine bottle in just three seconds, and then automatically releases the cork. Features a user-friendly ergonomic design. Also includes a foil cutter. Handsomely packaged in a convenient storage case. Ten-year warranty.

Customer Review: How to use the Metrokane Rabbit

From a design standpoint, this is a very good product. But the documentation is pathetic, and was clearly never tested with new / real users. There is no explanation of how it's supposed to work. That understanding is very helpful: with it, you'll never have trouble, and will marvel at the clever design. Let's get started.



Have a bottle of wine handy on which you've already used the supplied (and very good) little foil cutter to remove the foil over the cork.



Take the unit in your hand and look at the movable parts. The overhead lever that swings outward / downward and then is reversed / brought back over the top - moves the spiral corkscrew up and down. To see this, operate the overhead lever with one hand while holding the clamping "side handles" with the other. When you move the overhead handle the corkscrew rotates.



Why is the corkscrew turning? Because it's forced to do that as it goes through a "guide" (the metal collar with gray plastic center). The gray plastic piece has an internal spiral track that forces the corkscrew to rotate as it passes through.



Here's the critical point: as long as the guide mechanism is locked in place and can't move up or down, the guide forces the corkscrew to rotate when going through.



What if this guide were locked in place on the `down-stroke,' but could move vertically on the `up-stroke'? Then the guide would force the corkscrew to rotate on the way down (so the corkscrew would penetrate the cork), but the guide would stay attached to (and _not_ rotate) the corkscrew on the way up - thus pulling the cork.



When the unit is operated correctly this is exactly what happens. But how?



Look more closely: Before using the Rabbit's `side-handles' to hold the wine bottle neck, the guide is locked in place by two protruding spring-loaded latches and can't move vertically. Try it: it won't budge. (You can actually see these small latches projecting over the top of the guide and keeping it from moving - by looking in the area above and to the far rear of the guide, near the smooth rod.)



On the other hand, when the clamping handles are squeezed onto the neck of a bottle, these latches above the guide _retract_, releasing their hold on the guide so it can move upward.



Do this now: Take your bottle of wine and, with the overhead lever rotated to its fully outward / downward position, place the guide directly over the cork and grip the neck of the bottle _firmly_ with the clamping side handles.



Look at the latches described above: they have retracted, and no longer restrain the guide from moving upward. This has no effect during the down-stroke / cork penetration phase, since the guide is already as low as it can go. Because the guide can't move, it forces the corkscrew to rotate when you operate the overhead lever - thus penetrating the cork. Perform this down-stroke.



Now watch what happens when the overhead lever is pulled back to withdraw the cork (while you at the same time continue to grip the bottle neck firmly with the side levers). Because the guide can now move vertically with the corkscrew, it imposes no rotation on the corkscrew. The corkscrew stays inside the cork as the overhead lever is moved outward / downward, and the cork is extracted. Do it. You now have the cork out of the bottle, suspended above the bottle neck, and are still gripping the side handles around the bottle neck.



Release your hold on the side handles and move the Rabbit away from the bottle. The cork is still attached to the corkscrew. Re-grip the side handles with one hand and once again operate the overhead lever, bringing it all the way back to its fully closed position again (as if you were on the original down-stroke into the cork).



As you get to the very end of the stroke, you will feel resistance and will hear a click: the latches have snapped back into place over the top of the guide, locking it in place. The guide is once again `captured' - and cannot move vertically. The cork is still attached to the corkscrew.



Finally, move the overhead lever back yet again to its fully open position (as if pulling the cork from the bottle). This time the latches _don't_ retract (because you're not using the side handles to grip the bottle neck) - so the latches again keep the guide from moving, and this forces the corkscrew to rotate `in reverse' as it passes upward through the guide. The corkscrew backs out of the cork and the cork drops off. It takes all of a few seconds once you get the hang of it.



Understanding the operating principles should help. None of this is well explained (or, indeed, explained at all) in the almost non-existent documentation.

Customer Review: Directrions?

Great packaging and well built. It works fine and as advertised but the directions are less than adaquate. Even a mechanical minded-friend had to fool around with it before he got it to work and could show me. I've always been a dunce at this kind of stuff.

Customer Review: FlipKlip treadmill book holder

I had been looking for something to hold the pages of my book down because the book holder on my treadmill was not deep enough for some of the books I have. This is small and portable and, therefore, convenient to bring when I exercise elsewhere. Being able to read while on the treadmill makes the time go faster. The FlipKlip serves its purpose well.

the product was great and was delivered very quickly. i am very satisfied with my purchase

Customer Review: Works as advertised

I know many people have commented about problems on this product. I had none of the issues many have described.



I use my MacBook Pro ALL day. I haven't seen any heat problems, not edge abrasiveness nor any issues putting it on.



It makes my Mac look pretty cool and its easily distinguished.



I was even able to wipe off all the finger prints on the casing with the palm of my hand. Pretty cool, I'd say.



Just a note, when you put the bottom on, I would recommend putting the rear part of the laptop in first and then the front. There are some hooks that go on easier that way.



Other than that, it's a great product and I'm glad I purchased it.

Customer Review: Scobby Doo fun

This game is fun for my child(age 4) but its not as educational as I would have liked. He played it some but he likes several of the other leapster games better.(cars, dora, letterpillar) The game is ok but if your kids not a big scobby fan I would get several of the other games first.

Customer Review: scooby Doo leapster

This game is too simple in nature. There are three levels which indicate that the addition question just gets slightly harder. There is only one very simple repetative main game, throwing food at the monster with the correct answer and a simple round of eating snacks before the timer runs out. Other Leapster games are more elaborate. The kids are not interested in this one because there isn't much to it. When you buy online it is hard to read the box and deduce the game details. I got it on sale for about half price, at least.

Customer Review: Great guide and is in-depth

If you're like me, then you like Dan Birlew and the BradyGAMES Signature Series guides. These guides are very in-depth and after the Devil May Cry guide got this off to a great start, the Onimusha 2 guide keeps it going. I'll give you tons of reason why this is the best Strategy Guide (in my opinion) then any other Onimusha guide out there.

First of all, like any guide (or hopefully any guide), there is the walkthrough. This walkthrough is very in-depth with ultra detailed maps that pin-point every item! The walkthough is precise and quite possibly one of the most in-depth organized walkthrough from BradyGAMES to date. The author does a great job explaining the strategies, and talks about the better approach for Offensive and defensive battle tatics against bosses.

The game basics section is for me especially. If you don't feel you get enough explanation on attacks etc. from the instruction booklet (like me) then the game basics section does a great job on explaining just how to get critical hits, when is best to attack and when its best to just haul you butt out of there.

There is also a list included for trading items. The only gripe I have with this list (and the guide) is that this trading list isn't in alphabetical order, meaning you'll be reading up and down the list just to find if the item is worth trading to another. But they do explain how to trade and tell you what you'll get too!

The alliances to form are listed in the back of the book in a flowchart. This shows you just what path to take! But it also explains just how you should form alliances as well. They tell you what the benefits are as well.

The secrets and sidequests and telling you how to use each character (combos and everything are explained). The side quest are brillantly outlined and easy to use. They tell you who gets what too. The secrets also explain a lot about the different difficulty levels and the Man in Black mini game.

Lastly, the guide completely covers the Oni mini game with a tear out wall scroll to go along with it. This is a great guide and if you're going to get Onimusha 2 then you should definitely get this book!

On the Positive side:
+Great Maps!
+Great Strategies!
+Crystal Clear screens with helpful captions
+Hey! Its Signature series
+Tricks of Trade revealed
+Side Quests explained
+Both mini-games explained
+Game Basics actually help you learn the game better then the manual.
+Interview with Keiji Inafune!

But on the downside
-The trading items list is out of order
-Some boss strategies are a little too focused on defense

Customer Review: Love it!

Have had my Reader for about 3 months now and I really am happy with it. I have a friend who managed to get her hands on a Kindle so was able to compare the items. My Reader has a much "cleaner" design. No, you can't type on it but I wouldn't use that feature much anyway.



I DO have a problem with the Sony eBook store. I certainly hope they make it more reliable and user friendly - soon! But since these reviews are about the Reader I can truly say I am very happy with it. We travel a good deal and I don't have to decide which book I want to take along - I can "pack" lots! :D

Customer Review: Does not work with Apple Computers even if running Parallells

I had the earlier eReader 500, and it worked fine with my 2007 iMac I liked it so much I wanted to upgrade and give my old one to my daughter. Dealing with Sony was a nightmare. I was routed to a dozen foreign countries, and spent hours and HOURS with customer service, and their managers. NO RESOLVE< and nobody was able to tell me until I returned it that it won't work with my computer. After being promised free return shipping (I was to receive an email with instruction...it never came), I paid to return it to Sony. The product was fine, but I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER SONY PRODUCT.
