Book Title Secrets To Selling More Books
Your struggling to sell just a few copies of your book, ebook,
report or other information-based product each month?
Are you stumped by the lack of response you are getting?
You are positive people want your information, yet no matter
how hard you try, you can't seem to tap into the flood of
demand with your infoproduct.
Happily, there is one simple, quick change you can make to
your product that can make a massive difference to your
results -- improve your book title.
Your book title is often the ONLY advertisement that stands
between your bank account and your prospects wallet.
Why is that?
Your book title finds it's way to directories, onto bookshelves
(in the case of a printed book), website titles, website links,
email and forum signatures, business cards, topics of seminars,
press releases, joint venture partner proposals and campaigns,
interviews, and much, much more....
Here are 3 highly successful techniques for turning your mediocre
book titles into sizzling, red-hot, money-making titles...
Book Title Writing SECRET #1: Grab Their Attention
It often happens that book writers have great content, even great
sales letters and press releases, but their title is a dismal, limp
descriptive bore.
This is not the place to "save your best" marketing for the
press release.
You want your book title to reach out and grab the browser's
attention instantly by being personal, controversial and knowing
exactly what is "front-of-mind" for your market.
Use strong words, action words, and controversy (within reason)
to capture your prospect's attention.
Book Title Writing SECRET #2: Tap Into Their Interest
Apart from what you may think, you will not create interest in
your readers, what you can do is anticipate and tap into interests
that already exist in the mind's of your readers.
How do you do this?
Simple, by identifying what that interest is and clearly
communicating this in your title.
For example, you've selected dieting as your subject area - and
you discover that what your market is REALLY interested in right
now is diets that are not dangerous to your health.
Your title could be something like:
WARNING: What You Don't Know About Low-Carb Diets That May Hurt You.
It's a matter of knowing what the REAL concerns are in your
market.
Book Title Writing SECRET #3: Create Anticipation
Your book title must turn casual interest into enough curiosity
that they will take a next step - read your sales letter, lookup
your book, open the cover, purchase your book, etc...
Once you have grabbed their attention, tapped into their interest,
the final step is to convince them that YOU, the author, offers
a believable, unique and better fulfillment of their desire than
others do.
You can create curiosity by:
- giving your approach it's own "technology" name
- listing the number of steps or formula stages
- promising results
-
Book Title Writing SECRET #4: Overcoming Objections
Finally, there is one final step that can really make your book
title effective - that's to eliminate the biggest objection your
prospects will have to not buy your product.
For example, in Steve Manning's book "How You Can Write Your Book
On Anything in 14 Days Or Less...Guaranteed!" (see
http://www.infoproductcreator.com/part/14days ) Steve overcomes
the number one objection in the mind's of aspiring writers with
the words "About Anything").
Why?
Most writers are not confident about their ability to write about
a given topic - promising them an approach that will work no matter
what the subject matter, overcomes the biggest buying obstacle right
in the title.
With these tips, turn your work into it's own marketing machine by
Attacking your market with your book title. Watch your sales soar,
your credibility increase and best of all, watch your bank account
grow.

Customer Review: Works well for my Mac!
My main concern was this was going to be a PC centric bag with no thought for the Mac. Well, it fits my Macbook Pro just perfectly and safely. I can store all the extras in the outside pocket and have plenty of room for incidentals, as well as have the other side for paperwork I don't want to be turned into premature recyclable pulp.

I've had it for a while now and it's been working out just fine.
Customer Review: great case
I received the notebook case in just a few days from my order and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the case. The service was excellent and I would by from this vendor again.

One Chance
One Chance
Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts has spent most of his life feeling 'insignificant'. Bullied at school for being 'different', he realized growing up that he had one true friend and that was his voice. Singing was his escape. He was able to lose himself in his own little world - the vicious words of his tormentors replaced by hauntingly beautiful lyrics and melodies that lifted his heart and spirit. It was a love, a passion, a lifeline that would follow Paul into adulthood and help him through many more periods of adversity.
Though it's fair to say that when Paul strolled awkwardly - almost apologetically - onto the Cardiff stage for his first Britain's Got Talent audition a week before that final, in his now infamous £35 Tesco suit, and announced to Simon and fellow judges Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan that he was going to sing opera, they never thought for one minute they were looking at their winner. Until he opened his mouth and started to sing.
Paul Potts Photos

Customer Review: last chance-the best chance
whatever stressed you out, listening to "last Chance" melts it all away, what a voice, wow...
Customer Review: Paul Potts is beyond a winner
The musical beauty of this CD by Paul Potts will send positive chills down your spine and out through your limbs. His voice is magnetic and moves the soul no matter what language he is singing. A must have for your tenor music collection and a moving story of success behind the music. He is the new "Pavarotti" with even more sentiment in his presentation.
Cranium Hullabaloo
Cranium Hullabaloo
This game is sort of like Twister meets Simon Says. Lay the Hullabaloo pads around on the floor about two 'kid's feet' away from each other. The pads are different shapes and colors and have pictures and words on them. Turn on the game console and the cheerful music begins, a happy voice welcomes you to the game and then gives the simple directions you'll need to play. "Jump on a square shape," "Slide over to a red shape," "Hop to a shape with an animal on it" and so on. Then it might tell you to freeze, or to put a body part on one pad, and then a different body part on another. Then, it'll tell you that if you are on a particular pad at the end of that round, you are the winner. We found it to be fun, and easy to understand--though we did wonder how long it might hold a child's interest. --Megan Sullivan
Customer Review: kids LOVE this
This is one of those toys that gets the kids up an moving. Fun music, fun 'rewards' = "do a silly dance". they LOVE it. I am always looking for ways to 'reach' my boy who has autism. This just helps initiate play.
Customer Review: Children probably need to be at least five years old
I was so excited to get this toy after reading all of the awards that it had won. We have a 4, soon to be 5, little girl and a just turned 2 girl as well. I thought that at least the 4 year old could really enjoy it with her sister just "acting" like she was playing along. These girls are both very bright, but I believe that it will take another 6 months for them to be able to really play this together. I may have to sit down with them and just reveiw all of the different shapes and colors and drawings that are on the pads that the game is centered around. I had their Dad sit down with them because I was busy cooking breakfast......I think that someone with a little more patience has to be prepared to sit down with the young ones and maybe review the items with them.......other than that, I can't wait until I get the chance to do it with them.....it seems like a lot of fun for them and my kind of toy....educational.
Webkinz: Beagle
Webkinz: Beagle
Discover a virtual world with Webkinz pets. Webkinz animals come with a special Internet code so your child can interact with it online. The code lets you enter Webkinz World and bring your pet to life. Pet owners can name it, make it a home and even play games. Beagle measures 10". Not recommended for children under 3.

Customer Review: There's nothing like watching a 7-year old with a Webkinz
I recently got to spend some time with my 7-year old niece and watched her "wax lyrical" about how much she loves her Webkinz (she has three of them!). She took me over to the computer and showed me how the computer part works with the beagle Webkinz she named "Sam". I watched her zip around the computer playing all sorts of games to "make money" to pay for the food, clothes, and treats for her "pet".
The game teaches kids some of the responsibilities of having a pet (like making sure they get fed, taking them for a walk, spending time playing with them, etc.) while teaching computer skills at the same time. The carnival-like environment where they play games to make money for their pet is fun and provides enough variety to keep them coming back day after day.
I'd highly recommend Webkinz for any child who loves toy animals and wants to gain further experience on the computer.
Customer Review: Webkinz Beagle
I bought this for my daughter when I couldn't find one around our home town. So, I ordered it thru the internet and Amazon. It was one of her favourite gifts! Not only can she cuddle with him, but she goes on the Webkinz website and creates a room for her virtual pet, and plays educational games that will build up W-$ for her to buy things for her pet!! She really enjoys playing on the website and she sleeps with the beagle every night! I even went and bought a chocolate lab webkinz for my son who is 3. He and his sister have a good time playing on the website and carrying their pets wherever they go!
The Land Before Time
The Land Before Time
This 1988 animated feature from Don Bluth (An American Tail) focuses on an orphaned young dinosaur, Littlefoot, who has to make his way to the paradise of the Great Valley in order to survive a plague. Along the way, he meets up with some other dinos from different species, and they all bond and travel together. On the way, they have plenty of adventures. Even with elements of suspense, this is a pretty relaxed movie that isn't in a particular hurry to roll out its story. Kids will like the originality of the concept, and the themes of friendship and cooperation are well woven into the fabric of the entertainment, plus the music is great. Bluth's artwork looks good, though--as always--he never seems to quite catch up with the quality of the Disney machine. --Tom Keogh
Customer Review: The Land Before All The Sequels
This is one of the better films made for kids. I watched it a ton when I was younger, and can now admit that I was positively terrified of Sharptooth.
Unfortunately, they couldn't stop making sequels. Now, our prehistoric heroes have been reduced to a bunch of computer generated dinos, prancing around singing annoyingly about diversity.
See the original. It's much better.
Customer Review: Pleasantly Surprised
My wife and I recently purchased this movie for my four-year old son and I have to admit I was very surprised at the quality of the movie from a productiona and storytelling standpoint.
I was very sceptical at first. I have never cared for Don Bluth's style (I thought he was generally too dark for a children's animator), although I never considered him lacking talent. I just figured I was in for another cheap kid's movie with nothing to find of interest to an adult and (hopefully) nothing very offensive.
Well, I was first struck by the brilliant orchestral score. I consider myself a mild aficionado of classical music and I will tell you, my firends, the score in this film is both musically complex and emotionally affecting. Listen closely neat the movie's opening, as Littlefoot pops out of his egg. The music's tenderness and joy is wonderful!
Next, having viewed the movie all the way through, I was really shocked to realize the thing was utterly devoid of ANY social or environmental message, the kind of drool-inducing pap they shove down kids' throats at every turn nowadays (anyone seen "Ferngully"?). Of course, one could make the case the movie comments about prejudice, but it also extolls virtues like perservereance, conviction and teamwork! It's just a great story, simply told, about dinosaurs! And what kid doesn't like dinosaurs?
And for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, don't worry about violence or any adult themes (like death). The adult themes are all handled with grace and tact, in the absolute best taste. And the violence is bloodless and done in a way that is exciting, but not scary. I'd recommend to any parents to get a good, well-illustrated book on dinosaurs before showing this movie to their kids - if they like the movie, you will have a great opportunity to spark their imaginations and share some great educational moments with them afterwards. My son and I went through a HUGE encyclopedia of dinosaurs after this movie and we had a great time!
Anyway, I can't speak for any of the sequels, but the original Land Before Time is a great family movie.

Are you stumped by the lack of response you are getting?
You are positive people want your information, yet no matter

Happily, there is one simple, quick change you can make to

Why is that?
Your book title finds it's way to directories, onto bookshelves
(in the case of a printed book), website titles, website links,
email and forum signatures, business cards, topics of seminars,
press releases, joint venture partner proposals and campaigns,

Here are 3 highly successful techniques for turning your mediocre
book titles into sizzling, red-hot, money-making titles...
Book Title Writing SECRET #1: Grab Their Attention
It often happens that book writers have great content, even great
sales letters and press releases, but their title is a dismal, limp
descriptive bore.
This is not the place to "save your best" marketing for the
press release.
You want your book title to reach out and grab the browser's
attention instantly by being personal, controversial and knowing
exactly what is "front-of-mind" for your market.
Use strong words, action words, and controversy (within reason)
to capture your prospect's attention.
Book Title Writing SECRET #2: Tap Into Their Interest
Apart from what you may think, you will not create interest in
your readers, what you can do is anticipate and tap into interests
that already exist in the mind's of your readers.
How do you do this?
Simple, by identifying what that interest is and clearly
communicating this in your title.
For example, you've selected dieting as your subject area - and
you discover that what your market is REALLY interested in right
now is diets that are not dangerous to your health.
Your title could be something like:
WARNING: What You Don't Know About Low-Carb Diets That May Hurt You.
It's a matter of knowing what the REAL concerns are in your
market.

a believable, unique and better fulfillment of their desire than
others do.
You can create curiosity by:
- giving your approach it's own "technology" name
- listing the number of steps or formula stages
- promising results

Book Title Writing SECRET #4: Overcoming Objections
Finally, there is one final step that can really make your book

in the title.

If you are an advanced high school student, an undergraduate or a member of the general public learning Spanish, the American Heritage Spanish Dictionary is at the top of my list of recommendations for you. (If you are getting into literature or professional areas that exceed the limits of this dictionary, you need to look at the unabridged editions of Oxford, Collins, Simon & Schuster's, possibly Larousse, and the major monolingual Spanish dictionaries.)
Customer Review: Great dictionary!
For an intermediate user of Spanish like me, this dictionary has anything I need, and more. It provides accurate definitions, explains the context, is easy to search, not too bulky, and durable (hardcover).
One Chance
One Chance
Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts has spent most of his life feeling 'insignificant'. Bullied at school for being 'different', he realized growing up that he had one true friend and that was his voice. Singing was his escape. He was able to lose himself in his own little world - the vicious words of his tormentors replaced by hauntingly beautiful lyrics and melodies that lifted his heart and spirit. It was a love, a passion, a lifeline that would follow Paul into adulthood and help him through many more periods of adversity.
Though it's fair to say that when Paul strolled awkwardly - almost apologetically - onto the Cardiff stage for his first Britain's Got Talent audition a week before that final, in his now infamous £35 Tesco suit, and announced to Simon and fellow judges Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan that he was going to sing opera, they never thought for one minute they were looking at their winner. Until he opened his mouth and started to sing.

Customer Review: last chance-the best chance
whatever stressed you out, listening to "last Chance" melts it all away, what a voice, wow...
Customer Review: Paul Potts is beyond a winner
The musical beauty of this CD by Paul Potts will send positive chills down your spine and out through your limbs. His voice is magnetic and moves the soul no matter what language he is singing. A must have for your tenor music collection and a moving story of success behind the music. He is the new "Pavarotti" with even more sentiment in his presentation.
Cranium Hullabaloo
Cranium Hullabaloo
This game is sort of like Twister meets Simon Says. Lay the Hullabaloo pads around on the floor about two 'kid's feet' away from each other. The pads are different shapes and colors and have pictures and words on them. Turn on the game console and the cheerful music begins, a happy voice welcomes you to the game and then gives the simple directions you'll need to play. "Jump on a square shape," "Slide over to a red shape," "Hop to a shape with an animal on it" and so on. Then it might tell you to freeze, or to put a body part on one pad, and then a different body part on another. Then, it'll tell you that if you are on a particular pad at the end of that round, you are the winner. We found it to be fun, and easy to understand--though we did wonder how long it might hold a child's interest. --Megan Sullivan
Customer Review: kids LOVE this
This is one of those toys that gets the kids up an moving. Fun music, fun 'rewards' = "do a silly dance". they LOVE it. I am always looking for ways to 'reach' my boy who has autism. This just helps initiate play.
Customer Review: Children probably need to be at least five years old
I was so excited to get this toy after reading all of the awards that it had won. We have a 4, soon to be 5, little girl and a just turned 2 girl as well. I thought that at least the 4 year old could really enjoy it with her sister just "acting" like she was playing along. These girls are both very bright, but I believe that it will take another 6 months for them to be able to really play this together. I may have to sit down with them and just reveiw all of the different shapes and colors and drawings that are on the pads that the game is centered around. I had their Dad sit down with them because I was busy cooking breakfast......I think that someone with a little more patience has to be prepared to sit down with the young ones and maybe review the items with them.......other than that, I can't wait until I get the chance to do it with them.....it seems like a lot of fun for them and my kind of toy....educational.

Customer Review: There's nothing like watching a 7-year old with a Webkinz
I recently got to spend some time with my 7-year old niece and watched her "wax lyrical" about how much she loves her Webkinz (she has three of them!). She took me over to the computer and showed me how the computer part works with the beagle Webkinz she named "Sam". I watched her zip around the computer playing all sorts of games to "make money" to pay for the food, clothes, and treats for her "pet".
The game teaches kids some of the responsibilities of having a pet (like making sure they get fed, taking them for a walk, spending time playing with them, etc.) while teaching computer skills at the same time. The carnival-like environment where they play games to make money for their pet is fun and provides enough variety to keep them coming back day after day.
I'd highly recommend Webkinz for any child who loves toy animals and wants to gain further experience on the computer.
Customer Review: Webkinz Beagle
I bought this for my daughter when I couldn't find one around our home town. So, I ordered it thru the internet and Amazon. It was one of her favourite gifts! Not only can she cuddle with him, but she goes on the Webkinz website and creates a room for her virtual pet, and plays educational games that will build up W-$ for her to buy things for her pet!! She really enjoys playing on the website and she sleeps with the beagle every night! I even went and bought a chocolate lab webkinz for my son who is 3. He and his sister have a good time playing on the website and carrying their pets wherever they go!
The Land Before Time
The Land Before Time
This 1988 animated feature from Don Bluth (An American Tail) focuses on an orphaned young dinosaur, Littlefoot, who has to make his way to the paradise of the Great Valley in order to survive a plague. Along the way, he meets up with some other dinos from different species, and they all bond and travel together. On the way, they have plenty of adventures. Even with elements of suspense, this is a pretty relaxed movie that isn't in a particular hurry to roll out its story. Kids will like the originality of the concept, and the themes of friendship and cooperation are well woven into the fabric of the entertainment, plus the music is great. Bluth's artwork looks good, though--as always--he never seems to quite catch up with the quality of the Disney machine. --Tom Keogh
Customer Review: The Land Before All The Sequels
This is one of the better films made for kids. I watched it a ton when I was younger, and can now admit that I was positively terrified of Sharptooth.
Unfortunately, they couldn't stop making sequels. Now, our prehistoric heroes have been reduced to a bunch of computer generated dinos, prancing around singing annoyingly about diversity.
See the original. It's much better.
Customer Review: Pleasantly Surprised
My wife and I recently purchased this movie for my four-year old son and I have to admit I was very surprised at the quality of the movie from a productiona and storytelling standpoint.
I was very sceptical at first. I have never cared for Don Bluth's style (I thought he was generally too dark for a children's animator), although I never considered him lacking talent. I just figured I was in for another cheap kid's movie with nothing to find of interest to an adult and (hopefully) nothing very offensive.
Well, I was first struck by the brilliant orchestral score. I consider myself a mild aficionado of classical music and I will tell you, my firends, the score in this film is both musically complex and emotionally affecting. Listen closely neat the movie's opening, as Littlefoot pops out of his egg. The music's tenderness and joy is wonderful!
Next, having viewed the movie all the way through, I was really shocked to realize the thing was utterly devoid of ANY social or environmental message, the kind of drool-inducing pap they shove down kids' throats at every turn nowadays (anyone seen "Ferngully"?). Of course, one could make the case the movie comments about prejudice, but it also extolls virtues like perservereance, conviction and teamwork! It's just a great story, simply told, about dinosaurs! And what kid doesn't like dinosaurs?
And for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, don't worry about violence or any adult themes (like death). The adult themes are all handled with grace and tact, in the absolute best taste. And the violence is bloodless and done in a way that is exciting, but not scary. I'd recommend to any parents to get a good, well-illustrated book on dinosaurs before showing this movie to their kids - if they like the movie, you will have a great opportunity to spark their imaginations and share some great educational moments with them afterwards. My son and I went through a HUGE encyclopedia of dinosaurs after this movie and we had a great time!
Anyway, I can't speak for any of the sequels, but the original Land Before Time is a great family movie.
