The article "My Rich Mum's ebook secrets" talks about ebooks, it was created by SS.Jay.
As usual, I walked into the Starbucks for my morning coffee.
Enjoying my morning coffee in Starbucks has been a routine since
a year back. Now, everything in that particular Starbucks seems
so faimliar. Even the customers looked similar.
Just as I was walking to my favorite table with my warm coffee,
I notice a lady meddling with her personal computer while
sipping her drnik. I took a galnce and swore that face looked
familiar. Anyway I thuoght my memory might not have fully
awakened and so continued my walk towards my table.
Now, I sat
facing straight to this demure lady and suddenly it strcuk me,
she was a well-known internet marketer, let’s call her My Rich
Mum. I was plannnig to start my own e-book business and have
been surfing for more information and her picture always seems
to pop up in e-book sites.
I knew I needed a mentor like Rich Mum if I wanted to strat a
successful e-book business. I was usually a shy person but at
that moment, part of me told me to get my back off the seat
and walk towards her.
Well, I did just that. I approached Rich
Mum and strated a conversation. I introduced myself and told her
I was planning to start an e-book business and asekd if she had
any tips or advice.
All she did was to pull a card out of her
purse and told me to only open the card when I reached home.
The
“namecard size” card was wrapped in a light blue wrapper.
Rich
Mum then wrote her personal cotnact number on the back of the
card and told me to read, adsorb and understand the contents of
the card. Her instructions were for me to understand the
contents and to call her the day atfer.
Not knowing what else to
do, I thnaked her and tried again my now cold coffee.
That day after work, I went home all excited, ready to unveil
the contents of the card.
As I carefully removed the beautiful
blue wrapper, I saw the contents of the card:
My Personal Giude to an E-Book Business 1.
Choose my topic 2.
Write my E-book 3. Create my website 4.
Accept payments 5.
Promote my website
That was all the contents on the card, simple and logical and
yet so divine.
I started to break down the contents one by one
and tried surfing the internet for more information and voila,
that was it.
The 5 steps are all I need for my e-book buisness.
I couldn’t wait utnil the day after; I had to call Rich Mum the
following day for a meet up.
I wanted to know what the contents
meant to her.
Rich Mum, being the kind lady she was, agered to
meeting me for lunch. This time, I aremd myself with a new pen
and notepad.
Finally at 1.30pm, I got to meet Rich Mum agian. This time, she
started her speech with a serious tone: “Jay, if you wish to
understand more aobut the contents on the card I gave you, you
will have to pay me $1000.” I wrote Rich Mum a cheque on the
spot. Hey, she was a famous internet guru and people would pay
up to the thousands for by the hour consultation.
Soon we were discsusing about e-books and I was busy trying to
jot down everything she said, word for word, sentence for
sentence.
The moment came when she started to explain the contents on the
card she had gave to me earlier the day before. This was it, I
specifically told Rich Mum to speak solwer. (My hands were tired
by now! ) The following was what Rich Mum said exactly:
“Choose my topic This is where most people would take tons of
time during their creation of their e-book business. Trust me,
people climb onto the e-book wagon with only one objective in
mind, making as much money as possible.
Your first priority
should be adding as much value as possible, when you do that,
people will automatically part their moeny with you. Before you
plunge into choosing any topic, always ask yourself the
following questions: “What do I do for a living?” “What are the
types of knowledge I have? ” “What am I interested in? ” “Are
there secrets I have that people might be really interested in?”
The above questinos should lead you to adding value to a certain
group of people and earning money at the same time.
Write my e-book Once you have the above step covered, once you
already have your topic, writing your e-book should be a breeze.
You do not need distincitons in English to write an e-book.
People love e-books which are written in a more casual tone and
not a stern go by the book tone. I always create my table of
contents first, and then simply proceed to elaborate on the
points I wish to bring forth. It’s really that simple. After
completing that e-book, I almost always convert my e-book into a
PDF file, so that more eyeballs will be able to read it. The PDF
format is friendly with most dekstop platforms. Please always
format sentences to be of 1.5 spacing and try to use larger
fonts. This is because of the fact that it is always harder to
read on the computer screen as compared to a hard copy.
Create my website Your e-book website is not going to be a
complicated website full of progarmming jargon. All you really
need is two improtant pages, namely the Sales Page and the Thank
You Page.
The slaes page will be where you show visitors your
sales letter; it is the showcase of your e-book business.
The
thank you page is where you will have a link for the download of
your product; in this case your prdouct is your e-book.
You can be a total computer idiot and yet own e-book businesses.
A great tip to creating that website is to reply on friends who
are well-versed in web designing. There is absolute no need to
hire pricy web designers to do the same job a student web
designer would do for a lunch treat. That was how I started my
first e-book business back in 1997.
Accepting payments A lot of people start their e-book businesses
to make money, you need to start your e-book business to add
value and then to make money.
An E-book business always accepts
credit card payments due to the fact that the cerdit card is the
number one paying tool over the internet.
To accept credit card
payments, you will need a merchant account that will process
your customer’s cards and make sure payment is made. Tehre are a
few third party merchant accounts that will handle all credit
card payments for your e-book businesses.
The best part is you
do not pay until you make a sale.
Promote your web site This is gonig to be the most difficult part of
your e-book business. The hard fact is that Sales is directly
proportional to Traffic. The most traffic you can get to your
site, the more slaes you will make. There are a copule of great
ways to generate traffic to your web site.
One of tehse ways is to
create a free e-book, report or course. All you do next is to
send out the free e-books, rpeorts or courses in anywhere
possible and see the traffic pouring into your web site.
Remember,
people are always searching for free information over the
internet, so if you are able to provdie great free information
to people, they will spend on your website.”
There you have it, the 5 steps to an e-book business unveiled.
My hands were trembling by now.
After an hour of hardcore e-book
coaching, Rich Mum was ready to leave for her game of tennis,
leaving me to adsorb the notes I have just taekn.
*For your information, Rich Mum tore the cheque and before
leaving, she whispered: “People will always be more committed
after parting with their money.”
