The troubling thing is, there are maybe a tenfold or even a hundredfold of stories contradictory to theirs. Many have unsuccessfully launched a business enterprise that is internet based but only a handful shall succeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this through luck? That is even more remote. It takes good business sense and a lot of help and team effort. Most importantly, it is the eagerness to succeed and the determination to learn and the willingness to invest in a lot of hard work and some money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Very Basic&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like Neo, traffic is “The One”. Without traffic, all your effort would just go to waste. Every business needs customers, without them you wouldn’t have anyone to sell your products to. In the internet world traffic is the walk in customer. The more traffic you have the more people would be able to sell your products to. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But like any business that’s in every corner building or in the mall, not everyone that goes in will buy, but the greater of number that do come in to browse your merchandise, the greater number of people that will buy your products. It is a simple and known fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, how do you get traffic, traffic large enough that could make a small percentage of eventual buyers enough to make a good profit. Many big companies generate traffic of tens of thousands a day and a measly ten to fifteen percent actually buys, but that small percentage is enough to provide them with good business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of these success stories get their traffic from paying others. Yes that’s right; you have to spend money to make money. Advertising is the key. The more people that knows that your site exists; the more people would of course go to your site, that’s common sense. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While there are many ways that can get you advertising for free, this do not generate the same high volume as those methods that are getting paid. These paid advertisements include advertising schemes by Google and Yahoo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Value of Searches&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The search and will be the easiest and fastest medium in finding what a person needs in the internet. Search engines have been very popular because they provide a vital service to many people. They are free and easy to use. With this popularity, they get many visitors and clicks that they are the most common sites that people go to. It is easy to understand why so many companies would pay to advertise with these search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Search engines provide information to the millions of users that they have each day. They provide links to many sites that a user may be looking for. If your sites link pop up in the high ranks of the search results page, you get a great chance that they will go to your site. While search engine optimization is a cheaper and low cost way to get your site a high rank, paying for advertisements will ensure that you will be on the top ranks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you pay for your advertisements, it is like paying for your traffic. This may sound like not such a good idea, but the payoffs would tell a different story. When you pay for your traffic, you are guaranteed of a consistent traffic flow to your site. You will never go with an empty sales day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paying for your Traffic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually, you will be charged with the number of hits a link gets when your ads is clicked, this is called pay per click. For some search engines, you will be charged with the number of times your ad shows up when a certain keyword or keyword phrase is searched. It is imperative that you have good keyword content in your ad. There are many tools that aid you in using the right keyword for the right moment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the money you spend in paying for your traffic will not be for naught. You will get an impressive boost in traffic which will also result to a great boost in your sales figures. Paying for your traffic would be a really good idea and you will get all the benefits it has to offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If You Want To Learn How To Master PPC And Adwords Then This Guy Is Universally Recognised As The Adwords Daddy - Learn More Here...&lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/AdwordsExpert" rel="http://bit.ly/plugins/iframe?otherUrl=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2FAdwordsExpert"&gt;&lt;b&gt;http://tinyurl.com/AdwordsExpert&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt; - &lt;/b&gt;Enjoy!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2298133740761525910-2271082762992999586?l=straight-off-the-bat.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://straight-off-the-bat.blogspot.com/feeds/2271082762992999586/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://straight-off-the-bat.blogspot.com/2010/01/heres-why-paying-for-your-traffic-is.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2298133740761525910/posts/default/2271082762992999586'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2298133740761525910/posts/default/2271082762992999586'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://straight-off-the-bat.blogspot.com/2010/01/heres-why-paying-for-your-traffic-is.html' title='Here&apos;s Why Paying For Your Traffic Is A Smart Move...'/><author><name>Paul Battrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17410914517982439054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pEgZQBm3tUY/TUgHUS5M_TI/AAAAAAAAACc/B_MPjFJ30L4/s220/03072009548.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298133740761525910.post-9001112795126321644</id><published>2010-01-27T09:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-27T09:03:31.557-08:00</updated><title type='text'>My Pal - The Mystrious Mr X Reveals How He Made $100,000 A MONTH In Only 16 Short Weeks!!</title><content type='html'>Discover How 'Mr X' Built An Online Business Making Over $100,000 A Month (Mostly Profit) In Just 16 Weeks...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the transcript of the first ever public interview 'Mr X' has given.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a very quick background on 'Mr X':&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 1980, he's owned many, many successful businesses, making millions in the process offline and online. Here's just the tip of the iceberg of his background and what 'Mr X' reveals in this interview:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* How he started a web business with almost zero investment and built it up to making over $100,000 a month in consistent sales (mostly profit) in less than four months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* How he acquired the rights to a piece of software which was selling for $29.95 ... and within weeks was very successfully selling it for $495 a copy, making up to $40,000 a week in sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* How he sold many business franchise opportunities for $4,000 a sale from just one single sales letter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* And much more...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;In the following section of the interview 'Mr X' talks about how he acquired the rights to a piece of software selling for $29.95 and very successfully sold it for $495 a copy:&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically I spent some time surfing around on the net.&amp;nbsp; I knew, or had a good idea of the market I wanted to be in - it was poker related.&amp;nbsp; Now every time I opened a newspaper, it was all to do with poker.&amp;nbsp; Every time you turn on the television it's poker this, poker that, celebrity poker, the poker channel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it was a really hot subject - I knew that, I knew a lot of people would be interested in it and I knew that poker is just perfect for the net.&amp;nbsp; The internet could have basically been designed for online poker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I knew that was the product that I wanted to get into, because it was a very hot topic at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just really went online - I keyed in "poker", "poker software" into Google and started looking through the websites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Came across one which I thought looked a very good product, but as far as I was concerned selling it at $29.95 was just so massively under priced.&amp;nbsp; And I knew that because of the popularity of the subject and the way that I intended marketing it, I knew that I could turn it into a much higher perceived value product, and one that would sell and sell easily at just under $500.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got in touch - I sent the guy an email.&amp;nbsp; He very kindly got back to me.&amp;nbsp; I explained to him what I wanted to do.&amp;nbsp; We had a couple of chats on the phone.&amp;nbsp; A few phone calls backwards and forwards and we decided on me taking the product, rewriting the sales copy, re-branding it, repackaging it, putting it out under a different name - that's exactly what we did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Started advertising it in a few select magazines and offline places over here, started putting it on Google AdWords and before we knew where we were ... I'd written some articles about it... we'd done some press releases ... it started getting spidered by the search engines... before we knew where we were, we were number two and three on MSN search and we were getting picked up by all the major search engines and the sales started coming in.&amp;nbsp; It was just as simple as that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;In the following section of the interview Mr X talks through some of the tactics he used to successfully sell the software for $495, making up to $40,000 a week in sales:&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was marketing to a niche.&amp;nbsp; Gamblers - although it's a big niche, it's still basically a niche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that gamblers, are inherently gamblers ... I felt that the product, and obviously what I did proved the fact, that the product was so under-priced before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was just a ridiculous amount - $30 for a program that did what this particular program did was just laughable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the guy that developed it - all fair dues to him he'd made an excellent product there, he'd developed an excellent product, but he didn't really have much of an idea on marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His ideas were keep the price down low and sell high volumes of it.&amp;nbsp; Well, I came along and using the same system that I've used with all my offline businesses,&amp;nbsp; and it's a simple system that I’d put into practice with any online business... I realized that I could sell this at a much higher price and still sell the volume as well, which is exactly what we did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;In the following section of the interview Mr X talks through how he easily put together a business franchise that he very successfully sold for just under $4,000 many, many times over:&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This business - let me explain it... this business,&amp;nbsp; it involved information that was in the public domain and readily available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This information had to be accessed each time a property was bought and sold anywhere in the country.&amp;nbsp; So you can understand that the market for this product was absolutely huge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But because of the nature of the business it had to be logistically operated on a local basis.&amp;nbsp; And this is where the network of franchisees I put together was vitally important to the smooth running of the business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said the information that was needed was readily available, and because it involved working alongside the legal profession the information had to be put together and presented in a very precise and consistent way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the legal forms and the software needed to run the business are included in the business package.&amp;nbsp; This helped simplify the process making it more profitable for the franchisees and by using all the information I supplied them on how to operate their business, earnings in the region of roundabout $3,500 to $4,000 a week were realistically achievable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a very easy business for people to operate.&amp;nbsp; As I said, the business involved information that was in the public domain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of legal firms were committed to ... let's put it this way - as I said every time a property was bought or sold in the country this information had to be presented.&amp;nbsp; Now, that’s been done mainly over dozens of years ... it had been carried out by the legal profession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, it's something that they didn't really want to do.&amp;nbsp; So they were quite happy to hand it over to an independent agent, who they could work with, who could collate all this information and give it to them, so that they could then present it to their customer (the person that they were handling the purchase or the sale of the property for) ... their time was better spent doing other things, they didn't want to send somebody off to get all this information, so that's where my franchisees came into play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They were quite happy, and it was very profitable for them to go off and collect this information.&amp;nbsp; They could do anywhere between four, five, ten of these a day and it wouldn’t take them (because of the software that I supplied them with) more than a few hours to put all this information together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, it was a very profitable business for relatively a small amount of work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;In the following section of the interview Mr X talks through briefly how he marketed the franchise opportunity:&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, I looked at the sort of person that I thought would be operating this business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was quite selective in the publications ... again, I used my system that I use for promoting any offline business that I've built up: I advertise offline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of people seem to look at me as if I've got two heads when I say I advertise offline, but believe me it works extremely well in a lot of cases, and it worked extremely well in this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was selective on where I advertised the business - I advertised it in a few up-market magazines and weekly papers and sent people all the information. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It explained how the system worked, - showed them how the system worked ... just took it from there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a very profitable business for the franchisees, with relatively little work involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;In the following section of the interview Mr X talks through how he built up an internet business making over $100,000 a month in sales (mostly profit) in just a few short months with very little initial investment:&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me explain to you how it came about - I was shown an internet business by a colleague of mine that was making a heck of a lot of money, and I realized that I could do this myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quite cheeky I know - so after some research I took the same business model, made some small adjustments to suit my product, wrote the sales copy, and the rest is history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My business partner and I at the time actually started with two phone lines, two pen and pads on our lap, and that was it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had one tiny second hand computer that we bought from a local computer store.&amp;nbsp; We had no credit card processing - when I look back now, I just can't believe how the business took off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay - timing, it was important because it was around the time of the dot com bubble.&amp;nbsp; Everybody wanted to get online, but the business model I'd really just taken and adapted from somebody else’s business model.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's an old saying isn't there - if it ain’t broke don't fix it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you find a good business model do what I do - look at it, think "yeah, that's working - I can maybe put a little tweak here and there".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not saying outright copy somebody else’s business, but take their model if it's working.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's what I did - I took this business model that I saw was working, and working very well, but I knew by adding a few little tweaks here and there, I could possibly make it work better, and that's exactly what happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the phone started ringing, and again we advertised offline.&amp;nbsp; The phone started ringing Thursday lunchtime - the publication came out on the Thursdays... And it just went absolutely crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We sent people to the website to read the copy that we put up there.&amp;nbsp; We didn't have any way of taking any money - we weren't taking any credit cards at the time, we were just asking people to send us checks, postal orders, cash in registered envelopes ... it just came flooding through the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that was in the October - by February or March time we had a staff of four, and we were turning over $100,000 a month easily, with the majority of that being profit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;In the following section of the interview Mr X talks through what he feels are some of the most important obstacles to overcome when starting and building a successful business, and the types of businesses to avoid (he used to own pubs and does NOT recommend that business):&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think, without sounding too presumptuous, the trouble with a lot of people is that they hold pessimistic views of things.&amp;nbsp; They resign themselves to defeat even before they've begun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They'll look at a business venture, they'll sit down and they'll try to convince themselves why it's not for them or why it won't work.&amp;nbsp; They find it hard to comprehend that others are making absolute fortunes either online or offline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I must have heard every excuse under the sun over the last twenty odd years as to why someone's business isn't working:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If only I was younger"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If only I was older"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If only I had more time"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If only I could be sure of success"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If only I had more luck" - that's a good one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If only I had more money" - that's a really good one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If only I had more confidence"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If only I could just get started" - well go out and do it.&amp;nbsp; Just do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If only I could just get out of debt" - well that follows on - if you get out and start the business, you'll normally find that it will get you out of debt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's just really the majority of people - what they're really saying is "if only everything was handed to me on a silver platter I might have a chance of getting it right"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it's not going to be all handed to you on a silver platter, no matter what anybody says, there is going to be some work involved in running a successful business, it's just varying degrees of work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I try and do is look for businesses that can be very successful and profitable, but take the least amount of running.&amp;nbsp; If something can be done on autopilot, I'll do it on autopilot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because believe me - if there's any publicans listening, they'll understand what I’m talking about - if you want to really work hard, get yourself a pub.&amp;nbsp; And if you really want to work super hard, get yourself a country pub.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of these idyllic country pubs that everybody says, "I would like to retire to".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give it a month and you'll see what work's all about - eighteen hours a day, seven days a week.&amp;nbsp; You don't have to do that with online businesses - if you set that up right, they can be hugely profitable and it's actually obscene really the small amount of time you have to put into a lot of these businesses for the amount of money you can get out of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;In the following section of the interview Mr X talks through the type of coaching programs and work shops he runs:&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes I do operate a coaching program. Louis as you know and I also do run some seminars/workshops several times a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I keep these down to a maximum of thirty because I just don't think it's right that people should, ... it can be quite intimidating for somebody that's maybe not been around online, not been in business a lot, and they don't want to sit there and put their hand up and ask questions in front of a hundred or two hundred other people, so I keep the workshops small.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also run a coaching program as we said, and I'm sure that if people are interested in this I'm sure you'll give them more information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;In the following section of the interview Mr X talks through what people can look forward to when they come to his small-group workshops:&lt;br /&gt;===&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes I am in touch, because of the experience and because I have been around for quite some time (although I do look a lot younger, I know) and I do keep abreast of what's going on, so yes of course apart from my experience, when people come to my workshops they walk away at the end of the day with a lot of my experience, and a lot of other top marketers tips, techniques and they also walk away with ready-made businesses that they can start working on the very next day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They don't have to put the business together - I put it together for them, I show them how to run it, they literally walk out of my workshop in the evening and they can start their business the following day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS...To get the audio of this interview and to find out more about 'Mr X', visit: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.AllportPublishing.com/Mr-X/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PPS...

It's obvious why electronic&lt;br /&gt;self-publishing has become so popular so quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The publishing industry, I hope, does not intend to&lt;br /&gt;forever banish the printed word to the dustbin of&lt;br /&gt;history. Books in print have their own special&lt;br /&gt;qualities and merits, and the world would be&lt;br /&gt;diminished by their disappearance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having said that, let's look at what makes ebooks so&lt;br /&gt;important and so unique. Ebooks have certain abilities&lt;br /&gt;and qualities that other mediums do not possess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, ebooks are fairly easy to produce, and&lt;br /&gt;their production cost is inexpensive. Just think about&lt;br /&gt;it: you don't need a publisher, an agent, a printing&lt;br /&gt;press, offset film, ink, paper, or even a distributor.&lt;br /&gt;You just need a great concept, the ability to write it&lt;br /&gt;or to hire a writer, and the right software.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, ebooks are easily and rapidly&lt;br /&gt;distributed online. They are also easily updated; they&lt;br /&gt;do not require a second print run. All you need is to&lt;br /&gt;go into your original creation and modify the text or&lt;br /&gt;graphics. Because of this flexibility, ebooks can&lt;br /&gt;change and grow as fast as you can type.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ebooks are also immediately obtainable. You don't have&lt;br /&gt;to go to a bookstore or search through endless titles&lt;br /&gt;at an online bookstore. All you have to do is download&lt;br /&gt;it from a website, and presto! It's on your computer,&lt;br /&gt;ready to be read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ebooks are interactive. This is one of the most unique&lt;br /&gt;and specific qualities that ebooks offer. You can add&lt;br /&gt;surveys that need to be filled out, order forms for&lt;br /&gt;customers to purchase your products or goods, sound&lt;br /&gt;and video that draw your reader into the virtual world&lt;br /&gt;of your ebook, even direct links to relevant sites&lt;br /&gt;that will expand your ebook outward. The potential is&lt;br /&gt;virtually limitless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ebooks have a particular kind of permanence that other&lt;br /&gt;mediums do not possess. Television shows and radio&lt;br /&gt;shows air once, and then may rerun a few times. Ebooks&lt;br /&gt;remain on your computer for as long as your choose,&lt;br /&gt;and they can be read and reread whenever you choose&lt;br /&gt;to. They can even be printed out and stored on the&lt;br /&gt;shelves of your traditional home library.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another wonderful quality is that ebooks have no&lt;br /&gt;barriers in terms of publishing. You don't need to go&lt;br /&gt;through the endless process of submitting your&lt;br /&gt;manuscript over and over again, and then once you land&lt;br /&gt;an agent, having the agent submit your manuscript over&lt;br /&gt;and over again. Nor do you have to shell out thousands&lt;br /&gt;of dollars for printing a self-published book. All&lt;br /&gt;ebooks require is a writer and appropriate software.&lt;br /&gt;Figure out your market, write your book, post it on&lt;br /&gt;your website, and with the right business savvy, your&lt;br /&gt;audience will come to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, you have creative control over your ebook.&lt;br /&gt;You don?t have to compromise with an editor or the&lt;br /&gt;publishing trends of the time. You don't have to&lt;br /&gt;haggle with a designer or wait for copyedited galleys&lt;br /&gt;to arrive by snail mail. You are in complete control&lt;br /&gt;of the design and the text.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to Use ebooks for Marketing and Promotion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are innumerable ways to use ebooks to promote&lt;br /&gt;your business and drive quality traffic to your&lt;br /&gt;website. Once posted on your site, you can turn them&lt;br /&gt;into a daily course, which brings your customer back&lt;br /&gt;to read the next chapter. You can use them as a free&lt;br /&gt;gift for making a purchase or for filling out a&lt;br /&gt;survey. Put your ebook on a disc, and you will have an&lt;br /&gt;innovative brochure. Blow your competition away by&lt;br /&gt;inserting the disc into your sales packages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most effective marketing products are those that&lt;br /&gt;are unique. Copyright your ebook, and immediately, you&lt;br /&gt;have a powerful tool that you, and you alone, can&lt;br /&gt;offer to the public. People will have to visit your&lt;br /&gt;site to acquire your ebook, which increases the flow&lt;br /&gt;of quality traffic and the potential of sales and&lt;br /&gt;affiliate contacts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure that you keep your ebook current. Update it&lt;br /&gt;frequently as the market and trends change. Add new&lt;br /&gt;advice and techniques to show your prospects how your&lt;br /&gt;goods or services can enrich their lives. By&lt;br /&gt;constantly keeping abreast of new trends and&lt;br /&gt;techniques, you can continue to see profits from your&lt;br /&gt;ebook for years after your original creation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another phenomenal advantage of ebooks is that you can&lt;br /&gt;test their marketing potential without putting out&lt;br /&gt;hardly any cash at all. You can even produce an ebook&lt;br /&gt;one copy at a time, each time you receive an order,&lt;br /&gt;eliminating the need for storage and inventory. By&lt;br /&gt;this method, you can gauge the saleablity of your&lt;br /&gt;ebook, and make adjustments as necessary until the&lt;br /&gt;orders start pouring in. Ebooks allow you to learn&lt;br /&gt;about your market and customer habits and motivation&lt;br /&gt;over a period of time, without risking your precious&lt;br /&gt;financial resources. They also provide you with an&lt;br /&gt;invaluable way to gather marketing information, which&lt;br /&gt;you can use in many different facets of your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use your ebook to discover what the specific goals and&lt;br /&gt;problems are in your specific industry. Then figure&lt;br /&gt;out how to solve these problems, and publish an ebook&lt;br /&gt;with this invaluable information. This will increase&lt;br /&gt;the value of your business, upgrade your reputation,&lt;br /&gt;and get you known as an expert in your field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can extend the value of single ebook by breaking&lt;br /&gt;the book down into chapters for a serial course, into&lt;br /&gt;special reports available on your website, or into&lt;br /&gt;audio or visual tapes. Ebooks can be broken down into&lt;br /&gt;several different promotional materials by excepting&lt;br /&gt;some of the articles and using them to promote your&lt;br /&gt;product. You can include a catalog in your ebook to&lt;br /&gt;promote all the products or services you sell. You can&lt;br /&gt;include a thank-you note for reading your book and an&lt;br /&gt;invitation to download a trial version of your&lt;br /&gt;product. Or you can include a form for your audience&lt;br /&gt;to contact you for further information or with&lt;br /&gt;questions, thereby building your business&lt;br /&gt;relationships and your mailing list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using ebooks in this manner helps to cut the cost of&lt;br /&gt;individually producing separate promotional materials.&lt;br /&gt;You can use a single ebook to entice new prospects and&lt;br /&gt;to sell new products to your current customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No other medium has this kind of flexibility and&lt;br /&gt;ability for expansion. Think of your ebook like a&lt;br /&gt;spider spinning a beautiful and intricate web. Now go&lt;br /&gt;and create that web, and see how many customers and&lt;br /&gt;prospects you can catch!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2298133740761525910-3554796132046005598?l=straight-off-the-bat.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://straight-off-the-bat.blogspot.com/feeds/3554796132046005598/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://straight-off-the-bat.blogspot.com/2010/01/ebooks-are-promotional-powerhouses.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2298133740761525910/posts/default/3554796132046005598'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2298133740761525910/posts/default/3554796132046005598'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://straight-off-the-bat.blogspot.com/2010/01/ebooks-are-promotional-powerhouses.html' title='Ebooks are Promotional Powerhouses...'/><author><name>Paul Battrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17410914517982439054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pEgZQBm3tUY/TUgHUS5M_TI/AAAAAAAAACc/B_MPjFJ30L4/s220/03072009548.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298133740761525910.post-2999390485664086000</id><published>2010-01-27T08:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-27T08:17:22.025-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Choosing an eBook Compiler...</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;What is an eBook compiler?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You've written and revised your ebook, hired an artist&lt;br /&gt;who has produced outstanding graphics, and now you're&lt;br /&gt;ready to actually put together your ebook. What you&lt;br /&gt;need to make an ebook is software called an ebook&lt;br /&gt;Compiler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many different compilers to chose from, but&lt;br /&gt;first, you need to know exactly what an ebook Compiler&lt;br /&gt;does. Here is the simple explanation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An ebook compiler is a software program that converts&lt;br /&gt;either text pages or HTML text into a single&lt;br /&gt;executable file or an ebook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you or someone you hired has created a file with&lt;br /&gt;graphics in HTML, you will need an HTML ebook&lt;br /&gt;Compiler. This type of compiler requires a working&lt;br /&gt;knowledge of the HTML tag language. You can also use&lt;br /&gt;software to do this for you, such as Microsoft&lt;br /&gt;FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How do you choose an eBook Compiler?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a large number of ebook Compilers available&lt;br /&gt;on the market, all with glowing sales copy and tekkie&lt;br /&gt;language. It can get very confusing and overwhelming&lt;br /&gt;very fast without some simple guidelines to help you&lt;br /&gt;figure out which compiler is right for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choosing an ebook Compiler depends on a number of&lt;br /&gt;factors:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. How did you create your pages? Did you use HTML or&lt;br /&gt;PDF format? There are many more compilers available&lt;br /&gt;for HTML, but you can find some very good compilers&lt;br /&gt;that will covert your PDF files into an ebook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Consider how easy the program is to use and the&lt;br /&gt;thoroughness of the software's instruction manual. It&lt;br /&gt;is absolutely necessary that the compiler you buy have&lt;br /&gt;an instructional manual, documentation, or online&lt;br /&gt;"wizards." If it doesn't, your chances of figuring out&lt;br /&gt;how to correctly use the program are compromised, and&lt;br /&gt;the time required doing so is going to be significant.&lt;br /&gt;Many manufacturers of compilers offer a free trial&lt;br /&gt;version so you can play around with it and see if it&lt;br /&gt;suits your needs. Download the trial version and&lt;br /&gt;ascertain that it actually does what it claims to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Security features. If you plan to sell your ebook,&lt;br /&gt;check out the security features of the compiler&lt;br /&gt;software carefully. Security features should include:&lt;br /&gt;prevention of the reader from modifying text, access&lt;br /&gt;only to the pages you assign or by entering a&lt;br /&gt;password, different ways of generating passwords such&lt;br /&gt;as secure passwords, user-friendly, and open&lt;br /&gt;passwords.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Supported scripting. Find out what scripts the&lt;br /&gt;software supports. Scripting allows you to create&lt;br /&gt;special effects, customize menus, and create and&lt;br /&gt;modify other user interactivity. Choose a compiler&lt;br /&gt;that permits you to include graphics, search windows,&lt;br /&gt;hyperlinks, forms, surveys, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Pricing. This is a factor that is not always easy&lt;br /&gt;to gauge. The highest priced compilers are not&lt;br /&gt;automatically your best choice. Choose your compiler&lt;br /&gt;based on the necessary requirements for your Ebook.&lt;br /&gt;That means you need to know exactly how you plan to&lt;br /&gt;use your Ebook and what functions you require.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's look at some of these factors in more detail.&lt;br /&gt;First of all, make sure you have the correct browser&lt;br /&gt;to run the compiler. The majority of HTML compilers&lt;br /&gt;use Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape. Check out&lt;br /&gt;the version that the compiler supports. Compilers that&lt;br /&gt;require a browser will not run on a computer that does&lt;br /&gt;not have the required browser installed. However,&lt;br /&gt;there are ebook HTML compilers that don't require you&lt;br /&gt;to have any browser installed on your computer. These&lt;br /&gt;compilers run on any Windows system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you choose a compiler that requires a browser,&lt;br /&gt;check to ascertain that the browser is installed&lt;br /&gt;correctly and that it is properly configured to the&lt;br /&gt;specifications of the compiler. Check to see if&lt;br /&gt;certain functions are turned off or on, and make any&lt;br /&gt;adjustments according to the compiler instructions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Security is an essential element of any compiler,&lt;br /&gt;regardless of whether you plan to sell or give away&lt;br /&gt;your ebook. One of the main reasons for using a&lt;br /&gt;compiler is to prevent the reader from modifying the&lt;br /&gt;contents. A secure compiler allows access only to the&lt;br /&gt;pages you want the user to access unless they enter a&lt;br /&gt;correct password.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To find out how secure an ebook HTML compiler is, open&lt;br /&gt;an ebook on it. While it is open, check the temporary&lt;br /&gt;directory of your computer. This can usually be&lt;br /&gt;accessed by typing in C:\Windows\temp. If you see a&lt;br /&gt;bunch of files when your ebook is open or running, it&lt;br /&gt;means that your computer is decompressing the secure&lt;br /&gt;data from your ebook before showing the ebook to the&lt;br /&gt;viewer. This method is not secure! It means that&lt;br /&gt;anyone with the knowledge of how to access these&lt;br /&gt;temporary files can steal the secure data and then&lt;br /&gt;they can fiddle with your ebook to their evil heart's&lt;br /&gt;desire. Remember, one of the main purposes of buying&lt;br /&gt;and using an HTML compiler is to protect your&lt;br /&gt;property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, let's discuss passwords. When trying to choose&lt;br /&gt;an ebook Compiler, check out the type of passwords&lt;br /&gt;that the compiler supports. Almost all compilers offer&lt;br /&gt;some kind of password protection that insures that the&lt;br /&gt;user can only access the contents they have purchased&lt;br /&gt;from you. However, the best compilers offer varied&lt;br /&gt;ways to generate different types of passwords. Choose&lt;br /&gt;a compiler that gives you the options of secure,&lt;br /&gt;user-friendly, and open password generation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another important factor when it comes to passwords is&lt;br /&gt;how the compiler generates them. A compiler that has&lt;br /&gt;internal password protection generation built into the&lt;br /&gt;software is more secure than compilers that link to&lt;br /&gt;live Internet password control systems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find out if the compiler generates passwords online.&lt;br /&gt;If it has this option, it allows you to choose any&lt;br /&gt;payment processing system you want or to do the&lt;br /&gt;payment processing yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, look into the size of ebook the compiler&lt;br /&gt;supports. The best compilers can create ebooks up to 2&lt;br /&gt;GB in size without decompressing the HTML pages or&lt;br /&gt;images to your hard disk. Usually, ebooks that are 2&lt;br /&gt;GB in size can easily support 6 GB of compressed data.&lt;br /&gt;The catch here is that only text files will generally&lt;br /&gt;be compressible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You do not want a compiler that decompresses this&lt;br /&gt;amount of data when the user attempts to open your&lt;br /&gt;ebook. This would mean that anyone who purchases your&lt;br /&gt;ebook will have to wait for all the data to decompress&lt;br /&gt;before they can access your ebook right after&lt;br /&gt;downloading it. So look for compilers that only&lt;br /&gt;decompress temporarily files that are NOT HTML to the&lt;br /&gt;local hardisk. Non-HTML files include Flash, Word, and&lt;br /&gt;Acrobat files. This type of compiler is more secure&lt;br /&gt;and certainly faster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure the compiler you choose is compatible with&lt;br /&gt;your system software. Check out what version of&lt;br /&gt;Windows it requires, and make sure you have that&lt;br /&gt;version before buying your compiler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Support issues are extremely important. Choose a&lt;br /&gt;compiler that includes an installation program. This&lt;br /&gt;program allows your user to choose a number of&lt;br /&gt;different places on their computer to install the&lt;br /&gt;ebook, to place a shortcut on their desktop, and to&lt;br /&gt;add the ebook, if they choose, to the Start Programs&lt;br /&gt;menu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You also want excellent and accessible vendor support.&lt;br /&gt;Make sure you can access quick technical support! At&lt;br /&gt;three o'clock in the morning, this factor will be VERY&lt;br /&gt;important. Also, check to see the terms of free&lt;br /&gt;technical support offered. Unlimited technical support&lt;br /&gt;is obviously the best option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check to see if the company that puts out the compiler&lt;br /&gt;software offers a service level agreement. This&lt;br /&gt;agreement is to assure you of their quality response&lt;br /&gt;to your questions or problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good thing to consider is how long the compiler has&lt;br /&gt;been on the market. Usually, the version number will&lt;br /&gt;give you an idea. The longer the program is on the&lt;br /&gt;market, the higher the version number, the more bugs&lt;br /&gt;have been worked out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When choosing an ebook compiler, do not be swayed by&lt;br /&gt;incredible promises and dazzling sales copy. Do your&lt;br /&gt;homework first, and then consider all the above issues&lt;br /&gt;and factors before choosing an ebook compiler.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2298133740761525910-2999390485664086000?l=straight-off-the-bat.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://straight-off-the-bat.blogspot.com/feeds/2999390485664086000/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://straight-off-the-bat.blogspot.com/2010/01/choosing-ebook-compiler.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2298133740761525910/posts/default/2999390485664086000'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2298133740761525910/posts/default/2999390485664086000'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://straight-off-the-bat.blogspot.com/2010/01/choosing-ebook-compiler.html' title='Choosing an eBook Compiler...'/><author><name>Paul Battrick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17410914517982439054</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pEgZQBm3tUY/TUgHUS5M_TI/AAAAAAAAACc/B_MPjFJ30L4/s220/03072009548.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298133740761525910.post-3205247189219426333</id><published>2010-01-25T06:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-25T06:50:08.307-08:00</updated><title type='text'>5 Top Tips For Website Success</title><content type='html'>You’re website is all set up and looking pretty...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But no one’s been to visit?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That Sucks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, you ask...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"What are the best 5 methods of driving 'hungry' customers to my website without having to pay Google the earth for PPC (pay for click) advertising?” &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I think we can help you out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what I'm going to do is give you the low-down on five  quick and simple things that you can do to generate FREE traffic before the kids are tucked up in bed tonight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each of these will help drive targetted traffic to your website, and we all know what more traffic means...(Er that's more customers Bob)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sound good? Great. Let’s do it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4&gt;5 Top "Must Do's" For Website Success&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#b20839;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/h4&gt; So, Let’s fire off right at the very top – the title of your page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The page title, in case you were unsure, is the wording  that shows in the bar at the top of the window.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like when you visit for say Facebook to log-in, it says Facebook/login, and when you open your webpage it wil say something too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what it says is very important because Google uses that title when  generating search results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You’ll see on this site it says "Blogger: Redbat75's "No B.S" Ways To Make Money &amp;amp; Be Happy", and if anything your title should be even more specific.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What’s vitally important is that the title of the page is  relevant to the content. This is a must.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if with your site this isn't the case...  first thing on your "To Do" list should be to alter the page title to  make it relevant to the contents of your website, ok.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;No.2... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you like pictures?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You probably do. And don’t they make a website  look pretty?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trouble is, if your website is all piccys and clever  logos, Google’s search engine won’t realise there’s  something good there – it works on words you see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, say you had a pet shop website and had to click on a Guinea Pigs’s face to get to the Guinea Pig  page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Google would see is a picture of a Guinea Pig.  As far as they’re concerned it's pointless. And holy moly, you’ve  lost an opportunity to pitch in a keyword (I'll get to  those in a minute).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To deal with this, at the bottom of your site you really should  include some text navigation links.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, look at other good websites...go to the bottom  you’ll see a bundle of plain text links.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only do these help Google to search for the site, these links also give your customers a clear opportunity to  click on something relevant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, whilst you don’t have to give up all your clickable Gunea Pigs, do make sure you have text links at  the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier, I mentioned keywords.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you’re probably already clued in on what they are, but simply, they’re all the words that relate directly to  your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, say you run an online carpet store. Your keywords will be things like living room, rugs, carpets, floor coverings, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should make sure you’ve got dozens of relevant key  words all over your website, on every single page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However!!!
