Easy Ways to Ramp Up Your E-Book Sales
Once you've written your E-Book, got your Website up and
integrated your shopping cart, you can sit back and start
waiting for the money to come rolling in, right?
WRONG!These days it's getting harder than ever before to be
able to get people to notice you – and just because
"you build it" doesn't mean they're going to come.
So what's an author to do?
Actually, thanks to all the tools that are available to
you including Web 2.0, marketing your book and ramping
up your sales is not as hard as you might think.
In fact, here are a few ideas to get your juices flowing.
Add them to your sales plan, and use them as a jumping
off place to help you make even more sales.
Create a long-term plan before you write even one word
of your first book. The truth of the matter is that
you're probably never going to get rich from writing
one E-book. So before you start writing your first
book, start thinking about your second book. And the
first product that will tie into your first book. And
the second. And then the third.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Come up with as
many different income streams as you can and plan to
build them into your plan. For example, can you create
a workbook from your E-book? What about recording some
audio files that go into further details or give more
information. What about doing a joint venture with
other experts in your industry?
Sell more books at one time. If your book covers any one
of a number of popular subjects self-help or development,
home improvement, business, religion there are probably
corporations, organizations or niche markets that are
always on the look-out for inexpensive gifts or bonuses
for their employees, clients or associates. Your book
could be just the ticket. Although you might have to go
down in price what do you think sounds better? Selling
one or two books at a time or selling box loads of them?
Once you've built up your credibility as a published
author, it's time to take things to the next level.
Have you ever dreamed of attending seminars or workshops
as a presenter? What about having a speaking career and
being flown all over the world speaking to people in your
niche market? If you don't like traveling or crowds,
consider putting together teleseminars or holding
intimate bootcamps.
Create Joint VenturesThis is the fastest and easiest way to leverage your
expertise and start raking in the cash. Find people
who are in similar but not competing industries as
yours. Explore ways for you to provide value to both
of your customers while you're cross-selling or
upselling.
For example, if you own a restaurant, what about creating
a special Valentine's Day promotion with the local florist.
Offer free drinks or desserts to any of the florist's
customers who bring in a special card (that you've provided
to them) when they come to your restaurant. And your joint
venture partner (the florist) gives you roses or carnations
that can be given out to any women when their companion
gives you the special dessert card.
Real value that makes your customers happy, and builds
loyalty, trust and positions both of you as the
first people your customers think of when they need
flowers or want a romantic restaurant or a place to eat
during a special occasion.
