Are you thinking that you need to send some type of ezine or newsletter to your customers and clients, but are afraid that you don’t have the time or the content to publish one on an ongoing basis?

If that’s the case, you may want to consider one of the below alternatives. Read the rest of this entry

Do not underestimate the importance of having a good e-book internet marketing strategy. It will make or break your success in terms of the number of copies your e-book sells, and the revenue and profit you ultimately receive from sales of your e-book.

With that in mind, here are vital components for your e-book internet marketing strategy.

1. Set up a Web Site

The first and most important weapon in your e-book marketing arsenal must be a web site containing a sales page for the e-book. This needs to be a page dedicated to information about your e-book only. It is even better if you set up a dedicated domain name and site for the e-book. For more details visit to www.forum-marketing-videos.com .Now that web hosting packages are available for just a few dollars a month, and you can get a package allowing unlimited sites in one package, I strongly recommend giving your e-book its very own site.

Your sales page should be well-designed and contain plenty of information about your e-book. This information should include features and benefits to the readers, and of course, testimonials from your satisfied customers. And if you expect to have credibility with potential customers, your sales page needs to be free of little errors.

2. Build Your Own Mailing List

If you don’t already have a mailing list and your own newsletter, start one. You may already have heard that, on average, people need to see a marketing message seven times before they will take action and place an order. A newsletter is a great way to keep your message in front of your audience on a regular basis, and at the same time you will be building up their trust in you as they get to know you and the quality of your information.

You might send out a regular newsletter – for example monthly or weekly – or you can set up autoresponder to automatically send messages at specific intervals. An autoresponder can send a given message at a specified number of days after the subscriber signed up to your mailing list.

3. Sell Your E-book Through Clickbank

Why use Clickbank? There are several reasons why I recommend that you consider selling your e-book through Clickbank.

First, Clickbank is a very experienced partner to have when selling an e-book. That’s what they specialize in. There are already 10,000 publishers and authors selling information products using their system. But there is something even more important than the number of publishers. It’s the number of affiliates. Clickbank have an army of 100,000 affiliates ready to ‘jump on your bandwagon’ and start promoting your hot new e-book.

Second, Clickbank has a neat payment processing system. If you use Clickbank you will not need to set up an expensive merchant account with your bank in order to accept credit cards online. Setting up a publisher account with Clickbank costs just $50 or so.

Finally, Clickbank works neatly in conjunction with your own web site and newsletter. You simply add the special links given to you by Clickbank into your newsletter and web site, and whenever anyone clicks through your order link, they will be taken to a professional order form where they can pay using their credit card or PayPal.

Whenever one of Click Bank’s affiliates refers a visitor who goes on to make a purchase, Clickbank automatically tracks which affiliate referred the visitor and pays their commission.

4. Article Marketing

Article marketing involves writing articles and making them available for webmasters and editors to publish. The greatest exposure usually comes from listing the articles at article directories such as EzineArticles and Idea Marketers. This allows anyone to publish the article without any fee to you, the author, provided they include your ‘Author Resource Box’ at the end of the article.

To promote an e-book successfully using article marketing you should write articles on topics closely related your e-book. Your author’s resource box should be a small paragraph or two about you including a direct link to the web page for your e-book.

Besides being a good way to generate traffic, article marketing is a great technique for increasing your brand awareness. As people read your articles at various web sites they will begin to recognize you as an expert in your topic.

5. Pay Per Click Advertising

Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is one of the quickest ways to drive traffic to your e-book’s sales page. It is certainly not the cheapest source of traffic, but it is probably the most effective technique to guarantee a large quantity of traffic, fast.

With Pay Per Click advertising you bid the maximum price that you are willing to pay for each visitor that clicks on your listing and comes through to your site. The more you bid, the more likely your listing will show. Many webmasters obtain traffic for $0.05 to $0.15 per click.

6. Regular Advertising

Regular classified advertising is a form of advertising which is particularly common in newspapers and magazines. Many online ezines and email newsletters offer classified advertising spots. Advertising in these can be one of the best sources of targeted traffic, since you have the ability to select those newsletters with an audience that most closely resembles your own target audience.

If you know the email newsletter or mailing list is a very good match, consider sending a solo mailing. A solo mailing is a special mailing sent to all the subscribers containing only your message promoting your e-book. It will cost more than regular advertising within a newsletter, but you’ll get a much higher response rate. For more information logon to www.outsource-beginners.com .And don’t dismiss offline classified advertising. It is possible to run a classified advertisement in an offline publication such as a newspaper or carefully targeted magazine and get an excellent response of people checking out your e-book.

There you have it. These proven e-book marketing techniques for promoting your e-book. You might not choose to use all seven, but you should be using at least five or six of these. Some of these techniques involve using third-party tools or resources. If you are interested in learning which resources are my favorites, I have some additional details on my web site. If you employ these seven techniques carefully they will make an enormous impact on the sales of your e-book.

I thought I'd mention a few important notes about JV Giveaways since I've been pushing them quite a bit this last week. Be sure you read the post below or HERE so that you can get a full understanding of what's going on. I have been getting some questions regarding when you should get in to the JV Giveaways and when you should upgrade so you can build your opt-in email list extremely quickly and start making money and building your business right upfront.

First of all, these things go on all the time. There is no shortage of opportunity here, but you have to get in EARLY. Go sign up for my newsletter real quick, and I will keep you informed of when they are coming up and getting ready to accept contributors. You can also sign up in that form to the right toward the top of the blog.

Continued under this FREE offer

With regard to when you should join the programs, it's a simple concept. The answer is: "AS EARLY AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE!!" This may seem like a daunting task since it's so hard to know when the new ones are coming out. And once you find out, you've got to MOVE or end up on the back pages. The reason that I suggest that you subscribe to my newsletter (besides being subscribed to my newsletter) is that I am subscribed to JV Giveaway announcement services and blast out the latest to all my readers the minute I find out. I've been able to get the word out before even 5 gifts have been added to some of these. Talk about an early in!! That's how the timing is done. Check below the next resource, and I'll talk about upgrading.

Alright, now to address the question of upgrades. To begin with, many of these JV Giveaways only allow you to upgrade as an OTO when you first sign up, so be sure to at least glance over the OTO they throw at you, as they will throw something at you, whatever it might be. The only way to answer the "when should I upgrade?" question is this. There are three criteria that help you to judge:

1.) How much does it cost, and does it fit into your budget? It usually does fit since these upgrades are generally between $10 and $27. The real question there is if you have a budget at all. If you can afford to, I recommend that you upgrade everywhere you can since it means you can add more gifts, get more exposure, and really impact your ability to gain more subscribers than anyone else- as long as it makes sense, which brings me to

2.) How good is the value? Is it a $27 upgrade with no downsell on an event that only lasts for 5 days? Sounds a bit expensive and unreasonable, but if there are many hundreds of gifts in page after page where you would be completely lost in the pile, even a $47 upgrade might make sense if you can add enough gifts, like 5 or 6. This one's a judgment call. The People's Choice and Only JV giveaways are perfect candidates. Not only do you get to add multiple gifts and OTOs, they run for very long periods of time, and the upgrades are for life. You would be foolish to pass those up. Then there's

3.) How much time is left on the event? If you only have a few days left, of course you should refer to the point above for the decision making process, but generally if you don't think you have enough time to capitalize on the upgrade, don't do it. If the event doesn't start for several weeks, my philosophy is to get in, upgrade, get your gifts ready, promote the pre-lauch to get other JV partners in so it's more attractive to new members (plus when they upgrade, you make money), and then actively help all who need it. This will improve your credibility and your ability to participate in other kinds of JV Partnerships that will be lucrative for you and the other partner involved once you guys have built huge lists from these events.

A major point to realize, though, is that the majority of signup activity within these events is in the first two weeks! If the upgrade is 17 or 27 bucks for a 1, 2, or 3 week event, go ahead and do it! Often, this will completely eliminate any need to promote, and you can just capitalize on your willingness to upgrade, even before you have a list to market to.

Another important point to make here is that the more active you are with all of this, the more likely it is that you will make friends in this part of the industry. Can you imagine running your own even with loads of contributors and members upgrading and buying extras while professionals put it all on for you and other people promote it? Think of the possibilities!

Now go sign up for everything below, get all the free stuff you can hold, upgrade where it makes sense, and watch your list CATAPULT INTO THE STRATOSPHERE!!! This is the easiest and most dramatically high-impact thing you will do for your business. NOW GO!!!
