Internet Marketing For Solopreneurs

Are you thinking about publishing your own ebooks? It is much easier to publish an ebook than to publish a book, so many people choose to use this publishing route.

Here are three things to pay attention to if you want to publish and sell your ebook online:

- Does your target market need your ebook? If you want to sell many copies of your ebook, there has to be a need. Also, your target market has to want and be able to afford your ebook.

Before you go ahead and publish your ebook, you need to evaluate the demand for your materials.

- Build a big list of people in your target market who need your ebook. Many people won’t buy your ebook the first time they hear about it. Therefore, you need a mechanism to continue to reach out to them and sell to them long after they leave your web site.

Make sure that they subscribe to your newsletter, so that you can continue marketing and selling your ebook to them long time after they leave your web site.

- Market, market, market. Did I mention market? In order to get sales, you need to constantly market your ebook.

I will be sharing all of my ebook publishing and marketing tips and secrets during the Make Thousands Of Dollars With E-books Teleseminar Series. You can register for it at http://www.avocadoconsulting.com/rlinks/zebookt

In the winter it looks like soup is everywhere! I have been reading magazine articles on how to cook soup. I keep seeing lots of soup commercials. Many restaurants are offering hearty soups on their winter menus.

While I like soup just fine, it’s not my favorite food. I do like soups in the winter; they do make you feel warmer, but the reason I am not that crazy about soups is because the majority of soups I have had are just blah. They are fine, but nothing special.

But every once in a while I come across very tasty soups, soups whose taste makes them much more memorable. After I eat them, I remember these soups for a while. And if someone I know made that particular soup, you can be sure that I had asked for a recipe.

What if the articles that you write are just like these two types of soups? You do not want your article to be fine but forgettable like the first type of soup. You want it to be like the second type of soup. You want those who have read your article to remember it and to ask for
more of your products and services.

Tomorrow I will be teaching How To Create Article Resource Boxes That Get You More Attention And More Clients Teleseminar. During this teleseminar you will learn how to get more leads and clients from your articles by creating effective and memorable resource boxes. I will also show you examples of Resource Boxes that have brought results.

When I cook, I like to be creative. There are times when I take a recipe and make many modifications to it – use different spices, substitute ingredients, etc. However, I follow one rule in my cooking - when I receive a recipe from a trusted source, I try it exactly the way it is written the first time. I use the exact amounts, as well as the same techniques and methods described in the recipe. If I like the resulting dish, I continue using the same recipe. If I do not like the result, I make changes to the recipe the next time I make the same dish.

A few weeks ago I tried a spinach lasagna recipe from a trusted source. I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfectly – a nice blend of noodles, cheeses and spinach. It was flavorful and there were just the right amounts of sauce and cheeses. Given how much everyone liked it, I am going to make it again and I will not make any changes to the recipe.

I recommend that you use the same approach when you implement a new marketing technique for your business. Get a recipe for applying the technique from a trusted source and try doing exactly what the recipe says the first time you are working with it. As you learn the technique, you will see where you can modify it for yourself for best results.

Can you get more newsletter subscribers by using pay per click search engines?

Pay per click advertising can help you build your list, but it can also help you spend a lot of money fast :)

If you are just starting with a pay per click campaign, here is what I recommend:

- Learn about pay per click advertising and how it works before actually starting to use it. If you are not sure what you are doing, it gets expensive really fast. So learn before you jump in with your money.

- Spend time on finding good keywords that your target customers would use searching for what you have to offer. Good keywords are key to reaching your target market and
getting them on your list.

- Write effective ads. If your ad doesn’t speak to your target customers they will not click on your ad and you will not get them on your list.

- Test! Compare different keywords, different ads and see which ones produce the best results for you.

Also, I would not rely just on pay per click to get subscribers. There are lots of other techniques that do not cost anything to apply, such as article marketing, search engine optimization, blogging and more. I recommend using pay per click as one of your list building techniques, but definitely not as the only one.

I will be discussing how to use pay per click advertising during the Grow Your List Teleseminar Series. There is just one more seat left, so register now at http://www.avocadoconsulting.com/rlinks/znews

In order to build your list you need to:

1) Have a great offer on your web site for new subscribers

2) Drive your target market to your web site in large numbers in order for it to take advantage of your offer and subscribe to your newsletter

You can achieve #1 by promoting your free report all over your web site. I recommend having your free offer front and center on each and every page of your web site.

And to achieve #2 you need to start working on using online marketing techniques to drive targeted traffic to your web site every single day.

There are many different marketing techniques you can use - search engine optimization, article marketing, blogging, networking, etc. The idea is to drive your target market to your web site, so that they can see your free gift offer and subscribe to your newsletter.

It is also a numbers game - the more traffic you can drive to your web site, the more people are going to subscribe to your newsletter.

So you are invited to speak in front of your target market. How do you maximize the results you can get out of this speaking engagement?

You can do that by inviting the people who are attending the presentation to subscribe to your newsletter.

During your presentation, I recommend passing around a sign-up sheet for your newsletter, asking participants for their name/e-mail address and permission to send them your newsletter. To make your offer more valuable, the sign-up sheet should have the information about the gift they will receive when they subscribe to your newsletter.

Don’t have a gift for your new newsletter subscribers? I recommend creating one, as this is one of the best techniques to get more subscribers for your list.

When you get their email addresses, you will be able to keep in touch with them and let them know about your upcoming events, seminars, and products. Doing this is extremely valuable to you as a business owner.

How do you feel when someone unsubscribes from your newsletter? Do you feel a bit upset? Do you want to know why they have unsubscribed?

People unsubscribe for many different reasons. But since they do not want to receive your newsletter, they are not your ideal subscribers/potential clients.

Don’t spend your time thinking about why people unsubscribe. Instead, concentrate on making your newsletter the best it can be for people who are still your subscribers. These are the people who you will be able to share information with and also will be able to turn into clients later on.

There will always be people unsubscribing from your newsletter. This is because not everyone
is your ideal potential customers and not everyone is going to resonate with your message. This is exactly what you want to happen - you want them to self-select, so that you are communicating with the people who really want to hear from you. The more targeted your list is, the better conversion rates you are going to get from it.

There are two things that I recommend to my clients to concentrate on for their newsletters:

#1 is growing their list fast and getting as many subscribers as possible.

#2 is experimenting with their newsletter to find content/format that will benefit both you and your subscribers.

Many professionals have asked me if they should stop publishing a newsletter and just concentrate on publishing a blog.

The answer is no. Your newsletter is the best way for you to reach your potential customers and turn them into customers.

One of the first things that everyone does when they get online each day is check their e-mail. Therefore e-mail is still the best way to reach your target market.

A blog is great to market your business, but use it in addition to your newsletter, not instead of your newsletter. Use your blog to get people on your list AND use your blog to promote your products and services.

But you should still use your newsletter to contact people on a regular basis, build relationships with them and convert them into paying clients.

So, what’s a conversion rate? A conversion rate is a ratio of how many people took an action (in this case subscribed to your newsletter) divided by the total number of your web site visitors.

So if you have 100 web site visitors and one of them subscribed to your newsletter, the conversion for you is 1 in 100 or 1%.

Of course you always want to increase your conversion rate. You would like to get as many of your web site visitors as possible to subscribe to your newsletter. How can you do that?

- Give your web site visitors a compelling enough reason to subscribe. You should offer a free gift, as someone else pointed already, to convince more of your web site visitors to subscribe. Doing this will help you increase your conversion rates.

- Put information about subscription and subscription box on every page of your web site. If you want people visiting your all of your web pages to subscribe to your newsletter, you need to have the information to be very visible on all of your web pages.

So to increase conversion rate I recommend:

- Create a free gift to promote to your potential subscribers.

- Make your subscription information VERY visible on your main page.

- Include your newsletter information on every page on your web site.
