5 Ways to Compete With Other E-Book Sellers

Thousands of marketers, both newcomers and old hands, are selling eBooks on every subject you can think of and probably several you never thought about before. That's a lot of competition and you might be wondering how to compete successfully with them and make an online income of your own.

Before you can compete with anyone, you need your own product to sell or one you purchased with rights that allow you to sell it. Assuming you have a product, let's take a look at some simple ways to successfully compete with other, more experienced eBook marketers.

One very important way to make your product attractive to the search engines is to carefully select your keywords and construct your eBook title with some of those keywords included. Your use of keywords will determine your ranking with Google's search engines.

Ways to maximize keyword research are well-documented in eBooks and short reports all over the Web. Most of the time it will be called Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and might be presented as some mysterious process, but it is just another mechanical process you need to learn as a serious marketer. Search Google for free keyword tools.

Check out as many sales pages as you can find, particularly those published by gurus in your niche. Those pages are great learning tools for you. Notice the text colors and sizes they use, including where they placed those tidy attention getters. Read the page and be aware of how their text and subheads draw your eye down the page. Notice how they present the benefits of buying their products and not the features.

Successful sales pages are online universities for new marketers. Study and learn.

Another place to find great examples to follow is on eBay. Use the same criteria listed above and discover what is successful for yourself. eBay is where the playing field is leveled for new marketers. You can find useful tips and examples in the resources eBay lists on the site. Just be aware that your product cannot offer digital download, like eBooks. You can, however deliver your digital product on CDs or DVDs.

In fact, another effective competitive process is to make a CD full of useful information and bonuses and offer it for sale at a reasonable premium price. This technique can be used for eCourses, coaching and giveaways. Your market might be very interested in building a library of information with a collection of CDs, instead of purchasing single units and downloading them one at a time. Fulfillment centers will do the grunt work for you, including mailings.

One very successful marketing method is with blogs. They can be free to set up and can be online in a very short time. If you blog about lucrative niches and offer good information, along with a prime bonus for joining your list, you can start making money quickly. If this is an option that attracts you, study blogs in your selected niche and determine a way to "do it" better or to provide information or resources the major blogs in your niche are not providing. You can increase your income with AdSense and offering related affiliate products for sale.

One of the mind sets you have to develop in order to compete with hundreds of other online marketers is a belief in knowing your market inside and out. Your online research of what works and what does not will be invaluable to your marketing plans. There's a whole lot more to becoming a successful Web marketer than just publishing a sales page or putting up a blog.

Online Best Seller EBook - The Dos and Don'ts of Your Online Launch

An online best seller book (eBook) is a bit different from your traditional book, especially when it comes to the actual launching and marketing of your creation. An eBook's success depends heavily on how you present in on the Internet, where it will have to compete with hundreds or even thousands of books talking about the same thing.

When you are ready to launch your eBook make sure to keep these dos and don'ts in mind during the launch to help you make the most out of the process.

Don't launch a book fresh from your desk; have a cooling off period

Many eBook authors who want to become bestselling authors sees his or her finished product differently that the reader may see it, which will end up distorting how good or bad it actually is. If you really want to write a bestseller and not come up with just another eBook, then leave your project totally alone for at least 48 hours. Go through the whole thing when you're looking at it with fresh eyes.

Don't mass-mail on social networking sites; Do find out which networks to use

Facebook, Twitter and MySpace are great places for you to announce the launch of your eBook, but only if you select your targets. Your friends and family may be happy for you, but don't expect them to buy your eBook as readily as people who are actually interested in what you have to write.

Find the groups that are interested in your genre of books, establish yourself in them prior to the launch, and you'll find a much more marketable population to market to.

Of course, this means you have to know who your market is. Don't make the mistake so many authors make by thinking everyone is your market. The more you now about who wants your information and is willing to pay for it the better off you will be.

Beware of the hype from other eBook authors

The fact is, you can make great money from eBooks. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands and sometimes more is possible. However, popular bestselling authors may claim to earn big bucks by selling their e-books, but these authors that have either written a lot of e-books or are just busy spinning their stories for marketing purposes. Balance your budget beforehand, and do not expect too much right off the bat to prevent yourself from getting yourself into money problems.

Don't over or under-price; do your homework and research

Speaking of money, pricing is a particularly significant concern when selling an eBook. Some books go for as low as a dollar, while others can reach up the hundreds of dollars. Such a wide gap between prices requires you to do some research about your target market. Match your eBook with the financial capacities of your potential buyers as well as your level of credibility within your market. Bottom line is you should be able to come up with a fair value for your book. And, always deliver more than what people pay for.

Now's not the time to be shy - go out and tell the world

The golden rule of online marketing is to be loud and proud of your work. Launching an online best seller eBook requires that you convince others to buy your work, and you have got to develop a very proactive attitude to do that.

Be confident of your skills as a writer and an expert. After all, if you don't believe in what you are doing, why should your reader.

Best-Selling Author Asks, WHY Are You Seeking to Publish Your Book?

Seemingly every day writers send me notes asking me how they can go about the business of getting their books published.

Responding to each one, individually, is taking more of my time, and at last I have decided to augment and organize my counsel in a more detailed format. I'm presenting a fraction of this material in this article.

Usually, I can steer writers this way or that, and make at least a small contribution to speeding their trajectory. But of late, I've found myself asking more questions than answering them. And the most stunning and provocative is this one:

"Why are you seeking to publish your book?"

This makes people gasp. To some, it's akin to asking, "Why breathe?" They are so much sold on the desirability or even perceived necessity of becoming published that asking WHY seems absurd.

But I assure you it isn't.

When I was selling advertising for our college newspaper I stopped at a hamburger place that seemed like a McDonald's wannabe. Typical franchise look, with neon and bright fluorescent lighting, it was managed by a gentleman who oversaw all of its operations.

He seemed oddly out of place. I learned that by training he was an attorney. He had practiced criminal law in New York.

I told him that practicing law was one of my dreams, and trial work seemed like a wonderful challenge.

"There's only one downside to practicing criminal law," he said drolly. "It's your clients."

"What's wrong with them?" I asked.

"They're CRIMINALS!" he quipped.

Why, he asked with obvious concern, did I want to become an attorney?

Prestige, power, and the portents of money beckoned. I also wanted to help people, particularly if there were heroics attached.

By the time I could afford to foot the bill for law school, I was already in the thrall of another profession, teaching and training, which I found quite appealing and rewarding. While attending to my consultancy, I graduated from law school, passed the bar exam, and became a licensed attorney, only to find that my WHY was no longer as strong or as relevant as it had been.

Already, I earned attorney-money. I was autonomous as an independent consultant, and as a Ph.D. and professor I had substantial professional prestige. For me, the nuts and bolts of everyday lawyering had become unnecessary.

In essence, wanting to become a lawyer had absolutely nothing to do with LOVE OF THE LAW. It had much to do with pursuing SECONDARY GAINS, some of which I mentioned, above. Plus, there was something of a family tradition that I wanted to channel.

Today, I practice a little, and I screen and refer out certain cases beyond my areas of expertise and interest. But the law isn't my primary career, which hasn't really changed that much for the past few decades.

I hope you can see where I'm going with this.

WHY do you want to publish a book? Is it for the thing, itself, because of the love of writing? Is it to enjoy the process of compiling words in such a copious and organized manner that they appear to have bookishness?

Or is it for financial gain or egoistic satisfactions? Have you just always wanted to write a book? Is there someone you know and admire or are secretly competitive with to whom you want to prove your merit?

You need to answer clearly and honestly because the world doesn't need yet one more unfulfilled author.

YOU have to need it, and need it, deeply, passionately, and unrelentingly, because getting published is not easy.

Or, in the alternative, you need to possess a remarkable detachment from the entire process, somewhat like what we would hear from a Zen monk.

"Gary-san, your book has sold hundreds of thousands of copies and is a big best-seller!"

"And, so?"

"Gary-san, your book has sold a few thousand copies, it is an utter dud, a huge disappointment. It will never earn back the advance the publisher paid you nor will it pay you back for the time and effort you invested!"

"And, so?"

If you can roll with either scenario with utter equanimity, well then, your WHY is either so strong or so irrelevant as to be completely acceptable and workable.
