Books & Blogs – A Happy Marriage

More bloggers are being picked up by book publishers. An article on the Delaware Online news journal called Bloggers use publishers to spread their words mentions several new books out this year that are based on blog entries.

This reinforces our Blog to Book Project launched June 15. We have 30 authors working their way through a self-paced private blog tutorial. Assuming participants follow the program and post daily, they will have enough material to publish an ebook in 90 days. Some will get their book published in either hard or soft cover editions. Others will opt to publish in digital form only.

The Project is open enrollment since you work at your own pace, so come on and join us!  It’s an amazing group of people so far, who’ve chosen to go on this journey. 

If you’re not sure about using a blog to write your book, check out our free Blog to Book 7 Step Mini-course and get a taste of how you can make this system work.

E-Commerce for You & Me…

Even independent professional service providers can and should have shopping carts on their web sites. E-Commerce isn’t just for big retailers. If you’re a professional and provide services to others, you have a wealth of information. Some information can be packaged into articles, white papers, ebooks and telecourses.

Besides giving away your knowledge in the form of ezines & blogs, consider selling informational products. Some people want to sample your knowledge before they will call you to hire you for consulting or coaching.

But, like any big retailer, you must make the buying process easy. Let’s face it, people make snap decisions and vote with their wallets. Are you set up for online sales? It’s easier than you think with today’s software available at prices most independent professionals can afford.

Here is a series of 4 free teleclasses to teach you how to set up a shopping cart for your business, no matter how large or small your products are. Denise Wakeman is teaching the basics of ecommerce. For details, go to www.biztipsblog.com.

"Secrets of Successful Ezines" is a resource you must have in your e-marketing toolbox.  Patsi Krakoff and Elge Premeau have created an incredibly detailed workbook and resource for coaches, and really any solo professional, to use to create and publish an effective ezine.  There are a lot of e-books out there about writing ezines, but this is the most comprehensive I’ve yet to come across in my 8 years marketing on the Internet.  Not only do you get a detailed plan and workbook for creating your ezine, you also get interviews with successful ezine publishers and samples of "the good, the bad, and the terrific" ezines that are being published.  To have this kind of access to successful coaches and samples of their work would cost you hundreds of hours of time to track down.  The value of this information alone is worth far more than the cost of the ebook.
