EBook Writing and Marketing Secrets

“Are You Frustrated With Everything You Need To Know To Make Money Online With Your Ebook?”

My name is Connie Ragen Green, and I teach people just like you how to build an online business and use the technology needed to get started in this fun and lucrative field. I have been making money online since 2006, and now make a comfortable 5 figure monthly income. You will learn how to write an eBook and articles, as well as how to set up your own blog, build webpages, create products and teleseminars and do your own web sales copy, which is copywriting for the internet. Contact me anytime to find out about the courses I teach or to find out more about my mentor program. This advanced program is limited to 40 people (I already have 30) and includes the opportunity to joint venture with me and have me promote your products and services. 

You have asked and I have listened! So many people are frustrated with technology, so I put together a 6 week course on How To Use The Technology Needed To Run An Online Business. This course has already begun, but you can join at any time and have full access to all 7 calls and email access with me.

Next Wednesday’s free teleseminar, on August 27, will be on Making Money With Affiliate Marketing. I will share how I make five figures a month, and steadily growing, promoting a variety of products and services as well as my own. Whether you are new online or have been trying to make money for awhile, you will want to hear what I have to share. I have given a call on the new product creation interface now used by Kick Start Cart.

Most of you know that I write lots of articles. Lots means that I just submitted my 741st article this morning. I write on a variety of topics, but most of my articles are about writing articles and eBooks, because this is what I am passionate about.

In the beginning I only submitted my articles to Ezine Articles. They are the largest directory, and I thought I would get enough exposure by just submitting to them. After a few months I began submitting to some of the other directories, and found them to not be very good in terms of getting my article circulated around the internet. I wrote a post a couple of months ago about article length. Now my articles are longer, about 400 to 450 words, and this is the reason why.

I have just started using the ArticleMarketerFree directory. This is the free version of their paid service. They require a 400 word minimum, and promise wider distrbution of your article than most any other directory. I encourage you to sign up for a free account, and I will let you know exactly what my experience is during this month. If the distribution is as good as they promise, I will most likely join the paid version to build my list more quickly and increase my income from my online business.

This morning I went to the networking meeting held weekly in my city. I like to visit them about every 6 months or so to see what they are doing. It is not a group that would be a good fit for my online business, but I do offer them tips on how to promote their offline businesses. I am always thrilled when one of them has written an article or started a blog, but they are pretty set in their ways so this does not happen very often.

Today I was pleasantly surprised when one of the members got up to speak about her landscape design company. She now understands that not everyone with a backyard is her ideal client. Once she was able to focus on which people she wanted to work with, she was able to let everyone else go.

Think about the eBook you (more…)

One part of my online business involves marketing for three small businesses. I write articles, blog, and send press releases for a handyman, an insurance agent, and a plumbing company. You can do the same thing as you are building your online business.

I began by setting up a blog for the handyman two years ago. I would write about the work he did and include pictures with many of the posts. I always included keywords in the post titles, which included the name of his city and the words handyman, patio cover, kitchen faucet repair, ceiling fans installed, or anything else that we was doing. Within a few months his phone was ringing and he had discontinued all other advertising. I had also started writing one or two articles each month for him, making sure to include these same keywords in the article titles.

By this time the insurance agent had found out what I was doing and asked me to do the same for him. We negotiated a monthly fee and I began writing. The most recent (more…)

Whether you are new to working online or have been making money on the internet for a few years now, you should know that there is a lot of opportunity when it comes to affiliate marketing. When I was just starting out I didn’t want to promote other people’s eBooks and programs. I was very busy writing my own eBook and didn’t want to spend time on anything else. What I finally realized was that I could start making money within weeks by promoting other people’s products and services by becoming an affiliate for them.

First, I signed up for a free account over at Clickbank. Then I began to search for products that I could make money from by writing articles and blog posts. When I figured out how difficult it was to find anything on Clickbank, I signed up for a year over at Clickbank Prosearch. This service makes it simple to search for products using keywords, and then promote them through your affiliate link at Clickbank. I use the two sites simultaneously; ProSearch allows me to find the products and Clickbank sends me a check every two weeks.

The way that I actually promote these products is by (more…)

I started writing articles and learning about article marketing at the beginning of 2007. At first I could not see the benefit of writing and submitting articles on a regular basis, but as my list began to grow and I became better known on the internet, I was finally a believer.

Article writing and marketing will help people find you, increasing your visibility and attracting the right people to your business. When someone has read one of your articles they understand more completely what it is that you can do for them, because you have positioned yourself as an expert in your field. As you continue to submit these articles to the article directories, they will be distributed to sites around the world. Someone who may never have heard of you will now be exposed to your information.

I have now written 725 articles, so my method (more…)

Many people write when they are inspired. They post to their blog irregularly, write an article once in awhile, and continue to talk about their eBook getting finished. If you are serious about your writing, and want to build an online business, you will need to write on a more regular basis.

The best way is to make a schedule for yourself. Write it down so it becomes your goal for the week. Most writers are working from home, so setting a schedule can be a way to manage your time and get your writing finished. You can write two articles a week, and ecide which days you will spend time working on them. You may decide to blog on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and choose a theme for each of these posts, like reviewing a book on one of the posts, and talking about another blogger’s post on one of the other days. By setting this writing schedule in advance, you will accomplish more and become more organized in your business. Your writing will also improve over time, simply because you will be doing more of it.

As far as writing your eBook goes, you may want to register for a course, like the one I teach several times each year. It gives you a group of people to interact with, as well as lessons and deadlines to get your eBook written. You also learn the technology you will need to sell your eBook, such as copywriting and putting up your own web pages. No matter what path you choose, give your writing an opportunity to build a business for you on the internet.

When was the last time you sat down and enjoyed a magazine about a topic you write about? Writing articles to market yourself and your business can create a lead generating system for you for years to come. Once the article has circulated around the internet, people from around the world will be able to find you through the articles you have written in your niche. But how do you keep coming up with fresh new ideas for articles on your topic? I have just one word for you – magazines.

Yes, I look through magazines to come up with many good ideas for what to write about next. You can do this with the magazines you already subscribe to, read them at your local public library, or go online to sites that come from the magazine publishers. One of my favorite sites is at Magazines.com.

Sometimes I get ideas (more…)
