This is the second part of my recent article titled “How to launch an ebook“. As I’ve mentioned, this month I intend to launch my first book “How to make money online” for newbie people.

Before the book hits the site, I reccomend  to join to my newsletter on the left sidebar, because I’ve still not decided the pre launch date, so I can send you a free copy directly on your email box.

The following techniques are ways that you can use to promote your free book:

1. First and foremost create your own wbsite - There are a lot of choice between free website providers where you can register and start your free website. The best thing is that many of them offers templates and page builders to help you to create the best website for your book. It really quickly and easy to promoting your book with this service.

Note: Be careful some of free providers penalize spammers by discontinue your service.

2. Share your book on website - There are a lot of website that allows to add your book. These sites give you all necessary to add the title of your book, a brief description. Some of them allows to rate the ebook or leave comment.

3. Request book reviews. The Web is full of book review bloggers, that want to provide your book attention it deserves. Before to send out the queries, you need to evaluate your introductory email, or your response rate can be low. Here, some brief advices:

• Take a few moments to have some basic information about your reviewer’s website and check if he make book reviews about your subject.
• When you send a query, tell  your reviewer that you’ve been reading their material, also a little praise can go be accepted.

4. Build a newsletter - Is the better way to reach thousand of people at once. The most important thing is to know how to write an email newsletter. First and foremost, define your goal for the Newsletter, in this case getting most downloaded book as possible, as make sure to provide value to visitors in some way. For example by writing what they will learn with the book.

5. Set up a signature line - Short but efficace, add a title of the book, a brief description and where it can be downloaded.

6. Find list of group - Find a group relating the subject of your book. For instance: Let’s say you’ve written a book about “Make money online”. You can also create your own Facebook group, as I made recently, then increase the number of members, and when you reached hundred of members, you can send them a message where you say that you have launched your free book.

What is a persuasion? Is generally a strategy to convince someone to do something or that others find beneficial to agree with or you make them an offer they can’t refuse.  In particular, persuasive writing involves convincing the reader to perform an action, such as sale, lead, and so on.

According to Wikipedia:

Persuasive writing, also known as an argument, is used to convince the reader of a writer’s argument(s) relating to a debatable issue. Persuasive writing involves convincing the reader to perform an action, or it may simply consist of an argument(s) convincing the reader of the writer’s point of view. Persuasive writers employ many techniques to improve their argument and show support for their claim. Another definition is “an essay that offers and supports an opinion”.

You can apply a few techniques that can make your article more persuasive. Despite this list is in no way complete, these strategies are a lot used by affiliate marketers because they work.

Social Proof

According to Wikipedia the definition of Social Proof is:

Social proof, also known as informational social influence, is a psychological phenomenon that occurs in ambiguous social situations when people are unable to determine the appropriate mode of behavior.

Making the assumption that surrounding people possess more knowledge about the situation, they will deem the behavior of others as appropriate or better informed.

In a nutshell, Social proof is one of the most powerful strategy to apply in your blog, that helps you sell more products or services for growing a successful business. The classic examples of social proof are:

• Product testimonials  - Testimonials are absolutely essential to encourage an impulse sale.
• Banners - The banners place at the top of website are much more attractive, especially in the eyes of those in the know.

Solving Customers Problem

Once you identified the problem, then help to resolve it. Be clear about your solution, if you’re credibly giving a solution, then you’ve demonstrated to have understood his problem because you’ve enough experience at eliminating it. If you can’t put your finger on your customer’s problem, you won’t solve it. This is a extremely persuasion technique.

Pronosticate

Another persuasion strategy is to providing your readers an previsione of future events. This part has need to build credibility. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, customers don’t seem fully convinced about what you are writing.

Storytelling Approach

If you need people to be receptive to your line or convince your reader to do something, tell a story allows you to persuade well. In my view, is one of better persuasive writing strategy. I reccomend to use this strategy togheter other I’ve listed previously.

Repetition

Talking to people and repeat often what you’re saying can be both good and critical. It depend by structured your message, then be careful.

Be Rational

Getting the reader to agree with something that most people would have hard time disagreeing with.

Comparision

You can casually integrate elements like metafors, similes, and so on. This persuasive writing work well. You can comparing your offers with something reader already accept as true. For instance you can compare the features of your product with a similar product, but not compare with the price of another product.

Getting connections with people is an important part of the independent publisher’s day-to-day work. Before to connect with other people out there, is very important to reflect which are your brand and the niche you are collocated.

Blogging is a great way to do this, because give you the opportunities to choose your niche(marketing, technology, insurance, and so on), then to connect to other bloggers and share your content with them.

Thus, the following 3 ways are primarily about finding those people and connect with them.

1. Join To Facebook Group - Facebook allows you to find directly the people interested in your niche. The groups are so numerous that a way to find members in your niche is to check the wall posts and the discussion boards. Look at most active groups, check out the profile of each member, then add them as a friend. Why not, you can join to my Facebook Group at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=56335891527

2. Blog community - If you want to find particular blogs on a particular subject, then  Blog Communities are ideal. In brief, they are web directories that archive thousand of blog.

By using their search box become easy to find other blogs in the same niche. Also, each blog has a community where the members are interest for that niche. There are different way to find blogs on any niche, here are three services to check:

• SEOmoz

• Metafilter

• Blog Catalog
• Technorati
• Twitter
• Google Blog Search

3. Comment on blog - If you want to starting to connect with other blog, you can simply let a comment on other blog. Focusing on those blogs with more traffic and try to be the first few to leave a comment. Make your comment relevant and you’re likely to receive some visitors from others who visit the same niche. This method can bring to positive things: first you increase the traffic to your blog, second you can start a relationship with the blog author.

Bum Marketing is a strategy that allows anyone to use article marketing to make commissions from affiliate programs, get sales leads online, selling your own products or services, and so on.

In brief, here’s how it works:

1. You write articles about low competition niches.
2. Add your article to popular article websites.
3. Once those article are indexed by search engines, you wait if you make money from selling your own products.

The best thing of this methods is that it doesn’t take any money to make money, all you need to do is:

You need to create an account with an affiliate network and find affiliate programs with an high commission, and under-exposed niches.

At this point, you write several articles, by choosing low competition keyword. The next step is to add your articles to popular article directory in order to be indexed by Google and other major seach engines and get more visibility.

Remember, in this methods is crucial to get the first position on Google search engine or other main search engines such as Yahoo, MSN, Aol, and so on.

You need to create high quality content that are indexed for key-term or key-phrase that have low competitors. In this way, if someone searches for the keyword or niche you’ve choosen, you’ll increase the chance that your article will be the first to be read.

Thus, if you’ve done a good job pulling your readers in many magnetic articles, then you’ll could earn affiliate commissions.

The main reasons why you should use Bum Marketing are three:

1. You get commission in only one week.
2. You no need to spend any money. (No risk)
3. There no need of lose your time to building a website, or email list.

Once you get your articles into the first page of Google results(Top 10 results), you increase your chance to get your articles clicked, obviously the first results are better. Your purpose is not that to get your article clicked by people that search into the directory, but is that to make sure your article will be indexed by Google or other search engine.

Anyone that use the Bum marketing method have guaranted a steady monthly income online without spending a dime.

Now, i’m going to show you exactly how I implemented this method. I can’t promise to get million of dollars, but if you can work hard you could easily be making $100 a day in a few months!

How Does To Start

First and foremost you need to finding a product you want promote. I reccomend you to use cb-analytics to to choose your first product. Here you can check different data about a product you want to promote then the clickbank search option lets you.

I reccomend you to choose product that you know people will always want it. For instance, Cabin rentals is one, while something like Apple iphone has a limited life.

At this point, all you need to do is to find at least 30 low competition keywords for your product, that you believe to dominate your niche. In my view, the better tool to make this is googles keyword tool. It’s free to use.

Once found the keywords, create three or more Squidoo lenses. Squidoo is the popular publishing platform  that makes it easy for you to create “lenses” online. Lenses are pages, or overview articles, that gather everything you know about your topic of interest.

Using three low competition keywords in your niche. However, three lens should works well. When start your lenses, use keyword phrase such as “The Best North Georgia Cabin Rentals” would work better than “North Georgia Cabin Rentals”

Once created your Lenses, choose a domain name relative the product you want to promote redirect it to your clickbank landing page. You can use namecheap.com. They have good priced and let you redirect for free, as well.

As I said, choose a name related to your niche, for instance if your business is about cabin rental, a domain name like www.cabinrentalsideas.com, would work!

I write 8-10 articles(400 words) that includes an anchor text to each lense (30 articles total) and submit them to the article directory such as www.ezinearticles.com, the grand daddy of them all, but also www.goarticles.com, it takes up to 10 hours for your article to go live, www.articledashboard.com, and www.amazines.com.

Then, take these articles and rewrite each one 6 times. Making this operation take a lot of time and effort. To resolve this problem you can use a cool service called Unique Article Wizard that allows me to turn my original article into hundreds or even thousands of versions that are unique enough to fool Google’s algorithm. The service goes for $67 a month, it’s enough high, but in my view it worth.

Bookmarking Your Articles

I use Digg to submitting each blog post because my article will be indexed by Google within 6 hours. however, another good place where submit your article is also webmarketingblips.dailyradar.

In addition I also submit my site to RSS feeds directories and squidoo lenses to the popular RSS directories. If you want save your time, recently, I’ve compiled a strong list of 18 RSS directories.

You can also submit your blogs to www.blogcatalog.com this site help you to drive some visitors a day to your site, in my view its worth.

Once, you follow this points you have 30 pages  and three squidoo lenses, rss feed directories that attract potential customers and making you money.

Once this niche is complete you can see how the sales go while you can move onto another niche. If works hard and using this strategy you should generate about 50-100 bucks per day.

Today I want to share you some key rule about what you need to do to become the leader in your market… If you want to win over your competitors when selling information products online, there’s only one way: You need to Become THE GURU of your market.

I’m sure you’ll noticed that in everywhere online right now, people want to start an own business online are looking for marketing experts to learn from them how to DOMINATE a niche. Anyone make this job know that the best way to be first in your niche, increase the number of sales, and make a 6-Figure income online, is to BECOME the guru of YOUR niche.

There are three keys points to becoming the guru in your niche:

1. How To Become The GURU Of Your Niche Market - As we all know the lowest price always wins, but the price are variables: Some books sell for $10, some books sell for a $100, and some sell for a $1000.

Now the question is: How do you make a BOOK or other Information Products with a worth of thousand dollars? Well, you can do this by understanding how to organize your information, so it’s seen as VALUABLE, but the answer has nothing to do with what’s INSIDE your book!.

But first, let’s talk about the second step, how to dominate your niche and become a GURU:

2. How To Become The GURU Of Your Niche Market - First and foremost, you need to create compelling OFFERS that allows you to attract potential customers to your website and get them to opt-in to your list.

The better way to do this, or however, one of the commons and easiest ways to get people to join your list is to create a simple product that you can give away for free. This strategy works well because people perceived the product as something that has a very high value for the great price of: Free.

I reccomend you to start out with a free report, or if you want that customers pay something, you can put a little fee of $10, or create a video course that’s worth $20. Give it a powerful title that promises a specific benefit. Just remember: 200 pages, 20 Chapters, 10 pages per Chapter, lots of graphs and directories means you only really have to write 8 pages (max.) per Chapter. If you did the outline, 8 pages per Chapter will be a joke. In this way you’ll build your list quickly by attracting traffic like a magnet.

3. How To Become The GURU Of Your Niche Market - Increasing exposure to your business is the best way to increase the authority in your field. Every “gurus” has figured out how to make themselves famous and have mada so, they’re not born famous.

Each gurus focus their effort in one niche or set of niches that they specialize, that’s because they know that the “specialist” is the one that’s mor likely to become famous in their niche.

Once you’ve specialized you need to learn how to getting affiliate partners who have big lists and ask them to promote their offers. This method is the fastest, easiest way to increase your exposure and make yourself famous in your market.

How To Choose A Niche

At this point it’s time to choose a field where increase your authority. One of the negative things people do when choose a field is to go for the most popular topic without think twice about the competition that they might face in those markets.

However, I reccomend you don’t let this get you down, especially if most topics that you choose have both massive demand, and competition. For example the3dtechnologies.com is an example of topic with a potential market but also a massive competition.

Even people think that some markets are over-saturated, you can find tiny profitable niches that have been pretty much overlooked by most other marketers. These are only two examples of possible combinations:

• world of warcraft jewelcrafting
• world of warcraft jewelcrafting guide
• teak patio set
• teak patio sets
• teak bedroom furniture

and plenty more like that.

The problem with looking for niche marketing examples is that whilst there are literally millions of potential niches. And many of those are so small that they can only service a small number of businesses.

Here, I’ve summarized all that is necessary to Become The GURU Of Your Niche Market:

• Become an “expert” in your field, whatever it is. Remember, is a process that take effort and time, doesn’t happen overnight.
• Decide what you will write about, then create your own high-quality ebooks quickly. This step is crucial if you want to sell them yourself or start striking hot joint ventures with other big sellers.(It’s easy to do if you’ve seen the three key rules above).
• Created a landing page also known as a lead capture page, on your sites that persuade a visitor buy your product, and takes orders for you all day long, even while you are out or you are sleep.
• Starting your own partnership with other big “name” and set up your own affiliate program in order to get thousand of other people to sell your hot new product for you!
• For each book, sell resell rights to others for $10 to $47!  
• Create smaller, hot reports and turn them into your own opt-in list building. This is a great way to see your web site address quickly spread throughout the Internet - at the speed of a virus!
• Using website like Ebay, Amazon or other similar sites for make quick cash, you can use a program like Adwords and drive hundred of people a day on your landing page, as well.
• Create an entire line of back-end products to sell to your potential customers, and use them as bonuses by adding another quick income stream. It increase the perceived value of your existing products and packages.
• Compile all of them into one MEGA product and finally have your very own high-ticket product! Sell it for $97 (or more) a pop.
• Increase your traffic by using social media like Facebook, Stumbleupon, Twitter, than you can handle! In this way you build your lists, then profits, fast.
