6 Steps To Content Marketing Made Easy


One of the challenges of running a business online is that when people connect with you online, they are strangers.

Before they can even think about doing business with us, they need to know that we understand their problem, they can trust us, and if the solutions we offer will solve their problem.
That’s why content marketing is such a valuable technique for growing your business. It helps you boost website traffic, grow your mailing list, and increase sales.
But what exactly is it and how do you do it? Here are some simple steps to get started:
1. What is Your Intention?
Before you design any marketing campaign, the first step is to figure out what you want the prospect to do as a result of reading the content marketing piece.
Are you trying to get people to sign up for your event? Wanting them to schedule a free consult? Trying to get people to enroll in your coaching program?
Once you have your intention, you can design your content marketing piece to attract and deliver extreme value to your ideal client.
2. Find Out Your Customers’ Biggest Problems.
Sometimes we are too close to our business to accurately understand what it’s like to be in our customer’s shoes. That’s when you should directly ask prospects and customers what they need most.
Ask them to complete a survey about what worries them the most about their business. Call 3 of your best customers and ask them what issues are keeping them from having the success they’d like.
Read the posts of people in social media groups sharing their problems.
3. Choose A Format.
There are so many formats to choose from – you can write an eBook, shoot a video, do a free webinar, design a free online assessment, or host a Google hangout.
Choose a format that you are comfortable with – that way it’s easy to jump in and regularly offer new content marketing pieces.
4. Write an Action Plan.
Make a list of everything you need to do to complete the project. This includes creating a title, writing the piece, editing it, and creating a landing page with an opt-in form.
Hint: if you want to do it stress-free, hire some help to tackle the tech, make it pretty, and get it done fast!
5. Launch.
Put your content marketing piece on your website. Write a post on your blog. Create a social media graphic and share it on social media. Place a Facebook ad to drive traffic to your freebie. Share it in social media groups online. Do guest blog articles and mention your freebie in your byline.
Sign up for podcast interviews and mention your freebie as a free gift to listeners. Offer your freebie as part of a free gift bundle and share with your list and others. Print a copy of your freebie and show it at your networking group, telling people how to sign up and get a copy.
There are so many ways to share your content with others. Just remember, you have to market the free stuff as much as the paid stuff.
6. Lather, rinse, repeat.
People love new things – always be offering something new to your followers. Make an editorial calendar of blueprints, checklists, white papers, special reports, and videos you would like to offer them. Coordinate your freebies with your sales promotional calendar. Always share value, and you’ll have a tribe of happy campers always waiting to see what incredible resources and offers you have to share.
Content marketing is a highly effective way to grow your business.
You just sit back and watch your sales grow.
Here’s to big success in your content marketing efforts!

What Makes You Think Earning Online Is Impossible?

What Makes You Think Earning Online Is Impossible?
Why didn’t I make any money online when everybody else is earning loads of money? It is proven that majority of the sites that are set up usually run in losses and close down even before making a single penny.
While it is a fact that the online industry is fast developing and can also offer a good opportunity to earn lots of money, you will need to educate yourself with the accurate knowledge required to run your business.
After researching many of the new comers in the online business, these are some points that can possibly ruin a new comers dream.
1. Many of them opt for internet business as a means of getting rich in less time. They search for a source that will make them a millionaire overnight rather than working hard on their website.

2. Most of them keep reading the internet marketing books and suffer from information overload and cannot make a right choice from the various options available.

3. They cannot take the first step and keep on thinking if they can do it at all.
4. They keep changing from one business to another instead of focusing on a particular business. You should rather focus on a particular field and have your knowledge increased on it. Customers would like someone with expertise in a particular field.
5. They don’t have the determination, passion or the patience to get successful. You should know that, achieving success in this field is slow process and it will need some hard work. People expect instant results and this turns out to be one of the main reasons of failure.
6. Lack of technical skills can make the newcomers discouraged. They should rather educate themselves technically and carry on their work.
7. Many of them just don’t take internet business as a serious occupation. They are never willing to invest money in their business for advertising or educating themselves.
8. People don’t apply simple basic steps for building up their business and wonder why their business is not growing and making profits.
9. For an internet business to grow you to work hard and work smart. Just creating the website and expecting traffic to flow from day 1 is not how the business works. You need to have right knowledge and real patience to really excel.
10. The last point is to be persistent with your business. Never quit what you are doing for something else just because it is not working out. Increase your knowledge on it and work hard and you can observe you business returning you profits.
Just keep these basic points in mind; these can really put an end to your online business career.

How To Make EBook Creation Easier

How To Make EBook Creation Easier
Have you ever written an e-book and it has taken you for ever to write? Perhaps you started it a few months ago and you still haven’t finished? Or maybe it took you so long to finish that the thought of writing another one just does not appeal.
If that is the case then this article will help you to make e-book creation much easier and quicker.
Follow this plan:
  1. If you don’t yet know what topic your product will be about then this is obviously the first thing to decide. Find out what kind of topics your market need help with. Make a list of those topics and then choose one that you know a lot about and would be able to help other people with.

  2. Once you have chosen your topic break that down into as many sub topics as you can think of that people need to know in order to fully understand that main topic.
  3. Now go back to those sub topics and list three steps that someone needs to take to understand that sub topic.
  4. Once you have done that you can then begin writing. Below each of the three steps that you have listed underneath the subtopics just begin writing about those steps. This prevents you from getting overloaded and not knowing where to start by breaking your topic down into smaller and smaller parts.
  5. Once you have finished writing you can check that your e-book flows from one sub topic to the next. When you are happy that it flows you can then assign each sub topic as a chapter in your e-book.
  6. The three steps underneath each sub topic could be a subheading for that particular chapter if that would help the reader.
  7. You then need to add an introduction at the beginning of your e-book which outlines what you are covering and what people can expect to learn from your product.
  8. At the end you need some kind of conclusion or summary chapter with points that people can take away and implement to improve or achieve what they want to.
  9. Now go back and proof read your e-book and ask some other people to read it for you as sometimes when you have written something yourself you don’t often spot errors.
  10. Once you are happy that your e-book read well and there are no errors in it then you can convert it into a PDF document. I use Open Office for this. And then upload that PDF to your website.
If you use this technique for all of your e-book creation you will see that it can be done much quicker and will not be such a daunting prospect.

The EBook Selling Business And How You Can Reach Success

The EBook Selling Business And How You Can Reach Success
For those that don’t know, selling eBooks are awesome. There’s nothing like it. You can wake up with sales in your inbox. You don’t have to physically deliver anything. Products can be instantly downloaded from your website. You can sell more eBooks to your customers to make MORE money. And you can put the whole thing on autopilot! Doesn’t this sound great!
Well, it is great. The not-so-great part is that many people who hear about this business fail miserably. They don’t want to learn more about marketing, they prematurely invest in paid advertising – with no idea as to how to make paid advertising work for them. They don’t know what the true meaning of “break-even” is. And they don’t know how to earn additional profits from their eBook after offering it for free – or even selling one for a price.
I must admit, there are a lot of people selling eBooks online today. More than likely you will find yourself with at least 1 competitor… even in some of the smallest niches online. And then in some niches, they may be filled with competitors, but you can STILL make a killing because the niche is just so responsive, and they desperately desire the information that you’re trying to sell them.
So, even though it can be tough, there are great rewards ahead of you if you plan to stay in this business for the long haul. So what are some of the tough things that you can encounter in the eBook business? Well for one there is competition. If you decide to go into a popular niche just because it “seems” like everyone is making money in it, you’re going down the long, unsuccessful path.
Another reason that selling eBooks are tough is that most newbies have no idea as to how to get a lot of traffic to their website. Traffic is essential if you want to see recurring eBook sales in your inbox every day. This is very important. There are a lot of traffic strategies out there, but I would say that the top 7 of them will produce the most results for you.
If you plan on using paid advertising, that’s fine. Just be sure to track your earnings, see if you can turn a profit from the incurred cost, and be sure to test new campaigns. If what you’re doing right now isn’t making the money that you were hoping for, test something different, or exit out of the niche.
If you try everything possible and still can’t get sales, it’s time to exit out of the niche. A good way to tell if a niche is responsive or not is to offer a free gift. If you ask for a person’s FIRST NAME and EMAIL ADDRESS so that you can email them the free gift, and people still aren’t massively responding… it’s time to get out of the niche. Period.
Don’t beat a dead horse. eBook marketing is easy, and it can be easy for you if you know what you are doing. There are many people who think that they can earn a great income with eBooks, but they have no idea of what they’re up against. Do your best, and be sure to monitor your sales, income, and business.
Good luck with selling eBooks today.

Writing Your First (Kindle) EBook – 6 DOs 3 DON’Ts

Writing Your First (Kindle) EBook – 6 DOs 3 DON’Ts

The following are some dos and don’ts if you’re thinking of writing (and publishing) an e-book for the first time. My experience comes from writing & publishing two books on Amazon Kindle, plus I’ve shared some knowledge gained from others who have a great deal more experience with eBooks & Kindle, such as Sean Roach and Ryan Deiss.
Firstly, 6 DOs!
#1 Do consider Amazon Kindle
According to a senior Google executive, Amazon is the company that they fear most. Amazon has over 400 million credit cards registered with them. No one else comes close. Why is Google so concerned? It’s that Amazon attracts buyers not browsers.
When it comes to eBooks, Amazon’s electronic publishing arm, Kindle, is one of the most powerful forces in the business. There are now over 100 million black and white Kindle readers and, more impressively still, the new Kindle Fire (which has a colour screen) has sold over 23 million units since July 2012. Not least that, but Kindle books can also be read (for free) on virtually every platform that’s out there. E.g. iPhones, iPads, PCs, Macs, Android etc. It’s no wonder that Kindle is growing at 119% a year.
#2 (Just) Do it!
If you think you’ve got a book in you, I encourage you to ‘Just Do It’. It’s now easier than ever. Once you’ve hit that Publish button, one of the beauties of the platform is that all books are placed at the same level; whether published by you, Simon and Schuster, or whoever!
You don’t even need to have expertise or special knowledge in any given subject… it’s perfectly okay to write as a reporter.
Another plus is that you don’t need to write a large amount. If you can write in the range of 20 to 50 pages, that’s perfect. If you want to write more than that, then consider writing a series of books rather than a single large book (as was the way, further back in history). If you are a first-timer, then the biggest challenge is possibly just that of overcoming the fear to take a risk and look stupid. Everyone gets that to a degree, so, as they say, just feel the fear and do it anyway. (Version One is better than Version None!)
#3 Do it for Fun (and profit too)!
To get going, perhaps start by just writing for fun. Take the smallest of steps and let it grow.
However, if you’re interested in profit too, I have some numbers that you may find interesting. Firstly, the costs to publish are very low. Kindle themselves charge nothing, however, if you want a professional photograph for your cover, you may need to pay a third-party for publishing rights (say $US 10 for a high resolution picture from a stock photo library). Likewise for formatting; if you prefer to not do it yourself you’ll have to outsource, however, the cost for that is very low as well.
Of course, beyond these costs the sky’s the limit if you want a very professional result or the support of a real publisher. However, if you’re just starting out, you can do so on a shoestring budget.
In terms of book pricing, the sweet spot for Kindle books is between $US 2.99 and $US 9.99. Any lower than that and the price might appear too cheap (implying low quality), and any higher than that needs extra justification. But, perhaps your book really does warrant a higher price. That’s great if so. However, unless there’s a compelling reason to do otherwise, it’s best to stay within the sweet spot range.
Though these prices may seem low, they can still produce a good income for the author as long as the volume is sufficiently high. This is because, as the author, you’ll get up to 70% royalty. (Amazingly, you’ll likely get a better income from an Amazon book selling at $US 2.99 than you will from a traditional paper book selling for $US 24.99!)
If you’re interested in some specific profit examples, I recently came across the results of a couple of Kindle ‘how-to’ books. One was called How To Purify Water and the other was called How To Use Pinterest. Even though both were priced at only $US 2.99, the book on how to purify water produced a royalty profit of about $US 300 per month, and the book on Pinterest produced a royalty profit of about $US 1,300 per month. Pretty good, eh!
#4 Do… aim for a Niche
The previous two examples lead neatly into the subject of niches. Both of those books were, I believe, aimed deliberately at popular niches; the purify water book at the ‘disaster preppers’ niche and the Pinterest book at a ‘happening’ Internet niche.
If you do write for a hot niche, then the results can be great. However, the trade-off is that the result may not be sustained over time.
Of course, niches need not be non-fiction. It’s worth noting that, for every three non-fiction books on Kindle, there are about two fiction books.
One example of a hot fiction niche came about following the roaring success of the book Fifty Shades of Grey. Despite its professional reviewers (who said its quality was “mixed to negative”) it became the fastest-selling paperback of all time. Of course, Kindle rode that wave too and did whatever they could to quickly get more titles of the same genre. (Maybe they still are!)
A brief word on pen names & niches. I’ve chosen to write my books using my own name. Of course, it’s perfectly okay to write in a pen name too. The best advice I’ve received is to use one pen-name per niche if you are publishing in multiple niches.
#5 Do some things to speed Production
I’ve found it’s best to write long, write fast, ignore errors, and then go back and rewrite, rewrite and rewrite again. (I actually start with a mind-map). Set-up the structure first and, if you can, create a book title and description early on. (Essentially, define the outcome and work back from there). To make progress at a reasonable pace, set yourself deadlines and then stick to them. Celebrate when you hit them. And, if you don’t, you might even want to give yourself an occasional penalty!
The only real ‘tool’ you need is Microsoft Word. Kindle does have a process to take Word documents and automatically convert them to their format (HTML). However, you will likely need to adjust your document before submitting it for conversion, as there are some aspects that their process is poor at achieving. E.g. table of contents, bullet points etc. (But, as mentioned before, there are plenty of people who offer this service at low cost).
One thing I’ve used to help me write quickly is voice recognition software. This technology has been around for a long time, however, it has now developed to a point at which it is both fast and accurate. It has to first learn about your style of talking, but, when that has happened it can type as fast as you can talk. I used a program called DragonSpeak, which costs $AU 80. It’s worth every cent!
#6 Do… pick a suitable environment
I found that the choice of the location that is used to write can make a big difference. The better you can focus, the better your speed and quality will be. For example, if you have a study at home that might be perfect for you, or perhaps you prefer a cafe, or public library. Whatever it is, if you’re getting stuck, I suggest to first experiment with your writing environment. (And that includes picking a time when you’re at your best). Just do whatever works for you.
And lastly, 3 DON’Ts!
Here are three simple tips that might help.
#1 Don’t copy others!
Don’t be tempted to plagiarise. Though I’m pleased to say that the content I’ve produced is original, it’s certainly the case that some people copy other people’s work (whether in large or small amounts). For anyone considering taking this shortcut, be aware that Kindle has sophisticated technology to detect this. They are able to scan on-line and check whether duplicate content exists elsewhere. So, the best advice is simple… just produce original work.
#2 Don’t proofread off the screen
It’s very important to produce material that looks good. Even if your content is the most fantastic and valuable thing ever written, it will be dragged down if the presentation is bad e.g. poor spelling, punctuation, grammar etc. I would recommend that, at the very least, you get someone else to proofread your manuscript. Failing that, print out a hard copy and then go through it yourself with a red pen, sentence-by-sentence, word-by-word. Do so slowly, and carefully… very carefully. If you rush it, you will likely miss errors.
But, whatever you do, don’t ever try to proofread off a screen. If you do this, errors are even harder to find. However, fortunately, if you do spot mistakes once the book has been published, it’s very quick and easy to fix them. Just resubmit and the corrected version will be published within about 12 to 24 hours.
#3 Don’t produce an elaborate cover
The key here is simplicity. When people first discover your book it’ll likely be as one thumbnail image in a search result amongst many others. Elaborate covers will likely mask the message, and so people may not click through to find out more. I would also suggest that, if your cover is light in colour, use a dark border on the outer edge. Again, the reason stems from the search process, as the cover thumbnail images are presented against a white background. So, if your book cover has a light shade, it will tend to merge into the background. So, better still, use a darker cover and that way it will stand out more.
As it is for the cover picture, so it is for the title. For this reason, use a title that is short and choose a style that is bigger & bolder than you would first think required.
In closing, I hope you’ve got some value from this article. With luck, you’re now encouraged to go ahead & write your first e-Book!

3 Ways To Generate Revenue With Your E-books

3 Ways To Generate Revenue With Your Ebooks

When it comes to writing a book, there are those who write simply for the pleasure of writing, those who write to make money and those who write for both the pleasure and profit.
It may seem like all authors want to make a profit, but this is not always the case. However, for the purpose of this article, let’s assume your reasons for writing include making a profit. In this case, there are plenty of ways to increase your revenue-generating opportunities.
Three primary ways to generate revenue are:
  • Direct sales
  • Affiliate sales
  • Back-end sales
Direct Sales
Direct sales are exactly what they sound like-selling directly by way of Kindle, another online bookstore, and/or your website. You make money based on immediate sales. How much you make is determined by what you charge and the number of buyers.
Even when your book is listed on Kindle, your site or any other location, your job doesn’t end. You must still promote the book and drive traffic to Kindle and your website.
If you rely solely on your book being listed, with no effort on driving traffic, you will have minimal success with sales.
Driving sales
Send promotional messages to your current list of subscribers. Offer some type of incentive to encourage people to buy immediately.
Announce the book on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social network locations.
Create short articles, 300-500 words, from the book content. Post in article directories such as EzineArticles.com. Include a resource box at the end of the article to drive traffic to one of the purchase locations. The resource box is the section at the very bottom of an article that encourages readers to take another action, such as buying directly or opting in for something.
A resource box is where you promote yourself, your product and your website/blog. The aim of a good resource box is to do all three, when possible. The best use of a resource box is to get readers on your subscriber list, rather than trying to sell them immediately. This allows more long-term opportunity. You WANT to get buyers to take the action of getting on your subscriber list.
Follow Up
It is easy to follow up with a buyer when they buy directly from your website. It is slightly more challenging when they buy directly from Kindle because you have no way of knowing who bought, unless you offer an incentive for the buyer to let you know who they are.
The process includes the buyer submitting his or her name, email and order number on a landing page, in exchange for some type of bonus gift (incentive).
Position Your Expertise
Although you may be known to your current market, those not familiar with your work will not be as inclined to make other purchases from you unless they believe you to be an expert.
The reader needs to know you are an authority on the topic you write about. You can establish expert status through the dedication in the front of your book and by your bio.
One client of mine has worked with thousands of dog owners over a 35-year period. Rather than simply writing “This book is dedicated to dog owners everywhere,” my client could write the dedication to include the following:
I dedicate this book to the tens of thousands of dogs and their owners. I have had the honor of working with over the last 35 years. It has been, and continues to be, my honor and privilege to know you, guide you and educate you in the best ways to train your dog.
This type of a dedication accomplishes two primary outcomes:
1. The reader will see and feel her deep gratitude for them and what she does as a dedicated expert.
2. For those new to her information, this positions her expert status, credibility and expertise by virtue of the thousands she has worked with in the decades she has done so.
Some authors make a great living with direct sales. It’s likely those authors have a loyal fan base, and they proactively promote their books. However, to rely solely on direct sales limits an author’s success and leaves lots of money on the table.
To generate greater revenue opportunities consider both affiliate and backend sales.
Affiliate Sales
Affiliate sales are generated in two primary ways-others selling your ebook or your placing affiliate links inside your ebook.
Depending on the topic of your ebook and how well written it is, there are likely to be lots of people who would like to sell it. If it is sold directly from an affiliate’s website, a standard commission is 50%.
You can also list the ebook on ClickBank for even more exposure to potential affiliate sales.
When you are the affiliate, you can have several links inside your ebook. Make sure whatever you promote inside your book is directly related to the topic of the book.
For example, if your book is on raw-food eating and you are reviewing various food processors, you can add in an affiliate link for your favorite processor in this section of your book.
In the case of my dog training client, she refers to various types of equipment the dog owner needs to use to get the most out of training. When referring to a specific type of equipment, such as leashes, collars, toys, etc., this is where she can begin selling within the ebook.
She can have affiliate links that lead directly to a company sales page for any one of these items. She can also have a link that leads to a page on her website, offering several choices for the reader.
Depending on how many people initially bought her ebook, this can be either a small or substantial revenue stream. The beauty of selling items inside your ebook is that you can have live links that go directly to a sales page.
Backend Sales
Backend sales are the revenues you generate after someone purchases your ebook. Backend sales include other products and services.
The only way you can do backend sales is if you know who the initial buyer is. Again, when someone buys directly from your website, you do have immediate access to the buyer’s information.
When they buy from Kindle, another online bookstore or an affiliate you may not have this information. Thus the reason to drive buyers back to a landing page to opt in for something based on proof of their initial purchase of your book.
To optimize backend sales you must be very strategic and think in terms of ‘what comes next’ for the reader.
To get the most from direct, affiliate and/or backend sales you absolutely must think beyond writing your ebook.

Design Your Own Future Don’t Leave It To Chance

Design Your Own Future – Don’t Leave It To Chance

We all wish we had a crystal ball so we could see what our future holds. But the reality is if you want to predict your future, then YOU have to create it.
Wishing won’t get you what you want, hoping won’t either, waiting for the ‘right time’ is also not an option.
If you want any chance of having the future of your dreams then you must design it yourself.
Don’t wait for someone else to do it because chances are their plans for your future will not be what you want at all. The ‘miracle’ or ‘good luck’ that you are waiting for are not going to happen either. It is a sad but true fact that we waste so much of our lives procrastinating, waiting for things to get better by themselves, but do they?
If you want your future to be YOUR future, you have to make the changes and the choices yourself, and you need to start NOW.
Design your own future, don’t leave it to chance. Chance is a risk far too many people take when it comes to what they want to achieve for their future, and rarely do they get what they want.
While it’s never too late to start planning your future, the big tip… The sooner you do start, the better the outcome.
Whatever it is you want for your future, you will need a plan. And then you need to put your plan into action and work towards the result you want. In this case, a well designed future to be able to live the lifestyle of your dreams.
Important decisions should never be left to chance.
Whether you want to travel, have the house of your dreams, a yacht to sail around the world. Money, success, fame and fortune. The one thing you can be sure of, it won’t happen by itself. And certainly no one will arrange it for you.
You need to start now and get your future on track. Don’t leave it to chance or you will be disappointed.
There is no reason why you can’t have or be whatever you want. The secret – you have to want it badly enough that you won’t stop until you succeed.
Think about this. If you keep doing what you are doing now where will you be 1 year from now? If you can’t see yourself in a better position then you are now then you need to make changes. If 1 year into the future doesn’t look like being any better, what about in 10 years!
Get started now – design your own future, can you really afford to leave it to chance…

The Advanced Internet Marketing Idea

The Advanced Internet Marketing Idea

There is a more advanced Internet marketing idea on the streets right now and many of us are already using it, we just don’t realize we can make money online with it. The more advanced idea involves social media. Many online businesses are already taking advantage of social media and what it has to offer in order to make money online. If you want to get into social marketing and make the best out of it, the tips we are about to give you will help you out. Read more information below.
Who You Should Get to Know
Yes, you should get to know your potential customers on those social networks, but at the same time, you also need to know the gurus. When it comes to social marketing, networking is an important factor. So many focus on doing nothing more than building up their fan base, without taking time out to become friends with the experts out there.
You Got to be Social
There is a reason they call it “social media.” You have to be social! If your online business is using social media in order to make money online, it is important that you build the trust of your fans and followers. When you start your social marketing “career,” don’t blast a string of links to those on your list, because they might delete you. First of all, you need to put focus into building a strong relationship with them. Take time out of your day to speak with your fans and followers – learn about them and ask how their day was. Have you ever watched a movie called “The Joneses?” If not, go ahead and watch it – you might learn a thing or two.
Disguise Your Marketing
Some places on the Internet won’t allow you to advertise on them, but there are ways to go around them. You can go around them by writing an interesting article for the readers and presenting it on the forum or blog comment area. You must gain credibility on the site before you start “advertising.” Once you gain credibility on the site, people will not be so rude to you when you place your offer.
Social media is the advanced Internet marketing idea and if you have not already done so, you should start taking advantage of it right away. Once you start using this idea, you will not regret it.

Two Methods To Make Extra Money Online Writing eBooks

Two Methods to Make Extra Money Online Writing eBooks

There was a time where none knew the kind of impact digital eBooks would have on the writing and publishing industry. The idea of publishing an eBook (soon to be easily read on a computer, e-reader or smartphone) for making extra money online seemed like a distant dream.
But not anymore. Today with the emergence of Web technologies, availability of eBooks has become amazingly easy. One need not carry a hard copy of a book, all they need to do is download the eBook onto laptop, phone or reader and they can read as they go. There are several ways that one can make extra money online by writing and publishing eBooks.
However today we shall look into the two most important ways, followed by most successful authors to cultivate their ebook career and make extra money online:
The first method used by many writers is creating an eBook for other marketers. In other words they ghost write eBooks for businesses, to promote products and services. Ghost writing is one popular method by which many beginning authors make extra money online.
Today every business, be it small, medium or large wants to have their online presence felt among potential clients and customers. They design eBooks containing all the necessary information about products and services they offer, and then hire an author to write the ebook for them.
The ebook will also contain links that lead clients to the company’s website. It could be said that eBooks are a great tool to generate large amounts of traffic to a website. This strategy is beneficial for both writers and marketers, as it supports both their efforts to make extra money online.
The second method is for an author to write and publish their own eBook. Yes, the self publishing industry is a blessing in disguise for many authors.

Sound familiar?

The good news?
I’m going to share with you a very simple strategy you CAN try and apply… that DOES work, and that doesn’t require you to invest in anything at all to find out for yourself.
Sound good? If so… continue reading as we tackle some quick and easy online marketing strategies that WILL make you $1000 (or more) this month, without any gurus, gadgets and goofiness at all if you are ready.
Curious? Let’s dive in and find out below.
Q: What is the FASTEST way to earn $1000 a month online WITHOUT a big budget to blow?
Very simple. The absolute BEST way is a simple linear marketing method that allows you to convert your CONTENT into cash.
You can do this as an affiliate (as thousands have and still do). Or, you can do it as a business owner with your own products or services to offer. (like a coach, or a consultant, or a teacher, trainer or mentor)
Want to try to earn money selling OTHER peoples products to start?
Start like THIS:
Pick a solid, high paying affiliate offer (as summer approaches, diet, dating and beauty oriented offers are great for this, and lots of the big brands have sky high earnings right now).
Register a simple.info domain name (will cost you about 99 cents!).
Put your affiliate code on the index (or root) of the domain you just registered.
Write articles JUST like this one you are reading right now…
And encourage your readers to visit your page via the resource box at the end of each article.
Very simple, right? Maybe you are thinking TOO simple?
Think again!
If you pick offers that have EPC numbers (average earnings per 100 visitors referred) of $100 or more… on average, if you do only as well as other partners, you will earn about 100 dollars for every visitors you refer.
That means – send 33 visitors a day to the offer, without selling anything… and you’ll be earning $1000 a month.
Pick an offer with an EPC of $300 (like many diet offers will have during bikini season..:-) and you only need 11 visitors a day to reach the same goal.
Think that’s tough to do?
I promise, it’s not. I have used free content to generate many MILLIONS of readers using the exact same approach as above, all using nothing but my keyboard, my creativity and my free time. (and so TOO can you!)
The secret is simple:
Make your business about the MATH, and not the marketing.
You can use this very same approach to build your OWN brand, your own blog, your own business and your own bank account as well. But if you are struggling to start, simply pick an offer you like and trust and can recommend… make sure it pays you what you deserve, and start converting your CONTENT into cash… starting right NOW!
