Would You Like To Write A Book?

I have always enjoyed writing. Even way back in high school, I can remember never dreading having to write a book report of term paper. I had a creative writing class in high school that taught me a really easy way to write any type of report of paper. I actually breezed through a writing course in college based strictly on the technique taught to me in that high school class. I never had to go to the actual class, I just wrote the 7 papers assigned to me and received a 4.0 in the class.

I enjoy writing even to this day, although I don’t get to do as much of it as I would like. I write emails to my family relating all the day to day funny stories that my two small children supply me with. I write short informational articles to be posted online. What I haven’t done yet is write a book. It has always intrigued me, especially since I enjoy reading books so much.

To write a book, you need to start with an a comprehensive outline of the story you want to tell. This will make it much easier once you start to write the actual book. It will help you keep the storyline chronological and make sure the story can be followed. It will also help you with your character development. If your readers don’t like your characters, your book will not become popular. Breaking your story down chapter by chapter will also help you break the task down into manageable steps.

Once you have your outline written, you can begin the actual book writing. As you are writing the book, you shouldn’t worry about editing. You can get lost in that task and then find that your writing time has been used up. You can also become easily distracted and a train of thought that may allow you to finish an entire chapter will disappear. You can lose a lot of time this way. You should just write for the amount of time you have set aside. If you are on a roll and have the ability to keep going even after your time is up, by all means-keep going.

Time management is one of the most important parts of getting a book written. You need to set aside a period of time everyday to wrote. Do not let anything interfere with that block of time you have set aside. Most people work best in a quiet environment, so if this is possible, set up your writing time during a period of time that you believe will be quiet. Perhaps in the evening after your kids have gone to sleep or if they are in school. Some people are able to concentrate with a lot going on around them. I am not one of those people.

The most important thing about writing a book is to actually spend the time WRITING

Demystifying Print On Demand (POD)

There are many ideal applications for Print on Demand when only a small number of books are needed. They include family genealogies, church histories, cookbooks and autobiographies with limited appeal to mostly family and friends. Other instances where this print approach makes sense is if an old book still sells a few hundred copies a year, you need a few dozen copies of a manuscript to send out ahead of time for advance blurbs, possible book club sales, or to interest an agent or trade publisher. Some speakers use POD when they need a small quantity of a customized workbook for a special client or a seminar.

While POD can be the perfect answer for the above situations, it often is not the best approach for a serious author/publisher. Short runs can be shortsighted. There is so much bewilderment surrounding this publishing venue, it’s as if Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen combined to craft a baffling mystery. So to help you sort out the options, here are some clarifications:

While you can save money by printing fewer books with POD printers, each book will cost you more. When you figure out what the fees are to print the interior and the cover of your book (each is separate), you′ll probably be in the $5 - $7 per book range. That gets expensive in a hurry if you plan on sending out many complimentary review copies—which has proven to be absolutely the best way to sell books. In traditional printing of say, 3000 books, you′ll only spend about $2 or $3 a book, depending on different factors.

Quality is sometimes a problem with POD publishers. Most don′t require any editing, so manuscripts replete with errors may be the norm. (Even if you have yours professionally edited, you risk “guilt by association.”) It’s the old vanity/subsidy story cloaked in new technology. The covers seldom can compete with those seen in bookstores. And because the interior pages are usually created on a Docutech, laser printer toner is used in place of actual rich inks.

One of the main reasons most authors self-publish is because they want to maintain control of their books. With most POD houses this is lost because they issue you one of their ISBNs and list themselves as the publisher of record in Books In Print. An ISBN is to a book what your social security number is to you. It’s your ID in the world. Seems like a simple, helpful thing, right? Wrong! It can have far-reaching ramifications.

The ISBN is how people find the publisher of a book. So if a book club, corporate bulk buyer, cataloger, or filmmaker, for instance, seeks to purchase your book, their inquiry will be directed to the POD publisher, not you. This proves disastrous because POD is not designed to offer the deep discount such transactions require. So these special sales—that are often your bread and butter in traditional self-publishing—disappear without your ever hearing a word.

Unfortunately, bookstores are skeptical about carrying POD books. Bookstores typically require a 40% discount off the publisher’s retail price, the ability to return unsold books, operate by purchase order, and expect the publisher to pay all shipping fees. This all runs counter to how PODs operate. They offer less than a 40% discount, won’t allow books to be returned, aren’t equipped to issue purchase orders, and expect the bookstore to pay shipping fees of something like $3.50 per book. So there goes your bookstore market.

POD publishers, most of whom seem ridiculously inexpensive, use your book as a profit center. The more books you sell, the more money they make. It’s often left to you to drive traffic to Web sites and create any demand.

The author usually must pay in the neighborhood of 75% of the retail price of the book to get copies for review or to resell. Thus, if you were to try to sell to bookstores, which need a 40% discount, you would lose money on every book sold. One major POD house mandates that paperbacks retail for $16 and hardcovers for $25. So what do you make? On a paperback, for instance, the author royalty is $1.60 on any sales to bookstores, libraries, and resellers . . . and $4.00 when a book is sold direct to a consumer.

Let’s compare that to a traditional self-publishing arrangement. The average overall discount for small presses is 38%. (This takes into consideration books purchased at full price with no discounts, all the way to wholesalers who require a 55% discount.) If you had a $14.95 paperback, minus the 38%, your profit would be $9.27 per book. If you published a $22.95 hardcover and factored in that same overall 38% discount, you would make $14.23 on every book sold.

Do you want to make real money selling books? Serious, smart authors/publishers choose traditional self-publishing. The mystery is solved.

Article Marketing - Click Throughs VS Target Traffic - Thin or Think Articles

It appears that a very large percentage of the article authors who write on the top online article submission sites are more interested in click-through traffic. This is why they write articles and why they post on article marketing sites, as that is its original purpose of such sites.

Indeed, someone writing better articles can perhaps gain the perception of expert and then get more targeted traffic. There of course is that issue of targeted traffic VS traffic. Still I find that debate interesting because if you have an article with 75,000 views and one with 300, then you will as a percentage get more sales on your website from the one with 75K article views, simple percentages and click through rates, sure the click-through rate maybe less than 1/2 or 1/3 but with that degree of difference - who cares.

You have the traffic and a percentage of those will become buyers you see? Thus if I write a “trite” article about the “10 Most Popular Hair Style for 2007″ which I did and if it gets 75,000 article views which it did, I still come out ahead no matter how you slice it.

So, you can see the incentive of thinly written, trite content does pull on one’s reality if their goal is solely to get traffic. My goals are not traffic anymore and I do not often write silly articles like that, as it was more of an experiment for me, the subject simply does not interest me, and I could care less “What Paris Hilton Eats for Breakfast in the LA Jail,” but you can bet someone who writes that article today, will rock with traffic in the future. Think on this, I did and that title is now taken.

You Can Also Write

I am sure that there would have been a moment in your life when you would thought of writing a poem, an article or a book. You may have not written so far BUT YOU CAN.

By writing an article, a book or alike, you bring your knowledge, experience, thoughts and ideas into words. In return, you get fame and money sometimes but the biggest SATISFACTION comes when people benefit from your knowledge and thoughts.

If above sentences motivate you enough then you have inclination towards writing. Keep it up and start writing. You may think that you are not trained for this but infact you are. In school, you were asked to write 5 or 10 sentences on particular object or event. Later, this graded to writing essays. And in college, you may have written technical or project reports. So, if you can do at that time then you can write this time also and definitely, in a better way.

As far as topic of writing is concerned, so you can write on anything. You can write on ‘what you feel about life’, ‘how you handled a particular situation’, ‘Any suggestions on organizing oneself’, ‘Any tips for new parents’ and this list goes on. If you are a techie person then you can write on hot buzz in your industry like if you are an IT guy then you can write on ‘wireless networks’, ‘RFID’, etc.

Once you have written, comes the need of publishing it. You can contribute your writings in your local newspapers and magazines. If it’s a book then contact a publisher with a sample copy of your writing. But, the latest trend is EZINES and EBOOKS. It is a very fast and cost-effective way of publishing your writings. Also, if you publish it in e-zine or e-book then you have large reader base across the world. Infact, I got my first article “10 ways of learning a software” published in EZINEARTICLES (www.ezinearticles.com). It is a nice and popular website for publishing your articles on various topics.

As you write more and more articles, your vocabulary and command over grammar will increase. Your way of expressing your knowledge and thoughts will get polished. The writing style can be further improved by the reading the work of others. And sooner or later, you will fall in love with WRITING.

So, all the best of your article endeavor and I hope to read article written by you soon. If my writing really helps you in writing then please drop a mail at zainvi.sf@gmail.com (Remember, SATISFACTION that comes if readers are benefited…)

Article Writing - How to Get Over Writer’s Block and Write 20 Articles a Day

Article writing is not easy, I realize that. Some days I can write 20 articles and some days I only write 10 and then on another day, none at all.

My greatest regret in my online business is that I have not written twice as many articles as I have written. I believe with all my heart that my current income would be twice what it is if I had written twice as many articles up to this point.

But some days it is not easy.

I stare at a blank page, and wonder what to write.

Here is the technique I find works best for me.

I write a list of all the keywords I would like to write articles about. This might be a list of 200 or more.

I do this in word online so that I can edit easily.

Then I write one thing next to the keyword that I want to write an article about.

Now I have a list of 200 article topics.

Then I start at the top, and write 3 things I need to write about to do each topic justice.

Next, I go to the top of the list and start writing the articles. I can write 200 articles (enough for 10 days at 20 articles per day) with this list.

Do I get bored? Yes. Is it always easy? No.

But I just do it. I have to. Articles are the fuel for my profitable online business.

Zen and the Art of Online Article Authorship

Many say that it is essential to detach yourself from your article writing to maximize your efforts in the online article author domain. They say that becoming one with the universe and all things can help you achieve all. Yes indeed, sounds great and when you are done crossing the galaxy like a shooting star then perhaps you might come back to Earth and live in the real world in time to utilize all this wonderfulness you have achieved.

You know as nice as all this sounds you do not have to clear your plate to will events to occur or expect the holistic universe to perform. However it all works, it works either way. It simply is. All frequency and vibrational energy intersects, you do not have to detach to plug in.

It is not Newtonian Universe VS Eastern Culture. It is both. If you are really one with all, then show me your results in the here and now and also the spiritualness side simultaneously. And you can detach yourself from the here and now and collect enlightenment from the universe or collective minds if you wish, but then who is writing your article then? You or Us? If you are not writing it, then leave your name and link off of it, because that is plagiarism. HA! Let’s debate it shall we?

There is a time for detachment from your articles and neutrality, thinking outside the box and domain of the subject or topic. Then there is a time to ignite passion for your article and allow the juices to flow like never before. Consider it. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.

Where Ebooks Come from: The EzineArticles Cabbage Patch and AIM Stork Delivery

Rosie O’Donnell and Barbara Walters spin-offs come to mind, when old friends get together for an evening of conspiratory inspiration and discussion of article marketing for their business sites. A conversation that at one time might have included whispered IM’s “girl talk” about who’s husband was the world’s worst cad, have evolved to business value discussions about how to market articles, a website, or better yet - how to create a new niche market and profitable business. The miles between the instigators of this article have never slowed down their friendship or business development and communications. AOL Instant Messaging, Chat Rooms, and Communications Forums provide ample space for working through developmental stages to profitability.

Article Marketers with Expert Status on ezinearticles.com, these two focus their words to promote business and profitability. Professionalism becomes the talk of the moment as Laura McDonald of paralegalsecretary.com/” target=”_blank paralegalsecretary.com and Jan Verhoeff of brandyourmarket.com/” target=”_blank brandyourmarket.com discuss what sells online and what doesn’t. Experience counts when marketing product and meeting the needs of online clients and associates. After several hours of pondering around the ezinearticles cabbage patch, the AIM Stork solution became an outline and the results were penned - delivered just in the nick of midnight.

1. High Interest Article Titles Evolve Into Marketable Ebooks

When an article title is viewed several hundred times, the article gets attention and scrutiny to determine serviceability in other ways. Can it be marketable as an ebook? If the title has viable content, the ebook is coined and outlined, although the title may change substantially - the basic idea is conceived.

These articles may or may not have been written by those reviewing the titles. The value in the titles may not be the actual title but the words and ideas they inspire.

2. Contrived Content Sparks The Giggles & Inspires

At midnight, almost anything can bring on a fit of giggles, even in 40-something professionals determined to behave appropriately. As titles are considered, they often get mangled into tear jerking fits of laughter and humorous antidotes noted for future reference. Oh the memories they create! And “Kick Butt Residual Income for Kick Ass Lawyers with Referral Marketing” may be the working title that sparks an idea. While it probably won’t hit the book store with the same title, the vision of Cowboy boots and a Long Horn Bull in a court room can breed contempt into any Judges’ Chambers and inspiration doesn’t have to be professional.

Amid the chatter and the giggles, serious content spawns viable value and ideas inspired for useful purpose.

3. Raw Clay Can Form a Pot

While most articles receive a cursory glance and flippant remarks, there are articles that collect into the stash as ‘Possible Content” and none are completely dismissed as impossible. The value in raw article content may be in a phrase of words, a quote, or an unusual idea - sparked into a flame, or the article itself may become the foundation for an ebook. Ah - the burning ember…

Any writer can create content that inspires an article, because the article may need only a spark to light up an entire forest. The article that inspires an ebook, usually has more substance. Perhaps a Title that rocks the world socially, or intrigues a business mind. An idea conceived for one topic might inspire a completely new direction, given a different field of interest.

4. Tips, Steps, & How To Plot a Resource

Tips to accomplish a task result in steps to make it work. How to accomplish any given task can be broken into specific parts, and the ebook tells the story in resource format.

The idea is driven home in the Introduction of an ebook, formatted into a concept for which motivation and solution is required. The tips and steps to take organize the outline of the book, and design the format, while building substantial value on the Introduction. The ending summary presents the final How To Example and a valuable addition to any library is born.

5. Ebook Delivery includes Viral Marketing and Value

With the creation of an ebook, link inclusion and viral marketing options as well as Value become an issue to consider. Will the book provide actual value to the reader, can you charge a good price for the book? Will the book bring readers back to your site for further information?

The purpose of writing your book should be as clear and concise as the copy that fills each page. Without purpose and value your book has no meaning and won’t sell.

Stamping your signature on the book tells people that you believe in the product you’re selling and gives them an indication of the value you placed in the content. Some ebooks provide excellent material for bringing people to the sign up list, and create a foundation of networking for building those first important steps of a relationship between you and your reader. These ebooks are just as important as the ones that come with a price tag. All should provide viable content with value for the reader, otherwise you’re wasting your time to write the book.

The creation of a concept is often fun and games, for most any writer, but the actual content is researched and proven through experience. All laughter and giggles aside, the value of an ebook should be evident.

Article Marketing Can Boost Your Search Engine Rankings

Marketing on the internet is all about page ranking. The search engines happen to be the first contact point for many of the internet users when they need to look for any thing in particular on the web. The search engines are web sites which offer you a search bar. Whenever you want to look for some information, you can write your keywords in this search bar. The search engines help you in locating the right kind of information for you. The search engine ranking is thus very important. The web promoters and internet marketers pay all of their attention towards improving the page ranking of a web site. If the page ranking is high you will appear on the first result page of the search engine when a related search is done. If this is not the case, you will not be able to get more web traffic through search engines.

Search engine page ranking is very important for the basic survival of any web site. Article marketing can help you in improving your page ranking. The search engine favorites have certain qualities in them. The best quality in them is that those web sites are known and are search engine optimized. As article marketing can help you in creating the links to your web site and in increasing your web site’s popularity, article marketing can help you in improving your overall page ranking. This quality of article marketing brings in the possibility of increase in the number of visitors to your web page. Article marketing can be the most effective if you are careful enough in choosing the article directories. If the article directories you choose are effective ones, you will soon start getting more visitors.

..How to bundle for valuable results without devaluing your product

I almost clicked. Really, I did.

The ad copy was compelling, the content focused. This was exactly what I was looking for. Yes, I was convinced I had found just the eBook I needed to add to my e-library.

Credit card in hand, my mouse cursor hovered over the “order now” button ready to click. The excitement mounted. I had to have it.

Then it happened…a doubt…a discordant second thought that caused me to view the irresistible offer in an entirely different light — so much so that I put away my credit card and clicked the “back” button on my browser instead.

Sale aborted.

What the devil could possibly have persuaded me to turn my cheek the other way so abruptly?

Was the cost too high to justify the purchase?

Not at all. In fact, I would have paid twice that for the information initially presented.

Perhaps there weren’t enough bonuses?

Okay. Now we’re getting warmer. However, it’s not what you might think.

The fact is, this guy had me completely sold until he presented his gazillionth bonus…blah, blah, blah. Yea, this guy really blew it by offering overkill on his bonuses. By the time I got to the umpteenth bonus, I was actually doubting the value of his main product.

By bundling so many bonuses (many of which had been around the Net and back hundreds of times) with his eBook, the author actually succeeded in lowering the perceived value. I began to feel that perhaps the information was not truly worth the money. I mean, why did he have to attach so many bonuses, many of which did not even directly apply to his topic?

Is it possible that bundling bonuses with your offer can actually do more harm than good?

Yes, absolutely.

Does that mean that bundling is not good.

No, absolutely not. In fact, I’m a firm believer in bundling. You simply need to learn how.

So, what’s the key?

How do you know what kinds of bonuses will actually help tip the Doubting Thomas over the line and compel him to click the “order now” button? And how many bonuses will it take?

There’s a very simple 2-question “Bundling Test” you can use to know whether you’re adding value to your products or whether you’re devaluing them.

Bundling Test

1) Do your bonuses complement, as if to complete your product? (you want to do this)

2) Do the kinds and quantity of bonuses overshadow, as if to cloud or drown out your product? (you don’t want to do this)

Once your bonuses pass the Bundling Test, you simply work over your ad copy until it is a fine piece of workmanship.

Now, that makes sense, doesn’t it? Then, why do so many people insist on raping the quality of their product by removing the purity of the offer?

You’ve got to have firmly in your mind what it is you want to sell. Is it your product or is it your bonuses? It should be your product. Your bonuses should then support the sell of your product. It’s as simple as that. Non of this haphazard throwing in bonuses.

May I offer two real-life examples I recently encountered? One made me click away, the other caused me to click the “order now” button. And, yes, I did purchase the product.

I’ve changed the name of the authors in the examples to protect the innocent (or not-so-innocent). For the purpose of comparison, in both examples the authors are selling info products on the topic of e-publishing; nevertheless, what is gleaned from each example applies to any product for any industry.

Example #1: The Slipshod Approach

For purposes of anonymity, let’s call the owner of the first info product “Joe.”

Nothing wrong with the first part of Joe’s ad copy. It was convincing and compelling. Where did his offer fall apart? In his bonuses.

First of all Joe’s bonuses were never mentioned until the very end…well after the first, second or even third “order now” button. It was as if they were thrown in as an after-thought, and a not very-well-thought-out bonus package at that. This positioning brings to mind the shady used car salesman who tries a last-stitch effort with, “Tell ya what I’m gonna do.” Tacky. No thanks.

Secondly, most of Joe’s bonuses were nothing more than eBooks that you can find on any free eBook directory. Oh, and the hundreds of reports with free reprint rights? Worthless! Can you see how quickly Joe’s offer is losing credibility?

Thirdly, Joe offered a total of seven bonuses containing 21 eBooks, 650 reports with reseller rights, a software toolkit, an eBook compilation service, a free email account, and free subscription to an ezine…all this for Joe’s one measly little eBook and, as Joe stated, “to sweeten the deal.” This sweet deal was rapidly leaving a sour taste in my mouth. What was so wrong with his eBook that he had to offer so much junk?

Furthermore, none of the bonuses directly complemented the topic of his own eBook. Why simply throw them in? Customers are looking for a nicely-put-together package, not the slipshod approach.

But, here’s the straw that broke the camel’s back. Joe’s book was priced at $27. How much would you think his bonuses should be worth? An additional $10? $30? A doubled $54? Would you believe over $1,000? Get real! The value of the bonuses was grossly lopsided to the value of his own info product.

Now, what value do you perceive that $27 eBook to have? Most likely, not much value at all by now.

Unbelievable! Yes, quite frankly it was.

You’ve heard the old adage, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” My sentiments exactly. With so many slipshod bonuses thrown in, it was simply too good to be true.

In short, it turned my interest to suspicion.

Let’s put example #1’s offer to the “Bundling Test.” Did Joe’s bonuses complete his product? No. In fact, they took away from it. Did the bonuses drown out his product? Yes, grossly.

Looks like the first example failed miserably. Let’s go on to the next example.

Example #2: The Seamless Approach

The owner of the info product in this second case study presents an excellent example of how bundling and presenting your bonuses should work. In this actual example, let’s call the owner “Paul.”

Paul’s new info product was worth $97. With this he bundled three quality eBooks. Already, he established value in his offer.

Although I already had two of those eBooks, the way Paul seamlessly wove the three bonuses into his product was intriguing. He made me feel as though those three eBooks should not be read as stand-alones, rather that they were integral to his own product.

How did he do this so seamlessly?

First of all, Paul took the time to explain in detail what each bonus eBook contained. He expounded on how each eBook complemented his product, calling the bonuses “the primers” to his course. Not only this, he spoke personally about each author of the bonus eBooks and what they could offer the reader.

There was nothing presented as an after-thought. The bonuses were an important, well-thought-out, integral piece of the puzzle.

Let’s put Paul’s bonuses to the “Bundling Test.” Did his bonuses complement his product? Yes, in fact, they completed it. Did the bonuses drown out his product? No. There were three perfectly thought out bonuses, no more. And, their value to his product was reasonable, giving value to his own product.

Bingo.

Now, I did not put out money for the cheaper $27 product. I did, however for the more expensive one. Why? Paul′s example created value, and much of that value was in how the bonuses were presented. In contrasting the two above you can clearly see why.

And how did Paul end his ad copy? With these words, of course, “No $1658.97 worth of useless bonuses to waste your time. Just the stuff you need to get results.”

Amen, Paul.

That is what you and I ultimately want, after all, isn’t it? Results?

We online entrepreneurs are generally very busy people. Our time is limited. We don’t have time to read every book or eBook that comes our way. Give us quality products only that will give us results.

Folks, there’s a fine line between adding value to your products and devaluing them. Make sure you know which side of the line your bonuses are on.

Use the “Bundling Test” to help you add value to your products. If your bonuses pass the test, your readers will click.

Bundle away…but be sure you bundle for desired results.
