Write a Best Selling E-book in 1 Month

By Stephen Beck

In order to write a best-selling e-book in 1 month, you must first choose an approach. If you are an expert on the topic, then you should be writing that e-book right now! On the other hand, you could also act as a reporter.

But if youre like most of us and youre not sure where to start, then the reporter approach may be the best and quickest approach. The reporter doesnt need to know all the best ways to save money on a wedding, but you know people who do know how to save money.

Once you have identified experts, you can interview them to add valuable information to your book. Perhaps you could interview florists for information on bouquets. A tip - many experts are willing to share their knowledge, especially if you include their contact information in your e-book as a thank you. This is valuable free advertising for your florists, wedding planners, pastors, and more.

Be creative when seeking out experts. Ask florists, pastors, and wedding planners - anyone who might have great information. Each and every expert has at least one tip that could help rocket your e-book to success.

When you record the interview, use equipment that makes CD quality sound. This includes an Olympus DM10 and a lapel mike. You can convert the recordings to mp3 or wave files.

For an interview, bring two lapel mics and a Y-jack (I found mine at Wal-Mart).I use this setup to interview many people, even over the phone. It offers great quality sound at a reasonable price.

I can hear you now - "Why do I need to record interviews?"

Those recordings can give you valuable information for your e-book. Transcribe the interview, or hire someone to transcribe it for you. These recordings can also be used as a bonus to encourage sales of your e-book.

Recordings can help you write your e-book in 1 month. After all, most of your information is based on interviews. Your book almost writes itself! - 26221

3 Golden Keys to Writing for the Internet

By Anthony James Goolsby

A lot of beginning copywriters start out by applying their skills to writing for the Internet. You must keep in mind, however, that there are some key differences between writing for the Internet and how one would work with an offline audience. Keep these 'golden rules' in mind while you write and you will achieve great success in your Internet writing.

Traditional publishing and writing for the Internet differ in three crucial ways:

Audience

Format

Lifespan

You must take each of these differences into consideration when writing for the Internet.

Audience

Any writer must consider their audience. But audience consideration is even more important when writing for the Internet. The basics won't change (like identifying who your primary target audience will be, for example), but there are some huge differences in other areas.

First, in traditional publications your audience is somewhat a given. Once they have actually picked up or purchased a newspaper or magazine they are likely to at least give it a few pages before setting it aside. However, remember when writing for the Internet your audience can move on from your words with one click of the mouse. You need to be highly focused and on target all the time. You can't take much time for introductions, slow buildup or indirect discussions. If you, the writer, do not seem to be delivering the goods then the reader will simply move on and fast. This does not mean you need to cater to the lowest denominator " please do not treat your readers as stupid " but it does mean that you need to know your audience well and how to respond to that audience's needs and desires.

Format

A second point to consider when writing for the Internet is the fact that some online readers simply skim and don't read every word. Quickly scanning your copy, they will only commit to reading the entire thing if you catch their attention. Therefore you must be concise and clear in your writing. Punchy headlines, accurate subheadings, and solid introductions and conclusions are important to use with "skimmers."

A big mistake I see in new writers is trying to look like an offline magazine article or mimic traditional print documents. There are many major differences. Writing for the Internet, by nature of the way the reader looks at a screen as opposed to physical print, requires some different strategies. One of the most important is the entry point. A search engine may deliver readers to some point in the middle or end of your document. If you have written coherent and cohesive content, then those readers may well move back to the beginning to read properly. In response to this, and the scanning readers mentioned earlier, it is best to break longer pieces into several stand-alone sections that can work together as a whole, or even as separate documents if approached in that manner. (A good example of this is how I broke this article into individual stand-alone segments.)

Lifespan

Finally, an important difference between traditional publications and writing for the Internet is lifespan. While the apparent lifespan of many electronic documents appears to be short-lived, this is simply not true. In fact, I would argue the exact opposite is more the reality. Newspaper and magazine articles in print are only current for a day, week or the month of their publication, but then are archived on the Internet where they may frequently reside for years. So while it is important as a writer to be fresh and current, also keep in mind that your reader may access your words at some undetermined point in the future. (In other words, try not to be too topical. You may severely date your article in the process.)

Keep in mind the 3 Golden Keys. By concentrating on audience, format, and lifespan when writing for the Internet, you will achieve great success. - 26221

New ITIL Training Scheme - Already in Trouble?

By William A Edwards MBCS, BA(Hons)

It is now two years since the OGC launched ITIL (R) version 3; its best practice guidance for IT Service Management. Since the launch, the administrators of the examination scheme (APMG) have been busy getting the new qualifications scheme, leading to the ITIL Expert qualification, into shape.

However, perhaps this new qualification scheme could - before it has really got going properly - already be due for a review according to the most recent figures for ITIL training. They show a high number of candidates taking version 3 foundation level training, but a very low take-up for the subsequent capabilities and lifecycle training courses.

It is not really that surprising when you come to think about it because to qualify for the new ITIL Expert certificate, candidates now need to complete a very challenging curriculum of modular courses. Whereas the old V2 Service Sanager qualification took only 13 days, the new replacement qualification takes from 22 to 27 days to complete.

The new scheme, with its existing three levels of training - and a future fourth level planned - may be good for examination institutes and training providers, but is it really what the market wants? Well, at present, people seem to be voting with their feet, so to speak, by simply not attending the intermediate courses.

Also, whilst the old V2 qualifications scheme is still running, it makes little sense for people to pursue the new route to the professional qualification when you can also get it through the V2 route simply by doing a bridging course at the end. And this track is not only cheaper, but quicker and more convenient for most people.

It is, in my opinion, time for APMG to be decisive and act immediately to support the V3 qualifications scheme. It is finally time to axe the old V2 qualifications and really get behind the new scheme. - 26221

Business Cards, Yellow Page Ads, And Val-Pak Coupons: What You Need To Know About Them

By Sven Makowal

The business person today is faced with many decisions when it comes to marketing and advertising. How to get started and what media to use in your marketing campaigns are just a couple of the challenges you are forced to meet. Reality is that all of the options available will work to one degree or another. The key to your success, no matter what medium you select, is to differentiate yourself in a manner that appeals to your potential prospect. When you understand this, you can be successful regardless of your choice.

More often than not, people follow the generally accepted trends and styles. This happens with the clothes we wear (anyone remember Beatle Mania?), the beer we drink (what age are you?) and the way we advertise in say, the Yellow Pages. Try scanning the Yellow Pages and you will see numerous pages of similar looking business card layouts and wording. What happens is we start to subconsciously purge the look-a-likes and carry on until we see something that is out of the ordinary.

Some of the most interesting, and different, ads that I have seen appear as a public service announcement. They have headlines like: Warning! Don't Even Think of Using a Travel Agent Before Calling FREE Traveler Awareness Hotline! Copy below this ad would offer free advice on how to book the best rate for your next trip. I was scanning the travel section because I was obviously interested in taking a trip and this advertisement, because it was different, caught my eye. To make it really successful it also had an 800 number at the bottom to call for a Free Report. There was no ad sponsor so the whole presentation was non-threatening. I was given a safe way to get information I wanted without having to speak directly to a Travel Agent whose job it is to sell me.

This same method can be used regardless of the medium you select for your advertising. It can be Yellow Pages, Business Cards and Val-Pak Coupons. The key is to use the criteria that make it different, interesting and non-threatening. Even though the principles are basic there is a definite knack to this type of marketing.

There is a company that, over the last 12 years, has developed automated systems that allow business people to incorporate any type of marketing advertising into an overall Marketing Strategy. That company is Automated Marketing Solutions or AMS. They differentiate themselves by not only providing marketing solutions, but by educating their consumers on the proper techniques to use, including how to create the right message depending on the medium being used. It doesn't stop there. AMS provides the capability for a company to place their ENTIRE Marketing Program on Auto-pilot. Once a business marketing program (including voice messages, e-mails, faxes and other broadcast and mail out collateral) is compiled and sequenced, their Lead Management System or LMS provides the unique ability to maintain and control that program without any further human input.

The benefits to this system are significant time savings on what would otherwise be labor intensive tasks and consistency in marketing messages. It also means that businesses never need worry about losing customers who misinterpreted your lack of contact for apathy. If you would like to hear more about Direct Response Marketing and how it can benefit your business, visit Automated Marketing Solutions today. You will be surprised at how quickly and economically you can implement and start benefiting from AMS tested and proven technology and experience. - 26221

Finding The Correct Customers to Grow Your Business

By Leigh-Ann Lemire

You may have heard about locating the correct niche or target for your business or how marketing to the correct public will make your business grow.

The instructions on how to research and find your niche come in many forms such as how-to's, guides and advice columns. Entire websites and blogs have been started that are completely dedicated to speaking about the subject of niches. When you search on Amazon for books on the subject you will find over 100,000 books to select from. Searching on Google for information on the subject of niches will give you 32,000,000+ selections.

Here's a different method on the matter of niche marketing that you might like alot. How would you like it if people found you instead of you attempting to chase the customers down?

It can really happen like this! It's a simple method that goes along with the reason that the internet was created which is to supply information. If you supply fresh content in large quantities, your potential clients will find your information and go to your site to get more information.

Getting your name out there on the internet on a consistent basis while supplying good, informative information is the key to your success. Press releases, blog posts and articles are the main items to focus on.

Spend your marketing time wisely by talking about the subject that you know the most about - your company. Adding the information online wherever you can is what is going to create a stable and steady stream of interested public to your site.

Other internet marketing methods may come and go. One day you may be using a system that is accepted by the search engines and the next day, the search engines get re-tuned and don't like that method anymore which leaves you searching for another solution.

Rather than racing to find another method to market or try to figure out something to do, use your time wisely by creating a solid foundation online based upon information. Building your business in this manner creates traffic to your site today and it continues because the information is online for years. - 26221

How to Record Professional Voiceovers

By Julia Pickett

You've found your voiceover talent and are ready to start producing your script, and the next step will be to create a professional recording. You may be working with a videographer or production team to create your voiceover script, but there are also several computer software programs and tools available to help you create the entire project from start to finish on your own.

There is a significant amount of preparation required to ensure that the environment in which you record the voice over will help you create a quality piece. Here are some essential tips when preparing the room for your voiceover recording:

1. Check all your equipment. Booking the voiceover talent for the project and then wasting several hours testing equipment will cost you. Jay Rose, the author of the book "Producing Great Sound for Digital Video" suggests that you make sure you get the right kind of equipment and test it well before production day. Even testing it a few hours before production time can reduce unforeseen delays.

2. Make sure the room does not create echoes. The only way you'll know if the room is creating an 'echoing' effect is when you turn on the microphone and shut all the doors and windows. Do some test recordings with all of your equipment to reduce the risk of the echo effect.

3. Use background music if necessary. A professionally done recording must not contain any white noise. This is specially true for a narration wherein the viewer must sense that the narrator is directly in front and having a conversation with them. If the white noise goes beyond an acceptable level, you should definitely think about adding a background music.

4. Search for your room's recording sweet spot. Find the one position of your microphone in the room that will produce the best recording. There's no actual system for doing this and you might spend some time in moving your mic around the room. Just remember that you don't ever want to produce an empty or strained sounding record ever.

5. Don't stress on ambient noises. A lot of things produce ambient noises and most them are out of our control. Ambient noises, e.g. outside traffic and chatter, don't always go through your microphone. However, consider having a high-pass filter on your mic for a cleaner recording when these noises are gravely affecting your project.

6. Switch off fans and blowers. Fans on computers, air-cons and other blower devices can affect the air atmosphere of your recording room as they produce turbulence. This is more evident in a small room than a large one. The solution to this is to switch of these equipment while doing a recording. You can turn them on in between segments.

Also monitor always the recording session in real-time using your headphones. Utilize playback functions in a seperate room to ensure that all is in order. Doing this will allow you to solve problems real-time and spare you doing retakes. - 26221

Transaction Funding - What It Is And How To Find It

By Scott Randolph

What exactly is short sale transaction funding and is it something you could take advantage of right now? As times in the real estate market change more people are becoming interested in this aspect of the business. This type of funding is usually used by investors (experienced and new) who want to purchase real estate outright for a discounted rate and the flip it for a profit.

Flipping real estate has become a glamorized process through television shows and media reports that show wealthy investors flipping houses and making a ton of money. In real life, it isn't so glamorous but can be quite profitable if you know how to do it.

The definition of a short sale is when a home is about to be lost through foreclosure and a deal is struck for an investor to purchase the home. The lender and the homeowner have to all agree on the terms of the sale and the lender often walks out of the deal with less than they are actually owed on the loan.

Usually, an investor will offer to pay a nice amount of money upfront so that the bank recoups some of its money and the homeowner is off the hook and avoids foreclosure. Everyone is short changed a little, but the investor walks away with a great deal.

Of course, the investor will get their investment back as they resell the home but in many cases they will have to find a source of funding to cover the price of the home up front. Private lenders often fill that void.

It used to be that finding private lenders willing to work in this capacity was hard to find unless you knew someone already in the business. Today, it is easier to find short sale transaction funding sources since more lenders are making themselves available online to more people. If you are interested in trying your hand at flipping property or even just want to snag up a short sale property to live in yourself, the internet is your primary source for the best lending opportunities. - 26221

Marketing Techniques/Tips: Stick To The Basics

By Mark Scheffer

Effective marketing is critical to the success of any business. No matter how wonderful the product or service is if people don't know about it, sales will be dismal. There are many different marketing techniques/tips that can be used, but the concept of all of them are the same; reach as many people as possible and convince them to buy what is offered.

Over the years marketing has become more complex than ever, but with the many advertising mediums available it is now much easier to reach huge numbers of prospective customers. By implementing some effective marketing techniques/tips, including some that are very basic, business owners can run very profitable campaigns.

When preparing an advertising campaign it is critical that you know your audience. Determine who would be interested in your product or service and take the time to completely understand their needs. Running a campaign that targets the right group of people will be very likely to generate a successful return.

One of the most important marketing techniques is to work with other people. Some very creative ideas are born from brainstorming with others. While you may have a good idea to begin with, it can turn into a great campaign with the help of other creative people.

Always remain focused on the strategy as it is the driving force of successful marketing promotions. Testing has shown that the strategy is usually the most important criterion for a campaign that converts to sales. Never focus solely on price. The idea is to create a strategy that has so much value that the price is of little significance. Price wars between marketers will lead to lower profitability for all parties and could result in a company's downfall.

Once a campaign is started it is critical to do some split testing. The most common split test is to simultaneously test two different versions of an ad. It doesn't matter if you are using a post card, email, or a webpage; create two versions and determine which one produces the best results. Split testing is absolutely essential in order to improve a campaign's performance.

For long term success, create value for your customers after the sale. Spend as much time and energy after the sale as you do before the sale and you will build lasting relationships with your clients. It takes a great deal of effort to get a new customer, so it makes sense to do everything in your power to keep them. Keep in contact with them and learn what their needs are. Once you know more about your customers you can offer products and services that will fit their needs.

If you want to find greater success in your business, implement these very basic and proven marketing techniques/tips. These techniques are being used by successful marketers on a regular basis, adding to the success of businesses everywhere. - 26221

How You Can Benefit From Internet Drop Ship Directories?

By Jessica Clark

The simplest way to do drop ship through the Net is by taking a methodical and step-wise approach for analysis and planning for all the available options.

The most worrying part of a retail business is the upkeep of inventories, but an e-retailer is free from all these worries, because he/she does not have to maintain inventories or stocks. This ensures that quality products are offered to the purchaser in a timely manner; an ideal situation for any net drop ship business.

Before you get into drop shipping, you should learn what products you want to sell and what segment of the market you want to target with your internet business. This is going to be based on understanding your market, what is selling the most and who sells it. In addition, identify if there are any market wishes that are not met and how they can be capitalized on.

It is very important to fulfill any legal requirements before engaging yourself in an internet drop ship business. This will help you to avoid any problems in the future. You can start by building a website, which will serve as your online store.

Plus, when you achieve success in building a positive reputation with a social media website, the internet site bosses will direct users on your site, so helping you to generate more traffic, and benefiting your net drop ship business.

After this, you've got to search and choose the most acceptable items, which sell the most. For this matter, you need to search for the most appropriate drop shippers, which are reliable and known for their timely delivery. Many drop shipping directories claim to have only the best source for internet drop ship businesses; but in truth, a lot of them compiled the lists without any background information checked.

A drop shipping directory internet site is imperative to carryout the internet drop ship business. Aside from the listings of drop shippers, it also provides necessary instructional services, which are vital for understanding the jargon of drop shipping. A bunch of experts is hired by a directory web site, which functions to scrutinize and confirm each and each shipper, before adding him in the list.

This allows smooth working of a drop shipping business, and retailer gets time for carrying out his/her promotional efforts, effectively. , it is crucial that you choose a drop shipper that suits your business needs and requirements, because purchasers pay you money to have goods shipped to them, promptly.

After you put in sufficient effort and time in choosing the right source, you will not have to worry about anything and only concentrate on the success of your business. - 26221

The Versatile Dependable, Secure And Reliable Debit Card - And Why You Need One.

By Klaus Badelt

Sure, a debit card is great for obtaining cash from an ATM machine or your local bank branch. They provide a safe and secure way to store, save and spend money without carrying a wad load of cash around with you. This is especially convenient if you are out on the town or if you simply do not feel comfortable with your ability NOT to lose (or spend) a lot of money. A debit card can limit your spending and pocket your savings in a handy little account that only you can access. Its perfect.

Anything could happen when you travel across the world- you could lose your passport (hey, it happens!); you could lose your plane ticket home (yes, that happens too); or you could lose your sense of budgeting and simply spend your last 100$ on a big night at the pub. Whatever the reason, with a debit card, you can easily receive money from home.

Mom can deposit money at your local bank branch and that will instantly be sent to your bank account. Christmas money, birthday money, I miss you Son money and any other occasional deposits are always appreciated when traveling overseas. Furthermore, when you send money through a debit card, it is also always free and almost instant.

There are so many things that can go wrong overseas. You could get sick; you could break a bone; you could lose your wallet (or your passport); you could get on the wrong train and end up way off course.

Secondly, a debit card can be a life saver for those overseas. Most debit cards are accepted overseas and you can take out money from any ATM machine.

Its nice to know that, with a debit card, Mom or Dad can send money directly to your account from home and you will almost instantly receive it in your bank account. You can simply visit an ATM machine in London, Greece, Germany, Brazil, Thailand or anywhere else your travels take you without having to worry about check clearance, bank hours or 5 day processing times.

Another way debit cards can save the day is when you need to send money back home. If you are working overseas as a foreign worker, you can transfer money back home through an international money transfer for a fraction of the cost of a money order and a fraction of the time as well. International money transfers through a debit card can be done online or in person and are easy to do.

So, if you are planning a trip overseas, make sure you pack your passport, your camera, and, of course, your debit card. Leave your inhibitions at home and get ready for the trip of your life. Just dont forget your debit card. And, dont forget to call home once and a while! - 26221

Janitor Service: Marketing Basics

By Spencer I Arnold

The more creative you are with your marketing for your small business, the further you can stretch your advertising budget. For a lot of small businesses, this can mean the difference between success and failure. If you are on a shoe-string start-up, you have to be even more creative.

Even though most of us feel uncomfortable doing it, the truth is that networking works. You should always work to develop your own personal business networks with your friends, associates, and clients. When you are starting, it may also help to join in an existing business network. Visit several business networking groups before choosing one that website that fits your needs. If you are friendly and enjoy helping other people, you may be surprised by how much a business networking group can help you.

What better than free? Giving something away for free is a marketing strategy that is almost guaranteed to generate a higher response rate. In order for this strategy to work, you should focus on customer retention and making money off of your clients in the long term. A successful burrito company found that printing a coupon for a free burrito attracted 10 times as many new customers as their previous coupon. Yes they were losing a little money every time someone redeem a coupon, but they retained and grew their business at a faster rate and that more than compensated for it. With a janitorial service business their are 100s of different ways to offer free services. Two of these include a free cleaning evaluation or $100 off the the first contract signed.

Online advertising is also a very effective way to create new business. Although the internet has been around for more than 13 years, it has only recently become a major player. The best part about it is that online advertising can be an affordable way to attract residual business without paying residual advertising costs. Once you get ranked for a particular keyword like "Portland Janitorial Service", there is a good chance you can keep making money off of the search traffic for a long time. At the very least, you should get ranked on Google maps for free and get a couple of customers to write reviews. I have found this to be very effective since businesses with customer reviews are ranked first.

Quantify the value of each lead, especially with paid advertising. It is very important to know if your advertising works. If it doesn't pull the plug and try something else. If a new add costs $200 a month and generates 4 leads, this type of advertising costs $50 a lead. Conversions are what you are really shooting for, but taking leads is a good way to know quicker whether or not a particular method will work.

A satisfied customer is one who will refer you to their friends and neighbors. Treat your customers as well as you can and ask for referrals often. If you have loyal customers you can survive tough economic times that your competitors may not be able. - 26221
