Make Your Ebook Sell Like Crazy Resale Rights Ebook

Ebook Sample Content Preview:

Like most modern writers with an ebook out there to sell, one of the first things I did upon its ePublication was to spend an entire weekend hunkered down over my computer and throwing up a Web site! Okay, it’s not the greatest site in the world, but it’s not the worst either. It contains free samples from my ebook, Freedom to Freelance, links to all of my Web published articles, great graphics a la the cover of my ebook and several of The Buzz On books I’ve written or edited, and all in three, easy-to-click pages.

So why isn’t anybody coming?!? After all, my Web site isn’t exactly setting the cyber world on fire. In fact, I’m lucky if I get over twenty visitors a week! So how have I sold ANY copies of my ebook at all, let alone the numerous copies that make my quarterly royalty checks such a pleasant cyber surprise? Simple: I write!

Write On!

As an ebook author, you’ve got the skills for your very own marketing campaign handy: your creative writing talent. Whether your ebook is about gardening or gothic ghost stories, you’ve got enough talent and chutzpah to have written the book, searched out an ePublisher, and gotten your creation out there on the Web and ready to be downloaded by one and all. So keep doing what you do best and write some more!

Take time off from that new gardening guide or gothic novel and spend an afternoon writing an article about your favorite topic instead. A 700-word treatise on “how to sprinkle” or a 1,000 word vampire story will seem like child’s play after writing an entire ebook, and as a result you’ll have a very handy marketing tool: a brand new, original article/story to submit.

Cyber Submissions

Take advantage of the plethora of Web sites, ‘zines and e-mail newsletters out there and submit your brand new article accordingly. Run an Internet search on “gardening” or “gothic” and bookmark those sites that accept submissions from frantic freelancers like yourself.

Many of these sites conveniently allow, and indeed prefer, you to submit your article electronically. Take advantage of this fact by creating a concise query letter and then including your story underneath it in the body of the e-mail, never as an attachment. Format your submission for convenient e-mail reading by losing all of your paragraph indents and placing a single space between each paragraph instead. (Your future editor’s eyes will thank you!)
