Revised: Promote your Coaching or Speaking Business Through eBooks
Judy Cullins © 2003 All Rights Reserved.
In these uncertain times when we all would like to feel safe, and
when we don't really want to travel so much for business, we
need to look to the Online Marketing Machine of eBooks.
Your audience today is Internet savvy. They love the Web, surf
it regularly and are looking for specific information. You
have that expertise already and can easily put it into a short
book, anywhere from 10-25 pages. You can give it away as
promotion, or you can sell it for anywhere from $5.95 to
$19.95.
Send your eBook to meeting planners and bureaus to
promote your speaking business.It's the best business card
because you can expand your benefits, and give a sample of
your style. eBooks add value to your talks, and are so easy to
distribute.
Business audiences want concise, easy-to-read eBooks on
subjects from personal growth to business how-to's. They are
willing to read them, pass them along to their associates and
friends.
When you include your list of other books, services, and
testimonials at the end of each book, you have a way for anyone
who receives your book to pass the word along. This free viral
marketing expands just like a virus, and key people will contact
you because of your quality, unique information.
At the end of each product include your other products and talks
to stimulate new sales. Build your reputation as an expert by
providing your email and Web address so readers can get back
to you, possibly to book another talk.
Why? Because business owners like yourself want free material
to post on their sites and in their ezines.
What it Takes to Build your eBook
Fact: The "Big Lie" myths still survive--that print books are the
only books to bring author credibility, that eBooks are not great
sellers, and that you have to read your eBook on your computer
screen or gadget..
People love eBooks. They don't need a fancy Palm Pilot to read
them on. They don't need to read on the screen. Everyone can
open and print your eBook or parts of it through attachment or
by Portable Document Format (PDF).
Like me, you can advise your customers to start with a certain
chapter to make it easy for them. In "Write Your eBook or
Other Short Book--Fast!" just read Chapter Three with the
essential "Hot-Selling Points" and Chapter Seven with the "Fast-
Forward Writing Formula" to get your chapter-writing going
fast. These foundation formulas help you write a focused,
organized, compelling book with 1/2 the edits.
Hardly anyone wants to read a long book any more.People want
easy-to-read, concise and compelling short books. Look at
Anna Quinlin whose book of under 3000 words became
a best-seller.
Ebooks serve speakers and coaches now. They are the wave of
the future top. Anyone, even those who think they can't write,
can create a quality eBook in less than a month. With a little help
from a book coach and editor, you can learn the three or four
best ways to write and distribute your eBook for your Online
Promotion and your millions of business people who want and
need your unique information.
If you are a speaker, you already have several talks you can
give. From these, write short chapters or sections, each
answering a question your audience has. What problem do they
need solved? Your eBook gives them the answers--short and
sweet.
Expand your talk or just take the how-to's and stories to write
your first short eBook. If you already have a print book, think
about a longer chapter transformed into a new shorter eBook.
Instead of 200 pages, think 10-25 pages.Instead of 15 chapters,
think of 3-5 sections. Instead of long stories, think of tips.
Instead of one book, think series. You will never run out of
material!
Your eBooks can be part of your "Big Three" marketing
machine: Special Report, Article, and eBook.
From your eBook you can create a shorter eProduct known as
the Special Report. You can give these away as a free bonus
with your talks, your longer books or teleclasses. Or, you can
charge $4.95-$8.95 for them.They pull other sales because
people appreciate your information.
You can also write or use short articles already in your files to
promote your other products and service. Once you subscribe to
opt-in ezines where others need your content, you can then
submit to reach over 500,000 each day.
At the end of each product include all of your promotion
information, your list of other products, your announcement
about your speaking or coaching services, your one-page for
speaking, and an order page with instructions that make it easy
to "buy."
Attract And Keep Long-Term Clients
Using this trio, you will attract many more people to your Web
site, to your talks, seminars and teleclasses. You will attract new
clients as well as new subscribers to your ezine.
In the long run, you will create a business easy and fun to
operate. You'll create even more client loyalty and trust while
building your reputation. And you create an ongoing, lifelong
income--enough to keep you sound and secure in any economic
situation.
