Other articles on the InfoProfitz blog at Info Profitz can help you turn words into wealth through email marketing, blogging and self publishing. How to write a book review that brings in more sales? A great review can sell books and ebooks by the dozen even hundreds of copies. As a society rushed for time, we rely heavily on social proof to decide upon things to do, buy, visit, eat, enjoy. Ebook reviews help hesitant prospects who are intrigued by a book or title in making a buying decision. But there s an art about how to write a book review in a way that sells more ebooks. If a book review sounds too much like a pitch , you ll turn readers off. It s easier than one might think to spot a pitch or promotion that masquerades as an impartial book review. Before deciding about how to write a book review that sells ebooks, take a moment to think over these points. Be Honest If you tell a lie in your book review, it will come back to bite you! Even if you know how to write a book review t

Why Starting A Blog Is Vital For Book Authors


Other articles on the InfoProfitz blog at Info Profitz can help you turn words into wealth through email marketing, blogging and self publishing. Starting a blog is simple and easy. Yet I’m amazed at how many authors still don’t have blogs. And when they do, how rarely they interact with their audience. What’s the big deal about authors starting a blog? Well, to the layperson, it’s a huge kick to be able to communicate with a well-known author, even one who has written a best-seller. To the author, it is a never before available opportunity to engage in a dialog with the grassroots reader of his work, to get insight and ideas and feedback that can only help in structuring future work. There are a few best-selling authors I am able to communicate with reliably. Among them are Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki and Tim Ferriss. But even in these cases, not through their blog. And that’s strange – because starting a blog is such an easy and convenient way of asynchronous two-way commun

Niche Digital Marketing – Who Benefits From What You Know?


Other articles on the InfoProfitz blog at Info Profitz can help you turn words into wealth through email marketing, blogging and self publishing. Digital marketing is really simple.  But if you re an infopreneur who plans to launch a successful, profitable, thriving business, then you must start off by asking some hard questions and finding the right answers for your digital marketing strategy before taking the next step. Often what seems like a great idea is shot down by preliminary market research. And that s a good thing. Because the alternative is to plunge ahead into the project, blindly, and discover many weeks or months later that all your digital marketing efforts have been in vain. So ask yourself the right questions to formulate your digital marketing strategy. Find the answers or ask someone who might know. Time and money spent on the right research will save many times more in the long run. * Who needs to know what you already do? The simple answer to this all-important d

Newsletter Templates To Create Ezines Quickly & Easily


Other articles on the InfoProfitz blog at Info Profitz can help you turn words into wealth through email marketing, blogging and self publishing. Newsletter templates have grown in popularity to become critical marketing tools for small businesses.  Communication with your prospects and clients is one of the essential functions of your small home business.

Writing Contests Motivate Affiliates To Make More Sales


Other articles on the InfoProfitz blog at Info Profitz can help you turn words into wealth through email marketing, blogging and self publishing. Writing contests are excellent for activating dormant affiliates and boosting their selling efforts. While affiliate programs are a good way to get your business to grow quickly, it is also an unfortunate reality that most of your affiliates will never make any sales. Only about 5% of your affiliates will be top performers even though many more have the skills and assets needed to succeed. By conducting writing contests that tie in with your theme and niche, you can motivate some of these affiliates and hugely improve these figures by making it easy for even novices to gain experience as affiliates and promote your products effectively. You can do this by holding writing contests, motivating and training them in powerful affiliate marketing techniques and offering incentives for success.

Listserv Marketing Power


Other articles on the InfoProfitz blog at Info Profitz can help you turn words into wealth through email marketing, blogging and self publishing. Listserv marketing power is vastly underestimated.  Harnessing the reach and influence of ezines is a great way to promote your product or service online. A listserv helps distribute your email newsletter to dozens, hundreds or even thousands of subscribers. Hopefully, you re already convinced about the marketing potential of publishing your own email newsletter using a listserv, and are all fired up and excited to get started or maybe you re even planning out the content of your first email newsletter issue. But wait a minute. Just any old ezine distributed over a listserv won t do. To get the maximum effect from your ezine, you have to do it differently from the crowd. Subtle changes will make the difference between an ezine that has hundreds or even thousands of readers OR NOT! Understand Listserv Marketing On one hand, ezine publishing

Creative Writing : How To Easily Make Your Own Content


Other articles on the InfoProfitz blog at Info Profitz can help you turn words into wealth through email marketing, blogging and self publishing. Creative writing is a valuable skill. Generating your own content for a website or information product is NOT easy. Yet as a content marketer, blogger or book author, you will often be called upon to come up with valuable information for your audience.

Social Marketing 10 Minute Rule


Other articles on the InfoProfitz blog at Info Profitz can help you turn words into wealth through email marketing, blogging and self publishing. Social marketing can be a time-sucking vampire if you let things get out of hand! Some months back, I stopped posting on my favorite online forum. One of the reasons was that my posts were being deleted at random.  It was particularly frustrating especially when some of the posts took me upto 30 minutes to draft. So I started posting them to this blog instead. It saved me over 2 hours every week as well as the heartache and annoyance associated with having my thoughts stifled and fettered. With a recent shift in moderation style, I m cautiously re-visiting that forum again but with my new Social Marketing 10 Minute Rule firmly in mind. My posts are no longer the 500 word extravagances they once used to be. Instead, my social marketing strategy dictates that they are 50 words often much less. If they get deleted, I don t lose much. Also, I c

Where’s YOUR Fire?


When I built my first website in 1995 on Geocities, it was about a subject I was passionate. Congenital heart defects. In a month, on average, the site had 8 visitors. I didn t care. Mine was a labor of love. A talent scout for About.com (then The Mining Company) found me, invited me to write for About.com s heart disease section, and I was soon making what seemed like a royal income for a post-grad in India. It was a similar story with blogging. Remarkably Purple Spots was born in June 2003. This is how I answered the question: Why this blog? Every day, several remarkable things cross my desk, my mind and my computer screen. Hilariously funny things. Shockingly outrageous ones. Wildly profitable stuff. Or just simply curious. I m tempted to write to you about them because I know you ll love it. But it s too much WORK. That s why you have Remarkably Purple Spots It was and still is a hodge-podge of things I find interesting. The blog has raised a lot in donations for congenital heart
