Secret Ebook Tips & Free E-book Download
Secret Ebook Writing Tips & Free E-book Download
Considering writing an ebook…consider this…
When you are writing about anything, passion shines through!
I recall reading an Ebook by Randy Smith about Writing Sales Pages, and the passion in his writing literally grabbed me by the neck and made me want to read more!
Seriously, Randy gives away some super tips for writing well, you can even see my own personal testimonial on the sales page, but thankfully my “ugly mug” never made it this time, anyway see Randy’s guide here:
Randy Smith – Sales Letter Copy ABC
ok back to ebook writing…
Think about it, remember at school when you were forced to write essays, and the subject did not interest you in slightest?
You had to practically force yourself to write, counting the words, hoping to have reached the required amount.
But…
When you write about something you are passionate about, a niche or subject that truly interests you, the creative juices start flowing and the writing is so much easier!
So if you are going to write your own ebook, choose a subject that:
You are passionate about
You are interested in
You know a lot about!
It will make writing your ebook so much easier, trust me!
Ok now you have a subject or topic in mind, you need to know what your niche market NEED!
So you have to find out:
What problems your market have
What solutions they are looking for
What they are willing to pay for!
You are going to provide them with the information they will be falling over themselves to pay you money for!
How can you find out what your niche market want?
Easy!
Visit related forums!
Simly search Google, Yahoo or MSN for “Your Subject” Forum.
Next, look at the posts, see what the members are looking for, what advice are they asking for, it really is that simple!
Once you have a list of questions, compile the answers into an ebook then you can:
Give forum members a free copy, of course, the free copy would contain relevant affiliate links to make you money on the back end!
Or sell the ebook to them!
If you do not research your “niche” you will end up writing, creating and trying to sell an ebook that no one wants to buy!
So all your hard work has been for nothing!
RESEARCH…RESEARCH…AND MORE RESEARCH IS THE KEY!
Ok, so if you have an ebook subject in mind, don’t just plough ahead and write the ebook, it takes much more thought than that!
We are going to think 2 steps ahead.
After the reader has finished your ebook, what will they look for next…
YOU ARE GOING TO PROVIDE IT ON A PLATE!
Let’s say a lady buys an ebook “How To Get Pregnant”, what might she want next?
Assuming she gets pregnant…
Guide To The Delivery Room
Breastfeeding Guide
Baby Names Ebook
Your New Baby’s 1st Year
Toddler Eating Guide
The list is endless as you can see!
If you can put yourself in the reader’s shoes…
Imagine what stage or step they require next…
Then you can ensure your first ebook leads to ebook no2…
Ebook No2 leads to Ebook no3 and so on!
I keep saying selling ebooks is not ROCKET SCIENCE and it isn’t!
Of course, you don’t have to write all the follow up ebooks there are thousands already written with Master Resell Rights!
Ok, so what next, you have your topic, you have your follow up sales so…
Get your ebook “out there”…
I know you will never feel your ebook is good enough or ready for release!
I felt the same, total fear of failure, bad feedback, but get your ebook written and out there, people will soon let you know what they think!
Then you can amend your ebook!
Give away some free copies and ask other peoples opinion, then “tweak” your ebook to perfection!
Ok, the ebook is written and “tweaked”
Now you need to market it…
You have to find out where you target “niche” hang out, so back to the forums again!
Find similar content websites, and contact the owners, ask them to promote your ebook!
Ok, so they may not promote it for free, so tell them you will give their site a free link inside your ebook, or set up an affilate program and give them a commission for selling your ebook.
Write articles related to your ebook content and post them on popular article directories.
Write smaller e-reports, link to your main ebook from them, and sell them on eBay!
Allow your ebook to have branded links inside it!
Again, the possibilities are unlimited!
Remember, once you have written your ebook, the hard work isn’t over, it has just started!

thanks for the email and free ebook. I am so busy I don’t even have time to read all the good info you send….maybe I’m hoping it’ll just jump into my brain! I will keep it on my to do list and hopefully, get to read all of it soon.
The info about writing my own ebook makes me think it’d be easier to sell ebooks already available rather than write my own.
thanks!
Hi Sally. Just a note to say thank you for the ebook! I cheerfully read all of your email so I know you are snowed in and have too much to do!

Thanks for putting this on your blog. It answers some questions I had about the process you need to take to get your product out there. I’m just getting started myself and appreciate your emails and your blog. The free downloads don’t hurt either. Thanks so much.
Michael
I enjoy your Comments and Newsletter very much
Keep up the Great Work
Jim
Thanks Sally, this one is a great help to me!!!
Like the blog Sally, keep up the good work. If I ever get through reading all your free stuff I might even write my own e-book.
Looking good, babe!

Hi Sally, great looking site, in fact really impressive!!
Reading this article of yours along with all your other informative information I have read, really gives my that extra inspiration and push that I need to finish writing the 6 eBooks that I have started but not finished.
I know, the trick is to finish one project at a time, but I am a very impatient person who needs to change the way she works:)
Once again thanks for all your valuable information.
To anyone who has not signed up with Sally, you are loosing out on some great information, BIG TIME!
Take care and stay well.
Regards
Val
Sally, thanks for the free ebook – and very generous of you to include Resell Rights. As always, this ebook contains good helpful and original information without a lot of bumph. Yes, I always read your emails, you are one of the very few that I find genuinely helpful, and not just trying to separate me from my money. Frankly, I think many of your emails and blog posts should themselves be collected into an ebook. Thanks again.
Changed your picture

Next thing you know, Mikey will be posing in his thong.
Great Stuff as Usual!!

Sally
Ah….I signed up for the ebook but where is it? There is no download link in the email after verifying my subscription and no download link on the thankyou page either…
Hi Sally!
Thanks so much for the email notifying me of your new blog, and the free ebook. I enjoy your great content and info. Now it’s time for me to get moving and write my own!
Guess from the looks of the comments, you were slightly off when referring to your readers in the email as quiet and shy. Seems like we’re getting your new blog lit up in a hurry!
Cheers!
Paul
This is my first trip to your blog. I want to commend you on a great post. I’ll be back again for sure. I’m off to get my freebie now to see if that’s as good and informative as the post was.
CYA,

Sally,
I read everyone of your emails and find all of them interesting. This latest blog post was an eye opener for me. I appreciate the time you put forth to help others.
As soon as I take the California Bar in February I will be writing my first e-book and finishing my site ebayandbeyond.com
Jim
Hello Sally,
Love the blog…will go over and download you ebook…sounds like it needs to be read.
A little comment about writing about something we are passionate about…
I recently read an article where the advise (if one wants to earn an income from one’s ebook ) is to write about a subject that is either hot news or popular so people will actually buy your book.
Sounds logical…your comment appreciated.
Have fun
Bryan

Dick… Hmmm really wanted to say something funny here but… I guess you are the laziest dick online haha, sorry x
I’ve been thinking about writing an ebook, but really wasn’t sure just how to go about it. So with the guide lines that you have given me in your article I know where to start. Thank you for the information.
Diana
Very good eBook, Sally. Thanks!
Sally,
I am a novice in E-Book writing. I very much appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and experience. I have so many ideas on subjects for E-Books. At times when I am writing, I come up with additional ideas.
I want to thank you again and hope to share with you down the road some E-Books that I have drafted or published
Best Regards,
John
Thanks for this,
If I ever sell a single copy of anything that I write, I’ll let you know.

Hi Sally

Please slow down the info otherwise it just gets wasted and never read.
I don’t make any money on my site yet but who cares, I enjoy building it and when its done who knows.
I lost my son in 1993 and this is a way of keeping going.
Hi Sally,
Wow – your shy friends certainly seem to have come out of the woodwork…lol
Who can blame them though – the article is practically enough info to be a small report!
Excellent content!
I already have your blog on rss – now you create another… What are you like!
Oh – and I can add your picture to your testimonial if you would like it there, I don’t think I had one on file – but could soon copy one
Catch you soon

Hi Sally,
Good advice as always but what if you are not passionate about any one thing. This seems to be my stumbling block as I am one of lifes “Dabblers”. I tend to dabble in variouse things and do not have a passion for one specific thing.I know about a lot of things mostly usless info so how do you write for that one thing in this circumstance.
D Thomas
Awesome read Sally!! Thanks for the info and sharing your expertise.
Hi Sally,
Thanks for the freebies and your help, as a newbie to all of this I am finding it overwhelming and hope that it will all ‘click’ into place soon.
I am ploughing through the info gradually but its putting it into practice that I am having problems with!
Keep up the good work and many thanks.
Any advice from anyone wouyld be appreciated.

Sally,
Great information as usual. Thanks!!
Lorna/
It seems that you have at least 40 people who regularly read your emails! That’s better than I ever had when I was keeping my list… I like reading your information because you seem to be down to earth and your tactics don’t semm to need a PhD to figure out. With that said, I have been unable to get a site up and running due to fear of failure. The last couple I had were total flops and I’m leary of starting again. However, as we all do, I need some extra money so I’m girding up to try again. Just need a little shove to get me over the bump in the road.
Cheers,
Sarah
p.s. Thanks for the book!
More comments, just what I love to see!
Lorna…You are very welcome!
Sarah…I am sure you have learned much more since your earlier days online and this time you are more likely to have a successful site this time! Never be afraid of failure, just get out there and GO FOR IT!
Sally

Dammit Girl, that didn’t work.
I thought “why not dive into Sally’s past, to se how she’s evolved over 3 years?”
I was planning to see what chenges you’d been making that were making you grow and succeed.
What do I find?
An excellent post, clearly written, with very good tips and advice. Hmph.
You were getting a hge amount of comments even back then.
I don’t blieve anybody can jump in and be successful that quickly.
So – what’s your history prior to January 2008? You must have had a previous life before your blog. Go on, tell me, I’m fascinated.
Tell me, or I’ll come and get you.
