Even without a web site you can reap tremendous profits

Hello,

Welcome to a new issue of "The Ebook Marketer" and 
a warm welcome to all the new subscribers since last 
issue.

Since this is the last Ezine of the year 2002, I wish you 
all the best for the coming Holidays, and also a happy, 
prosperous, and healthy 2003 for you and your family.

As you may have noticed, I moved away from Topica, to 
send out this Ezine. Why? Because I'm fed up with all 
the ads they insert.

I now use the Sellwide "Multiple Mailing List" script. It's 
easy to install on your own server, and it works great.

I have also added a new section to this newsletter. In 
the "Subscriber Questions" I will answer any Ebook 
related questions you may have. Just ask. Ok?

Here are 2 new audio Ebooks to download:

=> "How To Create Your Own Money-Making Mint!" 

This is an audio interview that Michael Green recently 
had with Peter Twist, and it's packed with useful tips 
and info. Michael reveals for the first time how he got 
his business a top 10 listing in the Clickbank market 
place... and how you can too...

=> "Millionaire at 31... on the Internet" 

This is an interview with Stephan Ducharme who 
became a millionaire in only a few weeks...
http://tinyurl.com/3ul6 

TIP: Most likely you have already heard about Ken 
Envoy's "Site Build It!" toolkit:
http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/sitesell.htm 

"Site Build It!" takes care of all the complexity of building 
and marketing your web site... from brainstorming to 
domain name to web hosting, from graphic design to 
search engine submission and optimization, from 
traffic analysis to Ezine publishing, etc... 

This "all in one" business package is designed to help 
you set up and profit from your own web site, fast and 
easy.

Well, Ken now offers a "two for the price of one" offer. 
You can get a copy of "SBI", plus a free product of your 
choice.

But watch out, this special offer expires on the 3rd of 
January, so be quick to grab one of the best offers I 
have heard. 

Have a look for yourself: 
http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/sitesell.htm 

It's also a good idea to register as an affiliate, so that 
you get the commission as well, thereby getting a 
double discount! :-)

To your Ebook sales!

Subscriber Questions

<==> <==> <==> <==> <==> <==> <==> <==> <==> 

Q: "Dirk, I have taken you e mail course on writing ebooks. I 
have set up and account with both Bizland and Clickbank. 
My web site is up and running and my book is in PDF format. 
What I am having problems with is how to market my book. 
I have signed up with a site called Successpub, however 
they may as well have written everything they are telling me 
on their sites in Japanese as I cannot understand what I 
need to do to begin the email promoting. I really could 
use some help in language I can understand on how to 
market my site and my book. So far, all the info you have 
given me and been wonderful and incredibly helpful. Thank 
you for any help. Sincerely, Karin"

A: Karin, It takes some time to promote your Ebook. You 
can start offering a copy of your Ebook to Ezine publishers, 
who write about your subject of your book. They will be 
glad to give you an ad or even write a recommendation 
if they find it valuable. You can also set up an affiliate 
program at Clickbank, and offer those Ezine publishers 
a commission when they use their affiliate link beneath 
your ad. You should also set up a pop-up window on your 
site, to capture the email addresses from your web site 
visitors, so you can follow up on them later. As you know, 
most sales don"t happen on the first visit, but only after 
5-7 contacts. This will get you started. Good luck, Dirk

Q: "Dirk, I am writing a report on weightloss and would like 
to know how I can get copyrights for it. I searched on the net 
for information but couldn't find the right one. I want to know 
how much it would cost and where I can get it. And also if 
I change the version of the report in future (like updates) 
should I get the copyrights again..."

A: Here's a web site with all the info you may need:

"You Have To Kiss A Lot's Of Frogs Until You Find The 
Handsome Prince"

Hemingway rewrote the ending to A Farewell to Arms 39 
times. 

When asked about how he achieved his great works, 
he said, "I write 99 pages of crap for every one page of 
masterpiece." He has also been quoted as saying "the 
first draft of anything is shit."

And Hemingway was right to the point. You can always 
recognize a great idea when you look at the bad ones.

This holds true in every area of life, but most of all 
in the design industry.

So, let me share with you a secret that most people 
ignore: ALWAYS CREATE AT LEAST TWO DRAFTS OF 
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, EACH TIME STARTING FROM 
SCRATCH. 

This way, you always have something to relate to when 
you make your decision.

When I first started my work as a designer for a 
newspaper, I was always deleting my drafts, thinking 
that the chief designer will laugh at me when he will 
see my bad drafts and that it might think that I'm not 
a good designer. 

But later, when he only saw my finished layout he was 
asking me why didn't I make it so... or so... all I could do, 
was to tell him that I did but it didn't look as good as 
this one.

That's when I learned a valuable lesson: it's hard to 
create something great from nothing but it is possible 
when you put together more different not so good drafts 
to end up with a wonderful piece of art.

One of the best methods to create something great is 
to create more than one different pieces of what you 
have to do and then get rid of the bad ones. 

All this because you'll know what's the best idea when 
you can compare it with all others bad ideas.

I was talking a few days ago with one of my mentors 
and he reminded me that every obstacle that we pass, 
take us closer to our desired goal. 

It's a true fact that we were born to succeed and not to 
fail. Someone, up there, wants us to succeed. All the 
failures we face are experiences we must learn from. 

And remember that all these failures make the success 
much more rewarding when attained. 

All the great artists out there are no more talented 
than you and me; they all work harder and have the 
ability to set aside what's bad in their work from 
what's good.

And this fact hold true in every area of life.
