How to Market Your Unsold Books on the Internet: It's Easy

How to Market Your Unsold Books on the Internet: It's Easy Judy Cullins
c. 2003

Your book expresses your wondrous information, your creativity, your genius. It's your dream come true. Or is it? You have already tried a few venues--maybe an expo, book signings, press releases, book reviews, distributors, wholesalers, speaking and book tours.

Now, there is a new way to market those unsold books. Use the Internet. And you don't even have to have your own Web site or spend money.

Get ready to create a continuous, passive income. Be ready for those checks and charges coming your way often!

What Kind of Books Can I Market?

Depending on your passion, your willingness to learn a new way, and putting energy into your campaign, you can market any kind of book: how-to, non-fiction, fiction, short special reports, booklets, training manuals, workbooks, poetry, short stories, articles.

Sell your Print Books and Create New eBooks

If you already have a print book, you can still sell it Online. One way to draw attention to it is to write a short eBook on the same subject. This won't take long.

Make this eBook around 10-25 pages. You can take the information right from your print book. Just copy and paste information on one topic, perhaps one chapter. Reduce the number of stories to keep it short. Then add a new introduction and conclusion. People on the Net want straight-to-the point information.

Put your eBook into Word and Portable Document Format.Use your Word file to update and edit and use your PDF file to send your book by email.

Who will Buy?

You can sell your short eBook for 6.95-$14.95, depending on how much your audience wants it and how well you write your sales copy. You can also give this book away to stimulate your audience to want the whole story--the print book.

Online audiences read all kinds of books. Many will want the shorter electronic version and be perfectly willing to print it. Others only want a book they can hold and enjoy on their nightstand a long time.They will buy the longer version.

To publicize your books start writing short articles, anywhere from 400-1200 words on your book's topics. When you submit to Online ePublishers, Web masters and ezine owners, each article will be seen by thousands, even hundreds of thousands of Online readers. They are hungry for information. That's why they go to the Web.

To the bottom of the ezine, add a signature file that gives your title, tag line, book title, free offer, phone numbers, and e and Web addresses.

While your title may impress some, your tag line is far more important. What major benefit do you bring potential buyers? For example, "Helps professionals make money on their books through the Internet." Offer a free report or a free ezine to seal the deal. Not only do more people want to know more about your book, you will have their email address to send further promotions to.

Divide and conquer. Use your one book as a spring board for many others and catapult your sales.

Eat This Not That: Thousands of Simple Food Swaps That Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-or More!

Eat This Not That: Thousands of Simple Food Swaps That Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-or More!
Eat what you want, when you want--and watch the pounds disappear!

Americans spend more than $400 billion a year eating out, and behind each burger, turkey sandwich, and ice cream sundae is a simple decision that could help you control your weight-and your life. The problem is, restaurant chains and food producers aren't interested in helping you make healthy choices. In fact, they invest $30 billion a year on advertising, much of it aimed at confusing eaters and disguising the fat and calorie counts of their products. All of that has changed with EAT THIS, NOT THAT!. This book puts the entire food industry under the spotlight, and arms you with the savvy tricks and insider information it takes to eat well no matter where you are. With EAT THIS, NOT THAT! you're the expert in every eating situation, from the frozen food aisle to your favorite fast food joint to your local sports bar. You control your food universe-and lose the pounds you want--because, unlike every other customer, you'll know the smart choices to make-instantly!

EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is jam-packed with secrets the restaurant industry doesn't want you to know. For example:
Burger King doesn't want you to know that a BK Big Fish. Sandwich and fries have a whopping 1000 calories-nearly half your daily caloric intake! (Fish is usually healthy, but not this kind. Find out why with this book.)
Pizza Hut doesn't want you to know that a standard pizza in Italy contains 500 to 800 calories, but the same meal at Pizza Hut can top 2,100 calories! (You'd need to ride a stationary bike for more than three hours to burn off this mistake. Instead, eat all the pizza you want by making smart choices. EAT THIS, NOT THAT! shows you how.)
Macaroni Grill doesn't want you to know that a single serving of their Grilled Teriyaki Salmon has more than three times your daily allowance of sodium! (Cut your risk of high blood pressure by making smart choices at the same restaurant. You'll find them inside.)

If only you knew the industry secrets, you could eat at any of your favorite restaurants-or chow down on everything from the company vending machine to your kids' Halloween buckets-and know that every decision you made was smart, healthy, and the best possible choice for you. For example, did you know:
At McDonald's, an Egg McMuffin. is actually a healthy choice, with just 300 calories. (The Hotcakes pack more than double that amount!)
At Krispy Kreme, all you need to do is order the Very Berry Chiller instead of the Mocha Dream Chiller, and you'll save 500 calories! (Do that once a week and you'll drop more than 7 pounds this year-without trying!)
At Chipotle, you can cut 570 calories out of your Chicken Burrito just by ordering it as a bowl (without the tortilla) and asking them to hold the rice. (Same great taste, but with 94 fewer carb grams!)
Choosing a cinnamon roll at Au Bon Pain over Cinnabon will save you 463 calories and 20 grams of fat!
In the freezer section of your local supermarket, a turkey pot pie from Swanson's has 610 fewer calories than a turkey pot pie from Pepperidge Farms.
In the produce aisle, you'll get twice the vitamin C-and nine times as much vitamin A-simply by picking red bell peppers over green ones. (Who said eating healthy was difficult?)

And that's why EAT THIS, NOT THAT! is going to change everything. It's time to level the playing field. We're all tired of sneaky calories adding to our waistlines, and having to starve ourselves or spend hours on the treadmill trying to burn off the damage. Now-for the first time-you're in charge. With this simple illustrated guide to thousands of foods--along with the nutrition secrets that lead to fast and permanent weight loss--you'll make the smartest choice every time!

Wilton Cupcake Fun Book

Wilton Cupcake Fun Book
This new book from Wilton features 128 pages of over 150 new ideas for cupcakes, petit fours, mini-cakes and other individual desserts. It contains an extensive collection of projects and recipes featuring step-by-step decorating instructions, along with a delicious assortment of recipes for these individual treats, including fillings and icings for special occasions and holidays as well as day-to-day treats. Patterns are included in the book for creative cupcakes as well as a complete product listing from Wilton to complete your designs. Softcover, 8-1/4 x 10-3/4 with beautiful photographs.

Customer Review: we love this cupcake book

My husband and I love this cupcake book so much that we have bought it numerous time to give to our grown up children so that they can have the fun of making spectacularly whimsical cupcakes for their friends and children. The recipes for muffins and cakes are great. Every year wilton updates the creative aspects of a cake form and this one is just spectacular. The designs are doable by those with almost no coordination or cake decorating experience. The key is always to make your own frosting so it is thick enought to hold shapes, or add a LOT of powdered sugar to commercial frostings to thicken them. Anyway, there are literally 150 full color cupcakes. There are your hilarious farm animals, awesome swimmers for whom the cupcakes are inflatable innertubes, wedding cupcakes, floral, clowns, fruits, bunnies, seasonal and more. You will need to get some tips you may not normally have, but the ones you need are in the directions. I highly recommend the 24 cupcake stand Wilton makes for displaying your cupcakes. I use a 3 tiered dessert rack that is also a carousel that spins because I already have it for cakes. But there are some beautiful cupcakes that look awesome displayed on the top of any stemed goblet that has been turned upside down so the base become a litte table for the cupcake. The angel, penguin, and Christmas themes are just adorable, but there are sophisticate cupcakes too. If you buy the silicon cupcake holders you will be thrilled. Thoughful almost effortless fun for a loved ones special occassion.

Customer Review: Typical Wilton adverbook

I was a little disappointed in this book when I first got it. Since all you see on the cover is some "clown" cupcakes using the silly-feet baking cups (which I also purchased) I was expecting more uses of the silly-feet (I counted five), but it really covers whimsical cupcakes of all sorts, many of which would be suitable to make with children (easy to make).



It's really just an idea book and a catalog of Wilton products and what you can do with them. There is a helpful section called "The Perfect Cupcakes; How to bake, ice and decorate", and there are about six pages of recipes. Most cupcake instructions are from 1/8 to 1/2 page long, right next to a big, clear picture.



After getting over the "it wasn't what I expected" part of receiving this book, and seeing that my boyfriend seems rather enthusiastic about making really whimsical cupcakes and loves the silly-feet, I like this book more and more. Just don't expect anything sophisticated looking in it OR that many silly-feet ideas. If you are familiar with the typical adverbook that Wilton puts out, you shouldn't find any surprises here, and some of the recipes, which are a blend of from-a-mix and from-scratch, for the most part look very tempting.



There are six pages of really cute Halloween cupcakes, including a vampire in a coffin, and some skeletons/ghosts/tombstones.

The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book
Disney's 1967 animated feature seems even more entertaining now than it did upon first release, with a hall-of-fame vocal performance by Phil Harris as Baloo, the genial bear friend of feral child Mowgli. Based on fiction by Rudyard Kipling, the film goes its own way as Disney animation will, but the strong characters and smart casting (George Sanders as the villainous tiger, Shere Khan) make it one of the studio's stronger feature-length cartoons. Songs include "The Bare Necessities" and "Trust in Me." --Tom Keogh

Customer Review: Racist

A long time ago an African American friend criticized this movie because it was racist. I'm white and couldn't understand her perspective, that was before VHS and it was impossible to view the movie when I wanted to. Years past and I had kids, we rented it one day and I was horrified at the lyrics sung by Louie, the ape. Do you really want your children listening to an ape singing (with an exagerated Southern accent), "I want to be a man... An ape like me can learn to be human...Someone like me can learn to be someone like you..." It is very racist and we didn't finish the movie. Think about it.

Customer Review: kid's movies

Excellent movie for young children and adults as well. My grandson (2 yrs) has watched it enough to sing the songs in it. Very good movie. Buy it. Watch it over and over.

Customer Review: You could do it but still depending on your knowledge

1. The price of this manual is reasonable.

2. Some out-of-date information about procedures and parts.

3. Too technical which is not suitable for car owner (who has little knowledge about car) to do maintenance trouble-free.

4. Car owner could do approximately 25% out of 100% procedures of the whole manual. Please remember it depends on your car knowledge.

5. Haynes publisher do not care to respond their customer's e-mail and phone call for asking more information in the book as they promised to do so.

Customer Review: Haynes Auto Repair Manual

The Repair book tells you all you need to know about the car in an understandable way. Made replacing my head lights a lot easier.

Customer Review: Mostly good

The only complaint's I have is that I had a bit of a problem converting my quicken data into quickbooks. I was back and forth with quicken and quickbooks customer service because one doesn't know or help with the other.

The other thing would be the possiblity of being able to recieve (record)payments right at the time your typing up the invoice rather then going to a seperate window.

I wish they would combine the best of quicken and quickbooks!

Quickbooks is defintely better for my business.

Customer Review: First Upgrade Since 2001

Pretty much a solid product. I have had no issues, and really like not having to manually reconcile my accounts; but I believe that is not new to this release.



Works well.

DEWALT HVAC Technician Certification Exam Guide (Dewalt Exam/Certification Series)

DEWALT HVAC Technician Certification Exam Guide (Dewalt Exam/Certification Series)
The DEWALT® HVAC Certification Exam Guide is the most complete and comprehensive HVAC technician certification book available. This new ?standard? for the climate control industry will help readers pass the NATE, ICE, RSES Certification, HVAC Excellence, and HVAC Technician Licensing Exams. Innovative coverage also makes this exam guide extremely useful for studying and preparing for the state limited energy license and HVAC contractor licenses.

Customer Review: A good start

This is a good book to start with to review for the NATE or other tests. It only has a limited number of questions though. I took the NATE Heat Pump test and passed with this books help, but it only had 50 sample questions for Heat Pump's and the NATE test had 100 questions. My suggestion is that there be more sample questions. I'd also like to see a reference for additional information if you don't understand a question. This book serves a purpose, but could be a better tool...

Customer Review: Industry Standard for the NATE exam

This book is absolutely the standard for the NATE Exam. Not only does it give you insight on the types of questions to study for, but it gives you information on how to beat the test writers at their own game. A very good read!

Lion King

Lion King
Not an ideal choice for younger kids, this hip and violent animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge smash in theaters and on video, and it continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed Broadway production. The story finds a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is sabotaged by a rivalrous uncle. The little hero finds his way into the "circle of life" with some new friends and eventually comes back to reclaim his proper place. Characters are very strong, vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific, the jokes are aimed as much (if not more) at adults than kids, the animation is sometimes breathtaking, and the music is more palatable than in many Disney features. But be cautious: this is too intense for the Rugrat crowd. --Tom Keogh

Customer Review: Disney...Greedy Genius

Ok, I love Disney. I am a 22 year-old male. I have no shame about the fact that I love these movies. They were a part of my childhood, so now I am buying them. It's just too bad I can't buy the Lion King brand-new because of that STUPID vault!!! Sure, Disney has some genius minds that realize if they withhold something, people will pay more for it. But do they really need to? If my company had the money and assets like Disney does (considering they own ESPN) i believe that i would not lock up my greatest films just so I can sell them for 30 or 40 dollars five years from now. True, it's a smart move but it makes some of the fans resent them. I just wanna buy The Lion King.

Customer Review: Lion King

I recently purchased this item from gassga568105 and not only did the product arrive promptly, but the quality of the movie was great. The Lion King is a Disney classic with memorable characters and art. I recommend this movie for anyone with children or adults interested in Disney cartoons.
