When long time marketer Jim Edwards, together with brilliant copywriter David Garfinkel wrote an ebook called Ebook Secrets Exposed Jim wrote a few articles to help his affiliates promote the product. One of those articles was titled “The Top Seven Mistakes Ebook Authors Make”. I’ll post it for you soon. #7 on that list was “They write ebooks that nobody will pay for.” Ouch! Can you imagine spending hours, days, weeks or months writing an ebook that no one wants? Is there any way to find out, while still in the idea phase, whether or not your ebook will sell? And, to take that one step further, actually forecast how much you can charge for your ebook? And, further still, how much money it would add to your regular income on a monthly basis? Yes, there is. It is quite literally a 3 step formula that you can use for any market to answer those questions ahead of time. You’ll find the formula in the final pages of my newest report “What’s My Ebook Idea Worth? - The 3 Step Formula to Determining Profit Potential of Your Ebook Idea” Sound difficult? It’s not. Not when you have a guidebook, complete with walkthroughs of the three steps… Filed under: Ideas for Ebooks Comments: None |

There’s so much to be said for journaling that I’m not quite sure where to start! If you’ve ever taken a creativity course or read a book on becoming more creative you’ve probably had the idea of journaling every day shoved down your throat. For good reason! Try this. Even just for a week and see if it makes any changes in your life… Every morning make this your first priority. Sit down with a notebook and write. Everything that comes to mind. Even if all you write is “I want coffee…” over and over again. After 20 minutes you’re free to go about your day. And your coffee. By the end of the week I’ll bet you’ve seen some interesting ideas, thoughts, lists spill out of your brain and onto paper. And, although it may be too early to tell, you may also notice your creative side peeking through that usually logical, usually predictable personality of yours. That’s a creativity building exercise for you. Stay on it past the week and big changes are coming your way. Here’s where the Idea Bank comes into play… Take that same notebook and flip it over. Now you’re writing back to front but it doesn’t matter, I’m just trying to save you 67 cents for another notebook. Make this side your Idea Bank Notebook. Whenever you get an idea - whether it’s for an ebook you want to write, a recipe you want to experiment with, a new business venture or a solution to a problem that’s been hounding you - jot it down. Jot it down. Then let it go. You may never see it again. But if you need to, it is there. Take that little Idea Bank Notebook everywhere with you. You’ll get ideas all over the place. On the streetcar, in your coffee shop, watching television. If you are passionate about any one of those ideas, or if any one of them are true gold, your subconscious will remind you consistently until you can’t ignore it anymore. At that time you’ll grab your notebook, take out that idea and start to play with it. If the idea is for a business venture you’ll play at it by writing out a business plan. If the idea is for a recipe alteration, you’ll head into the kitchen. Or collaborate with friends. Or draft an outline. And your idea starts to grow. All because you had the foresight to jot it down when it entered your mind the first time. Filed under: Idea KickStarts and Ideas for Ebooks Comments: None |
