It's everyone's dream, having your own top selling book paving the way to great publicity, prestige, wealth and fame giving you the freedom to finally break free of the daily grind.
When many of us consider how to learn to write a book we think back to studying great fiction writers in school where we are taught the basics of grammar and the English language. Yes, you have to know the basics of how to write, but to write an ebook or best-selling book, it has little to do with writing ability and everything to do with understanding your readers and what they want.
Of course this is good news if you don't fancy yourself a literary type, where the words just don't seem to come when you sit down to write and where adhering to the main rules of grammar and spelling are more painful than placing your hand on a hot element.
Your question of how to learn to write a book can be answered in 3 simple steps.
1. Mastering idea generation and market research. You will notice that this step has absolutely nothing to do with writing, but instead stresses the importance of knowing how to evaluate demand, uncover opportunities to provide answers to questions and understand the unerlying motivation behind common questions your readers will have.
2. Organize and Outline. It's a little known fact that non-fiction, informational books are most valuable when organized into a logical sequence of information corresponding to high demand customer questions. Especially important to mastering the organization of any ebook, book or informational product is to reverse engineer the questions that your reader will need to have answered to get from their current situation to where they want to be.
If you ask how to learn to write a book, learning how to outline your book, ebook, course or information product is the one single key to earning a fortune. Not only will it make writing your products much faster, it will open up opportunities for inexpensive ghostwriting for some of all of your books freeing your time to enjoy life.
3. Making Everything Old Unique Again. There is very little new information that exists out there, yet every month their are new best-selling books on topics where many books have been written before. Is there repetition - absolutely. Many of my clients that ask me how to learn to write a book feel they must be 100% unique in the information they provide, yet again and again top selling books contain information that largely overlaps what is already available - so why do they sell?
You may not believe me when I say this, but it is absolutely true, you only need to have one unique aspect about your product for it to become a best-seller. It is possible, and has been done many times, that all of the content overlaps with what is already out there, but is simply presented in a different way - back to the organization topic we discussed earlier.
For example, you could take the topic of traveling on a low budget, research information already available, then re-package the knowledge into your own formula - even add one or two unique experiences from your own travels and there you have it, a completely original work.
To realize our dream of becoming a best-selling author we have to know how to learn to write a book, suprisingly it has more to do with reading your market, organizing and re-packaging information in a way that is perceived as unique. With this formula, you too can realize your dreams of writing a top-selling book.

Autoresponders
Using an autoresponder is pretty much a must – do in modern internet marketing. You simply must build a list, and you must build it using automated techniques.
So how long should your autoresponder sequence be?
Well, it varies dramatically depending on your purpose, but for ours and this project, you are simply going to start with a simple series of about 3-4 messages in your auto responder sequence. This will make it easy for you to learn the basics.
These emails are not designed to sell, but rather to allow your customer to get to know you. Remember, you are simply building a relationship with like-minded folks online, building an opportunity to begin to recommend your products or affiliate products on down the road. You want them to learn to like you, to trust you, to want to buy from you, and feel comfortable doing so.
Your first email should simply thank the subscriber for joining your list, indicating that you strive to maintain a quality mailing and will do your best to only send helpful information. If you have offered a free ebook or other product to first-time subscribers, you can include a link to that ebook in this email. This is certainly a get-to-know-you email.
Your second, third and fourth emails should be spaced about 4-6 days apart, and should simply be useful information for your subscribers. You can send links to additional free ebooks, to useful info on your web site, or you can simply write content with good information, and send it to your subscribers.

Leads??
I just received an email from a frustrated business owner who asked;
"How can I generate leads on a very limited budget?"
It's a question I hear more and more these days.
It is a horrible position to be in. You need the leads to make money and you need money to get the leads.
Or do you...?
This Is What I Told Him:
1/ You need to create a simple 2 page website using a software like XSitePro I honestly believe that XSitePro is one of the best lead generating tools to hit the online community in the last 3 years. It takes 90% of the hard work out of creating a professional website. The first page on this site needs to be a simple Name Squeeze opt-in form. (See and example at http://www.GetMoreSalesleads.com ) The second page... well, sign up and see for yourself. :-)
2/ Next get yourself an unlimited auto responder account with Aweber.com and write a series of follow up messages explaining the benefits of your products and services.
3/ Register a keyword-rich domain name and install Wordpress (available from wordpress.com)
NOTE: use a service like www.BannersMall.com to create a professional looking header graphic for your site.
4/ Contact 100 people (via telephone) in your niche market and ask them to have a guest column on your new site.
Explain that they will be free to promote their products and services so long as they also provide you with interesting, original content.
5/ Publish their articles on your blog and use an article submission software like ArticleSubmitterPro to submit their monthly articles to 900+ article directory sites.
6/ Write 3 original articles a day relating to your niche market and submit these at the same time.
7/ Use your blog to drive traffic to your XSitePro Name-Squeeze site.
The aim should be to make your blog an authority site relating to your niche. This takes time and that is one reason why you need to leverage on the talents of others. You will be pleasantly surprised at how helpful people are when you ask them for help in a polite manner.
A Possible Objection to the Above:
The first is... "But Chris, this will take a lot of time..."
And your point is?
If you have a healthy cash flow, then you can start seeing leads 20 minutes from now with any one of the Pay Per Click programs like Google Adwords.
But if money is tight - this is a viable alternative. The trouble is there are so many people that would rather sit like a stuffed potato night after night in front of the idiot box when they could be doing something to grow their business and change their hopeless situation.
Look at it this way...
Everyone in business is helped or hindered by three things:
1) Money 2) Time 3) Energy
Any time you are short on one of these three you have to increase the other two.
In other words,....
A lack of time means you will l need to use more money and energy.
A lack of energy means you will have to use more money and time.
A lack of money means you will have to use more energy and time.
These 7 steps are not a quick-fix but they do present a simple lead generating solution that virtually anyone can use to build up a steady flow of targeted traffic which in turn can generate sales leads on a consistent basis.
Like every idea, the things I have shared will only work in your business if you apply them.

Al Search engine optimization requires a lot of on-page and off-page optimization techniques and activities, but I will discuss only about the content related portion of it, that is, on-page optimization that you can do on your webpages.
Finding the right keywords and optimizing your website for them
The first step is to select the right keywords. Think of the keywords that your prospects will type on a search engine like Google, Yahoo, or MSN. You also need to do competitive analysis to find out the most popular keywords, and keyword competition. A perfect match would be to find a keyword that is popular and has somewhat less competition. In other words find keywords that have high demand and low supply. All the important keywords and keyword combinations should be placed in the meta tag keyword tag.
Title tags that bring traffic to your site
Title tag is the most important tag of your page. The length of title tag should less than 60 characters or 8 to 9 words. Ideally the keyword should be used in the beginning of the tag. You should not use the keyword more than two times in the title tag. Use keyword combinations in the title tags.
Meta tag descriptions to attract visitors from search engines
This tag appears in search engines results page so it should be compelling enough to make the visitor click on the website. The keyword should be used in the beginning of the tag and should not be used more than twice. The length of the meta tag description should be less than 125 characters or 18 to 20 words.
Using descriptive H1 and H2 tags effectively
H1 tag is the next important tag after title tag. The keyword should be used in the beginning of the tag and it should be compelling enough to make the visitor read the rest of content. Your content should have lots of sub-heading too. Make sure that the headings are informative rather than vague and convoluted. Avoid fancy language; be direct in headlines of your page.
Optimizing body content to the fullest
The keyword density in the main body text should be around 2 to 4%. There are many free websites that help you in measuring keyword density of your webpages. The keyword should be used in the opening paragraph and in the opening sentence. It would be a good idea to use the keywords heavily in the opening paragraph, but do not overdo it in rest of the content. The keyword should be also used in the middle of the content page and in once in the closing paragraph. A variety of keyword variations should be also used in the content and in the h2 and h3 tags.
Providing descriptive link tags
The keywords variations of the targeted keyword should be used in the hyperlinks of the other links in the website. This gives more weightage to keyword density.
Giving meaningful page names and alt tags for images
Usually people ignore the importance of image names and tags, and many a time they have names such as "4768978" without any tag. Try and use essential keyword in the image name and page name as search engine can read them.

I did`nt know I could
I didn’t know I could do it
What do the gurus say about marketing on the Internet? Well they all have different ideas different ways of dealing with so many thousands of aspects. But every one agrees that you must put passion into what you do.
Failure is a dirty word. You have heard of people who have created something out of something so simple, yet it became a big seller. They were persistent and ignored setbacks. They were passionate they loved what they were doing. They had that desire to succeed.
Amway started with soap powder and a stain remover then went on to build an empire. Then when you have cultivated a desire in your customers half the battle is won. I said half the battle because you don`t sit back and relax at that point. You move on to greater thi
So grab a piece of paper and write down all your hobbies, it could be crosswords or puzzles, competitions, motorcycles, cars, even playing a musical instrument.
What about activities, you do in your spare time, like ballet, cooking, or even making something in wood or metal, can you do welding if you can`t go to college be taught. Can you play bowls, could you teach others? So why not get a movie camera and get a friend to make a movie of you actually teaching someone, and sell the end product.
I was talking to my son on the phone a couple of nights ago and as he works for a lift company he was asked to give a lecture to some business people. So he put together a lecture and gave quite a professional talk to a roomful of people who wanted to know about lifts in business.
When I asked him how much he had made, he said oh I gave it for free. I was flabbergasted. Hell Roger I said, you could have laid on a hall with coffee and charged a bundle for something like that. Business people are crying out for information about everything, and here you are giving it away. If you have a talent such as this, exploit it. Well I didn’t know I could do it, he replied. Oh well.
- If you have a talent, harness it.
- Being organised is a talent
- Being able to decorate.
- Being able to fix anything is.
- Being able to send people to wonderful locations
- Being able to organise an auction.
- Organise a liquidation sale.
- Notifying people where to find cheap goods to sell on Ebay
- Showing people how to fish and how to cook what you have caught.
- Teaching people how to drive.
- Teaching people how to dance .
They are all talents and there are hundreds more, something to think about eh
Creating information-based products is a fantastic way to start a responsive problem solving way to make some money. When you have made your mind up about what you are going to do, the next step is selling, and this is a very important aspect of marketing. Don`t send out adverts willy-nilly like I did. Just like firing a shotgun into the wide blue yonder. Be selective. Find the hungry crowd looking for what you have to sell. I am told that you can start an optin list of such peple by offering a free product and when you receive there email address don`t take it for granted they want you to send them information, ask them to confirm their address. That way they have more or less given you permission to send them information. This way you avoid spamming, right?
Now that you have got the makings of a list, which is a must for marketers, treat them with respect; nurture them as you would a friend. So remember you are providing a solution to their problems and keep asking them what it is they want. have they got a problem? A sort of How to …information service if you like, be it a manual, or a CD or DVD.
I have a lot of ideas so you can call me at jaguar34@hotmail.co.uk anytime as I also have a FREE ebook you can ask for.
Talk to you soon.
