by:
Wayne Perkins
Have you ever detected
the expression, " the fastest
way to reach your
goals is to help others reach their goals?"
I remember this expression and use it as my Net
book-marketing
plan. It has paid off with 3 better commercialism books for me in the past
year.
How makes it activity in Net
Bookselling? Let me explain.
Websites generally have three characteristics that help them
consistently remain in the top search engine standings:
1. Websites must add and change their content often. (Once or doubly a
day is perfect)
2. Websites must offer an e-zine or newsletter. The top websites
offer newsletters and e-zines that are delivered via e-mail every day.
3. Websites wish ordinarily have their own bookstore with an affiliation
or association with Amazon.com to allow visitors a know-how
of
purchasing books that complement the information on the website.
Top websites spend a great deal of time and money to remain at the
top of the heap. Everyone wants to be there, but only a few can hold
down those top positions.
Understanding these three characteristics have enabled me to bring home the bacon
my goals by small indefinite amount websites bring home the bacon their goals.
Step One: Search for the Big Guys on the Internet
I have two areas of expertise. I am a mesmerist who writes books and
e-books on how to bring home the bacon success through hypnosis. I am likewise an E-
book Marketing Authority
and write books on how to write and sell e-
books.
In order to find top websites that may be interested in hypnosis, I
search on broader topics like "health" and "mental health." For my
books on E-book marketing I search on topics like "Internet
marketing" and "E-commerce."
Even although there are hundreds of search engines and thousands of
directories, I begin with searching on Yahoo. Yahoo is a directory
that is difficult to get into and even as more difficult to maintain a
high ranking.
>From my own experience once I ready-made the top of the heap in Yahoo,
under "hypnotism" my web traffic more than doubled and stayed that
way over the past three years.
Therefore, I conclude that the websites that arise to the top of
Yahoo wish be more much extremely
visited than through else search
engines and directories.
Step Two: Help the Webmaster Offer Much Content
Once I search under the two major categories that fit my topic, I
send e-mail to the webmasters at those sites causing on
my article
or sample chapter.
I tell the webmasters I would-be appreciate posting my article for their
readers in return for a short bi-line or description on what I do and
a link over to Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com or my own website in
return for the favor.
Most webmasters jump at the possibleness
at receiving free content
that allows them to maintain the high rankings on their websites.
Step Three: Help the Website News report Editor
The top ranking websites likewise sponsor their own news report or e-zine.
After contacting the webmaster simply about content adscititious directly to the
website, I then contact the news report editor in regards to placing
an article or sample chapter in the newsletter.
Sometimes at the bottom of a sample news report there wish be specific
instructions on how to submit articles. Many an times there is even as a
section on the website wherever
you can post your articles directly to
the editor.
After following the directions in the newsletter, I submit my article
or sample chapter to the website news report editor.
I have simply adscititious more content to their website, over again
small indefinite amount the
website increase traffic and at the same time direct interested
visitors to my book offerings settled in the author's bi-line.
Step Four: Help the Website Bookstore Do Money
Most of the time, you wish find that the top websites likewise have their
own bookstore. Ordinarily the Website bookstore wish be an "associate of
Amazon.com."
For example: You search on the keyword "health" on Yahoo and are
taken to the top five health sites. Let's call the top
website "health.com."
After navigating about the website you find a Health.com bookstore
that offers many an titles on a particular aspect of health you are
interested in. Once
you click on a book cover on that website, you
are directly sent over to a book description page on Amazon.com.
If you look at the complete link that shows up in your browser you
will see an URL (the Net
address) which looks thing
like
this:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1929695217/healthcom/104-
2910323-8772701
The two most important parts of the link are the ISBN number which is
the number called "ASIN/" which is Amazon.com's identification
number, and the words following the book's ISBN number which
is "/healthcom."
"Healthcom" is the website's Amazon.com Associate identification
number. This number allows the website to get paid for any sales that
result by causal agency clicking on the link and then buying the
featured book on Amazon.com.
The next thing you do is shave off the number off the end of the URL.
Now the URL wish look like this:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1929695217/healthcom
If your own book title listed on Amazon.com has an ISBN number or
ASIN number of 1585003557, what you do is insert that ISBN number in
place of the website's featured book.
Now the URL wish look like this:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1585003557/healthcom
That new URL is going to mean instant book sales for you.
Take your revised URL with your book ISBN and send a short message
via e-mail over again
to the webmaster of the website.
Ask the webmaster to feature your book on the website. Mention that
you are including the URL with the website's Amazon.com Associate
identification number.
Within a few days you wish begin to see a surge in your book sales as
a result of this technique.
Summary:
By small indefinite amount the webmaster add content, the news report editor offer new
articles and the website bookstore earn more money from Amazon.com by
adding your books, you are small indefinite amount the website maintain a top ranking.
By small indefinite amount the top websites bring home the bacon their goals you are drive
qualified traffic to your own website or to Amazon.com to fulfill
your goal of becoming a better commercialism author.
