Welcome to the E-book Profit Secrets Newsletter. The response has been amazing to this newsletter. I want to take a minute to thank Terri Romine who put it together and Heather Kirk and her sister, Megan, for the header. They did a great job!

I also want to take a minute to thank you all for the overwhelming love and support I've gotten for my new teleseminar The 7 Biggest Mistakes People Make Writing An E-book and How To Avoid Them. Here are just a couple of the many testimonials I received:

“Thanks, Ellen, for your awesome teleseminar on the 7 biggest mistakes people make writing an ebook. Your delivery style is compact and informative, not full of hype, so we get the most out of your presentation.

Most important to me is the way you over-deliver so there is no doubt about the value of your instruction.

I look forward to your next class!”

Roberta Peters,
The "How To Make Your Cat Love You" expert

“This was an amazing class. I only was able to hear half the call and yet picked up many tips!  You are an awesome teacher and generous with your sharing this information. It was a blessing to me, to be able to spend this time with you! I am truly looking forward to taking your class!”

Love and gratitude, Morgine

If you missed it I'll be offering this fr.ee teleseminar again Thursday, August 18, 2005.

And, as you probably know the Quick-Start 3-day E-book Authoring Program is a rollicking success- It's sold out. So, I've added another one in September and it's 1/3 of the way full! So be sure to check it out at www.TheEbookCoach.com/quickstart.htm

After August 18th my husband and I will be taking a much needed vacation. It's the first one since I started this business and I'm ready! So you won't be able to reach me until after labor day. No phones, no internet. I don't know how I”ll make it through! (I'm addicted!) But on a more serious note. Have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend.

Enjoy the rest of the summer and get ready to make the last quarter of this year a huge success for all of us!

4 Ways To Reduce The Stress, Guesswork
and Headaches of Writing An E-book

Writing an e-book can be a stressful experience -so, stressful in fact that some people just avoid doing it all together. Or they get started, get frustrated; and give up. Others “white knuckle it” hating every minute of it. But, there are 4 ways to eliminate the stress and guesswork of writing an e-book so it is not only pleasurable but a powerful tool to bring you the financial success you deserve. They are: 1. to know your purpose, 2. use a system 3. model and 4. use an e-book coach.

“Know your purpose” means know why you are writing your e-book. Are you going to use it to generate leads, to make money, to introduce another product or will it introduce you to your potential customers? How you write your e-book will depend on what you are trying to accomplish. If you don’t start with your goal in mind you won’t succeed and might even conclude that you can’t succeed which isn’t true.

For instance, my first product talked about the 13 steps to writing an e-book. But when I spoke about these steps, I found that people didn’t even know why they should write an e-book. So that told me that I needed an e-book that explained why people should write an e-book! And, I needed something fast, so I started with a special report called Insider Secrets to Exploding Your Business By Authoring An E-book (www.TheEbookCoach,com/documents/Insider.pdf)

The second way to eliminate the stress and guesswork is by using a system. System stands for save yourself time, energy and money and that’s exactly what you do when you use a system; it automatically takes away the guesswork. You follow the same proven steps each time so you know it works. Why reinvent the wheel when you don’t have to?

The third way to eliminate the stress and guesswork is by modeling other people who have done what you are trying to do. So always seek out someone who has done what you are trying to do and see how they did it. I have written an e-book in 72 hours. So if you model me, you can get the same results.

The fourth way to eliminate stress and guesswork is to work with an e-book coach. As an e-book coach, I know what information you need, how to keep you focused, and the system you need to write your e-book in 12 hours of actual writing time. By working with me you will be spoon fed everything you need; you’ll remove the stress and guesswork and get your e-book done in record time.

If you’re ready to take action and put your life on the fast track to success. and stop stressing over writing your e-book there’s no time like the present. You now know what you need to do to get your e-book done without the headaches and stress. And, to make it really easy, you can go to

Super Bowl Ticket Secret 2006 Edition
An Insiders Guide to Obtaining Super Bowl Tickets at Face Value (or Less)… 100% Guaranteed
By Jeff Howard

Overall this e-book was very well done. It solved a problem - How to Get Super Bowl Tickets and gave great information. Even though I have no interest in attending the Super Bowl, I read it from cover to cover because it was well-written, engaging, an easy read and gave some ingenious tips for getting tickets.

It was short and got right to the point but it was packed with solid information. It followed the rules for writing on the web with short paragraphs, lots of white space, a conversational style and was backed up with great testimonials.

Having links in the back and asking people to share their stories a great thing to do. If you get enough of them you can even turn them into another e-book!

It also had helpful links and resources which provided more value.

Not only that but saying that it’s the 2006 edition lets you know that it is always being updated, which also provides more value and gets people to check back periodically to the site.

Also, the sales page looked professional. Jeff used his picture and his signature which gives people confidence, solid headlines and copy.

Room For Improvement...

1. The biggest problem I have with this e-book is that the author tells people that they might be able to sneak into the game. I have a real problem with this. I’m not sure whether this is illegal or not, but I suspect it is. And, since there are so many other ways to get in that are above board I wouldn’t lower my personal integrity with this tip.
   
2. The cover graphics did not live up to the quality of the content. I would consider having a new cover made.
   
3. The author needs to tell us his background and what qualifies him to write this e-book. It’s clear once the reader is engaged that the author knows his stuff but it wouldn’t hurt to give a little background in an introduction.
   
4. There were grammatical errors and in one case I found a word missing. Always have a few people look over your manuscript and if possible have an editor review it. It’s okay to put it out the way it is and let your reader’s point these issues out. But if you want to get a 5 -star rating and be a joint- venture partner then the manuscript must be grammatically correct.
   
5. The problem with the sales copy is that again, you don’t tell people about yourself and why they should believe you, have confidence in you and buy from you. And, you have a two opt-in boxes. I’ would lose the second box. Once you get their information on the first page, you show them the sales page and if they want to purchase they go right to the purchase page. Don’t make them opt-in again, it’s an imposition on people and I don’t see any reason to ask them to do it.

Note: If the author chooses to make the changes based on the recommendations and wants to resubmit an e-book for a joint venture at a later date, it will be considered at that time.
