Last weekend we hung out with our oldest and dearest friends Nancy Scott-Price and Marty Price. We had dinner on the patio - it was about 75 degrees out. And it was lovely! 

For those of you who do not recognize Nancy’s name, she’ not only my best friend - we go way back - but she’s a great editor too. She edited The Moving Cure for me and I highly recommend her. (nancysp@gmail.com) But that’s not the point. 

The point is that we hadn’t seen them in over a year! But then I bought The Power of Focus by Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Canfield, and Les Hewitt, and started following their suggestions to get more of what I want from EVERY area of my life. 

When I took an honest look at everything, I realized that I was working too much and my life was definitely out of balance. What I love about this book is it shows you step-by-step how to take baby steps to change your life, and it works! 

So I highly recommend picking up a copy and following their suggestions! As for me, I'm planning my next get together for The 4th of July! I hope you will too!

   How To Get Started Writing a Best-Selling eBook

The most asked question I get is, "How do I get started writing an eBook?" What you do BEFORE you write your ebook will ultimately determine its success. So build the foundation for your ebook and you'll have a much greater chance of becoming a successful ebook author.

1. Figure out what you are passionate about or you will lose interest and you'll never finish writing, let alone make money with your ebook!
2. Figure out what skills you have that you can utilize, because it's hard to succeed at something you aren't good at! For example, if you're a copywriter but you can only knock out one sales letter a month and you get paid $1500 for it, you'll starve (especially if you live in Los Angeles where I live).
3. Look at where your passion and your skills intersect. You'll probably come up with 3 or 4 possibilities, and that's where you have the best chance for success.
4. Once you know what you are passionate about and good at, then find a target market that wants what you have to offer.

          A good target markets is:
         ·          Online
         ·         They have money to spend
         ·          They are eager to buy what you have to sell.
         ·         One that you understand and connect to.

    5.  Figure out what purpose your ebook will serve in your business.         Are you going to give it away as a lead generator? Is it one in a         series or is it a single ebook? Is it your brochure? Do you want it         to be based on the core idea of your business or do you want it         to be an adjunct to your business? Once you know why you are         writing it, it will make it easier to figure out the approach you want         to take and what information you want to include or exclude from         it.

   6.  Look at what other people have written on the subject. What can         you add to the conversation? What will make your ebook
        unique? Why will people buy it? 

When you know what you have to offer and you fill a unique need in the market place and position your ebook accordingly, you've stacked the deck in your favor and you can start writing your ebook with confidence!

Q: I have heard you mention that the typical price of an ebook is $27-$47 dollars, and yet I have seen "actual"  books selling for far less.  How can I justify selling my ebook for between $27-$47 dollars?

A: All of us know that the price of most products and services is determined not by a "real" value, but by it's "perceived" value.  So the question really becomes, "How can I boost the perceived value of my ebook?" 

First of all, your ebook must contain good information.  If you've researched your target audience, you will be marketing your ebook to people who want what you have and are willing to pay for it.

Part of the built-in value of an ebook is its accessibility.  People will be willing to pay more for your ebook just because it provides instant gratification.  They find it, they buy it, and they are reading it in minutes, versus the time it would take to go to the store or order online and wait for a delivery.

You can provide that final boost in value by offering relevant and valuable bonuses when people buy your ebook.  A good bonus can sometimes make the difference between a sale and no sale.
