Mega Book was incredible. I wish you could have been there! I spoke to a full room and met wonderful people. I was also surprised by the reaction from Mark Victor Hansen's people.

They were marveling at the fact that I filled the room as a first-time speaker. I was surprised they thought I wouldn’t fill the room! Only because authors want to sell books, and getting on the Internet to me is a no-brainer! 

But on a more personal note, I don’t think of myself as a speaker. In fact in my mind, I’m terrified of speaking in public and I don’t do it very often. (I say in my mind because the reality was that I was quite comfortable once I got up there!)

I knew it would be good exposure. Still, I really didn’t want to do it. Fortunately, my husband encouraged me so I went for it.

Believe me when I say it was totally out of my comfort zone and it was risky on several levels that I won’t go into here. But the reason I want to share this with you is because we’re all afraid of something and the only way you are going to get through the fear is by doing what you fear.

Sometimes you’ll be afraid while doing something fearful and sometimes you’ll see that it was just the boogie man and the reality is pretty incredible once you break through.

The secret is being prepared. I give a lot of teleseminars and speak to students every day- I know my subject. And once you really know it and believe in the value of what you have to say down to your toes, it gets a lot easier!

So if you know your stuff and believe in what you are doing, then "Just Do It!" Because when you do, incredible things will happen for you! And you deserve it!

How To Get Testimonials That Make People Beg To Buy Your eBook Right Now!

Testimonials are a very powerful tool that you can use to sell more ebooks and the best part about using them is that they are FREE! So make sure you use them to your full advantage. Here are 7 tips to get you started today!

1. Ask Your Customers For Testimonials. The truth is that people don’t like to ask for a testimonial. An easy way to do this is to ask during a virtual ebook tour, at the end of your ebook, on a teleseminar, and in private consultations.

Whenever it makes sense to do so, ask for a testimonial! A good way to get your customers to give one is to tell them what’s in it for them, i.e. they will get free publicity in return for giving you one. You can also offer a free gift that is of value to your customers.

2. Make Sure Your Testimonials Are Heartfelt. Testimonials that are from the heart and move people will get potential customers to buy your ebook. The best way to ensure that they are heartfelt is toget them right away.

Another way is to get candid ones by pulling them from emails people have sent you or comments they have made on teleseminars.(Always be sure to get permission to use them first.)

Q: Is writing ebooks as stand-alone products advisable, as opposed to themes and related subjects?

A: Writing stand-alone products is not advisable. People will buy when they know you, like you, and trust you. When you establish yourself as an expert in your field and dominate your niche, it’s a lot easier to sell ebooks! This is why I believe that everyone needs an ebook-to use as a stepping stone to a very profitable business.

Q: Is it okay to record my voice if I’m not a good writer and then hire someone to edit and transcribe this onto paper?

A: Absolutely! In fact I always say if you can talk, you can write an ebook because you always record first.  However, it will need some work to turn it into an actual manuscript. And by the way, we have a service that will turn your recording into an ebook. You can find it at:  www.theebookcoach.com/recordingservices.html 

Q: What autoresponder do you use?

A: I use 1 Shopping Cart because they have great technical support and it’s FREE! They have video tutorials too. And some of the top internet marketers in the world advise them, so they are always working to make it better and more user- friendly. Plus if you use it, you not only have them but you have me and my whole team to help you if you get stuck! To sign up under me go to www.theebookcoach.com/ecommerce.html
