St. Patrick's Day Edition

First I want to say that I feel very lucky to have each and every one of  you as a subscriber to my list!

I also feel very lucky to live where I want here in  Sunny, Southern California. I feel very lucky to be able to work from home and make more money than most people will ever make! And I feel very lucky to have the friends I've made in this business and the brilliant colleagues that I get to work with! And I get to share it with my best friend and husband, Christen!

I also feel lucky for all the effort that went into helping us pick an ebook store name and we appreciate it.  We looked at the names, picked the ones we liked the best and Google tested them. We also looked at possible taglines. And after finding a great tagline decided to stick with Delicious eBooks. (We'll reveal it soon.)

And speaking of Google testing... It occurred to us that some of you might want your titles Google tested but don't know how, so we're now offering that as a service. How cool is that?! Stay tuned for details.

I hope you're feeling lucky, too. And if not, keep learning, keep growing and soon you'll be feeling it too, I promise!

Q. Is this higher price phenomenon for ebooks specific to the internet marketing niche?

A.   No, it's not specific to the Internet Marketing Niche but probably used more in that area because more people know about it.

Q. With Amazon letting us "look inside" a standard book, should we do something similar with our ebooks?  What about revealing page counts?

A. It doesn't hurt to let prospective buyers "look inside" your ebook, especially if you have a very desirable topic but aren't well known yourself. I don't think the page numbers matter as much as a taste of the content and/or a table of contents. A good way to do that is give a sample since it's too expensive for most people to set it up like Amazon.
