Tech Tip

If you make an offer with a VIP code or coupon you want to make sure that it is user- friendly.

If  you use one where you are getting a substantial number of people who can't  get the discount find, another coupon or VIP software that doesn't create problems for your buyers.

Or dump the code and have a lower price with the higher value visible on the page.

Otherwise you will lose sales and create unhappy customers.

I've always loved May. My birthday is in May, I got married TWICE to the same man in May! Mother's Day is in May! And the weather starts to get better in May! It's supposed to be in the 80's later this week!

And living by the beach, the fog is finally lifting before 3 p.m. and there is sunshine on my porch! Also the sun is moving in a different pattern and I can actually see the sunsets from my loft and they are absolutely gorgeous!

It's also my favorite time of year because I love doing my Virtual eBook Expo! And so far, the preview calls  have been awesome. I'm always amazed that no matter how much I learn, there's always something else I can learn.  And  I get excited about something every time I interview someone!

So if you aren't participating, you're missing an incredible opportunity and I hope you'll reconsider!

With gas prices going up, food prices soaring, and home prices continuing to plummet,  there couldn't be a better time to get serious about making your online business work!

And the Expo is the most affordable opportunity to learn anywhere - especially if you want to be an author AND make a name for yourself online! 

So at least check out the preview calls. It's just $20 and my bonus alone is worth more than 4 times that, so it's a great deal!

How To Find Your Million-Dollar
 Idea For Your eBook And
Your Online Business!

Many people don’t know how to find a successful topic. All they know is that they want to write an ebook. And they don’t believe that they are an expert at anything. Plus they can’t imagine why someone would buy what they have to offer. But think about this….have you ever done something and thought to yourself, “I can do this better?” If you have, you may be on to a million-dollar idea!  

When I got started, I didn’t plan to become The eBook Coach. I just wanted to write an ebook too! But I wasn’t satisfied with the process that I found and I thought, “I can do this better”. So I created my Quick Start 3-Day eBook Authoring Workshop. And believe me, the first time I gave it, it wasn’t great. It took time and work. I had to nurture it until it worked the way I wanted it to.

Now I’m not telling you this to brag; I’m telling you this because I see so many people who have ideas - good ideas - but because they are not fully-formed right off the bat, they lose faith and don’t pursue them.

So the next time you have an idea where you say to yourself, "I can do this better," allow yourself  to at least explore the possibilities.  You may just be sitting on a million-dollar idea...and a million-dollar business!

Q & A

Q: Are ebooks still hot?

A: eBooks are hotter than ever! The way we live is changing. People want access to information when they want it and where they want it. 

And  the Kindle and Sony Reader  and other ebook-reading devices make it possible.  People can take 12 books on a little device and they are good to go!

 Not only that, but ebooks are a great way to create content fast, to use in product launches that can make you hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, and they give instant credibility and expert status. eBooks are definitely hot!
 

Q: Can you recommend a free pdf tool?

A: In the past I have recommended www.pdf995.com. The problem is that it is not easy to use, in my opinion, nor are any of the other ones.


I finally had to bite the bullet and buy one that was easy to use! It's at www.docudesk.com and runs $29.95 but it works like a charm!
