Tech Tip

Have you ever tried to send someone an email attachment, only to find out that they couldn't open it?  Many times this is because they aren't using the same word processing or publishing software that you used to create the document.  

While some software does give you the option to save your document as a different file type (i.e., later versions of Word documents can be saved in a WordPerfect format) if you're not sure what word processing program someone else uses, try using an .RTF format.  

RTF stands for Rich Text Format.  This format preserves many word processor attributes, such as font, color, and some spacing.   You can look for this option in the Save As window of your word processor, in the Save As File Type option.

It's finally cooled down here in Woodland Hills, California. It got up to 118! But now it feels like fall!

There are 4 months left to make this a fabulous and profitable year. And we have some exciting things planned.

This coming week I'm releasing my Write Your eBook Now! Program. This is one-on-one ebook-writing coaching. So watch your emails for details. Or if you're in a hurry you can go to www.writeyourebooknow.com

Also, you'll notice in this issue we are spotlighting ebooks that are now available for purchase that have been written by my students. This will also be an ongoing periodic feature (This is a perk available with my Write Your eBook Now! program as well as an early-bird bonus for the Quick- Start 3-Day eBook Authoring Workshop)

I've also joined Robert Allen and Richard Paul Evans in Bookwise and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves books and would like another potentially very lucrative stream of income, or who wants to be an author and/or anyone who just loves to read. There are so many benefits it's mind boggling and it's supporting literacy too! But I won't go into all that here.

What I do want to say is that from time to time I will be reviewing books that I have purchased through Bookwise (starting with the next issue- and at 40 to 50% off the retail price I might add) and if you want more information you can go to www.partnerwithellen.com We're going to have a lot of fun and I'd hate to see you miss out!

So now that the kids are back in school and summer is over, it's time to get cracking and make 2007 your best year ever! And I want you to know that I will do whatever I can to help you make that happen!

"Been There. Done That. Finally Getting it Right. A Guide to Educational Planning for Students with Autism Lessons from a Mother and Teacher,"
by Jennifer Krumins

A must have resource guide for parents and educators that need help to plan a meaningful education program for students with autism!

This book promises personal, down to earth, common sense advice that I have gained through research and experience as a mother and a teacher of individuals with autism.

It offers a comprehensive account of what autism might look like in the classroom and practical strategies about how we can teach to these core deficits and how we can develop a useful and relevant Individual Education Plan! An extensive list of possible accommodations, modifications, possible goals and objectives and instructions on how to write SMART goals are just a few of the benefits that you will receive. Any parent or educator that wants the best for a student with autism needs this book!

eBook Writing: How to Find A Best-Selling eBook Topic for a Targeted Audience... Fast!"

Have you been struggling to find a subject to write about, but you’re drawing a blank?  If you want to find a topic that would be of interest to a specific audience, the best and fastest way is to ask your target market what they want.

Instead of doing popular keyword searches, analyzing trends, or testing ideas, you can go directly to the people you want to help and ask them about their needs or what problems they want solved.  You can even take it a step further and ask them what kinds of solutions would work best for them.  This will give you plenty of ideas to work with.

Where do you find people in your niche?  If you have your own list, you can survey them directly via email.  Be sure to ask specific questions to get the best information to use for creating ebooks and other products.

If you do not yet have a list, visit forums, chat rooms, and discussion boards related to your niche and observe what people are talking about.  What problems are they complaining about?  Inferior products?  Poor service?  Inadequate information?

Each problem that is identified is an opportunity for you to provide a solution.  By packaging the solution to these problems in the form of reports, ebooks, teleseminars, or mini-courses, you can put a lot of cash in your pocket.  Just market your solution to the people who gave you the idea.

Asking people exactly what they want and then providing it to them is one of the most successful methods of ebook and product creation.  You’ve got a ready-made market that will be eager to buy from you.  This marketing technique removes the question of “Will anybody buy my ebook or informaiton product?” and will guarantee your success!

This tip is from the ebook "Sell More eBooks, Low And No-Cost Tactics To Explode Your eBook Sales And Downloads."

To get all 39 tactics now go to www.sellmorebooks.com. 

Q & A

Q: I've asked people what they want to know about my topic (activities management) and most people can't give me an answer. Now what?

A: There are a couple of possibilities here.  You may need to ask more specific questions or maybe phrase the question with an idea for a solution in it, i.e. "Would a daily planner help you with activities management?"

Have you done your keyword research?  It's important to make a list of any and every keyword that could possibly be used to describe a problem people want solved. .

You could also consider how your subject could fit in with another "hot topic," such as stress management or time management.  Remember, in order to guarantee your ebook's success, you've got to key in on what people want, not necessarily what you think they need.
