Simple Audio Secrets - Choosing Winning Content For your Audio

Internet audio comes in a variety of formats. And whether you have already started with internet audio you might be wondering "how can I use internet audio for profit?"

Here is a short list of some of the ways you can incorporate audio into your existing internet marketing mix.

• Viral E-books and Viral Videos – use audio and video to promote a product, service, or web site and promote it as a free giveaway or a bonus offer
• Web Site Introductions – bring the human element to your web site which adds more credibility
• Multi-media copy – use audio as the stimulant to guide your web site visitors through the copy on YOUR site or in your upsells, downsells, and/or one time offers
• Audio testimonials
• Music
• Audio E-books for sale
• Podcasts
• Webinars
• Recorded teleseminars
• And many others

It's not a question anymore of SHOULD you incorporate audio into your online marketing mix. Today it's HOW.

As for striking a winning chord with your content ... it still comes down to research (just like in any other venture.)

Has that light bulb gone off yet in your brain with what NICHE is all about? In audio it's exactly the same. Let me illustrate.

Let's say you decide you want to be a podcaster.

Your next battle is what to podcast about. THAT comes down to a combination of your expertise and WHERE the demand is. Find a hungry market and feed it! Find a problem, and solve it!

The unfortunate dilemma is that most internet marketers follow this principle backwards, and create their product and then seek its market.

How To Turn Ebooks Into Money Makers & New Profit Centers

Create Your eBook Resale Right and Increase Your Wealth!

Apart from buying and selling professionally made eBooks, you may want to think about writing an eBook. Not anyone can do this and market it successfully because the truth is, people can take one look at your downloadable merchandise and determine its worth. Then again, I’ve seen some poor eBooks sold on the internet and have found that by constructing a very professional cover (many hire graphic artists), you can sell almost anything. It’s worth the money to hire a freelancer because people buy what looks good before they actually open the book. Wait! There is a flaw in this though…you’re going to get a bad name if you keep writing mundane eBooks. Some authors don’t even show their name, but then you know right away that they are not interested in promoting their brand or image – they want quick profits and will move onto the next project quickly.

There are many eBooks that are actually worth reading in my opinion, but I’m sure you’ve come across one or two that even you can write better. The fact is that the publishing industry needs innovative thinkers that can relate to today’s issues in a diverse way. There are a plethora of categories in the world available to write an eBook on: each with its own eBook resale right. You can sell the book and its resell right as part of the purchase price.

It is easier to sell an eBook on an internet website that has already been established -- preferably one that actually sell eBooks as well. An eBook is one of the most powerful ways to promote your business while educating people with the knowledge you already possess as a business owner of a specific product or service. Narrow your topic down to specifics and if possible, use your own life experiences to fuel the paragraphs. Titles should give specific direction and include specific numbers. For example, “Exterminate Your eBook Resale Right Competition In 30 Days For Only 30 Minutes A Day!” is better than, “Beat Your eBook Resale Rights Competitors”.

Remember that people reading the eBooks want simple ideas and they want you to provide new strategies because authors are people who understand the cyberspace eBook marketing world. These people are potential subscribers to your newsletters and eBooks, so ensure to write good content. Affiliates will also help to market your eBooks.

I’ve been giving you the impression that you can write and sell your eBook for profits. That’s true, but there’s also a better way to make money from creating your eBook resale right. What you do is actually give it away, and I’m sure you may have heard that before. Be careful here though – read many eBooks and do lots of research. If you take your time writing a quality eBook with personal experience (novice or experienced) so people can relate to you, as an individual. Solidfiy a few good relationships (affiliates) and include quality banners/links in the free eBook you fashioned. You get paid for any sales as a result of someone clicking your link and these can be quite profitable! These affiliates will help you advertise your eBook and help you drive more traffic to your website so that even passerbyers may buy your other products. Not to mention, affiliates will help you establish trustworthiness and will promote your name and internet business for you! You should, at this time, have your own website and products ready to sell.

There’s one last comment that I forgot to mention about eBook creation. Make your eBook interactive. Write useful, unique content and include fun games to tie the experience from the consumer to you. Create a crossword puzzle based on a particular subject or allow them to fill out a test that shows rated results, such as how smart they are in the eBook industry. Links and forms will top off the list and after you’ve created your new baby, give it away! Give like you owe your life to the Church and then give more! The more you do this, the more traffic and money you’ll make from your eBook resale right business.

Why eZine Advertisements Are Crazy Traffic Magnets For Your eBook Resale Rights

Look at what you are reading. You are reading an eZine article that you clicked probably while browsing the internet or specific eZine website. That’s why eZine advertising is so great, especially for your eBook resale right. Thousands flock to read eZine articles like they did when gossip magazines first came out. It’s one of the most cost effective ways to advertise and drive traffic to your website for a fair price…about $30 per advertisement. Similar to how regular magazines display pages of ads, eZines can do the same to a very targeted crowd.

The best thing about eZines is that they are read by everyone, in particular, many eBook resale rights sellers that have recognized the valuable information the practicality of the articles found in these websites. The articles are relatively short but to the point, and you have plenty of time to look at the surrounding advertisements.

Subscribers, including people like you, trust the eZine sites they visit; that is also one of the most important aspects in sales. Trust breaks the skepticism barrier and instills more confidence in the product/website/author/creator that the link leads to. Customers are more willing to buy something from someone they trust, like a friend referring a good doctor to you. I would usually take their advice and visit at least once…how about you?

Targeted traffic is what we’re after. This is another reason why eZine advertising is crazy for advertising your particular product/service. It’s because advertisements are strategically placed in the right categories and in the right places! If you can offer a way to solve a problem, or give people something they need, you will get that extra boost in traffic that you can’t get for the same price from somewhere else.

Places like PPC (pay per click) programs are fiercely competitive. Because of global competition in the major search engines, (Google, Yahoo) your results are not as targeted as eZine sites, and the result is the dilution of your specialized audience. There are just too many people selling via PPC, however there are some advantages to PPC, such as gaining greater brand awareness, worldwide.

People will start to recognize you either way you advertise. Soon, it will pay off and your eBook resale right will be worth the money you deserve, just by spending a few bucks something that works!

The last, most vital piece of advice is to pick an eZine website that is vast in subscribers and high in the search engines. Undoubtedly, eZineArticles.com and GoArticles.com are great to start because they have a superfluity of subscribers. Your cost will vary from about $5 to $30 per line. On average, you will pay $20 to place ads in high quality eZine sites, but I suggest that you invest a little more once you are ready for lots of people to visit your website. Do this once every 10 to 30 days and you will see great improvement in traffic and eBook sales. As an author or seller, your name is critical. Promoting in eZine websites is truly a remarkable method to increase the riches of your eBook resale right. If you keep advertising, people will continually click on your advertisements more and more!

Book Marketing - 4 Ways to Make Your Books More Profitable

Authors are always asking me how they can make more money. I’m here to tell you that it’s not by writing a new book, it’s by repurposing it. Repurposing is the key to making one idea many – it’s the metamorphisis of one concept into many others that appeal to a wide range of different markets. (Repurposing can even help you with your online book marketing strategy.)

It’s so much easier to find a new market than it is to find or write a new book. Repurposing material is an ingenious way to make money from a book. With each repurposing there’s more profit. And that’s the name of the game.

Here are four ways to repurpose your content and accelerate your profits:

Hard Cover Book

Creating a book out of repurposed content or a creating a compilation book is an inspired way to profit from a book. If you have anything that is collection-based, such as letters, articles, lectures, seminars or product reviews, you can create a compilation book. Compilations are created a lot in the music industry – think of your compilation book as your “greatest hits,” no matter the topic.

Soft Cover Book

A soft cover or paperback book is the repurposing of you hard cover book. Know that a soft cover is nothing more than a repurposed message that is more affordable to a certain segment of the market. And I’ll tell you something – many people who purchase hard covers also purchase soft covers.

Digital eBook

An eBook, or electronic book, is the digital equivalent of your printed book. eBooks are downloaded directly from the Internet as a PDF file and can be read on any computer or specialized eBook reading device. Many people prefer eBooks because they can pay, download the book and be reading it in moments. eBooks satisfy people’s want for things “now.” And for you – there is no cost to print, ship or store a printed book.

Audio

Audio is another powerful way to repurpose a physical or eBook. An audio CD is reading your book. Think of people driving in their cars on long trips. They obviously can’t read a book, but they can listen to an audio book. People during a commute can listen to audio content and make the most of their time in the car. Other digital formats you might look at as well include an AudioGenerato or an MP3 download format. No matter what the format – read your book.

(As a side note to these four ways of repurposing, I think everyone should have at least three virtual book tours to promote their books – one before the hard cover is launched, one when it is launched and one for the launch of the soft cover. You can even have events to launch you eBook and audio book. This is a great Internet marketing strategy all authors should be taking advantage of.)

Remember that your hard cover book, soft cover book, eBook and audio book are just a vehicle. You are the message and that’s what is most inspiring – no matter which way the content is repurposed.

How To Write eBooks - Without Being An Expert

So you've heard about many infopreneurs doing well, generating a steady income and building successful businesses writing e-books. And you wonder if you can begin without knowing the first thing about how to write ebooks.

More to the point, you're doubtful about it being possible - unless you're an expert at the topic of your ebook.

Read this article carefully - because I'm about to share with you a technique to writing e-books... without being an expert!

Step #1 - Pick Your Topic

The first step to writing e-books is to select a topic. Since you're going to learn how about writing e-books without being an expert, there is very little restriction on your field of choice. If you plan to sell it for profit, pick the most lucrative topics or fields. If you want mass-market reach, go for a popular theme.

In any case, make sure the topic or niche you are going into has a suitable audience for e-books. If your target audience is people who are not technologically advanced or cannot use computers or don't have Internet access, it would be hard to justify writing e-books for their needs.

Step #2 - Research Your Niche

No, I don't mean researching for information or knowledge. You are not going to become an 'instant expert' or anything like that. Instead, you are going to locate the best information resources in the subject on the Web.

Look for authority websites that are quoted and referenced often as sources of quality information. Search for authors of various articles who seem to know what they are talking about. Find experts or celebrities on the subject you plan on writing e-books.

Step #3 - Contact Them To Write Your e-Book

Shocked? Don't be. I'm not saying you'll just walk up or call and ask them: "Hey, want to help me writing e-books?" No, you'd just get laughed at!

You now have to make them an irresistible offer. Let's say you found a top expert who writes lovely content - but hasn't yet written or sold an ebook. You can contact this person, by phone, email or in person, and make an offer.

You could say:

"I'm planning on writing e-books about _____ to help people who are seeking the solution to specific problems. While researching on the Web, I found your site and notice you are an expert in this area.

Would you be interested in helping me in writing e-books, so we can sell it to my audience of eager buyers and share in profits? It will make you some extra money, plus you will get added exposure as a specialist to a crowd of prospects in your area of expertise. If this is of interest, please let me know."

Make it sound attractive, appealing and profitable to the expert - in terms of both money and fame.

Not everyone will be eager to help you or write ebooks for you. But some of them will, especially if they see it as extra income or increased exposure in their niche.

A quicker and easier way to do this is offer to interview the expert - in person or over the phone - and then transcribe the interview as an ebook.

Writing e-books does not require knowledge about how to write ebooks, or even expert status in your area. Being an infopreneur goes deeper, and involves seeking and identifying opportunities that you can exploit and explore - with the aid of technical experts, and using your own marketing knowledge and reach.

All you need is the ability to identify experts, convince them to work with you, and deliver on your side of the bargain. The larger your network, the easier you'll be able do this - which is another reason to learn more about being an infopreneur and growing your range of contacts and friends all the time.

eBook Writing - Laying the Foundation for Writing a Best-Selling eBook

It is not unusual for people to cringe when introduced to the idea of writing an ebook. "Oh no! I couldn't do that," they think to themselves, "I wouldn't know the first thing to write about."

My response to that is don't believe everything you think! The truth is, everyone has some area of expertise based on life experience that could be turned into an ebook, some people just need help finding it!

So don't despair! The great thing is that you can start from where you are and for only a small investment of time, begin to lay the foundation for churning out best-selling ebooks virtually overnight.

Here is a three-step exercise you can use to get started.

Step One: Identify Your Passion

Studies show that you substantially improve the odds of succeeding if you do things you are truly passionate about. Ultimately it's not just about money, it's about the pure joy and satisfaction you experience from doing these things. So figure out what you love and you will greatly increase your chances for success!

Step Two: Identify Your Skills

Look for specific training, education, work experience or life experience you have that could help you advance your passion.

Let's say you love jazz and you know how to play the piano. Is your knowledge of music theory and technique sufficient for you to write an instructional book for young pianists on improvisation, ploy rhythms and modal harmony?

Maybe you are an artist who loves painting in acrylic. You also have a knack for explaining things and are blessed with an inordinate amount of patience. You could combine these abilities to start an introductory art class on painting in acrylic.

Step Three: Identify Your Purpose

This is perhaps the most important of the three steps because it forces you to ask the question: Why? You must have a clearly-defined objective or you won't stay motivated and focused.

For the jazz pianist it could be to write a series of books on jazz theory and improvization; for the artist, it could be to one day open a school for artists who want to excel at working in acrylic.

The above three steps must be explored as a group to get the most benefit from the exercise. They are like the three legs of a stool, each needing the others for the stool to work as intended. Use this process to build your own platform. If done right, it could be the launchpad for your next ebook project.

Simple Audio Secrets - Is Audio Quality Important in your Internet Marketing efforts?

Is audio quality important?

Absolutely. And producing a quality product will help YOU to stand out from your competitors, as well as give your customers a product that is CLEAR and easy to understand.

One of the most basic skills in the world of video is the ability to make good, clean sound. You may have some of the best camera work, special effects, titles and graphics in your videos, but if your viewers can't understand what's being said, then all the hard work you put into the visuals will be in vain.

Consumers today spend a lot on their audio playback equipment. Whether it’s in our cars, our computers, our home theatre surround sound systems, or even the newest portable media player we take to the gym - we like our audio to sound good. And because professional recorded music is at such a high level of quality today, our ears are used to hearing great quality audio.

When it comes to video, it is a proven fact that good audio will improve how the consumer enjoys or perceives your product. Studies have compared identical videos; one with good audio and one with bad audio. The viewers were told to judge the quality of the VIDEO and provide their opinion on the difference in the two versions. Although the video quality was exactly the same, the test market said that the one with the better sounding audio actually looked better than the other. So audio really DOES affect how your video LOOKS!
