In this post she explains how to take a $37 ebook and turn it into a $100,000 a year business.

Really great tips on how to do that. For those of you who are interested in upsells in your business, as well as coaching, this might be the information you’re looking for.

For those who don’t understand what viral marketing is, it’s basically an overall strategy for getting your products and services advertised through word of mouth. You can combine several tactics, like article writing, affiliate programs, joint ventures, free reports, and other marketing techniques to make your products and services go viral.

What Viral Internet Marketing Unleashed will do for you is to help you create “buzz” about your products and services so that you can unleash a viral marketing strategy in your business.

The best part of viral marketing is that it’s free, and it’s very effective because it’s targeted traffic. What’s even better is that you can get others to market your products and services for you, and it’s free. Not only can you use this tactic to get more traffic, you can apply major leverage to your business and slash your advertising to zero.

It’s a very powerful way for you to market your business, and this is one of the absolute best strategies for you to market if you are a writer because it will help you build a loyal following of readers who will buy every book you write.

Simpleology: The Simple Science of Getting What You Want

I’ll be honest. The first time I took Simpleology 101, I didn’t get it. That was about two years ago.

Sometime last year, I wrote a blog post on Mark Joyner. I ended up connecting with Mark’s assistant, and Mark ended up reading my post.

The rest is history. Mark let me take the rest of the Simpleology Course, 102 and 103. Since then, I’ve completed the blogging course, and I’m taking the viral marketing course right now. I do Simpleology every workday, and it keeps me focused on my plan for my life. I no longer waste my time on "The Secret", metaphysics, or any of that other new age mumbo jumbo. I’m doing what works, and Simpleology works.

It works because it’s based on basic, common sense principles like knowing what you want. The funny, as in ironic thing about life, is that most people couldn’t tell you what they want. They simply don’t know because they’re too busy trying to get ahead as they are, they’ve been beaten down by life, or they’re afraid of success. It really could be for any reason. The road to success though isn’t paved by these things. It is paved by hard work, sacrifice, knowing what you want and then having a plan.

The beauty of Simpleology is that if you do it enough, and repetition is the key, you’ll know exactly what you want, and you’ll know what steps you need to take to get it. After that, it’s all about taking action.

How Mark Joyner helped me is that he gave me a blueprint for success, that, if you follow it, is a surefire plan for success. They more I follow it, the more money I see in my bank account, the more enthusiasm I have for what I’m doing, and the more energetic I feel.

Now, Nick Temple, another student of Mark’s has released a package of materials created by Mark. It’s the most comprehensive collection I’ve seen, and if you take the time to read and implement what Mark has to say, you’ll find incredible success.

The package includes:

The Confidential Internet Intelligence Manuscript - Volumes 1 and 2

How My Book Became a #1 Amazon Bestseller in 48 Hours

Ben Mack: A Rare Conversation

Think and Grow Rich

Think and Grow Rich Workbook

Sun Tzu’s The Art of War Audio

There’s also video included in this package.

Mark Joyner showed me how to get more business, more money, and have a better life. You can learn from him too.

Simpleology: The Simple Science of Getting What You Want

If you’ve recently published a book, or you’ve published one in the last few years, then you may want to consider entering it into the Writer’s Digest Competition.

This is the 16th self published competition that Writer’s Digest has offered. Although there’s a fee, if you’re looking for major publicity for your book, this might just be the ticket.

You can visit the link above and get all of the details.

I am fascinated by using videos to market my business online. One of my favorite book authors is Patrice-Anne Rutledge, the owner of The Websavvy Writer. One of the techniques she teaches is how to use videos to create a video book tour of your book.

The problem with using videos to market, once you learn how to make them, is distribution. It’s very time consuming to post your videos because you have to go to each site and upload the video. Uploading the video each time is very time consuming, and if you’re on dial-up, then forget it.

There is an easier way to do this though. You can upload your video to multiple sites at once. This means writing one description, and uploading your video to each of these sites simultaneously.

That’s what Video Traffic Assistant will do. It will make it easier for you to distribute your videos online to top video sites.

The best part is that it’s also free, and it will distribute your videos to 10 different video sites.

Now, if you want to put this technique on steroids, there is an inexpensive upgrade, currently for $47, and you can use it to upload your video to 30 different video sites.

If you use videos to market your business, then this is definitely a great way to save yourself a lot of time.

I’ll have to be honest; ever since I put music, as well as a Mustang Cobra on my MySpace profile, I’ve been getting a lot more new friends. The more friends you make at MySpace, the more people you have to connect with about your offers, as well as network with. I think this is a good thing.

Strong relationships online are important because many of the people you do business with you probably won’t ever get to meet, but it’s still nice to get to know them.

Now, if you’re new to marketing on MySpace, or you simply want to dress up your profile, then you need something to market, or you need a place to go to get some nice stuff for your profile.

This site provides all of that for free. You’ll find tweaks, videos, bulletins, backgrounds, and a ton of other tools to help you make money on MySpace.

For those of you who are interested in breaking into Web 2.0, and using it to market your business, then this is the way to do it. It’s easy, and it’s free.

As always I’m on the lookout for great tools and ebooks to help you with your marketing.

My new internet marketing friend Kanicen has an ebook available for you, no strings attached, that will tell you where to market your business using social networking, bookmarking, and videos.

You can download it from his site. No subscription required.

I have nothing against those who want to live the starving, tortured artist lifestyle. Plenty of our greatest artists ever, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Van Gogh, and others, were all tortured. They also created some of the greatest art that ever existed.

However, I live in the real world, and the fact is, the bills have got to get paid. If you’re a writer who wants to be a best selling author, either with books, articles, or whatever, why not pay your bills and do something you love: Writing?

Anyway, I’ve read a tons of books on starting a writing business, as well as plenty on freelance writing. However, in my opinion, my buddy, fellow Atlantan, Peter Bowerman is the best. He’s the author of the Wellfed Writer, Back for Seconds, and The Well Fed Self Publisher.

Peter has made some major changes to his site, including adding ebook versions of all of his books. The reason I’m posting this though is to let you know that you can get Peter’s books at a steep discount because apparently he quite a few dinged books on hand.

Usually, when the book is dinged there’s nothing more wrong with it than it’s been scratched, or the box the books were shipped in is damaged. However, these books can’t be sold at full price.

For writers who are looking for more money, or for those of you who want a change of career and love to write, then I recommend you check out Peter’s site. He really is the best, and he offers a free monthly ezine with lots of tips on freelance writing, as well as other information freelance writers would be interested in.

I don’t know how many books he has left at this time, so if you’re interested, I would check out this offer now.

The Well Fed Writer

I’ve seen a lot of products that were meant to teach you how to turn your digital products into physical products so that you can make a lot more money. The problem is that a lot of times the product is too expensive or it’s really not step by step, so if you’re trying to learn how to create your own physical products, you’ll have problems.

This product is absolutely one of the best I have ever seen, and it includes everything you need to get started. There’s no upsell for more expensive software, and if you’re new to product creation, you’ll still find it easy to get started.

You won’t learn product creation in this package. You learn that on the sites where he shows you to go to sell your stuff. Once you’ve created your first product, you get step by step instructions on how to set up your product so that you get the maximum amount of money from it. Once you’ve set up your product, you can automate the whole process and get a royalty check every month. You can even use what you learn to create products to sell on Ebay, products that will command you a whole lot more money.

One of the biggest problems I have in creating my own products is that I am graphics challenged. You’ll even learn how to get past this and create a product that is visually appealing.

If you’re looking to create your own physical products and make more money from your digital products, this is definitely for you.
