If you already have self published books, chances are you’re looking for effective online marketing book strategies to help sell your book. You’ve spent hours brainstorming, writing, editing and publishing your book. Now what? Now it’s time to let people know that your book exists. Even if you have a great book, it doesn’t matter if no one knows about it.

So, how can you gain more fans and sell more books through online marketing book strategies?

Consider a “Virtual Book Tour” (Guest Blogging)

What is a “Virtual Book Tour” anyway? Basically it is a blog tour where you share guest posts on different blogs to promote you, your blog, your products and your books.

The Top 3 Reasons Why Should You Consider Guest Blogging

1) It’s free. Who doesn’t want free book marketing, right? However, you do have to spend your time researching and writing the posts, but you don’t have to pay for the advertising you will get from these posts.

2) It’s forever. Your guest post will remain on that blog forever to promote you, your products and your books.

3) It’s fun. Not only do you get tons of increased blog traffic, exposure, new fans and new customers but you also meet some amazing people in your field of expertise. I have found it fun to network and get to know the other key players in my niche. I have even done many self publishing interviews with them on my site as well.

Tips to an Effective Guest Blogging Tour

If you are going to invest the time into scheduling a guest blogging tour and writing the posts, you’ll want to make the most out of this online marketing book idea.

Here are three tips:

1) Do your research. Your tour will be much more effective if you choose high traffic, popular blogs. You know that a blog is popular by finding out their Google page rank and Alexa ranking. In the beginning, you may still want to target a few smaller blogs, but don’t be afraid to approach the authority blogs in your niche!

2) Provide high quality content. Be a great guest and provide unique, high quality content for your host. Don’t use PLR or an article you posted to a directory. Make yourself stand out by putting your best foot forward.

3) Develop a plan. You will need to plan how long your tour will be and develop a schedule for your tour. If you are doing a longer tour, you will need tools to help you stay organized. Use what works best for you whether it’s an Excel spreadsheet, a Word document or pen and paper.

Private label rights (PLR) packages like Mom PLR eBooks make publishing and marketing e-books easier than ever. No wonder, many Internet marketers are making fortunes selling eBooks.

E-Book can boost your business in many more ways, besides just selling it as an eBook?

Here are 26 ideas for how one eBook can boost your business:

1. Break up the eBook into blog posts or articles for your site. Publishing fresh content frequently is a good way to build up traffic.

2. Use content from the eBook to respond to questions in Yahoo! Answers and discussion forums in your market. And don’t forget to add a link to your site.

3. Turn the eBook into a training tool for your affiliates. Good affiliates are essential to your business.

4. Pull out content from the eBook to create a Squidoo lens, Hub Page and Google Knol. These Web 2.0 platforms are excellent sources of back links to your site.

5. Rewrite parts of the eBook into unique articles and submit to Ezine Articles, Lady Pens, Associated Content, Go Articles, and other article directories. More quality back links for your money pages.

6. Break up the eBook into an e-course. You can either sell or give away the e-course.

7. Take parts of the eBook and use them in your email newsletter or Ezine.

8. Give away the eBook to build up a mailing list. Readers will gladly give their email addresses for an eBook that addresses their problems.

9. Offer the eBook as a bonus for a paid product. Increase the value of your product.

10. Give the eBook away as an unannounced bonus to your customers. They’ll love you for it and will be happy to buy from you again.

11. Take the most actionable parts of the eBook and create a printed promotional postcard, flyer or newsletter.

12. Rewrite the eBook for a more specific niche, such as “stay at home Moms,” “Moms of multiples,” “Moms of teens,” “homeschooling Moms,” etc. Create a new stream of income from another market.

13. Sell the eBook as a printed book through Lulu.com. Be where few Internet marketers are.

14. Expand the eBook into a self-study course, by creating mindmaps, cheatsheets and step-by-step guides.

15. Break up the eBook into an audio or teleseminar series, which you either sell or give away.

16. Transform each chapter of the eBook into a podcast via iTunes. Podcasts increase your authority, drive traffic to your site, and warm up listeners to your offer.

17. Use the eBook to create a slideshow or screen capture video. Use the video to market your product or service on video sharing sites like YouTube.

18. Read the eBook to create an audio product. Sell it as a digital product, or a preloaded mp3 player. You’ll stand out from your competition.

19. Translate the eBook into another language, and sell it in other countries.

20. When preparing for a media interview, get content from the eBook to build your key messages.

21. Distill the eBook into a special report to either sell or give away.

22. Get the best nuggets of content from the eBook and turn them into Twitter tweets. Add a link to your site or squeeze page.

23. Use the eBook as a reference material when writing a press release.

24. Transform the eBook into a white paper, which explains your product or service to your target market.

25. Bundle the eBook with other eBooks about related topics, to create a comprehensive home study course.

26. Break the eBook content down into group coaching sessions you give through teleconference, teleseminar or webinar format. Charge for the group coaching, or give free access to build your list.

As you can see, an eBook can boost your business in so many ways. If you’ve only been using an eBook as an eBook, you’re missing out. That eBook can be repurposed, transformed, re-targeted and monetized in so many ways. Even a single eBook can do so much for your business.

If you don’t want to write your own eBook or hire a ghostwriter to do it for you, then using PLR content is your answer. PLR is the most affordable and fastest way to get an eBook and other content for your biz.

If you’re in the Mommy market, then you have to check out Mom PLR eBooks, because you have PLR on everything, you can edit, rewrite and transform the content any way you like – and even put your name on it.

The first thing you want to do is look through several of PLR articles in your niche and find useful information to put together one article for your newsletter. You can usually find several paragraphs that, when rewritten, make up one good article. Take one or two paragraphs from each article and put them in a logical order to create your newsletter article. The next thing you want to do is rewrite each paragraph.

Continue to do this with each paragraph and in no time you can have a good quality article that shows your own unique style to add to your newsletter. Once you have your article written, you will want to decide on a good title that explains what it is about. Your title is the most important part of your article as it will determine whether or not someone will take time to read it. You need to build interest by getting your subscriber’s attention with your title.

Tip: Rework the titles from each article and use them as subheadings for your larger article.

The more you use PLR articles to write your own unique content the faster you will get at it. It is possible to write articles in 15 minutes or less using PLR, make them completely different and add your own style to them. Once you get good at this you’ll wonder why you didn’t use all that content collecting virtual dust on your PC sooner.

“I started my business so that I’d have freedom, but I’ve never felt more trapped….”

I come across a statement like that at least once a day on a forum post or in email. You start your internet business because of the freedom of being your own boss and working on your own schedule and then promptly sit on your hind-end for 12 hours/day EVERY DAY. No wonder you feel burnt out. And no wonder family and friends are feeling neglected when all you can think and talk about is your business.

Freedom sounds pretty miserable to me if it means freedom from fun and the ones that I love. So, how do you break free?

Start by taking a good look at your business and getting your goals and priorities straight. Don’t worry, it’s not nearly as complicated as it sounds. I’ll walk you through it right now. Ready?

Grab a pen and a piece of paper or open your favorite word processor.

Divide your page into four columns. Now you’re ready to brainstorm. Write everything down as it comes to mind. Don’t overthink this. Just start writing.

First, figure out what is working. Whatever it is. It may be one of your websites, your ecourses, a joint venture, a certain marketing method. Where is the bulk of your money coming from, currently? (If none yet, where do you believe will be the place where the largest profits will come from?) Write those items in column #1 under: “Do More”.

Second, figure out what is not bringing in money. Is it hanging out on forums or posting classified ads to freebie sites? Is it endlessly checking your stats, or email? What are your daily time-suckers? Write those under column #2: “Do less”.

Third, figure out what could work better. Do you have upsells in place? Are your websites designed to bring you cash from every visitor? Make a list of ideas in column #3: “Improvements”. (If you don’t know yet, don’t worry. There are plenty of ways to improve your business as you learn and grow.)

Fourth, figure out what can be automated. Which tasks are repetitive and boring, albeit necessary? Many of those types of tasks can be automated with simple tools. For instance, if you’re submitting articles to directories by hand, there are tools and services to do that for you. Add these to column #4: “Automation”.

Now that you’re armed with your list, it’s time to get to work.

Look at your list in Column #1: “Do More”. Those are the tasks that you should focus your energies on. It’s a good idea to tackle one or two of the tasks on that list first thing in the morning – every morning. Believe me, it’s much more productive than checking out your favorite blogs or logging into twitter. And you’ll be amazed at how much you can get done quickly when your mind is fresh.

Look at your list in Column #2: “Do Less”. These activities should be forbidden until after you get your #1 list done, if you do them at all. For instance, hanging out on Twitter is fun, but do not do it until everything in column #1 is finished for the day.

Now, go back to Column #1, 3, and 4. Your “Do More”, “Improvements”, and “Automation” lists. Look at all of the items that are on those three lists. Now, circle each task that you …

• Can’t Do
• Don’t Have Time to Do
• Don’t Want To Do

Those are the tasks that you’ll outsource. Freedom means a lot of things. It means freedom to do the things that you want to do. However, it also means freedom to NOT do things that you really dislike doing.

For me, it’s graphics. I have outsourced all of my graphics since 2001. I don’t have the time, patience or inclination to learn how to make my own graphics. I have more important things to do, like write this article and then go on a bike ride with my son. Perhaps when I get back from my bike ride, my graphics will be waiting for me in my in-box. Now, that’s freedom to me.

Want to outsource but don’t know where to start? Nicole Dean invites you to www.OutsourceWeekly.com where you’ll learn how you can get free time (and earn more money) while others run your business for you.

Lucky for us, things are no longer this way and the internet is now an open medium where just about anyone can have a presence and communicate with their audience of choice.

Still, even today, it is sometimes difficult to get on the net if you don’t have at least a little experience. It doesn’t have to be too complicated though and these tips will help you get started.

Building a web presence the easy way:

Don’t over-complicate things – You really don’t need a flashy website or a super-impressive one to communicate with your audience. In fact, a simple website that is personal and an extension of your personality is a win/win proposition.

At the start don’t worry about building a website that is absolutely perfect. All businesses and websites evolve over time. The web is a changing place and you’ll periodically update your business and website as you go along. So there is really no need to aim for absolute perfection at the start.

Instead keep it simple, and concentrate on building a website that connects with its audience and carries your own unique voice and personality.

Communication is key – More important than your overall look is how you communicate with your audience. Aim to be professional while maintaining a friendly tone. Above all, be yourself. You’re not going to please or connect with everyone that visits your site, but by being uniquely you, you’ll forge a stronger connection with the people that do relate to you.

Communication doesn’t have to be difficult, simply write how you speak. Remember to write as though you were having a chat with a close friend over coffee. Communication on the internet is less about writing to please your English teacher and more about writing to connect with people – the best way to connect with someone is to let down your guard, be yourself and just state your point.

Use easy tools that remove the brain work. There are many tools available now to help you build your web presence the easy way. Don’t worry about learning HTML or other complicated programs. You really don’t need to know how these things work or spend time learning “techy” details that won’t add much value to your business overall.

Instead, look for tools that minimize your effort and maximize your time. This allows you to spend time adding value where you really need to add it. Using easy tools also means that you’re more likely to stick to the task at hand. Your overall life will be easier and you’ll have more time to spend on the tasks and activities you enjoy.

And if you’re looking for a great tool to help make building a website that helps you connect with your market effortlessly, try the Internet Based Family Easy Website Builder . It includes online support and full training to help you build a profitable website from the ground up – no technical or previous experience required!

But, with a little bit of extra effort you could have the ability to turn your info products into a tidy little profit. How does that sound?

Ok, here’s the thing, you already know what you should do (you’ve created your ebook or perhaps you started your membership site) and you even know why you are doing it –to help folks out with their problem or what they are looking for (and of course to make money).

But, do you really understand or know HOW you to get your ebook to your audience, in a way that will not only have paypal zinging emails to you all day long, but will also have your audience – the people on your list- waiting with money in hand for your next info product? No?

Well, my friend, Nicole Dean does.

As a matter of fact she’s been doing it since 2007 with great success. If you don’t know Nicole you should stop reading & Google her name RIGHT NOW – (go ahead, I’ll wait, but don’t forget to come back here).

So what did you find out? Good stuff right? Ok, so now that you know a little more about her…. you know that Nicole makes a really good six-figure income from her information product empire (as well as many other diversified income streams). Nicole knows what it takes to successfully market a quality product and she’s ready to take you by-the-hand (and behind-the-scenes of her own business) to show you exactly how she does it in her Information Products:Uncovered course.

You could continue on as you’re doing and keep getting the same slow/low results you’re getting. Or…..

You could let Nicole help you. Nicole is offering to help you avoid painful marketing mistakes that are costing you:

> Lost sales
> Lost customers, and
> Lost opportunities.

Nicole just opened the doors and for a limited time you can get complete access to her Information Products: Uncovered for only $10 per month.

This is a great deal, considering she charges $500/hr for her consulting services. So if that is not enough to convince you, here is what your $10/month gets you:

==> A monthly lesson showcasing step-by-step one particular facet of her very successful online business, including case studies and tips for applying her steps to YOUR business; (Real emails from real super-affiliates showing you how they get the job done. The case studies are worth the price alone)

==> Full access to ask questions about the monthly content and have them answered the following month; (You get to ask questions that you need answered – that’s almost like having Nicole as your very own business adviser)

==> FREE submission access to FreeAffiliateArticles.com, so she can recruit affiliates for you. (If you have an affiliate program then you understand how valuable this perk is!)

And if I know Nicole..…. she’ll be sharing a ton of really cool stuff some of which she hasn’t even thought of yet. If you’ve ever purchased one of her products or services then you know she always goes above & beyond.

Your membership begins the minute you sign up, and I don’t want you missing a single month of the information Nicole has to share with you so get signed up right away that way you won’t kick yourself in the pants later.

So, are you happy where you are right now, making a few sales each month or would you rather step things up, put in a little extra work and do what it takes to create your very own six-figure information product business!

Only you can make it happen. Take action today! ===> Income CPR
