Great
day, I have Brayden for a few hours while his
Mommy
has to go out of town. Hard to believe he will
be six
weeks old tomorrow. He is so neat now, he
responds
to my voice and even turns his head and
looks
around for me if I am not, by some weird chance,
already
holding him, lol. With my precious Madison
so very
far away, I am probably enjoying him even
more
since I can really appreciate him being two
BLOCKS
away from me instead of her 94 MILES!

E-books
and Affiliate Programs
Some
E-books combine very well with an affiliate program.
When
the affiliate receives some extra benefit from
promoting
the viral message, like being able to brand your
E-book
with his affiliate links, the affiliate makes a sale
when a
reader buys through a branded link. You benefit from
increased
traffic on your website because the affiliate is
willing
to promote the E-books for you.
Be
absolutely certain that your message includes a clear
call to
action. There should not be any doubt whatsoever
about
what you intend recipients to do. Make sure that the
instructions
are perfectly clear so that recipients know
HOW to
act. The action that you require should be simple
and
obvious as well. Don’t make things complicated or it
will
confuse the reader, such as by adding numerous links.
Remember
the K.I.S.S. principle, "Keep It Simple Stupid!"
The
incentive should be clear to those you want to take an
action.
Readers will look at your offering for about seven
seconds
before they move on. If it takes longer than that
for
them to figure out what it is you want them to do, they
will
move on. Don’t make your message vague or difficult to
comprehend.
If you do, chances are you will lose them. You
must
respect your readers enough to express your message
clearly.
Once
you are sure you have an E-book that will be of value
to an
affiliate program, approach them with your idea and
be able
to show that it will be mutually beneficial.
Viral
Marketing using E-books is one of many techniques
that
all together have a cumulative effect in attracting
customers
and subscribers to your business and in
attracting
targeted visitors to your website. You will
very
soon find out that this is an excellent way of
increasing
sales, subscribers and referrals.

Feedback
Jan,
Read
your blog ...I feel such compassion for you during
this
most difficult time of loss. Almost all of us can
relate
to the empty spaces in our heart when our favorite
people
pass on. It is a comfort to know they are now in a
much
better place and their spirits will always be with us.
Bless
you!

thanks for your continued friendship and support,
I hope
you have some inkling how much it AND YOU mean to me.

Yes, of
course I care. I may be silent, but you are always
included
in my thoughts and prayers! I forgot to offer my
2cents
on your declaring bankruptcy...I think you are doing
the
right thing. One of the most stressful experiences I
ever
had in my life (including a rotten marriage) was
financial
problems. Peace of mind is wonderful and not
to be
taken for granted! There are so many that can offer
you
better advice than I. You will survive as life goes on
and new
avenues present themselves.
Take
care my friend!
Faye

Four
Good Reasons to Use Viral e-books
It is a
well known and widely accepted fact that e-books-
FREE
e-books - are one of the best weapons in a viral
marketing
campaign arsenal. Here are four good reasons
why
this is true today and will continue to be true
for the
foreseeable future:
1. e-books are cheap to produce and don’t take
long to
set up.
If you have articles that you have already written
about
the subject you are promoting, you can simply combine
these
articles into an e-book. If, on the other hand,
writing
is not your forte, you can use rebrandable e-books
that
have been produced by others. Just use your favorite
search
engine and do a web search for “rebrandable e-books”.
You
will get a lot of hits and have many to choose from.
One way
to distribute these e-books to visitors to your
website
is to give them as a free gift for subscribing
to your
newsletter. If your e-book contains material that
people
will want to share with their friends and family,
they
will pass it along to them; they will pass it along
to
others, etc. and you will make money.
2. e-books are capable of reaching a large
audience.
The
only limiting factor is the enthusiasm of the
participants.
Therefore, it is absolutely vital that
your
e-book contain something that people will want to
share,
like timely information or humor. Remember that
people
like to know something that the rest of the world
might
NOT know. They will pass along something that makes
them
look like they are in-the-know.
3. e-books are a way to sell other products
other than
the one
you originally targeted. For example, if you are
selling
garden products, your customers could also be
interested
in books about lawns, trees landscaping, etc.
4. e-books are effective in building your
reputation.
It is
an implied recommendation if you give a quality
e-book
and users willing pass on to others.
