How To Create An Internet Presence In 10 Minutes
September 23, 2009 by C.F. Jackson
Filed under Keys to Success
When I started out on the internet in the late 90’s it wasn’t as easy as it is today
to get online and have a presence quickly.
There were ways to create websites, but without knowledge of HTML or the desire to
learn about web design it was a challenge.Most people invested large amounts of money
to have their websites designed.
Today any and everyone can create a web presence online overnight. Yes! You can
have a web presence overnight. However the key is this, doing it right.
I was online in the 2003, but it wasn’t right. The same struggles many are having
today, I didn’t know the key and pivotal elements to getting started online right.
How can one do it right?
1., Blog – Getting a blog is one of the fastest and cost effective ways to getting online
today.
Blogs are easy to update, which means there’s no need for a webmaster to make small
and minute changes.
The cost is either free, small base fee or you can host it yourself. It all depends your skill
level.
One thing, they are built to help you get started right. Search engines love blogs because
they fuel their engine with content.
2., Keywords – These are the keys your audience use in order to find you online. I didn’t
provide my target audience with a set of keys.
Let’s say you have a blog or a website and you’re not getting the results you want. It’s
possibility you haven’t defined your keywords.
This is where a lot of people go wrong online. This is where I struggled. Without keywords
and keyword phrases your website or your blog will forever be lost in the abyss.
These are two strategies I use to capture my target audience, to drive traffic, and build my
business. You can learn all seven key steps when you join me Thursday evening as I present
an online workshop titled 7 Key Steps On How To Get Started RIGHT As An Author Online
OVERNIGHT.,
In this workshop you’ll discover…,
- Key Elements to a Domain Name,
- Internet Presence In 10 Minutes,
- How to Increase Book Sales,
- How to Systematize Online Process,
- Powerful Customer Getting Methods,
- and a lot more,

How To Promote A Self-Published Book Online
Top Four Key Success Factors of Online Business
Can Cross Selling Be Harmful?
September 9, 2009 by C.F. Jackson
Filed under Keys to Success
Can cross-selling a book or a product really be marketing suicide? Frankly in my opinion, yes it can. When visiting a website and seeing near the bottom “customers who bought this book also like” or “we also recommend reading” or “frequent purchases with this book” tend to be quite irritating. What this exposes to me is more of a marketing ploy than taking the actual time to understand your customer’s needs.
Okay so you bought a book and may need some other compelling texts on your website to market along with your newly (or soon-to-be) published work. This is not exactly the best way to go about your book marketing. You have now indicated that you don’t feel confident that your new text can lure your intended audience and you need a “big name” to bring it in. Moreover, often times I believe most have not even read texts which they cross-sell. It may be the same subject matter or be from the same author or have a term such as “Chinese seamstress” in the title so both texts must share the same likeness right? Of course we all know this not to be the case.
Final Thoughts: It would be in your best interest not to cross-sell your first of many texts with other irrelevant material. If you feel the need to cross-sell at least do so with your own works. If you are having trouble coming up with that next big idea, join a book club or attend a seminar for some inspiration. By doing this, you can easily fill the pipeline and start on your road to success!

How to Write a Book in 3 Simple Steps
September 2, 2009 by C.F. Jackson
Filed under Keys to Success
Does initially writing a book seem like a daunting task? Rest-assured it often is, but don’t let the mere thought of it stop you. Rest-assured a book is going to consist of your informational insight, a wild imagination or your real-life experiences. Those are the core subject matter and the genres are simply sub-categories of what you write. So do you have your plan written yet?
What?! Well…start it! A book is a product just like anything else and you need to have a plan of action of how to proceed after the book enters the marketplace. This will be your blueprint to success and potential maximum profits should you market correctly. (I will cover how to in depth at a later date).
You must now identify your target audience. Here are three simple ways to do this:
-
Identify your genre. If you are writing a how-to this is probably meant to solve a problem. For whom? If you are writing a fictional piece what is the sub-genre. Perhaps it is fantasy. Then you’ll know to market to those who may like science-fiction or a similar product.
-
What is the age? Obviously by your writing style, you are meant to target a mature or a younger audience. This should be identifiable once you begin brainstorming your material.
-
By this point, you have already started to look out for publishers. Which ones entice you and why? They most likely entice you based on the reasoning of their fees, whether they are open to seasoned or new writers and who they market to.
Simply by doing this, you have taken away a lot of stress because you can now focus your energy specifically on a target and fulfill their needs and wants.
Make certain not to cram too much into one book (especially if it is a how-to). Your audience will be much more appreciative if your well-thought plan is covered in two or three texts instead of forced into one read.
Initially, select two nights a week to write and adhere to that schedule. Pick a certain time like 6-9 pm on a Tuesday and head somewhere with the least amount of distraction. Perhaps you can find a secluded corner in the library and focus entirely on the writing. If you feel tired, take a break and don’t force it. I find the best reads are those where the author narrates and tells the story with a natural feel.
So just let it happen. By doing some research and putting effort into it but not scaring yourself out of the commitment, you’ll be fine and be very successful in your new endeavor as an author.
