searching for ways on how market a<br />
book online. Like every other entity<br />
online it&#8217;s about names and emails.</p>
<p>Today, we&#8217;re covering one of the<br />
simplest book marketing technique<br />
that&#8217;s many overlook when marketing and promoting online.</p>
<p>The key to remember is this: &#8220;Most people don&#8217;t make a<br />
purchase on the first visit. It takes between one and seven<br />
times.&#8221;</p>
<p>It’s about providing value. I mentioned this last week!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">So your manuscript is sold and you have sent it to a publisher for touch-up.  What is missing?  Ah…it’s a cover for your new glorious text.  Well…what’s the big deal I can let my publishers take care of that aspect right?  Not so fast.  You’re the author.  Therefore, you have the granted power to make authorial decisions.   Do not leave it strictly in the publisher’s hands.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><a href="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/book-cover-3d-book-covers.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1310 alignnone" title="book-cover-3d-book-covers" src="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/book-cover-3d-book-covers.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="212" /></a></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">What lures most potential customers to buy a book?  Is it the content?  Sometimes it may be the content.  After all, myself I like to read the synopsis of the book before making my purchase decision.  But ultimately it is the book cover right?  Much like the old adage “you eat with your eyes” the same is true for books.  Something with visual appeal regardless of the content is much more likely to be sold over a drab cover.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">However, you may have that colorful eye-catcher in mind but does it fit with the story?  I cannot tell you how many times I’ve run across texts that have a cover which is may consist of vivid imagination and then the story’s plot may be that of a funeral or disease.  By this point I am thinking “Whoa there.  If <em>that</em> wasn’t even planned well, how will the book read?”</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">This is perhaps the most over-looked marketing technique when it comes to marketing your book.  And the fact is, publishers like when you can incorporate your own idea or even your own design because that’s less work for them to do.  If you know a graphic designer or what’s more are one; perfect!  You are now on your way to making that book jump off the shelf or off the web page a little quicker!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you screamed, &#8220;<a href="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/2009/07/5-ways-to-increase-your-website-traffic/" target="_self">I need traffic to my website</a>!&#8221;? With over 500 million Google searches taking place daily: How do you get traffic to your website?</p>
<p><a href="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/i-need-traffic-to-my-website.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1242" title="i-need-traffic-to-my-website" src="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/i-need-traffic-to-my-website.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="212" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s evident that anybody could own a website because there are millions online today. With the internet being the fastest growing information vehicle everyone is taking it for a ride.</p>
<p>Think about it! How many people do you know are using the internet to sell their own products and services to reach their target market? How many of these individuals place strong efforts to promote their website with a low marketing budget?</p>
<p>Out of the millions of websites on the internet today, the vast majority aren&#8217;t experiencing continuous traffic all day through. What these individuals or businesses lack are the most essential factors of success – applicable and practical techniques that work.</p>
<p>I give kudos to those who have mastered the ability to capture website traffic every hour. However, should you be in need of assistance to increase your traffic, here are few affordable and practical techniques.</p>
<p>Search Engine Submission is one of the most basic and practical techniques anyone can implement.</p>
<p>This is an inexpensive method of traffic generation through the use of search engines. The action is just as it reads, which is submitting your website to search engines. There are two types of search engine submission – manual and automatic.</p>
<p>- Manual Search Engine Submission &#8211; the process of visiting each search engine and submitting your website, by filling out the required information.</p>
<p>- Automatic Search Engine Submission &#8211; completing the require fields, the software or web based service would forward the information to other search engines</p>
<p>A few other practical techniques to increase website traffic to your website are:</p>
<p>- Banner Advertisement</p>
<p>- Classified ads</p>
<p>- Text links</p>
<p>- Section sponsorship</p>
<p>These techniques will cost more, but these methods will help you reach your target audience wherever they frequent the most on the internet.</p>
<p>This is a process, so remember that the effects of these practical traffic generation techniques will grow over a time span, so be sure to monitor your website traffic to learn which methods and techniques are working. The time is now; find an effective and affordable traffic generation technique to increase your current results on the internet today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know about the number seven, when it comes to <a href="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/2009/07/why-turning-a-website-visitor-into-a-subscriber-is-important/" target="_self">book marketing</a>? To turn a web visitor into a customer it would take at least seven times to see your ad, product, and/or service to build trust and brand recognition with you.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s something to think about. When an individual visits your website and leaves, it&#8217;s very likely that they won&#8217;t return, even more so without any enticing or compelling reasons to do so. Think about it.  There are so many distractions just on the Internet alone. So many that we can lose our train of thought in just 90 seconds. Can you imagine remembering a website from two days ago?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/why-turning-a-website-visitor-into-a-subsciber-is-important-book-marketing1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1234 aligncenter" title="why-turning-a-website-visitor-into-a-subscriber-is-important-book-marketing1" src="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/why-turning-a-website-visitor-into-a-subsciber-is-important-book-marketing1.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="212" /></a></p>
<p>The point is this: It&#8217;s very unlikely a website visitor will return. Let&#8217;s say you receive traffic of 1,000 website visitors to your website, but they leave and don&#8217;t return. Think about the possible lost in profits and sales, due to the fact that they don&#8217;t come back. Look at the possibility to have converted a percentage of the visitors into new clients or customers.</p>
<p>Creating quality content is the popular strategy in order to keep website visitors coming back. Often times, quality content isn&#8217;t the answer. The ultimate long-term solution lies in converting a website visitor into a new subscriber so you can start building a relationship.</p>
<p>The ultimate goal for any website owner is this:</p>
<p>1. Collect names and email addresses</p>
<p>2. Generate Sales</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve generated your first sale when your visitor makes the decision to subscribe to your mailing list. Now, this is your opportunity to follow up with them and allow them to:</p>
<p>- Know<br />
- Like<br />
- Trust you</p>
<p>At the end of the day, the goal is to convert as many website visitors into subscribers as possible, then convert this into potential revenue as you build a strong rapport through emails.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost everyone who has been marketing online knows that the lifeblood of <a href="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/2009/07/5-ways-to-improve-sales-through-your-website/" target="_self">book marketing</a> and internet marketing is the traffic of a site. More visitors equal more sales. However, here are some ways that you can tweak your sites with to improve sales as you continue to strive to get more visitors.</p>
<p><a href="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1208" title="improve-sales-how-to-sell-fiction-online" src="http://websitemakeoverworkshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/improve-sales-how-sell-fiction-online.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="212" /></a></p>
<p>The first method is to weave in your personal touch in your sales message. Nobody wants to be sold to by a total stranger, but many people will buy what their close friends recommend to them. If you can convince your audience that you are a personal friend who has their best interest at heart, they will be convinced to buy your books, products, or services. Remember to speak to an individual in your salesletter, not to your whole audience.</p>
<p>The second method is to publish testimonials and comments from your customers. A good idea would be to publish both good and bad comments; that way potential customers will be really convinced that these testimonials are real. When potential customers see testimonials on your website, they will have the confidence to buy from you because human beings follow the herd mentality; when others have bought and proven it authentic, they will jump on the bandwagon and buy too.</p>
<p>Use visual representations for the problems and solutions that your product offers. Not everyone will read your text copy from the head to the tail, but most people will pay attention to images, video and audio on your website.</p>
<p>Offer quality bonuses to accompany the product. When you offer bonuses that complement your product, your potential customers will feel it&#8217;s a very good deal and it would be stupid to miss it. Be sure to state the monetary value of your bonuses so that people will be even more compelled to grab your good bargain.</p>
<p>Lastly, ask for the sale! Many people entice their potential customers with the benefits of their product, sell to them with stories of how it has solved many problems, even offered killer bonuses but forget to ask for the sale. Give a clear instruction on how to buy your product (e.g. &#8220;click the button to buy now!&#8221;).</p>
