manage campaigns and analyze performance. The choice of tools depends on the specific needs and 
goals of your marketing strategy.

Focusing on eBooks, here are proven ideas you can use to get started: 
Idea #1: Industry update report. If major changes have recently happened in your industry or if there are any major developments on the horizon. An industry update report can be a great way to get your name associated with new trends and developments.

Idea #2: Industry resource guide. A resource guide can be really helpful to people who are just getting started in your industry, or who are looking for new contacts, ideas, or opportunities. You can develop a strong reputation for yourself as a reliable "industry insider" whom people can approach when they're 
looking for resources. 

Idea #3: Interviews with industry experts. Everyone loves to hear what the leaders in their industry are doing. All you have to do is send out a few emails to people in your field to share their experiences with you. With this type of eBook, you'll have 100% exclusive, original content. You can also ask for their tips on how to solve common problems and obstacles in your field, which is sure to appeal to your potential readers!

Idea #4: "How-to" instruction guides. Go ahead and write your own eBook that teaches people a hard-to-learn skill or helps them get started in your field of expertise. You could create a user manual for a product or the alternate uses for common products.

Idea #5: Reviews of industry products. Product reviews are becoming indispensable resources in the 
online shopping community. People love to read reviews of products before they buy them. 

Great ideas, choose the one that appeals to you most and run with it!

Information Product

Information is by far the most profitable kind of product you can sell online. 
When you sell "hard" products that require physical delivery, you have to deal with the cost and hassle of manufacturing, stocking, and packaging -- not to mention shipping your product. And all those things take a serious bite out of your profit margin.

The vast majority of Internet users go online to search for information. Which means that by selling highly sought-after information on your website, you're giving people exactly what they're looking for! And that's a recipe for online success. 

You can set up your order form and "shopping cart" system to automatically process the order, put the money in your bank account, and electronically deliver your product to the customer.

Your customers will be especially attracted by the promise of instant gratification. They won't have to wait when you sell information in the form of an electronic "eBook,"

It's the perfect "hands-free" business! ... And you don't even have to be a writer!

- You can hire someone else to do the writing for you
- You can create an "interview compilation" book
- You can compile articles written by other people

How do you get permission from the authors? 
Simply explain to them that your eBook will provide great publicity for them with full credits and 
let them know the distribution channels for the final product.

Once your eBook business becomes profitable, you can start adding more products to the back end.
This is the fastest way to make a solid online income with your own products.

I wish You Great Success.

Advertising and Promotions 2

Advertisers, especially those with small budgets, can't afford to waste money on ineffective buys. 
In order to optimize your advertising buys, you need to concentrate on improving your creativity.

Here are some tips that might help:
Step 1: Define clear goals of your advertising campaign, the most important aspect of any advertising campaign is to have a clear objective in mind. You may be targeting a specific group of people, your 
initial aim may be to target at least 1000 views. Have a well-defined purpose.

Step 2: Identify the most effective sites for achieving your goals. Sites that are most relevant to 
your product or service will be your best bet; but also consider larger sites or networks if you have multiple products or services that appeal to various target markets. 

Step 3: Craft your message to fit the needs of the audience you're targeting. This comes down to understanding the audience of the sites you're advertising on. The message you use on a technology site to appeal to technologically savvy customers won't have the same appeal for social site. 

Step 4: Pay particular attention to the content of the Ad. The content should be such that it clearly distinguishes your product or service from your competitors'. Have a catchy headline. 
The headline is probably the most important part of the Ad.

Step 5: Formulate the specific promotional messages that correspond to your goals. The promotional 
messages should concentrate on the major selling points of your product or service and have a 
strong call-to-action.

Step 6: Make the desired action clearly visible.
This certainly doesn't mean the desired action should necessarily bounce or flip, but it should be visible within an accepted format for the media outlet. 

Step 7: Design the ad so it looks like it belongs on the sites where you're advertising for instance, you may want to use the site's font faces in your text, color schemes in your background, font color choices overall, and emulate images where appropriate. Try to conform to the environment so potential customers visiting the site don't gasp in shock when they see your ad.

Step 8: Produce multiple versions of each ad, changing the promotional message, call-to-action, font faces and color schemes. This is especially important if you're doing price testing or gauging reaction to specific promotions. By splitting your advertising buy among the various versions of your creative, you can then start to optimize your buy based on the message that works best.

With these tips, you will not only be able to create an ad, but you will be able to create an effective ad that does what it is supposed to do - sell your products and services.
