I believe this how to sell more books article will really help.

Sometimes ago, i discovered i have placed all my attention of selling more books on our online activities alone and as a result of this, our offline books sales were reducing.

Yes it is really very easy and more convenient to sell books online than offline but there are many advantages of selling books offline too. It can bring a huge back-end business activities that will really give you lots of profits.

After this observation, myself and my team had to rearrange our schedule to include more offline book selling activities.

. These are the simple steps you have to take to kick start your affiliate ebook selling business .

You need to look for eBooks whose contents are related to the theme of your website. For example, I teach Christian success principles. Now if I have to sell eBooks of others as an affiliate, I should be looking at eBooks whose theme and contents are related to topics like, Christian motivation, Christian inspiration, Faith, and so on.

all the best with your marketing

Thanks brother. Are you an author?

I believe this ebook -marketing article will be of benefit to you and your online ebook selling business.
1. Find out a repuatble ebook -selling paltform online to distribute your ebooks. There are many of these now and most of them give room for pre-orders. You should go on a search online. You should also ensure that this platform have laid down plans to distribute your ebooks to as many e-book selling platforms online.

2. Take a look at your publishing schedule for the next 12 months. Get all planned releases up on assetless preorder ASAP. The longer your book is available as a preorder, the more time you have to accumulate orders.

3. Consider listing your preorder at a special preorder-exclusive price. For example, if you're planning to price your next book at $3.99, price the preorder at $2.99. And then in your marketing, let your readers know that preorder customers will lock in the lowest price, and after the book goes onsale and releases, you'll return it to the normal price of $3.99.

3. Your chosen ebook selling platform will deliver your preorder listing to other selling platforms they have partnership with. Once the listing is up at the retailers, update the backmatter of all your books to mention that "Title X is coming {Month Day Year} and is available now for preorder at select retailers. Reserve your copy today!" Your other books will do much of the heavy lifting for you when it comes to funneling readers into the preorder. If you have a sample of the first few chapters, include the sample at the back of your other books. If you're releasing a new book in a series, make sure you've linked the preorder and all the other series titles using the Smashwords Series Manager tool in your Dashboard. This helps retailers promote your preorder to their customers. If it's a series book, consider pricing your series starter at FREE so you can drive more readers into the series, and therefore more readers into the preorder.

And where are the 20 ways you?

see the signature file download it. It is free

One of the most astounding discoveries I made while writing and selling books was the fact

that the sales from direct book sales should not be the main or the only source of revenue

for authors. This was new to me before I ventured into the business. I used to think I can

only make money with my books only if I can sell lots of copies of it. If you are an author, you need to sit and think of more creative ways to amek more income from your books apart from the money coming from books sales.

Are you an author and you desire a step by step guide on how to write SEO articles to promote your books online? This book promotion article, How to Write SEO Articles to Promote Your Books Online will teach you proven steps you can begin to take to churn out great articles that will be loved by search engines. I have used this strategy extensively over the years to write my book marketing articles online for my blogs and for the article directories distribution.

Now let us look at the step by step methods below:


Find out relevant keywords that describe the book or ebook you want to promote online. In case you don’t know, keywords are the words or phrases that an average online searcher will use to search out information on search engines when they desire information that are related to the problem your book solved. For example, for my book, How to Publish Your Books On Amazon and Createspace, I can use keywords like amazon books, publish books online, free online publishing on amazon and so on. There are many free keywords research tools online that you can use to find out that the keywords that you can use. You can obtain free keywords research tools onine. When you get to any of the websites that come up in the search result, you will see a search box where you can enter a main keyword that generally describes your book into the box and press enter or click submit as the case may be on each website. From the results you can pick relevant keywords for your SEO articles to promote your book.



You should note that you don’t have to pick keywords that have high competition, that is, the ones that carry a large monthly search number beside it. Instead, pick long tail keywords which have low competition so that your SEO article can bring you instant results from the search engine so that your book sales page can receive instant promotion.

You should now coin out a title for your book promotion SEO article. You should ensure that one of the keywords you found is intelligently included in the title of your SEO article and it should be close to the left as possible. For example, for my book, How to Publish Your Books On Amazon and Createspace , I will use a key word, ‘publish on amazon’ in the title this way, Steps to Publish Books on Amazon Even if You are a Complete Novice’


You should now ensure that the first paragraph should contain the keyword once in each of its sentences. You should find a way to do this intelligently so that it won’t disrupt the reading flow of the people reading your articles. You should remember that your articles are not going to be read by machines but human beings who desire t o read a great article devoid of any SEO ‘mix ups’. This way they can go ahead to recommend your articles to their social networks and also visit your book promotion sales page at the end of the article.

You should also ensure you use variants of the main keywords interchangeably in the body of the article. For example, variants of the keywords ‘publish on amazon’ can include , ‘sell ebooks online’, ‘self publish books online’, ‘publish and sell books online’ and so on. You can also use all the keywords you picked up from your search at the keyword research tool. Again, you should use them intelligently.


You can also make attempt to hide the title of the article discreetly in three to four places in the article. Again, apply good wisdom when you do this.


You can also go ahead to post your book promotion SEO article to your blog and bookmark to the various social media or distribute to the various articles directories. Of course you should not forget to add the last line containing some promotional words for your book and link to the sales page.

I hope this SEO book marketing article helps.
