Quest to Sell Ebooks

If you are interested in following along on my Quest to Sell 1000 eBook then please go to Chillifreeze.com

Here is a sample post from today.

Not to many companies reveal their plans like this but our goal with this blog is to document and share our success and failures so here goes. These are the first 5 of 25 steps of PHASE I

 

 

Sell-Sell-Sell The goals is to sell 3 eBooks by April  1^st. If we sell 3 we will have proven the concept.  I uploaded our South India Cooking/Culture eBook to Lulu and I want to see what it takes to sell it. It will not sell unless we learn how to promote it.  Here are some things we will do this week.  Most of these things are simple and will not take much time. Most of PHASE I should be complete by  March 16th. We can create the PHASE II Plan on March 16th.

 

PHASE I

1) I Created  a StoreFront but it needs some work to make it  nicer. It is drag and drop but some  HTML  can be added. No need to spend too much time on this but it should be a little  nicer.  We need to  a) create a link on this storefront   going to CB. b) Insert google analytics  code so we can track visitors.  

2) Create a button on cb.com and India-reports that says Buy this Ebook on Lulu. I wonder if some people will feel more comfortable buying it  from  lulu and thus we get more sales. Joanna is the one to do this so follow up with  her. Tell her what you want.

3) Write a promo page on Cb.com with a  review & book cover etc. with a link to Lulu. 

4) Promote the Storefront so google finds it. Make sure the title is good. I wonder if we can even create a two or three page store front so that we can use different titles etc.   

5) Make a nice book cover. Then this cover needs to be displayed on our Lulu Storefront. And we can put this cover on cb.com and IR.com.
