How to make your eReading electrify your business

The number one trap to avoid is to just start reading WITHOUT any plan or preparation. This is like trying to catch and hold falling snow flakes. Yes there are millions of them and they all look so beautiful. Alas, they only last one second in warmth of your hand. A good eBook may have a host of wonderful ideas. You are captivated by one, then in an instant that one is forgotten as you move on to next. So how can you make your eReading sessions PRODUCTIVE? Resist temptation to just rush in and start. Instead do this first:

Have a new document open in your word processor.

Scan eBook's outline of contents so you can anticipate what's coming and where book is going.

Start reading objectively. This means you are looking for something! Basically any idea or suggestion that you can apply to YOUR business should be noted in your open document. Enter page number so you can find it again. Alternatively, if you like working with hard copy, hit print button. Then use a colored highlighter on key sentences.

After your reading session, set a time to implement or investigate points you have noted.

eBook reading should be a part of your weekly schedule. Make time each day to scan or read another batch of pages. For key eBooks, return to them after a couple of months and read them again. You will be amazed how many more gems you can sift out of it. What if material in some books is duplicated in others? They still have value. No two books are identical. Does a gardening enthusiast have one gardening book on bookshelf? No. If you are serious about internet business then you need a good collection of eBusiness eBooks!

For example, a must in any eLibrary must surely be Ken Evoy's "Make Your Site Sell". (Review: http://www.vitalstop.com/ebr-myss.htm) I read sections again recently which led me to make further changes on my web site. I removed a lot of clutter from top of my web pages so a nice clean, clear header could do its work of pulling audience in to main body of page. On previous readings I had missed that point. This time it screamed at me in view of my web page design.

So get your eLibrary organized. If you already have eBooks littered around your hard disk, gather them together and build an eLibrary. Start using them. If you have not yet downloaded any eBooks, make a start today using suggestions above.

Yes, you can eLectrify your eBusiness by eReading eBooks from your own eLibrary!

There's no doubt about it e-book marketing works and is effective. Even highly intelligent and respected people at IMC (http://www.marketingchallenge.com) have realized this and released their own e-book of articles that they've previously published both in their newsletter and on their web site - so what about this 24 carat goldmine I mentioned you're probably sitting on? Well we'll take two examples that will clearly show how many of you can begin to tap into this medium almost overnight.

The first being content from web site of a person who visited Carvers E-Book Marketing Center several days ago. You can find their web site "The Small Business Knowledge Center" at http://bizmove.com. This is prime example of an online business that is truly sitting on a 24 carrot goldmine.

On their home page you will notice 8 major sections all quite distinct but at same time all similarly related to small business information. Here I already count 8 unique e-books that if complied in appropriate manner and released for free distribution could see this web masters web site promotion blues gone forever! Imagine if just one of those e-books brought similar results as that of Mark Joyner's. Imagine if 2 or 3 of them did!

While this an extremely good example anyone with a set of articles, a short tutorial, back issues of their e-zine or collection of useful information can create an e-book. Let's take a different example. Take a quick visit to "Golfgateway" at http://www.golfgateway.com. You will find a link on left side titled "Tips from Pros". While this web site lacks any articles as such, even golf related web sites could harness power of e-book marketing.

Compiling an e-book of all past pro tips effectively titled "The Little Golden E-Book of Super Golf Tips from Pros" and then giving it away for free they would have then created a book that I'm 100% certain people will begin to pass on to their friends. The beauty is that these friends share same interests and are therefore same highly targeted prospects that are most desired visitors to Golfgateway web site!

I'm also 100% certain that they would find or already have associated web sites that would gladly like to offer their free e-book for download as an incentive to attract more visitors to their own web sites.

It's also probably quite ridiculous amount of money that both webmasters from these examples spend on web site promotion each and every month. When you consider that small cost to begin and continually harness power of e-book marketing it's almost crazy they themselves and others aren't exploring it.

While this article couldn't possibly provide you with all techniques and methods that are required to successfully explore and experience results of e-book marketing I hope that I have brought this relatively new medium to your serious consideration.
