How to Sell Your E-book - (or other information product) - Through Quickie Seminars

Written by Alexis Dawes


I've been selling my own self-published information products (mainly e-books) online forrepparttar past 3 years. Is it profitable? Definitely.

But as any seasoned information marketer will vouch, it takes time to build up your name recognition online. You'll have to spend considerable effort to develop word-of-mouth web site traffic. It's rare that you start off making $1,000 a day.

But offline it's an entirely different story.

Inrepparttar 128680 real world, when people meet face-to-face, a 10-minute conversation with a prospect can lead to a $1,000 sale.

I know this from first-hand experience. You see I've been in that position several times. How? I'm an author who uses Quickie Seminars to sell my information products.

What is a Quickie Seminar you ask?

It's a 3-hour talk that you give based aroundrepparttar 128681 topic of your information product. If you sell DVD's that teach people how to paint murals, your Quickie Seminar would in turn offer similar informational content.

Quickie Seminars are delightful tools for infopreneurs because they can provide you with a same day pay day.

You give a Quickie Seminar on Tuesday, you can take home $200- $5,000 on Tuesday.

Best of all, your competition is slight, if any.

Written by Jesse S. Somer


“No one will ever know who I am, I’m a nobody-writer from nowhere… I’ve had a thousand rejections from allrepparttar major publishers. It seems my destiny is never to be read, another nameless soul lost torepparttar 128677 sands of eternity.” Johnny’s face twisted into a pained grimace, you could tell his heart was tied up in a pretzel knot of self-deprecation.

“Well, you could quit altogether, become a door to door knife salesman, or if it’s really bad- hey, suicide’s an option! But seriously, you’ve been locked away in your room reading and writing for too long, things have changed brother.”

Johnny looked up from where he was holding his head in his hands. He snorted, “What’srepparttar 128682 answer then?

Johnny’s face lit up with an intensity I hadn’t seen in ages, his cheeks went bright pink as his words sputtered out in rapid succession usingrepparttar 128689 last of his current breath. However, I stayed calm. Hey, these Tai Chi classes were obviously doing their job!

I spoke softly and clearly, “ I don’t have allrepparttar 128690 answers buddy. But, do you know what E Books are?
