Think nice guys finish last? $12,216 in the first day. $24,824 in the first week. $34,283 by the end of the month. I promise you can do this.- Naomi Dunford of Ittybiz.com |
It's Not A Gimmick, Hype Or A Fad ...

My first ebook is now making me over $1,400 a month, just using less than half of these strategies. The more of them I implement, the more sales keep going up. - Jonathan Mead of ZenHabits.net |
Most ebook authors fail to make any real money because they have the sales cycle backwards. They try to get people to their sales page and convince them to buy right then and there, from a "cold start."
Think about it - is that how you make your most confident buying decisions? When you have a favorite author, or movie star, or artist, do you need to be "sold" in order to buy their books, watch their movies, or listen to their music?
You know you don't - you walk right up, hand over your cash, and get what you know you're going to enjoy, because the experience you've had with them in the past makes you certain that you're going to get your money's worth. You're already pre-sold - so the buying decision is made quickly (and in many cases, over and over again in the future).
And you want that same profitable scenario to work in your favor - you want your ebook to sell tself, just because it came from you.
The way to make that happen for you is to follow the formula used over and over by ebook authors who enjoy strong sales, month after month - without spending a penny on advertising or engaging in any questionable sales practices.
By doing what they do, you tap into four proven strategies that get you to the top of the game.
Every day, hopeful ebook authors spend dozens (or hundreds) of hours writing a "sure seller," only to make the crushing discovery that no one wants what they've got.
Make sure this doesn't happen to you. You can test the market for your book before you write a single word. And it’s easy when you have the right tools - the tools that strong-selling authors use to their advantage.
Sound complicated? Actually, it only takes a few lunch breaks in front of the computer - to generate thousands of dollars each month in ebook sales.
Tempted to skip this step? You're welcome to, but ask any truly successful ebook author. You’ll find that nearly every one swears by this strategy.
Don’t blow off this step unless you’re willing to see your time and effort wasted.
Without an audience who knows, likes and trusts you, you'll struggle to make every sale.
You'll find yourself hustling non-stop to get the word out, spending way too much money on sales page copy that appeals to "cold" visitors, and hoping (praying?) that you can make a sale in the few seconds before your site visitor can click away.
Fortunately, you don't have to suffer through that if you work on building that fan base right now by leveraging the easiest audience-building tool in history: your blog.
If you have a blog right now, congratulations, you're ahead of the game. If you don't, no worries - they're a cinch to set up. But more importantly, they are the perfect medium for strong-selling authors to build buzz, attract a buying audience and, if you play your cards right, network your way into relationships that can give your ebook incredible amounts of exposure.
To build an audience that trusts you enough to buy what you're selling - even before you've written it in some cases, you'll want to use these key strategies:
And the best part is, you don't even have to have your ebook written to do this.
Your blog can tell you everything you need to know about your market and what they want. It lets you do market research, create content, and build a fan base — all in one step.
Five years ago, building a big audience and establishing trust took a lot longer than it does now - and for a lot of people, it was just plain impossible.
But blogs have leveled the playing field and allow you to increase your audience size as rapidly as you want to (if you make the right strategic moves).
Remember, trust = sales. The more opportunity you give your audience to trust you, the less work you'll have to do "selling" them on your ebook - and the more money you'll make.
The saying "the money is in the list" is 100% on-target: your email list is the single most effective tool for converting readers into buyers.
Don’t think a blog is enough. A blog has a fraction of the selling power that an email list does. Experience in every niche and every industry under the sun proves: email subscribers become buyers when you run your list effectively.
If you've been putting off building a list, every day you do that you're leaving money on the table and making it that much harder for you to make the kind of ebook sales you want.
The first three steps will put you in a powerful position. You'll have a bulls-eye on the perfect market for the ebook you want to sell. You'll have a loyal audience who spreads the word about you throughout their networks. And you'll have a list of highly motivated fans who want access to more of what you have to say.
You can make a living from your ebook just from getting to this spot. But there’s no reason to stop here. Your sales can go through the roof when you have a carefully crafted plan for launching your ebook.
You may not have ever heard of a "launch plan," but it's an incredible tool that can take your sales literally ten times higher than you'd get on your own, because it does the work of pre-selling your audience before they ever even see your "buy now" link.
With a well-executed launch plan, by the time you're ready to offer your ebook for sale, many, many of your fans will already have their Visa cards out and ready to buy. Just like you do when your favorite author/singer/movie star has something new for you.
(Oh, and if you have an ebook that's already available for sale, you can still use a launch plan to great success as well - keep reading to see how.)
So how does a launch plan help create a steady stream of ebook sales for you? Here's how:
This is actually a greatly simplified version of a full launch plan, but just by working with the three points above you can easily double the sales you would have made before reading this far.
In fact, this is a "back of the envelope" summary of how I've personally been able to generate over $150,000 in sales for myself and my clients using launch plans ranging from complex, two-month plans to insanely short three day mini-launches.
And I realize I've been talking to you this far without even introducing myself. How rude. Let's take care of that right now, shall we?
My name is Dave Navarro, and I do very, very successful launches for a living.
And I sleep very, very well at night because I don't do any of the sleazy, ethically questionable things that many online marketers do these days.
I play the game straight-up, and I'm not going to bullshit you with get-rich-quick hype and million-dollar "lounge on the beach" promises. But I am going to tell you without any hesitation that putting these strategies into place can give you an audience that grows larger month after month and becomes more and more willing to buy from you.
This isn't rocket science. It's smart relationship building, and it's been making people money since the beginning of time. It's just a hell of a lot easier to do now because of technology like blogs and email lists.
I've co-written a pretty damn successful home study course with small-business marketing expert Naomi Dunford called "How To Launch the **** Out Of Your Ebook." (I won't apologize for my bad language, because I'm from Brooklyn, and that's how we roll.)
So before I go any further, let me take the opportunity to commit "sales page suicide" and tell you that you don't have to actually buy this course to increase the sales of your own ebook.
You could take that and be better off, and you have every right to do that. And really, building your trust for the long term by giving you rock-solid information for free is a hell of a lot more important to me than making a sale today.
But, if you keep reading, you'll have a chance to get three very important resources that could take your ebook sales much, much higher and give you more freedom to build your business the way you really want to.
The point here is that yes, you could do this on your own. Naomi and I did, after all. It took us a couple of years.
But the question is really, why do you want to make it any harder on yourself than you have to? Wouldn't you rather have a successful, profitable ebook as soon as possible, without spending forever to learn "the ropes?"
If "spending forever" is your plan, than more power to you - to each his (or her) own. But if time is money in your world, and you want to take the shorter route so you can have more time and make more money then you're going to want all of the benefits this course is going to give you.
Most information products on the market today have really short guarantees - 30 days is the standard deal, and maybe you'll find a 60-day guarantee every so often. But I don't think that's the right fit for this course - or the right fit for you, for that matter.
You may not even have your ebook started yet - so I don't feel like a short evaluation period is in your best interest.
So I'm going to let you take a full year to work through this home study course and see just how solid it is at delivering the goods.
And if you don't think this course kicks ass - for any reason - just ask for a refund. I'm a hassle-free kind of guy, so you'll get your money back nice and fast.
Will some people take advantage of this 12-month guarantee and return the course even though it's working really well for them? Undoubtedly, yeah, there are a few leeches out there. But I'm betting that you're "good people."
Besides, I think maybe 1% of the people who give this course a try have ever asked for a refund. It might be 2%, but it's small enough that I don't even pay attention to it.
Bottom line is - this is the real deal. You'll love it, or you get your money back. Couldn't be easier.
The first ebook I ever sold was a bomb - but after reading and applying what I learned from Dave & Naomi's book, my next ebook's sales totaled $7697.29. - Michael Martine of Remarkablogger.com |
When you join the hundreds of other people who are thrilled with their purchase of How to Launch the **** Out Of Your Ebook, this is what you'll get:
Here’s the scenario a few weeks or months from now. You've read the manual, listened to the Q&A sessions and gone through the worksheets.
You've got a blog that's attracting consistent attention from your target audience and more people are joining your mailing list every day. You've established trust with your readers, gotten to know their deepest needs, worries and hopes, and you've written an ebook that truly delivers the goods to them.
And now you're ready to launch your book to this audience who knows you, likes you, and trusts you, and already has all the background experience with you they need to decide that yes, when you put your ebook out there, they want to be first in line to get it.
It's just a matter of doing the right things, in the right order … starting right now.
And I'm giving you all the right things - the tools you need, the experience of many successful years of online sales and all the time you'll possibly need to see how it can take your ebook sales as high as you want them to go.
And damn, I'm giving it to you so inexpensively that you'll make your money back - and then some - with your first few ebook sales.
The course you're about to download represents what would take Naomi and I over a dozen hours of phone consulting time to work through with you. She charges $500 an hour. (I'm a much more reasonable $250.) So without doing any math, this ebook is like getting a few thousand dollars' worth of our time.
But you're not going to get hit up for thousands. That's crazy talk.
Just $97 puts all that time saving, money-generating information right into your hands so you can get your own strong-selling ebook out the door and making money for you now.
And after the first few sales you make, this course pays for itself from that point on. It's like renting out your spare room to some guy who's going to pay your mortgage for you.
So whether you've read everything I've written this far or you've just skimmed to the shiny "buy now" button, you know this is one hell of a deal. And with a 12-month guarantee, I'm the one taking on the risk, not you.
Click the Download it Now button - and I'm looking forward to helping you launch the **** out of your ebook.
Looking forward to seeing your success story -
Dave Navarro

P.S. Naomi wanted me to tell you this in case you had any hesitation - any hesitation at all about using this ebook to sell hundreds (or thousands) of your ebooks every year:

When I wrote my first ebook, SEO School, I made five figures in the first three months. I was beyond thrilled. Then I hooked up with Dave and started work on Online Business School-- I had high hopes, because I knew Dave was good. I just had no idea HOW good.
It was important to me that I didn't get sleazy on people. I didn't want to push people or force them or bully them. My entire family income is dependent on the integrity of my brand and all of the information out there at the time seemed geared to dirty tricks that my readers would hate. And I'd hate myself for turning into a sleazebag. So we did it honorably. Fairly. Nicely. Think nice guys finish last? $12,216 in the first day. $24,824 in the first week. $34,283 by the end of the month. I am not a guru. I do not have letters after my name. Hell, I didn't finish high school. If I can do this, I promise you can do this. |
