Brown Category: Promotion http://www.wordpreneur.com/promotion If you're selling your book online, you're practically guaranteed to increase sales by publishing an email newsletter, or "ezine." Why? Well, for a start, it's a super way to give readers a taste of your expertise and style along with samples of your content. This ensures they'll come to be familiar with you, trust you, and hopefully buy your book when they're ready for more information. Also, it's a great way to *capture prospects* who aren't ready to buy your book when they visit your site, but are still interested in the info you have to share. Based on my own experiences in marketing my manual, "Boost Business With Your Own E-zine," here are 7 ways to help increase book sales using an email newsletter. * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/promotion/enewsletter.html WHY SELF-PUBLISH YOUR BOOK? by Ceci Miller Category: Self-Publishing http://www.wordpreneur.com/selfpublish When I meet an author with a great book concept, one who’s definitely the right person to write that book, right away I’ll often encourage him or her to self-publish. This is because I know that, if an author is thoroughly invested in what they have to say, and if they’re determined to create a buzz about their message, they’ll discover... 5 Fantastic Benefits of Self-publishing 1. Control. When you enter into a contract with a major publishing house, you’re signing an exclusive agreement that prevents your having input into most of the important decisions that will affect your book’s perception by the public, and its sales. You’ll have very little say about the look and feel of your book cover, the endorsements that appear on the back of your book, or the wording of your press release, for example. And since all of the above elements are critical to giving your book its best chance for bestseller status, such loss of control can pose significant problems. “But don’t publishers know better than I what to do to sell a book?” you may ask. Not necessarily. Authors usually know more about their book’s subject - and hence, about their target audience (market) - than anyone else. Hey, they wrote the book! * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/selfpublish/why.html KEYS TO CHARACTERIZATION by Aspire2write Category: Technique http://www.wordpreneur.com/technique Far too many inexperienced writers create flat, stereotypical characters: the brave fireman, the damsel in distress, the strict schoolmistress. The best characters are those who evoke emotions within the reader – fear, admiration, affection, laughter, horror… If the writer fails to make us care about the characters, no matter how ingenious the plot, we will toss the story aside without a second thought. Every character should be unique. There are no two people in this world exactly the same. Each of us has an individual personality; everything we do derives from the governing aspects of that personality. The following factors contribute to our uniqueness: - Names - Appearance - Possessions / props - Speech - Body language - Habits - Behavior - Background - Major traits * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/technique/characterization.html ------------------------------------------------------------ VISIT E-FACTORY.COM http://www.e-factory.com 100% free and useful articles on how to build, run, and grow your very own Internet enterprise!
