ARTICLE: Ask Yourself If List Building is a Priority

Posted: 25 May 2010 09:53 AM PDT

OK, you have a good website set up - but, what are you doing with those visitors who have found you? If list building hasn't not been a priority, then you are wasting an incredible opportunity and it will pay you to re-think your overall marketing strategy and plans.

ASK YOURSELF
What happens to my visitors?
Why aren't they buying my products and services that I have well displayed and explained?
Is it that they don't know me?
How do I communicate better with them?

THE ANSWER
You need to 'capture' their names and email addresses so that you can, through an email campaign, communicate good and useful information that will build your credibility and allow them to gain trust or confidence in what you say.

AND, this before you even suggest they buy a product from you!

The establishment of reliability and trust will either save or sink your online relationship with them. This means that you pre-sell, not hard sell - no matter how much you are tempted to constantly place offers before them. If you have shown that you are genuinely interested in helping them, through what you give away freely, then they will be more open to genuine offers to purchase.

Put yourself in their shoes. I mean do you like constantly getting emails that only are offers of products? Do you find yourself more open to those marketers who mostly give you something useful and that is free?

If you have a targeted audience then you will be speaking to people who are wanting what you have to offer - whereas those who find you through random searches rarely produce results. That is, if your site is about gardening, you do not particularly want to target motor sports enthusiasts. Do your research and work within the niche that you have chosen - and focus on those who are searching within that niche for information to solve their problems.

Remember, online success or your Internet Marketing efforts greatly depends on your list building.

As they say, the money is in the list, and that's why most internet marketers treasure their opt-in list as real gold.

ARTICLE: Your eBook or Print Book is Your Ultimate Marketing Tool

Posted: 25 May 2010 07:28 AM PDT



Book and Article  Marketing Coach  Judy Cullins

Dear Subscribers,

Thank you for continuing to welcome me to your Internet doorstep for ongoing book writing, publishing, and marketing advice.

I'd love you to check out the article below. As always, I welcome candid feedback and questions that will help you and others make your book and business dreams a reality this year!

=====

Your eBook or Print Book is Your Ultimate Marketing Tool

In the early 1980's I didn't even know about the power of book chapters—until I got a mentor to help me. Then, I wrote my first book "The San Diego Annotated Networking Directory." My first printing sold out in six months, but more than that–it made me well known in the business networking community. I sold books, but they led me to so many other opportunities.

That's proof of the power of books! If you are in business, you want to do several things to attract new customers and clients.


Maybe you are wondering, "Should I write a book?"

You may not be sure if it's worth it. You may not want to spend much time on it. You may not feel you're a skilled writer.

[Motown Writers Network] AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: The Only Thing That Lasts .... Tyler

Posted: 25 May 2010 06:41 AM PDT

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: The Only Thing That Lasts .... Tyler R. Tichelaar





Book Title and ISBN: The Only Thing That Lasts 9780979179044



Author Name: Tyler R. Tichelaar



Author's Website:  www.MarquetteFiction.com



100 word Synopsis:


The Only Thing That Lasts is written as the autobiography of Robert O'Neill, the famous novelist first introduced in The Marquette Trilogy. As a young boy during World War I, Robert is forced to leave his South Carolina home to live in Marquette with his grandmother and aunt. He finds there a cold climate, but many warmhearted friends as he matures into adulthood and becomes a famous writer. The Only Thing That Lasts is a joyful, lighthearted, yet meaningful story of home and hearth.





Genre of book: Historical Fiction



How do you come up with story ideas and characters?
Mostly, I get ideas from the local area of Marquette and its history. I like to write novels where minor characters in one book become major characters in another so all five of my novels have connections. I create a minor character and then later realize he or she has his own story to tell beyond may be just the one scene where he appeared in a previous novel. In my first published novels, The Marquette Trilogy, there were about 300 characters, so I had plenty to expand on in later books.





When and how do you write?


I mostly write in the evening. I do a lot of writing in my head when I'm walking, then come home and write it down—I literally do hand write a good percentage of my books, and then retype them. I write scenes as they come to me and try to keep them in some order, rather than writing from the start to the end of the book.





What other authors inspire you?


In writing The Only Thing That Lasts, I wanted to write an old-fashioned novel in the style of Louisa May Alcott or L. Frank Baum's Aunt Jane's Nieces, or even Marquette's own Carroll Watson Rankin, whose Dandelion Cottage (1904) first made Marquette the setting for a novel. Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind was also an influence for the Old South connections in the novel.



How did you find your publisher?


I spent a long time looking for a traditional publisher, but then realizing my primary audience was in Upper Michigan, I formed my own publishing company, Marquette Fiction. I didn't see why some publisher in New York should decide whether my audience in the U.P. should read my books, and my novels have sold very well locally.



How long does it take you to write a novel?


I've never written one in less than nine months and usually they take years as the characters are developed in my mind. The Only Thing That Lasts was the first book I ever wrote. I started it in 1987 and finished the rough draft a couple of years later. Then I rewrote it in 2005 and polished it again to be published in 2009.



How do you overcome writer's block?


I mostly find sometimes I'm trying too hard to get the story to come together. That's when I'll lay down and close my eyes—sometimes I end up napping, but other times, like with meditating, things come clear. I'll hear a character's voice (I like to write in first person) and then he or she will just start talking and everything will come together.



What's your next project?


I just finished writing my first non-fiction book to be titled My Marquette. It will be a history/tour book of Marquette, along with my personal memories and connections to the area and highlighting how the different local places have appeared in my novels. It will be my first book with photographs, so that's a new learning curve for me.



How long have you been writing and how did you get started?
I started writing The Only Thing That Lasts in high school—it was the first novel I completed. I made a few false starts before that. I started writing short stories beginning in third grade. I got started because I loved to read and then a friend told me her aunt wrote mystery novels. It didn't occur to me until that day—I was about nine years old—that it was a job to write books and I knew that was the job I wanted.





How does your background influence your books?
I'm a seventh generation resident of Marquette, Michigan. My grandpa used to tell me about his childhood in Marquette back in the 1910s and also about his parents and grandparents. The history of the area and its stunning beauty, heavy snowfalls, and the power of Lake Superior all inspired me to write about it. Marquette played a significant role in the history of this country as a major port for the iron ore to be shipped. That iron ore changed America because it was turned into steel that won wars and built our country. I wanted to tell a story of the American Dream played out in Upper Michigan.
