1. Create a great book



You must become completely customer focused if you are to

Succeed on the net. What type of books do you enjoy writing?

Who else writes books in that genre? Who is the best writer?

In the genre why are they the best? Be determined to be

Better than the best.

2. Create a Website that Sells

"But I don't know anything about website building!"

"Where do I start?"

These are natural fears which are largely unfounded when you

Realise that many authors sell their books on other people's

Websites! However, there are more who have decided to create

Their own websites with a little help from organizations

The best way to proceed is to look at other sites and find

Out what elements they have in common, look at the

Copywriting on each page of the site, and look for web

Marketing sites that can give you good advice

My site Get Published! Provides a lot of this information

For you, including a system that I use to create, market and

Sell my books called "Get Published! Online"

.

If all of this is confusing you then don't worry. I am a

Great believer in sharing my knowledge and experience of

Online publishing and website building the way I do this is

By pointing you to people and very high quality resources

That can help you cut through the rubbish.

3. Attract targeted customers to your website

The key word here is "targeted

There are hundreds of books on website marketing, I should

Know I have invested over $5,000 in them and do you know

What?

They all say the same thing...get customers to your site who

Are interested in your book, in other words targeted Customers

You can start by finding and joining mailing lists and

Online forums that cover your subject area this is where

People who are already interested in the subject matter of

Your book hangs out.

You can find these forums by searching in directories such

As Forum One

Do not try to sell them your book directly. This goes

Against the etiquette of these forums they are there to

Discuss matters in and around the subject. However by

Contributing your knowledge, these people will get to

Recognize you as the expert and will then be more inclined

To visit your website and eventually buy your book

This is one of many techniques you can use to start to build

Traffic to your website if I was to try and explain all of

These techniques in detail this article would be over 400

Pages long!

To be successful selling your books online you need to join

The 1% who succeed by having a great book, a website that

Sells, and targeted traffic to that website.

Hopefully this article has shown you how to start on this

Long, but very profitable road

Good luck.
