Less expensive than producing a “traditional” book, electronic books (or “eBooks”) exist in various formats, including MS Word files, Adobe Acrobat pdf files (one of the most popular formats) and HTML files (which can be read using a web browser). Readers can download your eBook from your website, a third-party site (such as Amazon.com), or receive it as an email attachment. If you choose to create your eBook using HTML files, all you need to do is give your readers the URL so that they can view it like any other webpage.

Looking to promote your products or services? Consider using an eBook in your promotions. For instance, a caterer might offer books such as “Entertaining for Large Parties at a Small Cost” or “Perfect Wine Pairings” and distribute them to prospective clients. She could also reformat the content into individual articles and submit them to specialized publications. An organizer might select topics such as “How to Set up a Home Office” or “10 Steps to Eliminating Clutter.” She could feature these books on her website and create passive income by setting a fee for downloads. Someone opening a coffee shop might market her business with titles such as “How to Brew the Perfect Cup” or a “Guide to Global Coffees.”

Want to define yourself as an expert in your field? Use an eBook to share your expertise. A house painter who finds that he’s always being asked about painting might write books such as, “10 Things to Know before Hiring a Painter” or “Three Top Painting Techniques.” He could market these books on his website, and offer them when meeting with prospective clients. Perhaps each month or quarter he could make a new book available for download or sale. He can market himself as an expert, while creating an additional source of income. Even do-it-yourself painters could benefit from his tips!

Have a group of articles you’ve already written? Compile your articles into an eBook, with each article as a separate chapter. Use your eBook as a manual for classes or talks that you give. Distribute your eBook as a “textbook” for your online classes. Are you involved in coaching or mentoring? Make your eBook available on your site as a download for your clients or students. Need to create instructions for a product you’re selling? Put it into an eBook. Use your eBook as a “thank you” to clients, or as an incentive to prospective clients.

Don’t underestimate the power of an eBook. You can use it for marketing, income, building writing credits or establishing yourself as an expert. Whatever your objective, use an eBook to get exposure for your business while sharing your expertise.

Twitter is a resource that can greatly benefit any small business in any industry. Here we will explore what Twitter is and how you can take advantage of it for business purposes.

If you’re a small business owner, or even if you work for another company, chances are you’ve found yourself at one or two networking events recently. Maybe you knew people there and maybe you didn’t. But you always found yourself engaging in conversation with others talking about a wide variety of topics – the economy, specific business industries, and ultimately, your company. You go to networking events so you can learn about others and for the chance to let others learn about you.

Think of Twitter as a big, ongoing networking event that takes place on the Internet. It is social marketing at its finest. Twitter let’s you share what’s on your mind to potentially millions of people. Each time you want to share something with your group, you have 140 characters (not words) in order to share something with others. It’s the ultimate chance to reveal your “elevator pitch” about your business. But slow down, because there are rules to play this game.

You wouldn’t walk up to a group of people you’ve never met at a traditional networking event and start blabbing about your business. The others would simply walk away from you and never want to talk to you again. It’s bad tact for that situation. First, you have to ease yourself into what other people are talking about, join in their conversation, and ultimately wait until they are ready to accept what you want to say about your company. It’s exercising proper professional tact. And the same goes for using Twitter (or any blog for that matter).

The first thing you want to do is join http://Twitter.com (free and easy) and set up your profile. This takes only a matter of minutes. If you have a company URL make sure you include it in your profile. Next, use the search criteria to find others that are conversing (called Tweeting) about topics you are interested: economy, marketing, golf, wine, et al. Once you identify these people, go to their profile and start following them. You will then be able to follow what they are talking about every time they make a Tweet. If they say something that interests you, hit the reply button and send them a comment. But make sure you say something that adds value to the conversation, because you ultimately want them to then click on your profile and start following you as well.

Your ultimate goal is to repeat this process as much as possible so that you begin to get a lot of people to follow you. When this happens, whatever you say via your updates will be seen by everyone who is following you. And when you’re able to steer the conversation in the direction that your company’s value becomes relevant, then you can point them to other places on the Web (links to your Web site, or other Web items) that promote you and your business.

But you can’t become addicted to Twitter if you don’t jump in. So set up your profile and start sharing your opinions with the world. And don’t forget to follow me http://twitter.com/SternalPR.

In a tight economy there are always people still purchasing, each of us is still spending. The way to survive in a depressed economy is simply to sell your product or service to people who are in a position to buy it.

There are six groups of people still spending money, I will outline these groups and it is your task to identify which groups sit within your current target market. This then becomes your new target market for a depressed economy, don’t bother marketing or advertising to anyone else as they are simply not buying your type of product or service.

You can choose multiple groups and there will be different groups for each product or service category within your business.

Necessity, Must Haves

- People purchasing a product or service because they HAVE to have it, for example, petrol, childcare, medication. These products may be purchased less, but in general the purchaser sees them as a necessity and must have them no matter the climate. These products will be the first to be purchased and other things will fall by the wayside if there is no extra capacity for spending.

Wont go Without

- I will go without, but NOT without that. These people are not willing to go without a certain product or service and will keep this up until they can no longer afford ANY luxury item. There are so many different products and services that fit in with this category, as an example, one person may not ever be willing to part with their gym membership, someone else may not be able to do without their bottle of wine or their monthly facial. If your product is perceived as being at the top of this list then it will be the last luxury item to be cut from the budget.

Above it All

- These people are not affected by a tightening market, for example they may be wealthy and retired or on a high income and in a stable position. Those that are not affected outright will purchase as they have always done, but may hold off selling their house and possibly renovate or refurbish instead.

Ignorance is Bliss

- The ignorance is bliss group either dont know what is going on around them or dont want to know and they will keep on purchasing the way they always have. These people may stop spending overnight when the harsh reality becomes evident.

Convince Me

- Convince me about your product or service and why I NEED it or else I just wont spend my money. They are in a position to buy but are wary, very frugal about their spending and need to be convinced as to why they should part with their money.

Under the Radar

- If the purchase is small enough or the repayments are small then the purchase can fly under the radar. There is a little bit of Ignorance is Bliss with these people in that if they are just buying small items like a tub of ice cream then it doesn’t matter, but these purchases add up without them realizing. So if your product or service can be split into small segments then these people are willing to purchase by turning a blind eye to the total expense.

Once you have identified your new target market it makes it a lot easier to be specific with your offers, campaigns and media choices.

As a fan of creative communication and problem solving, I enjoy paying tribute to other people’s cool ideas. I don’t know always know exactly who I’m honoring with the examples below, but here are 5 Cool Ideas that rock.

1. Customers love to have a choice.
Their are two main ways to navigate the Dallas-Fort Worth airport by car. You can go around it at no cost and it will cost you a few minutes or you can drive through and it will cost you a few bucks. You may not be a fan of tolls, but you’ve got to admit this is a clever way to create revenue.

2. Creative ideas make people smile.
There’s an enterprising shoeshine man at the Gaylord Texan Resort. He offers three price points for his simple service, all with glamorous names. Not one of them is called the “basic shine.” The most expensive shine gets you a glass of wine. Now, that’s creative marketing!

3. Avoid “tradition unimpeded by progress.”
Have you noticed that many t-shirts no longer have a label sewn into the back of the neck? Instead, the garment information is screened into the fabric. Brilliant! Cereal boxes are now missing the expensive tongue-in-groove box top in favor of a less expensive tuck-in flap.

4. Old service models can almost always be improved.
TSA at some airports have figured out how to free the bottleneck in security lanes by having two conveyor belt lines share a metal detector walkway. This is less expensive because TSA uses less personnel and less equipment. It’s faster for us, too.

5. Create products and services from thin air.
A while back, I spoke at a conference where a woman took several excellent photographs of me. The shots were posted on a board later and a single snapshot was priced at $7. I asked why the pic was so expensive and was told that I was purchasing the photograph and the rights to it. Clever!

How many of you reading this article would love to effectively present information about your business, effortlessly acquire clients and simultaneously grow your business? Speaking to a group about your products or services could do that for you. Peter Drucker says that business is really two things: innovation and marketing. Public speaking is a great strategy for marketing your business and an innovative approach for increasing revenue.

Public speaking builds credibility and immediately establishes you as an expert, even before you speak. People buy from those whom they like and trust. (They also vote for whom they like and trust.) You will attract clients with whom you would enjoy working and garner significantly more referrals. I have been hired by client companies, who have never seen me speak, but who heard about me from someone who saw my presentation. Prospective clients feel that they know you when they have heard you present a talk. They have experienced your personality, communication style, your sense of humor and viewed how you interacted with your audience. They will note how well organized you are, how you dress, speak, and move.

Every time you share your vast store of knowledge and experience, with the intention of being of service, you are promoting yourself and your company. It is more efficient use of your time and energy to present to a group, however large or small, rather than to one person at a time. You can follow up later with individual leads from the talk. You will find that you will have an effective common ground going into a subsequent meeting or appointment, because, after all, they will feel that they already know you.

Public Speaking is a cost-effective marketing strategy, especially if you speak within driving distance of your home. Marketing pieces can be costly and time-consuming to design, print and send out, but you can create and develop a presentation that is either no cost, or very low cost, drawing upon your expertise, using a PowerPoint program and creating some handouts.

Speaking is also a great way to build your data base. Offer a gift to raffle off to the audience to entice them into giving you their contact information. By that I don’t mean to offer 10% off your services. You can give away a bestselling book, one of your products or services, gift cards to Office Depot, a garden center or Starbucks, movie tickets, a plant, a bottle of wine. Laugh about it with them and let them know that you are bribing them for their business card. Arrange in advance to have someone collect the cards in a basket for you and draw the winner’s name from that basket. Organize this activity in a way that is smooth and non-disruptive. Ask permission to collect the business cards when you are initially booked.

Don’t think too long, or agonize about how to start. Or, as Zig Ziglar says, “I am going to begin to start to commence tomorrow.” Just begin. Based upon your target market, locate your audience and speaking opportunities first, and then develop your talk. What do they want to know? What problem can you solve for them? Don’t wait until you have created the perfect presentation and can deliver it flawlessly. Strive for excellence, not perfection.

Determine at the outset what your goal is. How do you wish to use these speaking opportunities? To build your business? To introduce a new product or service? To educate or inform? To present a charitable cause and to enroll others? To raise money? Establish that your goals are in alignment with your audience’s goals and suitable for the engagement and venue.

Start by operating from where you want to be. Make your decisions from that place. Market one to many, utilize what I call “high-impact marketing”. Public speaking is an ideal example of this type of marketing. Play bigger. Nail down who your ideal customers are and go after them —by speaking to groups.

You have to choose your nail polish color as per the occasion you wish to paint your nail for. Suppose, you wish to color your nails for a black-tie occasion, you have to consider your dress color while selecting the nail color. Red nail polish is one of those colors which look good on all occasions and on almost everyone. However, there is a small trick involved in this. You have to select a shade of the color which matches your skin tone, so that you get an awesome glow in your nails. You can select any such nail color, by putting the shade chart against your skin and checking out which shade looks the best. If you feel you are still not able to decide on the shade, you can try out by painting each nail in a different shade and find which shade looks best.

If it is summer and you are looking for a fun look, you can easily try out the pastel shades of purple, green, blue and pink – you need to choose any perfect shade of these colors which matches your skin tone color. If you wish to style your fingers for winter, you can try out shades which are quite dark. Now here are some points on which color group suits which skin tone.

• For fair skins, colors with blue base will do best. Berry colors like strawberries, cranberries or raspberries are their best choices. Don’t choose very dark colors as that may make you look a character from “Adams Family”.
• For people with medium skin tone, burgundies and wine colors that have a yellow and a blue base will work wonder.
• If you are lucky to have olive skin, choose colors that have more yellow base like orange, brown and orange-red.
• For dark skin, dark colors like deep red or strong plum work wonder. These vibrant colors will compliment their skin tone completely.

Lastly, it should be said that choosing a nail polish just based on your skin tone is not enough. Along with it, you have to take in your personality into account. If you don’t want to change nail colors for every occasion, then French manicure is the best option. This is one nail polish that a person can wear irrespective of her skin tone and still look good and stylish.

In the world food game, getting a ‘name’ for a product is a gold-mine. I’m not talking about regular ‘brands’, like Coca-Cola or Danone, whose perceived superiority is supported by million-pound advertising campaigns and class-leading branding and marketing. I’m talking about the subtler, subconscious dominance of geographical ‘world brands’, like wines from Champagne or La Rioja or cheeses like Feta or Manchego.

These brands arise largely from a recognized historical tendency for specific areas to excel at the production of a specific product, be it wine, cheese, rice or biscuits. Slowly, the area becomes synonymous with the product, like La Rioja for Spanish red wines. Recently, in the commercial era, is has become the norm for producing areas to try to cement their competitive advantage and exclude newcomers to the market by establishing various types of quality standards, producers’ associations and marks of guarantee of origin – in Spanish food production, for example, the ‘Denominacion de Origen’ (DO) is applied to hundreds of different products, from wine to artichokes, from beans to turron.

The DO is mostly positive for the consumer, encouraging good standards in production and protecting against falsely labeled products. However, the efforts of DOs, producers associations and local export consortiums to promote their brand can have an overall negative effect on consumer psyche, compounding the idea that only one type of product is worth buying and limiting the perceived choice. In the UK, where Spanish food is only just starting to make a name for itself, consumers tastes stray little from the well-known classics – wine is from La Rioja, cheese is Manchego, everything else is chorizo. But times, tastes and production methods change and what may have been the best (or only) product 200, 100, 50 or 25 years ago, may no longer be. It’s time to start ignoring the historical bias and branding and start looking for real quality.

Marketing is all about attracting and luring people to your product and services by any which way. The idea is to “get noticed”, irrespective of the means used.

How many times has it happened with you that unknowingly you have been attracted to some advertisement simply because it was so compelling that you could not avoid it?

This is not just the case with advertisements. In fact, this curiosity is there in every sphere of our life. We as humans are always interested in anything out of ordinary. For example, you would have noticed many times that people out of curiosity, have crowded around an accident scene wanting to know what has happened.

Fascination with Newness

This is all because people have a fascination for new things. It is this pursuit of new, which guides everyone. You can observe this from your daily routine. Everyday you switch on the news to find out what’s the latest development in the world. It is for the same reason that you read the daily newspaper.

When you meet your friends and colleagues one of the first questions that you ask them generally is “What’s new?” You are interested in knowing what has been happening lately in their lives. You are not interested in hearing about things that you already know.

The same rule also applies in the field of marketing and advertisements. A marketing message should compel people to sit up and take notice of the product and service. The message should be so strong that whether the people want to or not they should be forced to read it.

If by chance, your marketing is not able to do this then you certainly need to think about bringing a change to the message. You have to analyse and see for yourself what it is that your marketing lacks. What have you overlooked? Why are people not taking the trouble to go through your advertisement?

Often the answer can be found in the fact that people are interested in new thoughts and ideas. They will go through your advertisement only if they find anything new in it. Nobody is interested in the same old story.

It is up to you to find out new things to say about your product and service. If you are unable to do so then you can be sure that your marketing would become lifeless. A lifeless marketing is sure to give you equally lifeless sales.

Generate Freshness in your Marketing Message

However, finding something new and saying it in the right compelling way is not an easy task. Most people are of the opinion that they don’t have anything new to say about their product. After all, it is the same old product.

Agreed this is so but what one has to do is revamp the old product and sell it afresh to the people. Something like, an old wine in a new bottle.

It may not be a simple task but it is certainly not impossible. What one needs to do is to figure out the areas in which one can generate freshness about the product.

This freshness could be generated in any sphere such as pricing, packaging, production process etc.

Perhaps the product is being made in collaboration with some other company then this too can become part of the marketing. It is after all a new feature of the product.

However, if at times one is totally at sea and cannot find anything at all new to say about the product then one can perhaps try to look at it from the point of view of the customer.

Look at the product from his viewpoint and try to find areas, which may attract him. One should come up with something so exciting about it that the excitement should pass on to the customers, making them excited too.

Once one has figured out what to say then say it such panache that the audiences are compelled to listen.

Try your best

Think of the marketing message, be it in the form of a print, television, web, email advertisement, as a TV program that the audiences are watching. Then see, whether it is compelling enough for them to continue watching it or will they switch over to some other channel.

This will allow you to rate the marketing yourself and try harder to get that magical message. Remember, try, try, try again and you will get it.

Try a little harder and you will be surprised at the number of messages that you can come up. Compare them and see whether they have the ability to hold the audiences or not. If yes fine, if no then get down to, work once again.

Don’t forget it is the marketing which will make your product or service sell like hot cakes.

It is easy to focus on what remains outstanding and not see what you have accomplished or how you have grown over the past year. Even marketing experts have difficulty nailing down time to market. I too fritter away time at trivial tasks like organizing paper clips, shuffling paper from one stack to another, updating my computer and watering plants. On worse days, I prefer doing laundry and making my kitchen even cleaner.

Is that you? Procrastination does directly affect how much revenue you make and the bank account doesn’t lie. Throughout the years, I’ve found ways to kindle excitement for tackling my marketing and funneling the procrastination bug. Let me share seven steps to help kick start your marketing for the new year.

1. Acknowledge with Truth

You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge and you can’t acknowledge what isn’t the truth. Find the truth by determining whether you’re dragging your feet or simply need an incubating period. As an avid writer and marketing consultant, I receive many ideas. At first, I lied to myself thinking I will remember them. For years, I recorded them in idea journals. Attached to that, I always felt guilty because I didn’t do much after documenting them. Later, I began allowing myself free write whatever thoughts were connected to those ideas as well. The guilt still came. When I gave myself permission to allow myself to fail all heck broke loose and I allowed myself to go in any direction it took me. Sometimes I began in the East and finished in the West. I gave myself permission to not have all the answers.

Unexpectedly, I started to create 101 and top 10 lists on various ideas. Sometimes, the idea emerged and I only got to five, sometimes 30. When the flow slowed, I taped the list to the wall. Every morning I reviewed the wall and added more. Throughout the day, answers came from tons of different sources and the lists kept building.

The lists circulated. The guilt for not following through disappeared, the process became easier, creativity and productivity skyrocketed.

Do you need all the answers before you start? Do you need an incubation period or wall system? Try new things and explore your way to success.

2. Identify What You Loathe

What do you hate to do in the marketing process? Make cold calls? Follow up? Write web site content? Create flyers? I didn’t like cold calling and editing. And creating new web content and planning ranked very low on my list. Identify what you procrastinate. Pinpoint the why. I put off cold calling because I felt I lacked the “right” language. When I asked myself “why,” I remembered a marketing seminar and how I bought into presenter’s beliefs about cold calling.

My fear seemed powerful. To dance around it, I began writing mini-parts of a phone script, created a list of questions I wanted to know about them, and then a list of points I wanted to leave them with about me. I made a list of possible call to actions — what action I wanted from the call. One action was to get them to my web site and subscribe to an ecourse or ebook. When I finished, I had a strategy that made sense. It was easy to initiate the calls afterwards. If they weren’t interested, they didn’t visit my web site and I didn’t feel rejected. I refined the script and calls after the first ten calls to reflect my natural language.

What whys do you have for each reason on your list? What solution possibilities are there? Ask others to brainstorm with you if you are stuck. Are there some solutions that are only a one-time action? If yes, consider outsourcing. Find one “mini” step to start and leave the next step unknown until you are ready. Keep mini-stepping until you are dancing.

3. Find Something Good

Maybe your incubation period deepened your knowledge or passion on the subject. Look for the good in the why. It could be that while you procrastinated your vision became clearer. Be honest with yourself otherwise you aren’t acknowledging it (#1).

I found my marketing planning similar to my disability to sort clean socks — no patience. Then I looked for planning methods that don’t require much patience — I began Mind Mapping. I fell in love with the topic and later became a certified trainer.

As I traveled through all this, I learned to let go of any feelings of “not knowing it all before I started”. It was a fantastic freeing experience. I no longer felt I needed to follow through on every idea and just the ones that “had more” to them. Then I saw that they all meshed eventually and my trust in the universe and me seemed to flow. I meshed my gift for ideas with my writing and marketing consulting and I had a winning strategy that continues to pay off.

Just like in construction, first need to “de”struction before you can “con”struction. Creativity is messy. Roll up your sleeves and laugh along the way.

Give yourself credit for your gifts, ask the why for the all the others, take one mini-step and watch a new self-confidence emerge.

4. Visualize Your Successful Self

Envision your marketing project or goal done. Really see it, feel it, and connect to the emotions. Don’t look for the dots to connect. They will come. Trust the universe and in yourself. Pull from a personal experience where it did work that way. Give it the visionary power it needs to promulgate. Start small or start big, just start. If it’s cleaning off your desk, see it clear, feel it clear, feel the emotion of working on it cleared.

If it’s writing, see the acceptance notices. If it’s marketing, envision the “we want to hire you” responses. In fact, write script them out and create a stronger pull with the Universe.

5. Determine What You Need to Move Forward

Who wouldn’t stall, needing the tools, how tos, strategy, system or different approach?

With marketing, I felt overwhelmed easily. I created a list of things I could do when I felt it coming on. Now when I feel panicky “my overwhelm signal” I reach for my list. Deep breathing is the one I practice until I find my list.

6. Make the Dreaded Task Fun, Easy and Simple

Are you a people person? Perhaps you’d benefit from a social approach to procrastination. Find people or a support group that listens well, allows you to BMW (bitch, moan and wine) and doesn’t allow you to get away without meeting the BMW rule. RULE: You have permission to BMW for three minutes if, and only if, you provide a solution/action step to move past it at the end.

Are you an alone person? Schedule more alone time to help you process your thoughts. Arrive at work early, sit in the car or somewhere quiet (not your office chair) and close your eyes. Arrive at the restaurant early, sit and write through your thoughts. Alternatively, you can stay afterwards and write over a long cup of coffee or dessert.

7. Stop Stalling and Get Going

Create a check-in trigger that reminds you to take a review. You can use anything that chimes or rings and set it up to create noise on the hour. Keep trying different things until you find something that works for you. If it stops working, find something new. It took me five tries before I found a clock that chimes every hour to work. When I began anchoring the clock to an automatic check-in, I made a list of questions to ask myself. Am I on target? What is my attraction/energy level? Can I do any of this faster or easier? If so, how?

When I’m out of the office, I use an old beeper (no service needed) to vibrate on the hour. Works well in the library. Go ahead take your ideas as far as you can, let it germinate and watch it create a new growth, success, and self-confidence. It’s fun to experience. Moreover, since it always works, you will keep doing it and doing it until it becomes a new habit. The rest is history.
