Can Internet Marketing Be a Long Term Business? EBooksPublishing

Here is the basic honest truth: most of the people get into Internet Marketing because they are convinced it is an easy way to earn quick money. Their approach is to make a fast website, put up some advertising and a few affiliate links and then sit back and watch while they earn real cash. There are a large amount of individuals who do this and also earn lots of money on the internet. But what if you want more than some extra or even quick cash (quick cash, naturally being a misnomer)? Can Internet Marketing really be leveraged to produce a worthwhile and long term career?

The quick and dirty answer is that yes, you are able to make Internet Marketing your long term and sustainable career. You only need to take on the project properly. The procedures and programs you use to build something to earn fast money are not all that different than the methods and systems you will use to build long term profits. So what would you do if you need to develop a sustainable career on the internet?

It is very important that the first thing you do, in order to earn long term money online, is accept the fact that you are going to have to do real work. You will have to do actual and real work on a daily basis and you will have days when you feel fantastic about what you do and days when you wish you could find something else to take on. This causes it to be just about like every other occupation that is out there. If you want to produce lasting cash flow by working lots right now and not at all later on then you are going to be in for a rude awakening in a little while. So be ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

There are a few ventures that lend themselves much better to a long term career than others will. Affiliate marketing, to use one example, is a great task for someone who wants to earn money on a part time basis or to supplement your already existent income. Is it truly possible to earn a full time income in this manner? You could if you pick out only the right products and then work like crazy to promote them. A far better approach, nevertheless, is to create your own products or websites and then promote those. This gives you full control over the projects you take on and how you accomplish them. And you will end up more likely to stick with it in the long run. If you want to give a service on the web this works much the same way. Writers, for example, need to create websites for themselves and create portfolios that they can point to as examples of their work.

Finally, perhaps the most significant thing that you need to recognize is that, when you want to build a long term and reliable income on the internet, you need to truly dedicate yourself to your task. You might have fun and feel rewarded by your efforts but first you should tell yourself "yes, I really want to do this." Making a half hearted effort is not about to get you anywhere.

Five Steps To Publish Your Ebook In Four Popular Formats Part 1 #EBookPublishing

Five Steps To Publish Your Ebook In Four Popular Formats Part 1

Just about everyone has an eBook Reader these days - Kindle, Nook, IPad, Smartphones - and there are even desktop readers for Windows and Mac. It just seems logical that if you want to publish a book it would be best to go the digital route and write an eBook. Self publishing a book in this day and age is easy compared to what it used to be. Publishers would decide what was published and what was not published.

Now, with the advent of the digital age the average person can write and publish a book without any middle-men and reap the rewards. The expenses for publishing a book are greatly reduced. One disadvantage is you have to do all of your marketing to sell your book but even this is reduced if you publish with the major eBook vendors such as Amazon and Barnes and Noble, as they handle most of the marketing in the beginning.

Too many people become frustrated when writing a book and often give up. It is just like blogging. All you need to do is write. This is what you need to focus on. The rest will come later. Don't think about the formatting yet or how you are going to market the book at this point. You will have to format it later and once it is published do the marketing and I am going to show you how to do both of those things.

What will you write about? Go with your strengths. If you are known for your non-fiction writing then stick with that. If you are good with teens or you have recently come back from a mission trip then talk about your experiences and emphasize the importance of it. You should be able to draw the reader in to your experiences.

I am going to show you how, after you have written your eBook, to format it in the Kindle format, the Nook format, the LIT format, and PDF format. I will also go briefly into the marketing of your book but there have been whole books written about this subject but I am going to tell you what I did and you can take it for what it is worth.

Your Manuscript

Creating your manuscript can take several avenues. You can write it in Microsoft Word to create a doc file, Open Office Writer and save it to a doc file, write it in straight text format and wrap that text with html around it. I have tried all three and my experience has been that html is the best way to write your eBook. Microsoft Word and Open Office Writer is great for centering, bold, italics, a clickable Table of Contents, but eventually you will have to take those doc files to html and they both put way too much unnecessary code into the html file and it is really bloated.

The reason you have to take them to html is because the conversion programs for the different formats does a better job with the conversion process from an html file than it does with doc files. I know for writers you feel you have better control on the look of your book if you do it in a doc file but the look of the final eBook is horrible in my opinion. You just have better control if you first write you book in straight format and then wrap the html around that. It just produces a cleaner look and feel and it is less bloated with the unnecessary code.

Don't let html scare you. It really is not that bad. You will not have to learn very much and besides, a lot of the html code is not compatible with the Kindle for instance like tables which do not show up well on the Kindle. The incompatible code is simply ignored. and if it is ignored why include it.

The best way to illustrate this is for me to take you through the process I use to create my manuscripts.

First, I open up Notepad that is found on a Windows machine. On other machines use the comparable text editor. I don't know what it called on an Apple machine but those who use Apple will know what program to open. I then write, right in the Notepad document the outline of my book. This includes all subjects you are covering in your book. I then go back and write what I am going to write on each of these subjects. I then add the front matter which includes the Table of Contents, the dedication page, the introduction, the title page, and any other parts that preface the "main part" of the book. It's basically everything before you get to the actual content. The body matter is the actual book which include the manuscript itself. The body includes chapters and sections. The back matter includes all the parts after the main part of the book which include the index, epilogue, glossary, appendix, any other sections that follow the body of the book.

Once the writing has been done I organize the front matter, body matter, and back matter into a logical flow. I then go back to the beginning and wrap the html around the entire document. It is beyond the scope of this book to explain all of the html tags. There are readily available in other books or websites but basically tags have an opening and closing tags.

Once this is done, the next thing I do is create a linked Table of Contents. What do I mean by a linked Table of Contents. First I create the Table of Contents then go back and make each element of the Table of Contents clickable so that when the user clicks on that link it goes to the exact place in the book.

Once all of the html is wrapped around your book you are now ready to start formatting for the various formats. If you have done the initial html properly its just a matter of converting the html form of your book to the proper format which we will get into next.

Format in Kindle Format

Since I am most familiar with the Kindle format I am more familiar with the different programs to do the conversion. There are three ways that do the best job of conversion of an html file to a mobi or prc file.

The first is to simply open your email program and send the html file to Amazon for conversion. The TO file would be name@kindle.com or name@free.kindle.com. The first, you would have to pay .15 for the conversion but if you have wifi on your Kindle you would send it to the free.kindle.com and your file would be converted and sent for free back to you. In the subject do not include anything else but "convert". Attach the html file to your email document before sending and in a few minutes your converted file will be sent to your Kindle.

The second way is using Mobipocket Creator which is a free program and is found at http://www.mobipocket.com/en/DownloadSoft/default.asp?Language=EN On the right hand side click on the "Download" to download the program to your computer. Once the program is downloaded and installed you are ready to do the conversion of your html file. I must warn you, however, If you have Internet Explorer above version 8 that Mobipocket Creator crashes on the Build. Either abandon this method or downgrade IE to version 8. Now we will continue to show you how to convert with Mobipocket Creator.

Double click on the icon for MPC. On the upper right hand side of the screen you will see "Import from Existing File" and you will be given 4 choices: html, doc, text, and pdf. Since our file is html we will click on html. The import screen will appear. Click on Browse and choose your html file. Then choose Browse to choose your Publication Folder. I usually choose the folder where the source came from. Now click on Import and your html file will be imported.

Romantic Suspense Author Maintain A Good Balance Between Mystery And Romance #EBookPublishing

Romantic Suspense Author Maintain A Good Balance Between Mystery And Romance

Romantic suspense, as the name suggests, tend to be a particular type of fiction where you’ll find a great balance between mystery and romance. Romantic suspense book deals with a mystery or suspense which the chief protagonists face. Typically, the female protagonist of this novel is an innocent sufferer of an attempted offense. She takes the aid of the male protagonist to solve that mystery, and in this process, be in love with him.

Romantic suspense novels are offshoot of romance genre. So, it has lots of characteristics of a classic romance. At the middle of the plot comes the relationship of the heroine and the hero which develops together with the suspense part. The romance between these protagonists affects that mystery which they’re trying to solve. Likewise, the twists of the events as the examination proceeds, has strong impact on feelings of the heroine and the hero. In the end, the romantic suspense books end with the solved mystery and the protagonists together in a stable relationship.

Romantic suspense novel written by romantic suspense author are different in style and tone from the usual romance novels as its primary focus isn’t just on the romantic coalition between two people; however, on mystery surrounding them. Such novels are thus plot driven rather than being character driven. Romantic suspense authors have to maintain a suitable balance between the mystery and the romance element. The tone of such novels is more racy and brisk; the language is cleaner and not as intimate or sentimental as in a usual romantic novel. Romantic suspense’s are very well-liked with the reading lots and there is a number of winning romantic suspense authors serving to this demand.

Romance novels come under the more diverse and broader literary genre called women's fiction. Women fictions deal with any type of fiction written especially for the female readers. This can deal with suspense, romance, contemporary issues, marriage and relationships. Novels dealing with issues faced by contemporary women in modern society are grouped under the chick lit often.

It is an American jargon that started getting fame towards end of 1980's. It definitely is a particular kind of women's fiction since it deals with modern women and the varied issues faced by them. It is very diverse from the usual romantic writing as female character is revealed as an independent and strong person who has potential to face difficulty and can learn from own mistakes. She’s no longer the inactive suffering victim of the circumstances. It covers a large range of female experiences, pertinent to the current times, like broken relationships, love, career struggles, motherhood, and search for the self-identity.

Romantic suspense fiction and chick lit have another major variation. In a romance, focus is on relationship between the heroine and the hero. In contrast, the primary center of chick lits is on heroine. There might or might not be a usual happy ending. What are important are the numerous situations which the central character has to face and how they outline her professionally or emotionally. Romance may be a part of such experiences.
