I don’t care for the eBooks that try to teach you how to sell more eBooks. The closest thing to an information eBook I’ve written is a “How to set up a Squidoo Lens to Sell Your Book” and it’s a FREE download

Holly, if I can figure out who you are on Twitter, I’ll add you. I’ve been on the Internet a l-o-n-g time too.

I have to ask whay are you NOT selling ebook versions of your book?

I mean being realistic some people would love to print them out and bind them in a nice style of their own, you could see it with something like my friend http://dianealdred.com/ does…. could do something like this, ask Diane to jv with you or something, Diane does a pdf with pics and explainations of bookbinding etc.

You do the pdf versions to print. :O)

Just an idea.

You should think about ways to maximise your reach for the book.

While I am glad you agree on my point of the people selling ebooks on getting rich selling ebooks, that’s not to discredit pdfs themselves.

Used properly they will market your real book better, further, faster, easier, and freely. :O)

Imagine the lesser real cost of selling pdf versions, even at a cheaper rate the mark up is higher than the real books. :O)

As for your twitter grade.

Look at it this way, your comment made me think..
“is ALL you think of the bottom line being in monetary terms?”

Well look at this blog here, revamped with help of twitters, is that not helping my bottom line in one way or another?

Withoiut twitter I wouldn’t have got it right.

With twitter it’s about the QAUILTY of those you follow and interact with, rather than what time you spend there.

Relationship building IS what builds your bottom line. ;o)

Use twiiter as a way of connecting to the right people for your business and see what it does to your business? ;o)

I think you miss out by NOT using it. :O)

Regardless, it’s whatever you feel best for you and your business and I won’t say it WILL help as I have no idea if it will.

I think it depeneds alot on your relationship with those on there more than anything.

That grader bot is a good example of social proof in action. ;o) regardless of whether we see it as worthless or not.

It’s tapping into it the right way ;o)

Thanks for the comment.

Hope you book continues to sell well.

PROVE to me it improved your bottom line measurably, I might rethink that – but I need proof. Not a grade from a bot.

Yep, I’m schlepping my books online, but at least they’re PRODUCTS – you know, like a real honest to goodness children’s picture book (hardcover, not ebook – something you can read together at bedtime) – not books on getting rich quick by selling reports on getting rich quick and rooking other people into doing this and sharing half the profits with you and … whatever. Life’s too short.

And I have no illusions – I can’t quit the day job, so I want to have fun while I’m doing my “shameless self-promotion” thing.
