What the John Carter of Mars Movies Mean to SF Fans

Posted by admin in Book Shop

You have to have been hiding under a rock not to have heard about the collaboration deal between Disney and Pixar to bring Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars books to the cinema. The first three movies are scheduled to start showing in 2012 (probably 2012, 2013, and 2014). Taylor Kitsch will play John Carter and Lynn Collins will play Dejah Thoris. These two young actors have already appeared together in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” but now they will be paired as pulp fandom’s favorite swashbuckling couple.

Speaking of fandom, there are plenty of Edgar Rice Burroughs and John Carter of Mars fan sites but finding them is no longer very easy. All the news and blog sites that have been competing to cover the developments in the movies have squeezed the legitimate fan sites out of the search results for “John Carter of Mars”. That’s a problem the fan sites will have to contend with on their own terms, but ordinary people may not catch on for a while.

There are of course some great fan forums that provide John Carter of Mars movie discussion where fans can browse the latest news and share their thoughts on the characters, books, and the idea of a movie. And some fan sites also offer John Carter of Mars product stores where people can browse books and other items. It’s too soon for the official movie franchise products to have been designed and brought to market, but rest assured they are on the way.

What should be really cool will be the eventual sneak peaks, fan reports, and interviews with cast and crew. Hard coe fans of Edgar Rice Burroughs and John Carter will no doubt be joined by a new generation of excited young readers and film-goers who will imagine themselves fighting green men and white apes on the ochre fields of Mars or on great battleships cruising through the Red Planet’s skies. Exciting days lie ahead, make no bones about that!

Powerful, Profitable Topics for Your eBook - Current Events

Powerful, Profitable Topics for Your eBook - Current Events

You have thought about writing your own eBook for months
now, but you just can’t seem to decide on an idea that
will get you started?

Don’t be discouraged, you are not the only one to face
the daunting task of choosing a profitable topic for
your information product.

As information product developers, we are always seeking
opportunity triggers. Always looking for clues as to
what problems we can solve or desires we can tap into.

Sometimes we try too hard. We spend weeks researching,
discussing, testing and pulling our hair out over that
next blockbuster topic for our products.

As usual, the obvious escapes us as we make things too
complex. Current events satisfy the requirements for
providing a terrific source of high-profit potential
(HPP) ideas. Unless you live in a cave, on the
international space station or work in a university
or the government (sorry couldn’t resist!) you can’t
help being exposed to hundreds of potential product
ideas each and every day.

Here are some excellent sources of current events that
you can easily spin into your own infoproduct ideas:

1) Daily newspapers and weekly magazines
2) Listen to local radio stations and local cable
networks
3) Tune into special interest groups in specific
areas related to your interests (ie. business,
economics, health, education, sports, etc…)
4) Observer the “Water Cooler” discussions - they
are excellent clues as to what the “hot” topics
are in people’s minds.
5) Monitor online discussion groups for topics that
bring in information normally outside the narrow
scope of board content.

Audri Lanford and Rick Beneteu recognized the
increasing emphasis placed on spirituality since the
trafic events of September 11th. What did they do
about it?

They developed a compilation of authors, speakers,
trainers who discussed the role of spirituality in
business and published “Success - A Spiritual Matter”

These infopreneurs worked hard to bring together a
compilation of interviews that dealt with the issue
of ethics and spirituality in business, so far this
project is a HUGE success.

If you are looking for a new idea, looking at how
to differentiate an existing idea, or simply looking
for how to increase demand for an existing idea - then
try and link your knowledge, skills and interests to
current events. You may just get the concept for your
next blockbuster information product.

Protect Your Product!

Posted by admin in Book Shop

If you are planning to convey Resell Rights to your hard work and trust it to your resellers, be very, very careful!

Most Resell Rights authors have their hard work wasted down the drain due to poor Resell Rights planning. A lot of factors are taken into consideration, but today, I would like to share with you on how you can protect YOUR product from getting devalued or even damaging your own reputation for that matter.

And it is all in how you architect your Resell Rights terms and conditions.

I won’t tell you how to architect your own terms and conditions. It’s your own product, not mine. But you will want to ask yourself the following questions. The following are 5 main questions you should ask yourself when writing your terms and conditions:

[1] Should I allow my resellers to sell at any price they want? If no, set a minimum product price and suggested retail price.

[2] Can I allow my resellers to sell in auction sites like eBay.com? If no, restrict them!

[3] What happens if my resellers print my E-book and sell it in hard copy? If you don’t want that to happen, clarify this in your Resell Rights terms and conditions!

[4] Can my resellers edit the principal sales letter?

[5] Can my resellers give the product away for free? If not, what are the additional terms and conditions?

Going Beyond Ebooks - Adding Value & Usability To Your Info Product

Posted by admin in Book Shop

Many people immediately think of ebooks when they hear the words “information product”, but there’s so much more you can do with your information products that will make your products more useful to your customers AND will help you make more money.

Why Your Customer Benefits from Different Information Formats:

People learn and like to consume information in different ways. Many people do like to read and printed reports or ebooks will do the trick for them. Others like to listen to information. They may want to download audios to their mp3 players, burn them to CDs so they can listen in the car or listen on their computer while they attend to other tasks. Some people may prefer to watch and you may even want to include video in your information products.

Why YOU Benefit from Different Information Formats:

When you offer different formats, you can increase the perceived value of your products. A product that is just a downloadable PDF may not be seen as valuable as a product that offers an ebook, audio recording and transcripts. This means, you can charge more for your information product…increasing your bottom line.

You can also reach more customers with your multi-media information product. Some people won’t buy ebooks because they’d prefer to listen. Others may have slow Internet connections and can’t easily download mp3s, so they would rather have typed information they can read. There are so many reasons why customers prefer different formats and it’s easy to provide those formats…so why not go the extra mile.

Keep in mind accessibility. People with visual impairments may find it easier to listen to your audio and those with hearing impairments wouldn’t be able to listen to your audio. Don’t limit their options.

And Don’t Just Limit Yourself to One Product:

It’s tough to make a great living off just one information product and if you make a great product, your customers are going to want more. So, when you’re creating your first information product, make a plan for additional ebooks. These can give more in-depth information on certain topics, could contain more advanced techniques or anything that your target customer would be interested in.

Alternatively, if you can’t develop your own line of products immediately, ensure that you have some backend sales lined up and recommend further products through affiliate links. Always make the most of your marketing efforts!
