E-BOOKS and E-HOOKS - Using Your Social Links Profitably
You might be wondering what I mean by e-hooks? Well it simply means getting hooked up socially on the internet via social sites like myspace and others.
Now, you will also be at crossroads, the relationship between e-books ad e-hooks (a word I coined myself).
From the title of the article, you don't need a soothsayer or probably a wiseacre for you to know that this is an article filled with humor or maybe satire if you prefer that.
But, on the contrary, the purpose of this article is not humor intended, but to show the distinction and interdependence of two factors as a product of success in all ramifications, especially as an infopreneur.
If you are new to terms like web 2.
0 or social dating, then this might sound Greek to you; but if I am allowed to make use of my new term (e-hooks), in this order it will mean getting hooked up electronically (via the internet) as every new word in English these days are prefixed with an 'e' below are some examples; Book- e-book Mail- e-mail Money- e-money Currency- e-currency Gold- e-gold etc: and now enter the new kid on the block according to me HOOK- e-hook! Now to the concept of making e-book to suit e-hooks; social dating sites like hi5.
com, facebook, and the most popular of them all, myspace: are social sites where you can get this idea into full swing; when you sign up for membership of these sites, you get to meet social friends daily.
Like yesterday I met a very good friend on myspace, fortunately for me, we share so many thing in common; like she is a stickler for doing things right, she loves writing just like me, and the most amazing thing about this new friend is that she loves football passionately just like me.
With such a friend, you develop a very good relationship through e-mail, chatting online and offline or even speaking on the telephone, amazing isn't.
As the relationship develops, trust also comes in.
this is where you come in with your product, your e-book.
On my previous write ups, I have never treated e-book as topic; however as at the time of going to press, my e-book is still in the burners; soon to be released, and if you stay (e) - hooked up on this site and other article boards I post my messages: you might get a free copy of it.
Back to why I choose to put up an article about e-books when many articles about e-books have continuously been discussed on this site and many others.
Well I did not just write in generic terms as is the case with this kind of article, but rather I decided to get a step further by introducing another dimension as regards this all important niche by exposing the social angle(e-hooks) relative to the business aspect of it (e-books).
Well as they say 'e-books the future', laying credence to this, for one to tap profitably from this money spinning industry-you have to distinguish yourself by doing something different yet the same, and social networking opens to you this window of untapped opportunities.
I am sorry if I have digressed so much, but I am doing so to crave your indulgence.
Now to the crux of the matter, using your e-hooks to get free advert for your e-book(s) and at the same time get your bank account swelled up sociably (sounds funny!).
I presume you must have signed up with either hi5.
com, myspace or Facebook or the three of them.
The sign up fee is 100 percent free.
Build your profile; build your community by making new friends, meeting new and wonderful people and then keeping your relationship with each of them to a profitable level.
There is something I will like to share with you; in the business world both online and offline, you deal with people on the business level: no trust, no compromise and no mercy, but in the social world the reverse is the case.
This is a world I will love to refer to as "utopia".
Here, every body you meet is to be trusted, loved, respected and vice versa; and as such any proposal made on this level or platform is greeted with an air of approval.
This is where you come in business wise, juxtaposed on a social platform.
I also know you must have built a large social online community like I am presently doing.
Stop! Have this in mind, that this community is where you get the prospects for your product i.
e.
your e-book(s).
Protracted interactions with your community help you identify the problem of each of them, and basically almost all of them have similar problems: problems like 'how do I get my first check doing online biz?' how do I get a cheap design and hosting service for my website?' how do I break up, get a divorce and maintain my sanity?' how do I become an internet guru?' what are the best sites that discusses golf, football etc?' 'What is the meaning of RSS feeds how to get an RSS hosted on my site and what do I do with it? 'Why should I write articles/e-books?' The list is endless, and to these notable friends, these problems look colossal; but as a dependable friend they look up to you for help, as no better person to help them get their problems over than a social friend.
Now the question is, 'how do I help these friends?' simply pick up a particular niche, study it, make researches, note your observations and demystify the problem.
Next, gather all you have observed and noted down, compile them to look comprehensive and your e-book is ready.
I don't need to go into the specifics of getting an e-book ready for publication; however, if you need this info; hit any search engine, on the search template type 'making e-books' or any other search pattern related to your search.
You will get loads of info on the subject matter; you can get a deluge of articles discussing this topic on this site or any other article board.
Now, your e-book is ready for distribution, and to do this you don't rush things.
Remember, you've built a high level of trust between you and your social friends, and this is not the most suitable time to advertise your e-book for sale, so my best advice to you at this point is to do what I will do.
Give your e-book away freely to them.
Sounds incredible! Look let me tell you something- the psychology on the internet is that information is free, and most people love freebies, everybody! So giving your e-book to these friends free of charge does two things for you: 1)It increases the level of trust they pose in you 2)It also gives you a professional look, as you are now viewed as an expert on the niche you have chosen to demystify From the above points you will notice that your profile rises and this go a long way to make you more dependable and sought for by these friends, as they won't consider it a bad investment to part with some extra dollars for your next project (e-book) as announced in your free e-book Remember, in your free e-book, whet their appetite, withhold some salient details, give them free links that links back to your webpage if they want to read more, this helps in building constant traffic for your site.
In so doing, you not only solve their problems, but you send more money into your bank account while having fun.
Remain blessed, see you at the top, and above every thing go get e-hooked up!
