As soon as a cherished project such as your initial ebook or ecourse has been completed, we will need to turn our attention to the marketing and advertising of your project.
Here’s where points sometimes turn somewhat complicated if the author and the marketeer are one and the same individual, and here’s where we have to be cautious and take the proper steps in the suitable order, so we may possibly remain on track.
In order to write ANY form of marketing and advertising material for your ebook or course, you want to be totally FAMILIAR with all the rewards of your product.
Now it seems obvious that the author, of all men and women, Must be familiar with the benefits but there is such a factor as over-familiarity, as nicely as having been immersed in the project for a lengthy time and therefore not seeing the proverbial forest for the trees any longer.
I was assisting just such an ebook author and absolute AUTHORITY on writing their key sales page the other day, and I was astonished that they couldn’t answer particular fundamental questions I put to them, such as:
“How lots of chapters are there in your book?”
“How quite a few pages does your book have?”
“How several illustrations?”
“How countless words?”
“What’s the ISBN?”
The answer was normally something along the lines of, “Ahm … I guess I could look it up …”
Oooh!
These are the type of “technical details” that are handled in a publishing home by “other men and women” – but of course, in internet publishing they require to be recognized Specifically by the author, given that these points comprise the “technical specifications” of the product and a prospective purchaser might well enquire or will need to know up front prior to they make their acquiring decision.
But that is just an example and in a way, it is the tip of the iceberg.
What became incredibly apparent was that the author in question had missed out on the very first step of ANY marketing analysis.
This vital step, which is the core topic of this write-up, is Necessary to be able to write any form of advertising copy, to target the correct audiences with the right approach and to marketplace the product, full stop.
This first step is called “the rewards extraction”.
*** How To Do The Positive aspects Extraction ***
You require a printed out copy of your book or course, A lot of empty pieces of paper, a big pot of coffee and then, you take off your author’s hat and instead, you put on your marketing hat and go by way of the text, 1 PARAGRAPH AT A TIME, and (azteca) “extract” ALL the rewards that could possibly accrue for the
reader/user/learner AND all they come into contact with *if they follow the advice and procedures outlined* exactly.
There is a Massive range of prospective advantages that can and will be found in this process, and even just before we get into the text and content itself, there’s also benefits such as:
Beneficial sized print – easy to read for older persons, stay away from headaches!
Beneficial use of white space – quick on the eye, relaxing reading
Nicely structured – data flow is logical, and therefore easy to know and discover
Totally indexed – issues are painless to uncover, you can rapidly get to what you need to know.
Valuable diagrams and illustrations – pictures say extra than a thousand words …
… and so on.
Once you get into the content, you will notice that at times, a single sentence or paragraph hides a Main benefit, such as:
“The SINGLE little identified SECRET to all your marketing issues!” (Page 23)
Take your time and maintain backing up and asking your self over and over once more, “What Benefits will the reader/user get from this?”
Quickly, short term, long term?
Do not stop with points like,
“Reader will discover how to use the snarkometer …”
That is not a benefit.
A benefit is what occurs WHEN you use a snarkometer as its creator designed it to be employed – so the benefit might be:
“Reader will be able to capture even well hidden, rare and elusive snarks.”
From there, you can go on to further future positive aspects, such as:
“Reader will develop into renowned and wealthy from his snark sales.”
That is the point, soon after all!
*** Sorting Out Your Positive aspects ***
If you do this effectively, you will discover HUNDREDS of positive aspects, massive and small, and for all sorts of distinct applications, situations and people today, and from all sorts of different angles, in ANY decent ebook or ecourse.
You will have them all written down, as they come, with the referencing page numbers on your several sheets of paper.
Now it is time to sort them out.
Firstly, go by means of your list and come across the Main positive aspects that would make the most beneficial HEADLINES and significant bonus lists.
As soon as you’ve got those, your advertising and advertising falls into location for the reason that now you know WHAT IT IS THAT YOU ARE SELLING!
“Deep down”, of course you knew that all along but it is extraordinary how “deep down” this stuff generally is and how (astecc) challenging 1 has to dig to get it out of the authors to bring it to the surface!
Pick out the top ten advantages and transfer
them to a new sheet of paper.
Now, pick the next 20 or so which will become advantages in lists on pitch pages, or will be laid end-to-end in classifieds and sales letters.
Finally, take all the rest and sort them out in any way you want.
You could possibly find that a particular marketplace emerges that you hadn’t thought about just before with their OWN advantages list that is really separate from the general primary advantages, and where you can then market your product accordingly.
You could possibly nicely obtain material amongst those rewards that you can use to write articles or engage in customer “education” – explain how and why these advantages arise in separate articles so they get to appreciate what you do and how Valuable your item certainly is.
You will locate suggestions, headlines, tag lines, and pure advertising GOLD COPY in this advantages extraction and analysis.
And as soon as you are accomplished, NOW you are ready to write Actual advertisements of all kinds – and you will come across that now you Really KNOW what your item is from the marketer’s standpoint, you will also be able to SELL IT TO Others.
Oh, and 1 additional thing.
A advantages extraction is also possibly one of THE most motivational and exciting points any author or creator can do for THEMSELVES.
Yup, it is all true. It truly is THAT good, and it Really has all those rewards!
It’ll do the world for your self confidence AND for YOUR ability to begin shouting about the awesome positive aspects of YOUR astounding item from the rooftops – and that in turn, leads to a whole lot far more sales, more cash in the bank, additional joy and freedom and adore all around!
So if you have not however done your word-by-word extreme positive aspects extraction, go for it NOW.
It is absolutely THE 1st STEP to ALL future advertising.
Great luck and surprise blessings,
Silvia
