Have you ever heard the expression, " the quickest way to reach your goalsis to help others reach their goals?"I remember this expression and use it as my Internet product marketingplan. It has paid off with 3 best selling books for me in the past year. Ialso sell a great deal of consulting projects as well.How does it work in Internet Bookselling? Let me explain.Websites generally have three characteristics that help them consistentlyremain in the top search engine standings:1. Websites must add and change their content often. (Once or twice a dayis perfect)2. Websites must offer an e-zine or newsletter. The top websites offernewsletters and e-zines that are delivered via e-mail every day.3. Websites will usually have their own bookstore with an affiliation orassociation with Amazon.com to allow visitors a method of purchasing booksthat complement the information on the website.Top websites spend a great deal of time and money to remain at the top ofthe heap. Everyone wants to be there, but only a few can hold down thosetop positions.Understanding these three characteristics have enabled me to achieve mygoals by helping websites achieve their goals.Step One: Search for the Big Guys on the InternetI have two areas of expertise. I am a hypnotist who writes books ande-books on how to achieve success through hypnosis. I am also an E-bookMarketing Consultant and write books on how to write and sell e-books.In order to find top websites that may be interested in hypnosis, I searchon broader topics like "health" and "mental health." For my books on E-bookmarketing I search on topics like "Internet marketing" and "E-commerce."Even though there are hundreds of search engines and thousands ofdirectories, I begin with searching on Yahoo. Yahoo is a directory that isdifficult to get into and even more difficult to maintain a high ranking.>From my own experience once I made the top of the heap in Yahoo, under"hypnotism" my web traffic more than doubled and stayed that way over thepast three years.Therefore, I conclude that the websites that arise to the top of Yahoo willbe much more highly visited than through other search engines and directories.Step Two: Help the Webmaster Offer More ContentOnce I search under the two major categories that fit my topic, I sende-mail to the webmasters at those sites sending along my article or samplechapter.I tell the webmasters I would appreciate posting my article for theirreaders in return for a short bi-line or description on what I do and alink over to Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com or my own website in return forthe favor.Most webmasters jump at the opportunity at receiving free content thatallows them to maintain the high rankings on their websites.Step Three: Help the Website Newsletter EditorThe top ranking websites also sponsor their own newsletter or e-zine. Aftercontacting the webmaster about content added directly to the website, Ithen contact the newsletter editor in regards to placing an article orsample chapter in the newsletter. Sometimes at the bottom of a sample newsletter there will be specificinstructions on how to submit articles. Many times there is even a sectionon the website where you can post your articles directly to the editor.After following the directions in the newsletter, I submit my article orsample chapter to the website newsletter editor.I have just added more content to their website, again helping the websiteincrease traffic and at the same time direct interested visitors to my bookofferings located in the author's bi-line.Step Four: Help the Website Bookstore Make MoneyMost of the time, you will find that the top websites also have their ownbookstore. Usually the Website bookstore will be an "associate of Amazon.com."For example: You search on the keyword "health" on Yahoo and are taken tothe top five health sites. Let's call the top website "health.com."After navigating around the website you find a Health.com bookstore thatoffers many titles on a particular aspect of health you are interested in.When you click on a book cover on that website, you are immediately sentover to a book description page on Amazon.com.If you look at the complete link that shows up in your browser you will seean URL (the Internet address) which looks something like this:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1929695217/healthcom/104-2910323-8772701The two most important parts of the link are the ISBN number which is thenumber called "ASIN/" which is Amazon.com's identification number, and thewords following the book's ISBN number which is "/healthcom.""Healthcom" is the website's Amazon.com Associate identification number.This number allows the website to get paid for any sales that result bysomeone clicking on the link and then purchasing the featured book onAmazon.com.The next thing you do is shave off the number off the end of the URL.Now the URL will look like this:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1929695217/healthcomIf your own book title listed on Amazon.com has an ISBN number or ASINnumber of 1585003557, what you do is insert that ISBN number in place ofthe website's featured book.Now the URL will look like this:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1585003557/healthcomThat new URL is going to mean instant book sales for you.Take your revised URL with your book ISBN and send a short message viae-mail again to the webmaster of the website. Ask the webmaster to feature your book on the website. Mention that you areincluding the URL with the website's Amazon.com Associate identificationnumber.Within a few days you will begin to see a surge in your book sales as aresult of this technique.
