Do you have a business card for your ebook?

Having a business card for your ebook will help you market your ebook when you’re offline.

Usually offline, people will ask you what you do. Yes you can say you’re an “Author” but then what? Do you just leave it at that or, do you whip out your business card?

You don’t?

Then you are losing sales. People love to brag about “meeting an Author.” So it behooves you to be the one they remember.

And this is done with a business card.

If you write ebooks, you don’t have a physical book to show them so a business card will work instead to increase your credibility in their eyes. You’ve just given them something physical they can slip in their pocket and later when they’re on their computer, they’ll normally go on Amazon, Nook or other e-Reader ebook stores and check you out.

Will they end up buying?

Copywriting

Does copywriting come EZ to me?

Yeah right, then you woke up. I equate it to going to the Dentist. Painful but necessary.

Why painful?

You have a choice when you self publish your ebook.

You can either self publish one ebook at a time or you can wait until you have 4 or 5 ebooks written and self publish them all at once.

Which is better?

Well that depends on how you fast you write and what type (genre) of ebook you self publish.

If you write literary fiction and produce a book every 10 years, then by all means self publish your ebook when you have it finished. You will be making income from it all during the time you’re writing your next book.

On the other hand, if you can write (crank out) a particular fiction genre ebook every 3 months, then maybe you should consider waiting to self publish until you have the 4 books done.

Why?
