    Ideas For New Website -Think Tank

    IDEA 
    My $0.02. There are plenty of websites like that already online, like the one we are on. What is going to make yours different? Why will people go to your site versus this one? Also, no offense, but there are all kinds of spelling and grammar errors that I see in your writing. I'm sure...

    Hey guys! So in my previous thread https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/idea-bucket-need-analysis/45744-my-ebook-how-i-increased-annual-rental-profit-150k-2-years.html, I have been documenting my progress on an eBook that I have written about property management. It started off strong, but sales...

    My eBook - How I increased annual rental profit 150k in 2 years

    LOL, I'd be lying if that was the case. I get your point though. Traffic is really coming through, close to 200 unique visitors and over 400 page views. My LinkedIn base is close to 100 property managers now. For some reason, I'm having a hard to getting the conversions though. I am...

    Looking for help marketing my eBook. Affiliates?

    MARKETING 
    Still looking for guidance on affiliates, but I have gone ahead and started marketing through Google Adwords, Bing Ads, and Facebook Ads.

    Lol I guess that wasn't the most accurate statement, but what I meant was he has the system in place already. That work has been done and now he just has to focus on promotion.

    UPDATE So I now have 9 sales and a little over 100 views on the page. I decided to go ahead and take advantage of the free advertising credits I have with Facebook and Bing. Just created the accounts and had to give them my CC info, but I don't intend on continuing to pay unless I see some...

    First $600 Profit - now what?

    As a frequent "idea hopper" myself, I understand exactly what you are talking about. I think my girlfriend gets annoyed because I pitch everything to her, usually one every day or two. Like MJ said, ideas are a dime a dozen, execution is what is really important. I realized that coming up...

    My eBook - How I increased annual rental profit 150k in 2 years

    To be honest, three of those were pre-determined sales from colleagues in the industry. So 5 out of 40 is a more accurate sample. What is an average conversion rate?

    My eBook - How I increased annual rental profit 150k in 2 years

    Thank you JT! I may reach out to you at some point as I am considering getting onto Amazon as well. For right now, I think my focus will be the website and eventually I will cross the threshold into the online book store market.

    My eBook - How I increased annual rental profit 150k in 2 years

    I would have to think about this. Most of the eBooks I looked at did not offer a sample of the book, although I do understand your point. even MJ gives the sample. I have made a couple deals with people, including some forum members, to read the book and write a review of it for me...
