Alright! LOL! Just trying to be informative. I forgot that no one reads anymore. How do I sell a book to someone who won't read a website?Keep cutting the amount of content
This is the homepage for my domain. Don't I want navigation tabs for people who have already purchased and are just coming back to hang out?get rid of the navigation sections on the top.
How do I sell a book to someone who won't read a website?
Add a prominent "buy now" button.

Uh, yeah. And my sales page (I thought) is the landing page to which I drive traffic through linking and ads. The direct type-in traffic is expecting something a bit more home(page)y. Right?Have you read anything about landing pages?
With the addition of the forum and blog, hopefully they will come hang out like we hang out here.Why do you feel that after someone has bought the book that they will come back and hang out?
Well that takes the pressure off! LOL.Because most people buying non-fiction booksdon't actually read them.

Thanks! They look great. Help me make them clickable in HTML? Rep+.I made up some quick "Buy Now" Logos in photoshop for you.
Great idea! Thanks!How do you invoke an instantaneous feeling? You do it with pictures.
Remember MJ's post about forums?
I kinda hoped people would buy it, read it, like it or hate it, and discuss it. Share lucky stories argue with each other about whether it works. Tell me about errors or stories that should be included in the 2nd edition.what are they going to talk about in the forum? A lucky event? who is going to care enough to respond? You just need to sell a book, thats all.

Well, Lulu will print on demand and fulfill, but it takes them 3 to 6 months to get to it. I decided to get the ball rolling myself and print 100 and sell them on Amazon myself. If the demand were to get so high that I couldn't handle packing and shipping them all (a guy can hope) then I could upgrade with Amazon to have them ship and fulfill. I don't know how to get them interested enough to buy and warehouse copies...Can I ask how the physical book sales are done via Amazon? Does a print on demand order get fulfilled by Lulu, or has a box of books been printed and stocked by Amazon?
Thanks for the hot tips, MJ. A/B testing is incomplete, but it favors the winners pic.ooooo like the changes to the landing page. The photo of "winners" made me feel something IMMEDIATELY!!
OK. I added a second button that just says "Buy Now."Inexperienced web users may not know you can click on "get lucky"... may want to think about adding "here" or another phrase that indicates CTA.
I am using Get Response, and I just need to sit down and create two to four valuable newsletters to blast people with. I'm also working on a Luck-Struck subscription service with monthly advice, lotto picks, etc.An [auto responder] series would weave right in there beautifully...you may not have enough credibility currently, but implementing relationship building now could be very powerful.
Good on you, Skyler!PEERless said:Russ, you might be proud of my leapfrogging to G.M. in the hospitality world.
