Re: [IronPython] IronPython in Action Out!
Also done! Looking forward to it. You might not get rich, but you could make some good money :-). 1. There were around 18,000 searches for ironpython in March in Google, another 2000 or so for related terms. (https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal). 2. Put up an Adwords campaign that takes people to a special landing page explaining what the book has to offer, testimonials, and a link to buy (promote the e-book pdf over the hard copy for instant gratification/better margin). Something like: http://www.perrymarshall.com/google/?gclid=CLPB_uKx6ZkCFcxL5QoduTpBPw but less cheesy/hard sell for a cynical technical audience and a direct CTA to buy. 3. Allow people to download some choice chapters for free from the landing page in #2, delivered via email (and agreeing to opt in). 4. Put the people in #3 on an autoresponder (chain) informative marketing campaign where you send them choice pages and tips; one email per day for five days, then one per week for four weeks, then one email per month until they unsubscribe. Aweber.com is good and cheap for this. 5. Profit :-) You should be able to get a good clickthrough rate with an ad that reads: Line1: IronPython in Action Line2: New Book with Rave Reviews Line3: Download Your Free Chapter Now ...so assume a 10% CTR. On the landing page, you should be able to get a 10% conversion rate between direct buys from the landing page (5%) and the chain email marketing campaign (5%). So 200 sales per month...if your average profit per book (ebook and regular) is $10 then you could bring in $2000 per month or $24K per year. Maybe more if you raise the price of the book ($39.99?). /end free Internet marketing advice Adam Adam Brand SilverKey Technologies -Original Message- From: users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com [mailto:users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com] On Behalf Of Alex News Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 10:11 AM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] IronPython in Action Out!
