How To Share What You Love While Making Money From Niche Ebooks
Do you love to write?
If the answer is yes, and if you have uniquely specialized knowledge that will interest online surfers and users, you stand a great chance of making huge money online by writing and publishing your own niche ebooks.
Here’s how:
1. Sell ad space in the book. You can boost your earnings from your writing if you sell ad spaces to marketers who have products that are compliments of your book topic.
Depending on the size of the ad and the projected sales of your ebook, you can charge up to $500 per ad. You can also use some of your book space to promote your own products and services.
By doing so, you can increase your sales and revenue without adding additional advertising cost. Just make sure your creations do not look like neon riddled yellow pages which will probably end up annoying your readers.
2. Sell your ebooks. This is the fastest way to generate income from your creations.
Write about interesting topics, something that meets a need for potential clients, and promote your niche ebooks online using effective advertising tools available on the internet today.
You need to make sure to properly build-up your offerings by highlighting the features and benefits so you can increase their value in the eyes of your potential clients.
3. Use ebooks to generate traffic. As a marketer, you probably understand why it’s important to drive quality traffic to your website. It’s like getting massive people inside the door of your brick and morter store. The more eyeballs on the prize, the more likely someone will buy.
You can attract possible customers by using your niche ebooks as a funnel of trust for your site. How? Give away your niche ebooks to draw potential clients to your site free of charge. Load them up, chock full of goodies, providing massive value that a potential buyer will find interesting.
When you are able to impress your readers and make them see that you are really good on what you do, you can be assured that they will return to your website again and again. Post your site’s URL on every page of your ebook to make it easy for your readers to find you and give you a visit.
4. Capture your visitors names and emails for your list building campaigns. You can grow your bisiness faster and richer if you can effectively capture the email addresses of your potential clients.
You can boost your sign-up rate if you give away valuable material such as a free niche ebook as a reward for visiting your site. By giving away information that is relevant to your customer’s needs and demands, you establish yourself as a maven in the industry and create loyalty for your products and brand.

That Interesting Astounding Brain
There are number of habits of the brain that just might astound you.
To name a few:
Short term memory can only remember about 7 things (5 – 9 at most) and that is why the phone number is always seven digits.
Chartreuse is the most visible color since is places in the middle of the visible light frequency and as a result causes more receptors to fire.
Our brains aren’t all that great at probability tending to think more details make events more probable, when quite often they make them less likely since there are more items to complete.
There is a high probability that we will misremember past events, and quite easy to latch onto a suggested memory that never actually happened.
And as for remembering those dreams, the component of the brain that carries information to long term memory turns off during sleep and as a result dreams are not laced into long term memory. The only ones we tend to grasp and convert are the bits and pieces that remain in short term memory upon waking.

Emergent Properties of the New Consciousness
Emergent properties are intrinsic to complex systems, bringing with them greater depth as well as greater simplicity.
Take the example of water, 2 parts of hydrogen and 1 part of water unite to form a brand new entity with a unique quality not existent before called wetness.
In this time of full system collapse and reemergence, emergent properties are coalescing to orchestrating the arising of brand new elements into our lives. This is happening through the combination and recombination of elements in our lives into never seen before entities with new and emergent characteristics.
There are numerous changes (big and small) coming through from technology, population expansion, environmental issues, economic collapse (to name a few), that are alchemizing spectacular changes and never seen before results. These are the times and we are the people for a whole new order of being and doing, something that human potential evocateur Jean Houston calls Jump Time.
A new world is gestating - and because of this we need a different sort of mind to understand and align with the changes that are rising up to meet us left and right in our culture, county and world.
What are the characteristics of this new mind, the nature of this different consciousness that is gestating, this consciousness that must be complexx enough and yet simple enough to serve the deepest processes of life and not just our little local selves?
It’s obvious new characteristics of mind are needed, as Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. ”
So we repeat our question once again. What are these new characteristics? I intend to explore some possibities in the days and weeks ahead.
As Flash Gordon would say….Stay Tuned.
Emergent Coaching
Here is a great article about a coaching model that I deeply resonate with. It explores how to become a fully engaged human being by allowing the emergence of the seeds of your deepest inner essence to sprout forth.
Emergent Coaching and the Eco™ Model
Author: John Waine, Executive Coach
What is wrong with the traditional coaching process?
This is a question that has been with me since I first came across the word, “coaching” and wondered what it meant. It arose out of a feeling that something was amiss in the coaching process; but could I put my finger on it? Could I heck. And not many people were even interested in trying.
Virtual Coaching Office
This past week was quite a treat for those of us who love the chance to get to use some of the newest “techie” goodies.
Part of the Hilton Johnson Coaching Program includes an online virtual office website, a members site for coaches and their clients that includes everything from forums to secure email and chat ability, an extensive library of expert information (article and multimedia) on practically every health related issue, as well as goal setting tools and mood calendars. There is a Fitness Center that acts as your very own personal trainer that not only suggests what exercises to do and when, but also comes with videos on how to do the suggested exercises correctly.
There are even a variety of unusual assessment exercises that help you determine such things as your auyervedic and enneagram types. (On the enneagram I’m a 2 - a helper - which is probably a good type for a health coach).
I got my first chance to begin exploring the site that has now become part of my bag of coaching tools this week, and have had a hard time stepping away from it, the information is so extensive and soooo sooo fun to use. You can find the site at http://www.healthcoachingu.com
Stage Coaching
One model of coaching called the Stage Coaching approach recognize that there are six stages required for change. This is the same model the American Cancer Society uses, since it has proved the most effective in changing the habit of cigarette smoking.
Stage 1 – Pre-contemplation . Until we realize we have a problem we remain blissfully unaware that anything needs to be addressed, unconscious of the fact that there might be any kind of problem whatsoever.
Stage 2 – Contemplation. In this stage we realize there is a problem and something needs to be done, but we don’t know what nor are we ready to take action yet. This is the information gathering stage.
Stage 3 – Preparation. We are committed to making a change – but need to prepare ourselves first. This might mean, cleaning the ash trays out of the house, creating a plan, or setting up a support system.
Stage 4 – Action. We are now ready to put our plan in place and take action.
Stage 5 – Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance. Staying on course and chugging away until the new course of action overrides the old and becomes habitual.
Stage 6 – Termination. The new course is such an ingrained part of our life no more focus needs to be placed on the process of changing the old to the new.
Three Levels of Listening
Listening occurs on three levels. Level I listening where the focus is on oneself instead of the other. The client should always be using Level I listening but never the coach. The coach’s focus should never be on their own judgments and reactions, but always on the other.
Level II listening is focused listening with one’s focus placed completely on the communication coming from the speaker.
Level III listening, on the other hand, takes into account not only the words of the one who is speaking but also intuitive hunches, environmental factors, the proverbial ripples in the stream, emotional flavors and feeling tones, what the other is not saying as well as what they are saying. In other words, Level III listening is global listening, focused on the big picture.
A coach should always be listening at Level II or Level III but never at Level I. Level I listening is reserved for the client.
It is a good practice to monitor how we listen in the world. So many of us tend to fall into Level I listening,. no matter the circumstances. We tend to sift and evaluate all conversations in which we engage with the agenda of “What does this mean to me?”
Empowering Questions
Empowering questions help the coach and client discover what is important. They cause the client to think, and they clarify and cause the client to elaborate in ways that are useful to the task at hand. And most of all they cause the client to take action.
Ordinary questions involve yes or no answers, while empowering questions are open ended that begin with who, what ,where, when, etc.
For example one might ask: How does such an action serve you? What concerns do you have about following that path? or Would you say more please?
By listening carefully, your intuition will prime you as to what the next step should be in the coach/client relationship.
There are no right or wrong questions in coaching but some questions are better then others.
7 Steps of Coaching
During the first coach training session we discussed 7 steps important to the coaching process.
1. Setting a Goal. What is the issue the client wants to resolve during their coaching session, such as eating more nutritiously, starting an exercise routine, or addressing an ingrained habit like smoking.
2. Creating Emotion – For the most part, people use 2 main emotions to escalate change. They include moving towards pleasure and away from pain, with the latter being the more powerful for most. To encourage desire for change it helps to bring the emotions into play to enhance these 2 catalysts of change.
3. Discussing the Starting Point of the one being coached. In order to get from point A to point B, one needs to know where point A is.
4. Uncovering the block. What has kept the client from success in the past? What is it they can’t seem to get beyond that stimulates them to seek out the services of a coach.
5. Taking Baby Steps (Kaizen) What is one small step the person being coached can take in the direction of their goal? A step so small they have no doubts that they could accomplish it. (We’ll speak more on kaizen in later posts – it’s the foundation of my whole coaching practice)
6. Uncovering Support – does the coachee have the support from family and friends they’ll need to follow through with their commitment?
7. Holding Accountable – the coach needs to hold the person being coached accountable by asking the question, “When will you take the baby steps you agreed to and how will I know you did it?”
All during the process, the coach is expected to maintain a non-judgmental atmosphere of deep listening conducive to questioning and uncovering the hidden gems of possibility.
