Just some short, administrative “heads up” stuff today.

I’ve decided to move the Webdev category content over to the WordPress Reader issues on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Any traffic-building content I think I’ll start integrated with the Marketing category right here.

Speaking of which, even if you aren’t a WordPress user, you may want to take a periodic casual glance through. There’s stuff in there that can be wordpreneur-beneficial in general.

The latest issue, for example, has links to the following not-necessarily-WordPress-specific stuff:

  • 17 Ways to Get Design Inspiration from Other Websites
  • 25 bug tracking tools for websites
  • How to Get and Install an SSL Certificate for HTTPS ASAP
  • Web Design Best Practices for Reviving a Stagnate Website

At any rate, enjoy today’s featured selections!

1+tip[1]

“Can’t you give me just 1 tip (for getting book reviews)?” she asked

“The other day a newly published author who had befriended me 5 minutes earlier asked me if I could give her just one tip how to get book reviews from Amazon top reviewers.

I told her to read my book.

She came back with, ‘Can’t you give me just 1 tip?’

Hmm… Apparently this author was not aware how much in demand these reviews are; on average Hall-of-Fame reviewers get 250+ review requests per month.

So, I told her that getting a book reviewed by an Amazon top reviewer isn’t a ‘1-tip thing,’ especially if the book did not have any reviews yet. Getting reviews is a challenging task that encompasses many steps; which is why my book has 100 pages.

She immediately un-friended me.

I guess that says it all. Just another wannabe author who does not really want to learn the trade. The indie author industry is overrun with people like that. The sooner they get out and make room for the people who really hone their craft and all skills, the better for all.

Of course, from experience I know that most indie authors work a lot harder than this one.

So, here is one tip for authors whose books received already a few reviews (including from top reviewers).

‘Like/find helpful’ the reviewers’ reviews!!!”

$4,344.81 in 40 Days with my Fiction Book Only Spending $30 on Advertising

“I had a plan. A big plan. Heck, I had the plan of the universe — to sell thousands of copies of my new release Science Fiction book, Project Atlantis, during the first month I published it.

This plan started six months before I started writing the book. The plan entailed rapidly finishing three books in a series — Project Atlantis, Destination Atlantis, and Colony Atlantis — and once it had been edited, beta-read, and sent out to my ARC reviewers, I’d release Project Atlantis, then Destination Atlantis seven days later, and Colony Atlantis fourteen days after Destination Atlantis. Additionally, I’d have the fourth book, Beyond Atlantis, almost 100% written. Yet, I’d have Beyond Atlantis’s pre-order already up and running before Colony Atlantis was released, all the while dropping over $1500 dollars in Facebook Ads, Amazon Ads, and on Promo Sites, and whatever else I could get my greedy paws on.

Well, I did none of the above.

Here is what happened that led me to only spending $30 on Facebook and Amazon ads and how I was able to make $4,344.81 in 40 Days with my Fiction Book.”

How To Bootstrap Your Startup By Selling Services

“There’s a big change that I think needs to happen in the way we build businesses. It’s a change I can see coming, not for everyone, but for some few people who see a business as their life’s work, not their payday.”

How to Successfully Market Your Crowdfunding Project

  • Excerpt

    To start a business, you need seed money — something to work with in order to get started and get through that first round of expenses. There are a few different ways to get that money including: saving up your own money, taking out a loan, asking for investments, and crowdfunding.

    That last one is a clever way to get seed money from your target market without putting yourself in crippling debt. If other methods of getting startup money don’t sound right for you, consider crowdfunding. Get enough people interested in your product willing to give you a few bucks and you have your start-up money. Because of its nature though, crowdfunded projects have become increasingly common, making it harder for people to stand out.

    If you want to reach your crowdfund goal, you’ll need to know how to attract an audience, entice them to donate some money to you, and be able to resolve any concerns they have.

Five Things I learned writing a book about independent magazines

“Too many publishers wait until their magazine has gone to press before they start promoting it. This is far too late. Promotion needs to start before you start compiling your first issue.”
