    Coaches, Mentors, Experts, Authorities Note

      Think back to when you first learned to ride a bicycle. Imagine how easy it would have been to learn if someone simply gave you some written material, each issue focused on one part of cycling. For example, here’s a webinar showing how a bike works; here’s an ebook on the best position for your saddle; an infographic with the different types of bikes for different aged riders, and so on. What if someone invited you into a group where you could discuss riding a bike with others who were learning? Would that get you riding? What if someone showed… Read More »Coaches, Mentors, Experts, Authorities Note

      Book Snapper Author Book Theme

        It’s VERY rare for a theme to be specifically developed to meet the needs of a rather ‘niched’ market like authors.

        How To Handle Refunders

          Just read a thread talking about a guy who launched a product. He got a sale and within 30 minutes the buyer asked for a refund. I’m sure he made more sales but this topic is about refunds. One of his threadsters (think I just invented a word!) called the refunders “scum”. Calling refunders scum is a bit rich in my book. Sure it’s frustrating. You inwardly celebrate a sale and almost while you’re still punching the air, the refund request lands like a ships’ anchor on your joy. I’d guess that most refunds of easily consumed products like PDF’s… Read More »How To Handle Refunders

          Meet Your Committments Head On

            In your enthusiasm you often say “yes” to things. That’s a good thing. If you commit to something, do the thing. That means planning ahead and being ready ahead of time when you can. Not ‘getting ready’, but actually ready. Allow for things to go wrong, things to come up, priorities to shift. Build that comfort factor into your plans. When you commit and don’t deliver you not only disappoint yourself you also disappoint those relying on you, mand your fans. And at the end of the day, there are no excuses. You either do. Or not do. If you… Read More »Meet Your Committments Head On

            Product Creation Plan

              There are any number of businesses to be in online, whether that is stand alone or supporting your offline business. If your thing is creating informational or educational products for people then the trick is to have a definitive overarching plan. And we know any plan can be flexible so long as we’re heading to the end goal. What I have been guilty of doing is relying on inspiration. Something will trigger in my neo-cortex and I’ll immediately get to work on realising that thought into a product. Or, I’ll grab a notepad or PDF or mindmap of the trigger… Read More »Product Creation Plan
