INTERNET MARKETING

In a survey of Goodreads' 15 million strong membership, he found that the main driver of eBook purchases was, unsurprisingly, 'referral by a friend'. But when a follow-up question was put to readers, another powerful sales strategy for authors emerged.

They were asked: "What do you want to do when you get to the end of a book?"

The telling response was this: 83% wanted to see what else the author had written.

Yes, always include blurbs and links to your other books AND blog. The key is adding this not only at the END of your book but also at the beginning as well.

  Yep. I always add advertising of related ebooks I have written at the end of each report. It is a good way to make more money. Sometimes it sets off a chain reaction of sales because different reports are mentioned at the end of each ebook.

How liberal can you be in creating that section of your ebook for Kindle, Nook, Apple, and Google stores?

Can you include thumbnail images of your other works along with short blurbs and links? Can you add the first chapter from another series of your books to entice them to start reading that series? (along with a link to the purchase page, of course)
