A ’sticky’ ebook is an ebook you’ve created that your market will devour and rave over. Want that? I thought so – who wouldn’t?

But…uhhh…you haven’t written your book yet? It’s still lying around on those lose pieces of paper on your desk?

No problem…here’s a very cool, very simple 5-step process you can use immediately to write your eBooks (notice I wrote bookS, not book!).

Now you can easily make those freebies, low-cost ebooks and even e-courses that you’ve been putting off, and start cashing in on your unique expertise.

The Sticky eBook Formula contains a dynamic, simple process for thinking up, writing and producing an eBook that will build your brand, boost your authority and that people will pay for.

Do you do handmade jewelry or crafts?

Small prints or T-shirts (with your logo, sayings, drawings or unique photos on them)?

If so, you might want to create a site on http://Etsy.com.

It isn’t for everyone, but maybe it’s for you. It’s a fabulous source for people who want handmade creations.

Last year alone, people on sold $180.6 million-worth of goods. That wake you up up a bit?

TRACKABLE TWITTER LINKS?

Recently I sent out an email about the freebie coaching sessions. I had a tremendous response to that, but I wondered what would happen if I tweeted it and sent people to a post on my site.

So I posted my same email onto my site and then tweeted a shorty link. I got almost a third more responses than from my list – making it close to 2000 responses in all. I tweeted it three times in three days around 10pm Hawaii time.

If you want to double your reader-rate: create your newsletter and send it to your list; then post it on your site, then tweet it. Make a title you know people will respond to – mine was ‘free biz success sessions’ and the included link.

Instead of tinyurl.com for making shorty links, I used http://bit.ly, because I can track my links! That’s how I know I had so many tweet responses. It’s a fabulous tool.

You might say I’ve been a bit busy handling it all, but am I stoked? You bet!

I follow marketing expert Suzanne Falter-Burns’ work because I like how down-home and casual she is.

She’s very successful, and markets her work without a whole lot of hooha, hype or fanfare.

This week on her blog she posted 13 really good tips you can use to get more exposure for your work through twitter and Facebook that are easy to do, not mysterious and best of all, no cost.

GIANT JELLYFISH SINK JAPANESE FISHING BOAT! WHOA!
It’s science fiction come true -

A 10-ton fishing boat has been sunk by giant jellyfish off the coast of Japan.

The trawler capsized as its crew tried to haul on board a catch full of huge Nomura’s jellyfish. Oops! Read more HERE. Sure glad I wasn’t on that boat!

KILIMANJARO SNOWS GO AWAY W/IN 20 YEARS?
The snows capping Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, are shrinking rapidly and could vanish altogether in 20 years, most likely due to global warming, a US study says. The ice sheet that capped Kilimanjaro in 1912 was 85 per cent smaller by 2007, and since 2000 the existing ice sheet has shrunk by 26 per cent, the paleoclimatologists said. Read more HERE.

HOW CAN ANYONE BE SO CLUELESS?
“Dude, Where’s My Car? In April 2009, Jeff Sabold, the owner of a luxury auto dealership in Texas, called 911 to report that he was “scared and lost” and had parked his 2000 Ferrari on unfamiliar train tracks after making a wrong turn. “Tell me what you saw on your way to nowhere,” the dispatcher suggests. “Railroad tracks and some woods,” Sabold helpfully replies. This meeting of minds was interrupted by Sabold’s offhand follow-up: “There’s a train coming, I’m going to get killed.” ” Watch this–I could hardly beieve my ears when he even said his name! I’d be so embarrassed I’d want to bury myself for at least ten years…HERE.

ACCORDIAN? REALLY?
Mark Frauenfelder

This is simply astounding. Who’d ever think you could play an accordian like this? Watch this incredible boy playing HERE.

THE COUNTERFEITERS
“The film tells the story of Sally Sorowitsch, a master counterfeiter who is imprisoned at the start of the war, and who curries favor in Auschwitz with his painting and drawing. Sorowitsch is rescued from Auschwitz and sent to run Operation Bernhard, amid captive bankers, artists and printers from Germany and Russia. Sorowitsch is a likable anti-hero, honorable but self-interested, the perfect pivot for the story to revolve around.

“The Counterfeiters is an emotionally complex–and often horrifying–film about the prisoners’ dilemma (literally and figuratively). A superbly acted and scripted cast of characters play out their intense moral conundrums: supporting the Nazis by printing currency for them; saving their lives while outside their compounds others are dying; and other situations in which solidarity and self interest lock horns, with no easy answers….”

A 7-PATTY HAMBURGER? YOU’RE KIDDING, RIGHT?
Wrong. Check this out. Grossness at its best: Burger King Gives Japan a Seven-Patty Challenge
By Coco Masters / Tokyo

“Burger King has not exactly lived up to its name in Japan.

It has only 15 stores nationwide, compared to McDonald’s roughly 3,750. But there’s no denying that Burger King now offers the biggest burger in town.

This month, the American fast food chain, in a oddball marketing tie-up with Microsoft, launched the Windows 7 Whopper, a 5-inch (12 cm) tower of meat stacked with seven beef patties and weighing nearly a kilogram — more if slathered with ketchup. The magnitude of meat has evidently….” Talk about pathetic market plays. Read more HERE.

RATINGS: 10/10 EACH!

EASY RECORDING WITH NO EXTRA EQUIPMENT
AudioAcrobat.com is a fantastic resource and is only 19.95 a month if you use it right (making sure that when you post an audio it is only downloadable–this saves you enormous bandwidth charges). Included is the ability to post your audios and podcasts on iTunes for free, giving you millions of listeners who wouldn’t necessarily find you.

I do have a bridge line I use to record my teleclasses (more about that below), but I like AudioAcrobat.com for my interviews and my private sessions.

I also like it that you can use AudioAcrobat.com to record your other audios, podcasts and videocasts, and publish them to iTunes, too–you can’t do that on any of the free or for fee bridge lines.

THE BEST BRIDGE LINE, EVER
If you want a bridge line that is more than just talk…

EXPERTISE RATING: 10/10

Most of us in business–whether service-based or with products to move off the shelves (cyber-shelves or ‘real’ ones) are always on the lookout for new or better ways to get more clients.

No clients, no biz, right? And the less effort we can use to get those new clients the better, of course.

(Impatient? Want to take action right now? If you’ve been frustrated, feeling business-anonymity, and working way too hard to get way too few clients, I suggest that you reserve your spot on her upcoming call: sign up here.)

You may not know this: there’s one thing about your business that can attract or repel those clients as strongly as any outright advertising.

It’s called your brand. I hear a lot of people talking about branding nowadays. It’s funny, because not long ago, branding pretty much meant ‘out west,’ ‘cattle,’ ‘cowboys,’ and so on.

Not now. People are getting savvy about branding. But look out! Read the rest of this entry »

ARTICLE RATING: 10/10

This is a snippet from a guest post on Problogger.net, a blog I really respect, written by Mark Hayward. You can follow Mark on Twitter @mark_hayward. Image by Tyla 75

Is this you?

You have a polished website for your small business and even a professional blog where you publish posts a couple of times per week, and both are meant to help spread your story and bring more sales.

However, you are a bit frustrated because based on your initially optimistic website and blog marketing expectations, for some reason the customers just aren’t coming.

Many small business owners that I know (myself included!) have faced a similar predicament. It can be a bit disheartening on a daily basis knowing that you have a mortgage and bills to pay, yet your online efforts aren’t really providing a return.

When I started my business a few of years ago I made a nice website and a companion blog and waited for the customers to come rushing down the road and break down my door. Well, I continued to wait for about six months and it garnered minimal results… *insert crickets chirping here….*

At first I didn’t really know what the problem was. READ THE REST of this great article HERE.

I’ve been getting notes from people wondering what to do. Perhaps one or several of your own questions are answered here.

FOR BECOMING A PRACTITIONER?
1. Would this be good for someone who’s just learning tapping, but would like to become an energy therapist?

I want to become a really excellent EFT practitioner. I get great results with people, and I love to help them get past blocks and heal their pain and start to live an expanded life–like we are supposed to live!

My reply:
If what you are asking means is this a good package for learning how to become a practitioner, then the answer is no.

If you want training to be a great practitioner, I highly recommend Lindsay Kenny’s courses–even if you have to hock your jewels. If you can swing it to take her 9-day, you’ll walk out a darn good certified practitioner. You can also get excellent training by others, such as through Annabel Fisher’s AAMET certification trainings.

EFTers are in demand. But you need to know how to market so people know what you’ve got!

I’m really enjoying the information so far…a lot to digest!

Thanks,
Elizabeth Burke

Angela, You presented all the marketing information so clearly–step by step instructions that are simple and easy to follow. Thank you for this brilliant idea and interviews with such amazing experts. What a value!!!

FOR LEARNING BUSINESS & MARKETING?
2.  I need to learn how to market my practice. Marketing scares me. I’m not very good with getting many clients, much less groups of them. Will your package help me get over my fear of marketing?

My reply:
If what you are asking means is this good for building my business and getting good at marketing it, then it’s a resounding yes!

When I first started, I had no idea my practice and my business were 2 separate things. I just figured I’d practice and no big deal.

But as time went on and I saw how other people had plans and strategies and were marketing in certain ways, it finally dawned on me that if I did those things, too, my business would grow better and my practice would expand, as well. What i in this package will help you with all of that.

If you want a really good education as to how to set up what you need in order to market and run your business, then yes, get the EFT Biz package. It is not a course, per se, but rather a whole collection of how-to tips, mindset, marketing and administration tools and tactics that will help you enormously.

As I’ve said before, if I’d had this at the beginning it would have saved me gargantuan amounts of time and energy and even heartache. Like, there was one thing Lindsay said to me that, when I started using it, I made over 2400 right away, no new clients, no big deal – just a way to say something to people.

———
This is an awesome collection, and I’ve learned a lot! I really liked the feel of Brad’s interview. Your prior relationships with everyone shows in the interviews, and it feels like I’m listening to a cozy, intimate, conversation between friends, not cold, preplanned interviews.

And the information!  You are really digging, and getting the gold. I am learning so much, and It feels really good to be getting a solid foundational education. This is definitely top shelf. You’re doing a very good thing for EFT.

Thanks!
- Susan Denham
———
Gwenyth Moss, one of the experts who shares her expertise in this package, says this:

I’m taking time to browse through all the material in The Insider Secrets to A Successful EFT/Energy Business. There is so much excellence in there!

I have used one of your ideas immediately and built a portal page for my name domain that I’ve been holding for some time and done nothing with–gwynethmoss.com.

And doing this whole project with you has got me thinking about marketing again and going a step up with the technology–time to get to grips with audio acrobat… and my hardly used digital camera…

with love

SHOULD I WAIT?
3. I’m broke right now, but if you can honestly tell me this will help me, I’ll scrape the money together and get the course somehow. Should I buy your course now while it’s “on sale”, and then go to Lindsay or AAMET to learn how to be a practitioner? Or should I get certified first and then get this package?

My reply:
If I were in your shoes, you can bet I’d get the package now. There have been other courses I’ve bought and paid my rent money for, and it was well worth it. I feel the same about this one–it’s well worth it.

Remember, you can always go do practitioner trainings. But I won’t ever be offering this again at such a low price. And that’s not the usual marketer’s hype–when I say it, I mean it.

In case you need it, here’s the link: go here and sign up to be a VIP at LittleRedTappingBooks.com.

Hi Angela,

Thank you for the truly fabulous contribution you make to the ‘energy world’.  You’re really authentic and I love your writing and drawings. I passed your details to a client here in the UK and she loves your style too.

Thanks again, and warmest good wishes,
- Margret R.

Go for it! We need you and your passion and your growing expertise–but unless you learn how to grow your business in a way that won’t collapse on you because you didn’t know what to do at the start, and if we don’t know you’re there with your practice, how will you succeed?

This ends at precisely midnight, NY time on Monday.

There’s a whole lot more to this package than I have room for here, so mozey on over to EFTBizSuccess.com and check it out.

If you are not already a Little Red Tapping Books VIP, then go to LittleRedTappingBooks.com and you’ll see where you can register to be one up in the left hand corner of the site home page.

When you sign up, you’ll get the link to purchase the Program.

•  Stay focused and aligned all through the holidays!

•  Discover money-making & money saving tips, tactics & strategies!

•  Make good money AND keep your spiritual values intact!

I know that using these audios and ebooks will help you keep yourself and your business focused on your goals and aspirations all the way through the holidays.

Especially because it is not the same-old, same-old business rhetoric. All the experts I interviewed on the panel expressed how they were deeply concerned that they stay connected to spiritual beliefs before money ever came into the picture. I love that spirit-first, business-from-that attitude, and I know you will, too.

I suggest you start out by listening to the audio with Business Success Expert, Carol Tuttle–it is awesome.

Hope this helps clear up your questions!

aloha -
Angela

p.s. I’ve been interested to watch the stats as smart people invest in this business package: 98% of them were bought from countries outside the USA.

In Europe, 99.98 USD = 66.00 Euro–not a bad deal! But if you look at what the package usually goes for: $357.00, it is a pretty amazing discount. It will never, ever be this low again, I promise.

Hope this has helped you. Comments are open!

Happy Early Thanksgiving! Since holiday season insanity is almost here, I wanted to provide you with something that would help you create and maintain a spirit-based business high throughout the season–and beyond.

For years, I’ve had this voice–well, Voice–that wakes me up with ideas. I call it the Voice of Dreaming, and it’s given me some of the best ideas I’ve ever had.

So I asked it to give me an answer to holiday confusion, and I woke up on Friday morning with an idea that surprised me. It said, why not tell people that, for the next week only, when they sign up to be Little Red Tapping Books VIPs, you’ll give them the EFT Business Success Package for $99.98 instead of the usual $357?

Hmmmm. OK, I liked that. That’s a savings of $257.02 for over 17 hours of audio and a ton of ebooks full of the best energy business ideas and tips, tactics & strategies….!

Cool! And so (Check it out (but do not get it) HERE)…if you are an Energy Therapy, EFT/MTT or Holistic Practitioner, and you have wondered….
