Editors Note.
------------------------------------------------------------

Dear subscribers,

Welcome again to a new edition of "SmartPromotion
Newsletter". Good to have you here again.

Now... please fasten your seat belts for some useful
freebies coming down your way :-)

==> FREE EBOOK

I received a new Ebook from Michael Southon, called
'Traffic Magic'. You may find it interesting, because it
shows you how to use the power of Ezine articles to
increase traffic to your site and increase subscriptions
to your Ezine...

... or let me say it in other words... to make more profits
for your online business :-)

You can download it here - and of course it's FREE:
http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/trafficmagic.zip

(The Ebook comes in .exe format.)

==> FREE ECOURSE

I also created a FREE email course; "Profit Generating
Ideas". The course contains 10 lessons that show you
the easy way to make more profit from your Web Site
or Ezine.

Okay, I admit... there's not really an "easy way"... but there
will be one if you have finished the Ecourse :-)

You can join here -for free- if you already didn't :-)
http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/10dayecourse

(If you sign up, you'll receive a FREE brandible Ebook
called: "Ebook Magic", by Tom Hua. You can insert your
own info and affiliate links inside the Ebook to make
money from.)

PLUS, you also have the option to put my new Ecourse
on YOUR own autoresponder... yep, also FREE! (Some
others dare to charge you up to $150,00 for distribution
rights to their stuff... but not me :-)

This Ecourse will guaranteed boost your online sales,
because I'm giving you the option to earn money on 15
different products!

Details on how to set up the Ecourse are located here:
http://www.smart-web-promotion.com/getresponse.htm

==> SEARCH ENGINE NEWS:

You've probably heard the news that the 2 biggest search
engines on the Web; Yahoo! and Google, have teamed up.
Yahoo! will now also display Google's top listings.

This means that if your site already ranked high in Google,
you will also rank high in Yahoo! - and this without paying
the hefty $199,00 submission fee to get your site indexed
in Yahoo!

So, it's more important than ever to get a good Google
listing -after all, for many small web businesses, getting
traffic from the search engines is the easiest way to get
people to their web site -for free!

"New Search Engine Secrets Exposed", a new search
engine guide, by John Lim, has helped me to get my
ebooks-made-easy.com site presently in the Top 10
in Yahoo!... AND in Google right now.

Think I'm bluffing? Ok. Search both search engines for
the "sell ebooks" term, and see who comes up in the
top 10 - yep, it's yours truly :-)

If you want to get the same result with your site, I highly
recommend you to download John's "New Search Engine
Secrets Exposed" right now:
http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/searchenginetips.htm

Remember, you just can't do it all by yourself... we all need
help... and that's nothing to be ashamed of...

To your online success!

PS: I also managed to squeeze Jason Potash, owner of the
EzineAnnouncer, to set up a Special Offer for my subscribers.

Jason agreed, but only under one condition. This offer will
expire at Dec 1, 2002! And no, this is not a sales trick!

No ifs, and, or buts! Once it's gone it's GONE. Do yourself a
favor and click below right now:
==> http://www.ebooks-made-easy.com/ezinespecial.htm

You'll get $303 in FREE "bonus" bonuses if you act now...
including $94 in special bonus gifts!

EzineAnnouncer comes with an incredible one-year, money-
back guarantee. Put EzineAnnouncer to the test 100% risk-
free. Give it a try. You have nothing to lose:

from my web site?" A: "From the "EbookWholeSaler Club!"

Every month you get over $27 worth of Ebooks to sell and
you keep all the profits. Plus every book can be configured
with your own affiliate ID's, so it becomes a salesperson
that will earn you even more. Click here for more:

Smart Promotion Tip
------------------------------------------------------------

Recently I've received several messages from my
affiliates asking me to explain why they've found
unexpected sums of money in their Clickbank
account, all attributed to "sidder" (and that's me :-)

The answer is simple... I have changed my original
affiliate Clickbank program, and now I use a -I may
say- "sensational tool" called EasyClickMate.

I can now sell multiple products -from multiple web
sites -using my original Clickbank account.

I used EasyClickMate to set up my "Profit Generating
Ideas" Ecourse, as mentioned above, to share all my
profits with those people who put the Ecourse on their
own autoresponder. Ok, I want to become a Saint :-)

EasyClickMate also enables me to provide additional
protection to my affiliates, by preventing others from
stealing their commission by switching my affiliates
ClickBank nickname for theirs!

Sounds complicated? Believe me, it's not...

You can see right here how it works:

Article of the Month
------------------------------------------------------------

"Let's Get One Thing Straight About Being A Published
Author"

by Jim Edwards and David Garfinkel

Just for fun, evaluate the following statement:

"Most people want to write a book and get it published,
but that's simply impossible 99% of the time."

Is the above statement true?

Not exactly. What's true is that most people THINK they
can't write a book and get it published. And while that's a
widely-held belief, just the opposite is true.

In fact, it's easier to write and get published today than
ever before - especially thanks to the ebook "revolution."
The field of ebooks is literally wide open for all who are
interested - including, perhaps, you!

What does it take to write and publish your own ebook?

Three things:

1) A TOPIC you are interested in that others would also like
to know more about.

2) The DESIRE to get the ebook written (note - you can write
it yourself, but you don't have to. There are other proven
and simple ways to get your ebook written and published for
you.)

3) A simple, one-page, "sales letter" WEB SITE to sell the
ebook.

Does it take a lot of money or any special aptitudes? Oddly
enough, not really. You have to be willing to take action,
certainly, and learn as you go, but there are no special
educational, financial or talent requirements to become a
successful ebook author.

The truth is, it costs very little to get started. You can
get a domain registered and online for as little as $9 to
start and $6 a month for website hosting.

In fact, there are actually six ways you can create an ebook
without ever writing a word of it - so you don't need to be
a skilled writer. We'll tell you about one of them,
in-depth, right now.

Think of a topic you know something about that you'd like to
write an ebook on.

Once you have that topic in mind, then all you need to do is
write a list of questions other people would pay to get the
answers to... give that list to a friend... have the friend
call you on the phone and ask you those questions... record
the call... have the recording transcribed... and edit the
transcription!

Presto - you've just created a "meaty" ebook fast! (Yes, it
really is that simple!)

By the way, if you don't want to transcribe or edit the
ebook yourself, you can get both of those things done for
you for surprisingly little money... as little as a few
hundred dollars, total, in many cases.

That's how we wrote our most recent ebook.

As authors ourselves, we came up with a list of questions,
got on the phone, recorded the answers, and had the entire
4 1/2 hour conversation transcribed. Using this phone call -
transcription - edit route we created an ebook in about a
week. It cost us a total of $163 to produce it. (We hired
out the transcription, and did the editing ourselves.)

So far we've spent *zero* money on advertising and, as we
write this article today, we've sold over $49,683 worth of
that ebook in less than six months!

We're not unique in that way. We know many others who have
successfully published ebooks - including another small
publisher who has used this exact same method to create
dozens of ebooks.

If you can clearly understand a specific problem, want, need
or desire of a large enough target audience and then create
a publication that helps them get what they want, you stand
to make a lot of money and help a great number of people at
the same time.

If there ever was a "golden age" of publishing, NOW is the
time. The truth of the matter is, today anyone can become a
published author with an ebook in less than a couple of
weeks. Between us, we have 11 ebooks online and we're
making money every day, even as you read this.

You can do the same. Opportunity awaits you right now.
It's never been easier to seize the day and go for your
dream - become a published author!

Jim Edwards and David Garfinkel are co-authors of "eBook
Secrets Exposed," the authoritative resource for making a
lot of money quickly writing and publishing your own ebook.
Guerrilla Marketing series author Jay Conrad Levinson says,
"If ever there was a 'must-read' for this century, it's this
book." For more information...

How to setup a "One Time Pop-Up" window

Pop-ups are an effective marketing tool to sign up
new people to your Opt-In list, but they can be very
annoying and rude when they keep "popping up".
Here's a script that uses cookies, to determine if the
visitors have seen your pop-up before. If they did,
next time they come back, the script will read the
cookie, and NOT open the window again.
