If you’ve been to any of our tele-seminars yet you’ll have a good idea that in order to build a list of potential customers you have to provide great value content and advice first. One of the best ways to do this is to write a book. If you write a book  that has great content that you can give away for free – people will pass it onto others and spread your fame. This is the concept behind viral marketing.

Spreading The Virus

As long as you have lots of links to your web site in the book, and a reason for people to visit your site to get even more great information – then your free book will eventually create you a wonderful list of targeted prospects. If you make your book a downloadable digital book (as a PDF) then not only is it easy to pass around, it is also dirt cheap for you to distribute.

Okay, okay that all sounds good I hear you say, BUT…….. It will take me for ever to write a book and I have no idea how to produce it and who will I get to pass it on if I don’t have a list yet? That’s where we come in!

First Members’ Collaborative E-Book

We will help you to create a viral e-book and help to spread the word with the first Wonderful Web Women Group Book.

Here’s the plan. All Gold members are invited to contribute an original article (never seen anywhere else) on the topic of the book. You can include a biography and link to your web site as well as a special offer to readers of the book. The offer must be genuine and valuable enough for people to visit your site and submit their contact details in order to access the offer. This is how you build your list.

The great content and the excellent offers will make the book viral.

All members, free and gold will have give-away rights to the book as a gift to their list (or just friends). We can all work together to suggest ways to make the book go viral as together we will come up with some great ideas that we would rarely come up with on our own.

Share Your Ideas

I suggest we aim to have the book ready to “publish” at the beginning of the new year. It is a logical time to give a gift and a way of inspiring people to make the most of the new year.

Tell me what you think.

We need a title and topic to start with. How about “Getting Your Head Straight For 2008″ with different ideas on how to create your own success in the new year. The target market should probably be women – though I’m open to your ideas.

So tell me:

  • What would be a good topic
  • Ideas for a title
  • Ideas on promoting and helping other to build our lists
  • What do you think you can contribute
  • There is also a need for proof reading and graphic design so if you think this is an area you can contribute you get to promote this in the book as well.

This should be fun and the first of what I hope will be many collaborative projects.

Cheers

Janet

    This sounds really great to me.

  2. Hmm… good concept. How about a title such as:

    1. “Top 10 Ways to Maximize Your Success in the New Year” – this is not time-dated by year and tips can apply in future years, as well as being generic enough so that multiple sub-topics can be included to capture the varied inspirations, thoughts, and knowledge of WWW from all walks of life. It could include success goals in many areas – personal life, spirituality, home and family, career, charity, etc.

    2. Or, a more laser-focused “annual: eBook titled,
      “2008, A New Year, A New…” – help here, ladies?

    With multiple contributors, a common theme has to be the glue that binds the flow of the narrative. ?
    Or not? Just thinking out loud, so to speak. Thx.

    Checking in to see how the book is coming along.

  4. Hi Janet,
    How about ‘How to Have Your Best Year Yet’. I love this title as it doesn’t even have to start at the beginning of the calender year, giving it extra longevity. I recently wrote an article with a similar title. You can read it here: http://www.marketyourmassage.com/articles/article/5341725/94829.htm Thanks so much for your inspiring site.
