Topics

The title of the book is law of Attraction in Action. Your article does not need to be on The Law of Attraction. Your article must give guides to taking ACTION. Part of the guidelines asks for 3 action points readers can take based on your article.

What if I have never written before?

That’s ok. Do the best you can and our volunteer editors will give you feedback if your work needs improving. Last year, many people wrote their first article / chapter ever and the quality was excellent. They had doubts before they started too.

Once I am a contributor does my name end up on the front page of Wonderful Web Women or is this another process?

No. Only our guest speakers are listed on the home page of Wonderful Web Women. You will be listed on the speaker feature page of Wonderful Law of Attraction.

Can you put YouTube links into book?

Sure. A suggestion is to take a screen grab of the video and then put this image in the book. We can then put the link to the video below the image.

What format do you need the chapter submission ?

We have provided a word template for you to use. Please use that as it will make it so much easier for us to put the final document together. Here is the link to download it.

What types of businesses would this be viable for

The topic has been chosen because you can twist it around to suit any business niche. You can talk about how to attract security when you are driving by including actions you can take to maintain your car. As long as the emphasis is on action and being the best you can be.

Contributing to the book will give me credibility but how else can it grow my business?

You will can put a link to your web site at the end of your article so readers will visit your web site
You can make a special offer to readers of your chapter that will entice them to come to your website and join your mailing list. A perfect enticement it a free ebook, audio or autoresponder course. Something they need to sign up to get. Then you can build on the relationship through your newsletter. Some people even offer discounts on services or free sessions if you don’t have a product.

Do I need to have a gift to giveaway to contribute?

No you don’t but I encourage you to as it will help you make the most of this opportunity

I don’t have time to write my chapter and set everything up for a free gift for readers. What can I do?

We’ve thought of a way to make this easier for you. If you have a description of your gift, great. Mention it at the end of your chapter. We have made it that all gifts will be listed on one page of a new website we will create especially for this book. It will be something like www.wonderfullawofattraction.com/gifts . We can add your gifts in January (or even later if you need to) so this takes the pressure off you.

Will the names/emails that are collected from those who want to download the ebook, and the names collected from the gift downloads be shared with the all of contributors? Will WWW have the entire list, and will this be shared?

There are 3 sets of people who can benefit from the distribution of this book throughout the Internet. Below is the way each party has the opportunity to grow their mailing list.

All free and gold members of Wonderful Web Women: Everyone has the right to give the book away. You can give it as a gift to your existing customers or give it away on your web site in return for an email. They join through your email program. The page they are sent to after they join your list is on our special book site. They do not need to join our mailing list to download the book. This makes it easy for you because you don’t need to worry about how much hosting space is taken up when people download the book.
Contributors: You can benefit as above but also you benefit when a complete stranger reads the book and decides to join your mailing list to take you up on your offer.
Wonderful Web Women: The only time we get people on our list is if the reader wants to check out all the special offers each contributor has made. To access the gift page they need to join our mailing list.

is there an opportunity to also be an affiliate on this? Meaning promote and get a share of the revenues?

Yes. You can make money as an affiliate in 2 ways:

This is a good time to promote Wonderful Web Women to your friends and customers using your Wonderful Web Women affiliate link. You can promote the opportunity to be a contributing author. You can join as an affiliate by logging into wwwomen, clicking on the affiliate link at the top and signing up. You will get your affiliate link. Our team has also created some sample emails you can use to promote this project. Simply look under the endorsement emails section in the affiliate tools area.
When the book is launched it is given away for free. We will show you how to use the wwwomen affiliate link when you direct new subscribers to the download page for the book. If readers are so impressed with the quality of our contributing members they decide to join Wonderful Web Women – you get credited.

That’s it for the moment. Over the next month I’ll be sharing ideas on how to promote the book to build your business.

Cheers

Janet
