Thanks for this free e-book, hope i could come close to duplicating how you did it. More power :smile:

Advice for bloggers was OK, but I particularly liked the "history" part.

Sounds great John. I'll download it now. Have you ever had any luck recruiting google adsense affiliates? I have tried it in the past, and plenty signed up, but as yet, none of them have made the minimum amount - think it's $100 for me to get paid.

Hey, thats really a cool idea...

Ok. I think I've had enough fun around here.

I am going to retire from commenting on this blog.

I've just been invited to do another joint venture, so would not have the time I think.

And John, thanks for the review, good or bad.

I was putting up a fight to understand certain things about Net Psychology. I've learnt what I needed to know, now I am moving on.

As for the legal action to be taken, I have to let my lawyer decide. If he thinks we have a case, I am sorry, but we have to go ahead with it. If not, then, consider it forgive, and forget.

So for those offended by my "flaming" it was with a purpose to learn about the psyche of individuals when they communicate online with others. I've done enough damage, so I am moving on now.

Thanks for everything. I wish you all the best in your endeavour to make an income online so that you can have a great life with your loved ones.

John, send my regards to Sarah. She's lucky to have you.

Cheers. for the last time,
Michael Nivola

The next time you hear about me, I hope it would be in the good light. And John, you really have wronged me, but I'll let it pass personally. You've abused the trust Zummie placed on you when he ordered the review, but he has begged me to end this "war" with you. And I think I'll respect that.

Take care, may you make the money you have to make to get the life you've always dreamt of.
SevenDaySystem.com will always be around, I will get my guys to make changes as recommended by your readers. Appreciate all the input.

Thanks for the update, I'll go download it now.

I've seen mention somewhere of a word press plug in or a service that allows people to receive blog posts in the forum of a PDF "e-book" but for the life of me I can not find it. If you know the one John perhaps you could blog about it?

It's good that you edited the ebook, John. Will download the latest copy now. :wink:

Hi John,

I've just written a post promoting your ebook. I just like the idea of imparting knowledge for free. Too bad if anyone else thinks it's not good enough.

John has done it again! Another brilliant idea! :cool:

I have been thinking about adding a free e-book to my site as a way to increase traffic. Great article. I will be downloading your e-book.

I saw recently those $7 onlibne business systems - I never bought into them but I'm guessing it's something like this. I hate scrolling through sales letters - so fake! But obviously there are many people who still go for that!

I released a free ebook about a month ago, and while I don't have a fraction of the readership you do, the ebook has definitely increased my traffic. Plus, a book gives any blogger some authority and credibility. My book is about 5 practical ways to read literature, and as a teacher it makes a huge difference that on my "about me" page I can say "Author of ROMAN Reading: 5 Practical Skills for Transforming Your Life Through Literature."

Hey, John, I think you could make the ebook more viral if you 'allow' the downloaders/distributors to 'rebrand' (parts) of the ebook with their affiliate links. (And yes, converting your old blog posts with great content into an ebook is a must that all bloggers should start thinking ahead:).

Just my to-be-charitable cents =P.

BTW--one more thing, you may want to convert the PDF file into a zip file, because it's VERY annoying to open a PDF file and save it as a pdf file ;). Good luck on this venture.

(I'll be launching a new site soon: now it's my goal to beat JC and not the Beaver anymore :).

Great Evil Plan. John Chow is actually Evil Chow

John, you forgot to mention in your e-book that alonk with 11k+ $'s you made, another Important thing is communty participation you get. Not many blogs can get 50+ comments, and you get 200's :!:

Its soooooo :twisted:

Thanks John...It's great e-book. I was sure to put in a good word for you on my site.

What I like most about your ideas, John, is that you put them into practice rather than just writing about them.

This particular idea I like most (and yes I already downloaded it) is the fact you resited the urge to use a "squeeze page". I am so, so, so sick of this archaic model of Internet Marketing. I often pass on many tempting freebies just becuase I have to yet, again, enter my email and then consign the mailings that will result into my "spam" folder. I just cleaned up email for my end of month housecleaning ... a certain fellow, "BC", had over _300_ emails in my "I don't want" folder ... more than 10 per day, since it is still the 29th back there in North America. It is a marketing model which has outlived its usefulness.

When you package and give out useful information _without_ demanding something in return your stature and your "stickyness" with readers rises ... lesson number one for the rest of the "make money on line" guys reading this, before you even download the book.

@==>> those who urge making this into a "real book" ... my view is, bad idea. It is hard work, takes a long time to get into print (thus will forever be outdated) and "paper publishers", IMO rob authors.

I have a long-time online acquaintance, Robert Bruce Thompson, who is a "writer of computer books". He is also a long-time blogger since long before the days we called these things blogs. If Bob would only realize the money he could make doing his "real" books online rather than working like a wage slave for a company who takes most of the profits .... well, anyway, that's why most of us are here.

So far so good. I did not finished it yet. Try 1% and you still make money and still get more traffic.

I like the plugins part.

Do most of the affiliates leaves a cookie? In case people do click on a aff-link for the info but becomes a client a week or so later.

Packaging the articles as an ebook makes them easier to refer to. Bloggers who already know the content will use it as a quick reference.

And I'm sure this won't be the last ebook. This post and the last one would make a new chapter already: how to make money online from an ebook. :smile:

I've done both free and paid ebooks with affiliate links inside. I'll be interested to hear your results with the freebie one.

Many times people don't value the free ebooks and even if they download them they let them sit on their desktop.

My original viral ebooks "Autoresponder Magic" and "Million Dollar Emails" have been downloaded or given away hundreds of thousands of times. This was back in 2001 and I didn't do a good job of "cloaking" the links to affiliate programs so I don't know how it would have worked if I had. My affiliate income from those ebooks was small compared to the ebooks that were $29 or $39 and the affiliate links were much more integrated into the ebook. i.e. Step 1 go here or "Recommend resource for this chapter"

Always enjoy a fellow Internet entrepreneur's blog. Take care!

John,
could you write a series on how to write an e-book?

this is awesome. I plan to do this too with my Hustlermoneyblog series :mrgreen:

Try Lulu.com for your book! You could just reformat it and sell it there!

Kenneth

I would may paid you $97

Jeje

Thanks so much for this ebook! It has some great advice. I'm sure lots of people will find it a useful resource. Good luck with making some money from it :smile:

Should have sold it!

You are a genious on Make money online xD

John,

Your blog was one of very few that really inspired me to start some serious blog monetization. I read you religiously and it's great to have all of your monetization stuff in one cohesive hard-copy. You truly are evil! I'm sure there are plenty of people who would buy something bloggish written by you in a bookstore as well.
