Updates on Various Promotion Efforts
Blog Post Summary - Status on a few things that I have started and reported on already. It’s short ….
Update to email campaign effort - This took a lot of time to get together and whereas it did produce some sales (20 books) and another 40+ signups to my newsletter, the results were not consistent with the level of effort. I did however learn a lot as I had to figure out how get a video on the offer page, do some copywriting and a few other things. These will all come in handy later so it forced me to learn some new skills.
Tip on Press Releases - As reported in the last blog, I uploaded press/news releases to a number of sites. I was rejected from 3 sites. One was because my entry was not ecommerce related. OK … fine. The other two were because I have too many line breaks. DO NOT put any line breaks in anywhere besides the end of the paragraph. Specifically:

Just thought I would let you in on that one as I had to do them over to get accepted. There are, by the way, plenty of reasons they may reject you. Dont take it personally, just figure out what you did wrong and fix it.
Think like an entrepreneur - failure is not the opposite of success, it is a part of success.
