Ebook Software

eBook Software is an excellent marketing tool for your ebook.

When distributing your ebook you can attract a much wider audience by motivating your readers and affiliates to help you market your ebook.

How?

Simple. By allowing your readers and/or affilates to add their name, URL or whatever you decide will customize the ebook so it looks like this was made specially for them. They can also receive a link back to their website if you decide to add this to your ebook.

The way this works is that you first need to create an ebook with eBook Compiler and in the branding step you simply include the customized tags that you want. For example, you may want to allow your readers/affilates have a section at the top of the ebook that reads ‘This ebook is compliments of:’ and after that you would enter ‘myname’ and mywebsite’ tags. These customized tags can be replaced with the readers name and URL. This is cool for your affiliates to add their affiliate URL.

Next, you distribute your ebook with the brander set up for this ebook. It is easy because your reader opens up the brander adds the custom tags and saves the branded ebook with their info and starts to distribute it to other people.

It gets better when you use this exclusive feature. You will really like the fact that you get 2 free branders a full brander and a light brander. The light brander limits what your readers can add and you decide what this will be. In other words, if you set it up that they can only add a name and website you have complete control. Once you set this is you can have many readers and it is complete. Want to protect the branders you can password protect them.

We included videos to help you learn quickly. Now you can learn how to use the ebook software in 10 minutes just by watching the step by step help videos.

It is easy to try out because you can download the ebook and brander for free. By the way, the free ebook is a great example of a interactive multi-media ebook that includes sound and video. When you try this out you just might be impressed.

First, you can read my first rant about Article Marketing Automation .

Have you ever had something happening to you that seems like it’s being done on purpose? Well that’s how I have been feeling about Article Marketing Automation since I started, out of frustration and no answers from support, leaving negative feedback on the articles that spam non relevant links and articles lately.

It took more than a month to get a response to my support ticket and then they just apologized for not responding sooner but didn’t actually address the support ticket. NOT very helpful at all.

This article was really long and became another rant about Article Marketing Automation but I already have one of those so I started over and made it much shorter and to the point.

I use AMA because they provided good content for my many niches. I said provided, past tense. Now I seem to get at least 90% of the articles for my niches that I have to reject for one reason or another.

Today 7 of my seventeen blogs had to go without articles from AMA because they were spam or had completely non relevant links.

Here is a list of the blogs that didn’t get articles today. I think they are average niches but it seems like they are just being spammed by insurance, real estate, printer cartridges, pharmacy. These people should be banned.

Then of course there are the spam articles that just don’t match my niche at all. These people should be warned once and then banned if they keep pissing people off.

And finally there are the articles that link to the same article 3 times instead of linking to helpful content. They don’t even bother to re-write the content on these pages. (These type of writers are a pain in the butt because they don’t think at all but at least they stick to the topic don’t they.)

I had to reject 100% of the articles in the follow categories because of spam, dozens of articles.

Blog #1 – affiliate marketing blog

Blog #2 – garden recipe blog

Blog #3 – gardening blog

Blog #4 – make money online blog

Blog #5 – vegetable gardening

Blog #6 – web marketing

Blog #7 – monetize your blog

I could see a few issues if my niches were out there but they aren’t they are very common niches and there is no reason to have to be spammed by non relevant content and links for these niches.

A French court has found internet search giant Google guilty of copyright infringement. La Martiniere, a French publisher, was awarded 300,000 Euros ($ 430,000) in damages and interest. Google was also ordered to pay the sum of 10,000 Euros ($ 14,000) each day until it withdraws the book extracts from its database. The court hearing was initiated by the French Publishers’ Association, La Martiniere and SGDL – an author’s group – who demanded that Google be forced to pay 15m Euros ($ 21m).

For Google, the size of the final settlement is trivial – but there may yet be some impact on Google’s plans to scan and make available online as many of the world’s books as possible. Google is currently in the process of scanning and digitising pretty much any book it can get its hands on. Books which are out of copyright are made available in their entirety. Books which are still in copyright either have snippets of them made available online or have the whole book electronically published under a licensing scheme.

It’s not the first time Google has found itself in court as a result of their ambitious plan to become the world’s digital librarian. A class action was filed against Google Books by the Authors Guild, the Association of American Publishers and a number of individual authors and publishers in 2001. Google had, they alleged, breached copyright laws by scanning books from university libraries without getting permission from the copyright owners in some cases.

At the time, Google claimed that it was operating under the “fair use” principle as only short snippets of books scanned without the permission of copyright holders were made available.

In October of 2008 an agreement was reached with Google establishing a $ 125 million fund to compensate authors whose books were made available online. However, the deal was applicable in North America only and raised problems with books which, whilst perhaps out of copyright in the USA, were still under copyright law in other parts of the world. Over and above opposition from Europe, including the governments of both France and Germany, Google now faces competition from Yahoo, Microsoft and Amazon who are supporting the “Open Book Alliance” being driven by the Internet Archive. The Internet Archive is a non-profit organisation which scans and digitises books. To date, they have scanned over half a million books, all of which are available free. Brewster Kahle, the founder of the Internet Archive, feels that Google is attempting to monopolise the library system.

Google has argued that their system will make millions of out of print books, which would otherwise be inaccessible to most readers, available. Users of the Amazon Kindle can also access free Kindle ebooks via Amazon’s Kindle store and there are a number of other projects which make certain books available at no charge online. It does seem probable that our reading habits are about to undergo major change and the method of both book storage and delivery will be updated to take advantage of the internet and electronic formatting. However, prior to that happening it may be a requirement to ensure that the legal framework is in place and that authors and other copyright holders are not disadvantaged.
