My eBook has been downloaded 101 times. So why the “Kind of” in the title. Well, 6 people unsubscribed after downloading. My actual email list is at 95. I reached this milestone in just over one month thanks in most part to Google Adwords. I received a $100 credit for opening a new account through my hosting company, Powweb.
I opened my Aweber account on March 8th. I launched my Ad on March 29th. In these 21 days, I had 8 subscribers. I launched my ad on Google Adwords on March 29th. In the last 21 days, I’ve gotten 93 subscribers. In the last 2 weeks, I’ve had 342 visits (per Google Analytics). Of this total, 266 were from my Google Ad. Unfortunately, I have exhausted my $100 credit. Right now, I’m learning toward investing $20 – $50 to keep up the traffic and increase the size of my list.
My current focus is now shifting toward creating my eBook for sale. Some things I need to determine:
- Price of eBook (right now $19)
- Process to sell book (leaning toward e-junkie)
- Crafting broadcast email to sell to my list
- Adding content to site to build trust with list
My six month plan is to finish eBook and hopefully make some sales to cover the costs of Aweber, e-junkie, Adwords, and e-junkie. I may put the Adwords on hold for a while to try to bring in some revenue. However, I don’t to stop this momentum.
