Why I Should Create My Own Resaleable Ebook

Ankur Bhardwaj asked:


If you have been selling resaleable ebooks on eBay for some time, then it is likely that you adopt a method similar to many ebook sellers. You source cheap or free ebooks with resell rights and then resell these in your eBay store. Now there is nothing wrong with this method. It means that obtaining the ebooks is cheap or even free, you don’t have to spend time creating a product and a lot of the time you even get a ready made sales page and download page. For next to no money, you have a digital product that can be sold again and again, for very little effort. I used to rely solely on this method when reselling ebooks on eBay and achieved reasonable success with it. I even wrote a newsletter article last year on sourcing free ebooks that can be resold on eBay. To this day I still resell other people’s ebooks in my eBay store. However, the difference is that I now also create and sell my own resaleable ebooks.

Now you may be thinking; ‘Why would you want to go to all the time and effort of creating your own resaleable ebooks, which are likely to depreciate in value very quickly? Surely it is much more time and cost effective to resell ebooks that are already available with resell rights?’  If these are your thoughts then you are thinking about resaleable ebooks in the wrong way. Let me put it into perspective and hopefully change your thinking on the issue with the example below.

Let’s say for this example you are selling your own ebook and someone else’s ebook, both for £1.99 in your eBay store. Now when you sell someone else’s ebook you make £1.99 which is all well and good. However, when you sell your own resaleable ebook you make £1.99 from the sale AND after the sale you have the potential for much more. What potential you may be asking? Well let me explain below just what your own resaleable ebook can do for you.

1) Promote: - Your own ebook can be a very valuable promotional tool for your eBay store, your website or whatever else you want to promote. If you want to promote your eBay store simply write a little note such as “brought to you by http://stores.ebay.co.uk/YOUREBAYSTORE.” Or you could even write a small paragraph about your eBay store, what it sells etc, and then provide a link to it if people want to find out more. If you have your own website, write an ebook that contains similar content and of course provide a link to your website somewhere within the ebook.

As you continue to sell your ebook with resell rights, some of your customers will also start to sell it and eventually their customers will sell it too. As time goes by your ebook will continue to be distributed, creating an increasing amount of traffic - your very own viral traffic tool. The more your ebook is distributed, the greater the potential for traffic to your eBay store/website.

2) Sell your Premium Product: - If you have a premium ebook then resaleable ebooks can be used to sell it. For example, if you have a cooking recipes ebook that you have wrote containing 1000 recipes this could be your premium ebook. You could then use 10 or 20 of these recipes to create a resaleable ebook. At the end of this resaleable ebook you could leave a note such as “Want to get 1000 recipes just like this? Then Click Here” The Click Here will link to your premium ebook. If people like the recipes in your premium ebook then they are likely to go on and purchase the full 1000 recipe premium ebook.

As before the same principles apply, and as time goes by your resaleable ebook gets seen by an increasing number of readers and should generate an increasing amount of sales. Obviously, the above recipe ebook is just an example. The principles above can be applied to almost any product/genre, allowing you to use your resaleable ebook to promote and sell a premium product.

3) Sell an Affiliate Product: - If you don’t have your own premium product then the same principles from above can be used to sell a product as an affiliate. An affiliate (if you do not know) is someone who sells a product in exchange for a commission on the sale. The one thing I would recommend if you are selling products as an affiliate is to make sure that you have sampled the product before you promote it.

If you are looking for a premium ebook to promote as an affiliate then Clickbank is a good place to start. It has ebooks on almost every topic you can imagine and the commissions are as generous as 75% in some cases. All you have to do is sign up and then generate affiliate links (through Clickbank) to promote each product. If buyers click and buy through your link, you will get a commission on the sale.

I hope this article has shown you the potential creating your own resaleable ebook provides. Whereas someone else’s resaleable ebook can bring sales revenue, your own resaleable ebook can bring these plus additional sales of your premium products, extra traffic, affiliate commissions and valuable leads. I am not suggesting that you cease to sell other people’s resaleable ebooks. In fact other people’s resaleable ebooks probably still comprise the majority of my eBay store inventory. However, even one or two of your own resaleable ebooks can make a huge difference.

Profit From Easy Internet Marketing Tips

People everywhere are working as hard as they can to make money. The real problem is that not a lot of people know about how to make money online. The sad this is, it’s really easy but people just aren’t willing to put in the time and effort necessary to reach their potential. You can make money; you just have to really want it enough to work for it. If you aren’t (although most are) afraid of work then there is a never ending supply of ways to earn cash.

When I was young I was always trying to think of both ways to earn cash in the real world and come up with online home business ideas. I remember selling pumpkins at Halloween. It never made me much (or really any) money but I still enjoyed counting my dollars. I also sold lemonade even though my road is in the country so there is like 1 car an hour and no one ever walks by.  When I really think of why I bother telling you that I guess the point is that work doesn’t come easily. It’s not a sprint, but a process you need to continue forever. If you are willing to do all the tuff you need to do then it isn’t that hard to be successful. With it being so easy (as long as you don’t mind doing some reading) I don’t know why more people don’t do it.

I guess if people want some advice I could give them some free home business tips. Hey there’s enough money to go around for all of us. So I guess the basic things that I would tell people is to read everything you can. There is a lot of information out there you just need to go looking for it. People need to remember though that when they do read to not just accecpt it all as true. That’s important because there are a lot of people who want to sell you their own junk and make a buck. When you read you should be searching for something that can match your lifestyle. Look for people who don’t just sound like they know what they are doing, but people who have actually put their ideas into practice and made money.

You can be sure of one thing, there is money to be mae on the internet. If you seek you shall find. Put in the work necessary and you can really supplement your income easily, or even make an income totally from home. I know it has been a big plus for me. If I can make money then so can you. I really am so glad that everything worked out for the very best resolution possible.

Ebay Ebook Success Tips: Get Free Ebooks to Resell on Ebay!

May 5th, 2009
resell ebooks
SUMIT JOHN asked:


The spiraling Ebay fees and competitive pricing, the last thing Ebay Ebook sellers want to worry about is buying new resell able content. However, there are many sources that you may not have thought about which provide you with free resell able EBooks that you can profitably add to your inventory. This article details just a few of them.

1) Ebay:- That’s right eBay is a great source to pick up free eBooks (OK they’re not quite free but very cheap). Many eBook sellers run auctions that start at 1p to attract customers. If nobody bids on these auctions you can pick up a very cheap resell able EBook.

Furthermore, several sellers run 1p EBook listings in their EBay store. That means that you can actually purchase the item as a Buy It Now for 1p and in some cases receive it instantly. Again another way to pick up a very cheap resells able EBook, courtesy of eBay. Do a search on eBay for “EBooks, resell” or something similar, and then list them lowest priced first to see what you find.

2) Newsletters: - When you signed up for this newsletter I gave you two free EBooks. Some newsletters that I am currently a member of give me 5 free eBooks every week. I would recommend joining EBook related newsletters as not only do you receive valuable tips from that EBook seller, you also get free products to add to your EBay store. Have a browse through Ebay for the top EBook sellers. If they have newsletters join it. It costs nothing and you are likely to benefit greatly.

3) Ebooks: - Usually when you buy a new eBook it contains links to many bonus eBooks with resell rights. Although you may have to pay for the first eBook, this is another way to get a plentiful collection of free resell able eBooks.

4) Online Forums: - Many users at online forums will give away free resell able eBooks or give away links that allow you to access free eBooks with resell rights. Just have a browse through the posts and see what you can find.

5) Ebook Websites: - Many websites that sell eBooks have a free download page. From this you can download free eBooks which quite often come with resell rights. Type “resell eBooks” into Google or any other major search engines, and have a browse through these websites. I am sure you will find more than enough eBooks to keep you going for a while.

Although free eBooks with resell rights are likely to be outdated in relation to the ones you pay for they are still a good way to bulk up your inventory at relatively little cost. The larger your store inventory is as an eBook seller, the more chance that you will get a sale. If you bulk up your inventory with free resell able eBooks which you then sell alongside the more expensive, up to date, resell able eBooks you are sure to enjoy increased success. Good Luck with your Ebook Sales!!!

My first E-book venture on-line

May 4th, 2009

Lumia Laser effects

I finally wrote my first E-book entitled ” RGB Laser Projector Design Guide ” and launched it on April 24/09. I also promoted my new E-book on a forum I belong to  called Photonlexicon. I also uploaded a video on Youtube  to show what a Laser projector can do using a Lumia wheel and it's been viewed 60 times in 6 days.

My hobby of laser entertainment started over 10 years ago. I was always interested in technology and lasers so learning was easy and .I learned a thing or two about lasers by owning and caring for everything from large, power hungry, water cooled, hernia generating,White light Ion gas lasers, to solid state, RGB portable DPSS lasers . I have designed and built many laser projectors in over 10 years, so have some measure of expertise and experience. I decided to compile information on how to design and build your own laser projector into a convenient digital format E-book.

It;s been a week since my new E-book was released and things are looking good. I checked Google for fun and did a search for ” RGB Laser Projector Design Guide ” and I found my link at the top of the first page ,#1 in organic rankings, Woohoo !….

In only a week I made it to the top of the SEO rankings of Google , made 4 sales and have had 50 people (from 12 countries) download my free Lumia wheel making instructions. The results are impressive enough to continue ,it took a lot of hard work, but it was a satisfying experience.

Now that my E-book is completed and launched, comes the learning curve of marketing the product to a larger audience using social media sites. The learning curve was steep but the results were worth it. I recommend to anyone who has an area of expertise and a passion for their hobby to write an E-book and monetize it. It’s a satisfying and rewarding process.

Advertising Business Internet Marketing Tips

May 1st, 2009
A geocoded location could be added to this ima...
Image via Wikipedia

Most of the principles recognizable in regular marketing treaties get to be applied in the development and the optimization of a business for the presence on the electronic market. Advertising makes one such element that influences the evolution of a business in a positive or negative direction. For an advertising business, Internet marketing consists of finding clients that need to become more than just visible online. Experienced agencies and companies now promote a variety of services meant to increase the traffic of the website and the amount of transactions performed by visitors. As it is normal, a larger number of strategies will focus on site promotion in the first place.

From the view point of an advertising business, Internet marketing will be approached and treated differently than it is by the regular business owner who mainly focus on pushing the product/service ahead. All the search engine optimization techniques, the creation of targeted ads, the selection of a pay-per-click engine to work with, the increase of the traffic rank by the creation of valuable friendly links or the regular updating of the site content make just a few of the common operations that have to be professionally performed and monitored in order for a business to be successful online.

The work tools that an advertising business Internet marketing company uses are also relevant for the quality of the results. What is the secret for the success of so many Internet marketing companies? Well, in fact they rely on the same marketing principles that they will eventually apply to your business for development. A first stage in the market approach is targeting and then they create an offer that is hard to refuse in the conditions of the tough online competition. They’ll advertise heavily insisting on how they help one build strategies after the close study of the other competitors, stressing out the modern approach to advertising and so on .

Warnings are anything but few in relation with some illegal activities and companies in the advertising business. Internet marketing is often used as a camouflage for illegal activities that could cost the naive small business owner dearly, should he/she be duped into signing some disadvantageous contract. Therefore, make sure to choose well and wisely from the many agencies that recommend themselves as the right solutions for business growth.

The Basics of Online Customer Referral Programs

April 29th, 2009

Referral programs are a very good way gain recognition for your brand and increase your sales conversion rates. A referral program works in the following manner – you reward the people who send you new customers. This, in turn, encourages them to refer you more business. It is as simple as that. What makes these programs the most successful? In a few words.

Humans, by nature, love to get rewarded for their actions. If there is an incentive, it motivates people to take immediate action. So, naturally, when they get rewarded for sending new business to you, they feel happy. This greatly increases your response rate.

The advantages of a customer referral program include:

1.It costs virtually nothing. When friends and clients bring you new business – all you need to do is reward them by giving service credits.

2.It will attract high lifetime value customers. Customers who are referred by your existing clients are more likely to do business with you, as they already know that you are trustworthy and dependable.

3.    It builds brand awareness. When a number of your customers talk very highly about your business, it has a very positive effect and your brand’s popularity increases exponentially.

4.This creates a great platform to launch any new products or services you may offer. This is without a doubt the largest advantage of a referral program.

5.It builds a stage to maintain the existing relationship you have with your clients and to build rapport with new cusomters.

To get great results, you should inform your existing clients about your referral programs. You can do this by making a phone call, text message or by sending an email to all your clients. You should continually build a mailing list and send a reminder to your inactive clients. This way, you keep reminding them that you appreciate what they do and would love to reward them for what they do as well.

You should understand an important thing about a customer referral program if you own a business. The incentive you give need not be too extravagant. Most of the time, service credits would be just fine. In fact, in some cases, a donation to a local charity in your customers’ name or even a box of chocolates will show your appreciation for your customers.

The only thing that matters is your intention. So, do not worry about spending too much money on a new incentive program. Set up a referral marketing program today and get the results you want.

Making Money In Niche Marketing

April 27th, 2009
End to a perfect day
Image by janusz l via Flickr

You shouldn’t go into the niche marketing business until you have a niche blueprint.

Having thorough research is the most effective way of finding a profitable niche. Go on discussion boards to check out what people are interested in. Discover what the most popular searches are on any given niche by using keyword research tools. Keep your ears open for new trends and movements.

You can tell if a niche is profitable in a number of ways. First of all, if the terms related to the niche seem to be searched regularly and that there aren’t too many people competing for them on Google, then there is a possibility that you’ve found a good niche. The niche may not be heavily marketed to simply because it is not marketable and you should look into this possibility. You will find some niches have heavy search volumes and a lot of competition. These are clearly profitable, but because of the amount of competition, you product or any niche marketing effort might fail if it’s not top notch and efficiently promoted.

Also, there are niches with little competition because they are obscure. However, it can be because there is really no market. Testing is the only fail proof means to confirm if you’ve discovered a viable niche.

What’s the proper [method]way to test my niche? Well, you can go on forums and ask questions about a potential product you might pitch or create. Some internet marketing forums will even allow you to poll people who read your thread so you can use them to gauge exactly how people are responding to your idea. If you were thinking about launching a product, do a pre-launch to see how people are responding. Low cost or even no cost marketing strategies can be executed to test the waters if you are thinking about marketing products through niche affiliate marketing programs.

What is the most effective way to make money with niche marketing? This is a difficult question because there really isn’t a “best” way to promote to a niche. Depending upon your niche, your budget, and your skill sets, blogging may be more profitable for certain people. Some might consider setting up a newsletter whereas others might consider creating a niche report or a full on e-book or video series for their niche. Making money using niche marketing is possible by using any one of a large variety of methods so to name one method as the best is extremely hard.

Niche marketing, when implemented right is surprisingly straightforward. Very quickly, you should be halfway through conquering the niche marketing field if you do market research, test your products effectively and use a variety of tactics to drive traffic to your niche businesses.

If you want to do well in niche marketing, you should take a look at Niche Blueprint Review to find out how you can generate a six figure income from scratch with easy-to-put-up niche ecommerce sites.

Why You Should Create Your Own Resalable Ebook?

April 25th, 2009
GOVIND SINGH asked:


If you have been selling resalable ebooks on eBay for some time, then it is likely that you adopt a method similar to many ebook sellers. You source cheap or free ebooks with resell rights and then resell these in your eBay store. Now there is nothing wrong with this method. It means that obtaining the ebooks is cheap or even free, you don’t have to spend time creating a product and a lot of the time you even get a ready made sales page and download page or visit www.ebook-marketing-exposed.com. For next to no money, you have a digital product that can be sold again and again, for very little effort. I used to rely solely on this method when reselling ebooks on eBay and achieved reasonable success with it. I even wrote a newsletter article last year on sourcing free ebooks that can be resold on eBay. To this day I still resell other people’s ebooks in my eBay store. However, the difference is that I now also create and sell my own resalable ebooks.

Now you may be thinking; ‘Why would you want to go to all the time and effort of creating your own resalable ebooks, which are likely to depreciate in value very quickly? Surely it is much more time and cost effective to resell ebooks that are already available with resell rights?’ If these are your thoughts then you are thinking about resalable ebooks in the wrong way. Let me put it into perspective and hopefully change your thinking on the issue with the example below.

Let’s say for this example you are selling your own ebook and someone else’s ebook, both for £1.99 in your eBay store. Now when you sell someone else’s ebook you make £1.99 which is all well and good. However, when you sell your own resalable ebook you make £1.99 from the sale AND after the sale you have the potential for much more. What potential you may be asking? Well let me explain below just what your own resalable ebook can do for you.

1) Promote:- Your own ebook can be a very valuable promotional tool for your eBay store, your website or whatever else you want to promote. If you want to promote your eBay store simply write a little note such as “brought to you by www.pdf-stampers.com” Or you could even write a small paragraph about your eBay store, what it sells etc, and then provide a link to it if people want to find out more. If you have your own website, write an ebook that contains similar content and of course provide a link to your website somewhere within the ebook.

As you continue to sell your ebook with resell rights, some of your customers will also start to sell it and eventually their customers will sell it too. As time goes by your ebook will continue to be distributed, creating an increasing amount of traffic - your very own viral traffic tool. The more your ebook is distributed, the greater the potential for traffic to your eBay store/website.

2) Sell your Premium Product:- If you have a premium ebook then resalable ebooks can be used to sell it. For example, if you have a cooking recipes ebook that you have wrote containing 1000 recipes this could be your premium ebook. You could then use 10 or 20 of these recipes to create a resalable ebook. At the end of this resalable ebook you could leave a note such as “Want to get 1000 recipes just like this? Then Click Here.” The Click Here will link to your premium ebook. If people like the recipes in your premium ebook then they are likely to go on and purchase the full 1000 recipe premium ebook.

As before the same principles apply, and as time goes by your resalable ebook gets seen by an increasing number of readers and should generate an increasing amount of sales. Obviously, the above recipe ebook is just an example. The principles above can be applied to almost any product/genre, allowing you to use your resalable ebook to promote and sell a premium product.

3) Sell an Affiliate Product:- If you don’t have your own premium product then the same principles from above can be used to sell a product as an affiliate. An affiliate (if you do not know) is someone who sells a product in exchange for a commission on the sale. The one thing I would recommend if you are selling products as an affiliate is to make sure that you have sampled the product before you promote it. Not only will it allow you to promote the product better (as you will actually know what you are talking about) but you will also be able to avoid products that are of a low quality.

If you are looking for a premium ebook to promote as an affiliate then ClickBank is a good place to start. It has ebooks on almost every topic you can imagine and the commissions are as generous as 75% in some cases. All you have to do is sign up and then generate affiliate links (through ClickBank) to promote each product. If buyers click and buy through your link, you will get a commission on the sale.

If you are looking for physical products to promote I would recommend Commission Junction. Again they have a very wide range of products and commissions vary from product to product. Like with ClickBank you can generate affiliate links via the Commission Junction website, and if a customer purchases through your affiliate link you get a commission on the sale.

4) Generate Leads:- If you don’t have your own mailing list yet and are serious about doing business online then I have one simple suggestion. GET A MAILING LIST. It is quite possibly the most valuable asset you can possess in Internet Business. To explain the very basics of list building, you first need to sign up for an autoresponder programme (I use and recommend Weber), build your list (using a variety of methods) and also maintain it (by providing value to your subscribers). Please bear in mind that this is a very, very basic analysis of list building and I would recommend you did some research on the topic before getting your own list. I will be covering list building in one of my future ‘Ebay Ebook Success’ articles but if you cannot wait till then I would recommend Jim Cockcrow’s How to turn Auction Traffic into Cash. This is the ebook that I used to research and build my mailing list with the help of eBay traffic. Anyway, I’m going off topic here.

Once you have a mailing list, a resalable ebook can be a valuable source of leads. All you have to do is place a link inside the ebook for customers to sign up for your mailing list. Like before as distribution of your ebook increases, the number of leads it generates should also increase.

I hope this article has shown you the potential creating your own resalable ebook provides. Whereas someone else’s resalable ebook can bring sales revenue, your own resalable ebook can bring these plus additional sales of your premium products, extra traffic, affiliate commissions and valuable leads. I am not suggesting that you cease to sell other people’s resalable ebooks. In fact other people’s resalable ebooks probably still comprise the majority of my eBay store inventory. However, even one or two of your own resalable ebooks can make a huge difference.

Want to Learn the Truth About Strategic Search Engine Marketing Services

In reality, strategic Search Engine Marketing entails a combination of quite a few methods to approach from. To invent a dynamic website commercial image and to safeguard the reputation of the product is the specific objective of strategic SEM . Strategic SEM combines both of these factors so that the product or service becomes highly visible on the Internet. A complete marketing study is required before a company can build a rational search engine marketing plan.

An investigation helps a corporation to see where it currently stands in a specific market and supplies a stable platform for executing any required modification. Included in any web-based market analysis ought to be any research capable of pinpointing your intended market via factors like the goals of your competitors as well as customer usage. Anytime a search engine marketing company makes a great break down it needs to address each of these topics – usefulness, brand integrity, budget investigation, and discernability.

Strategic SEM Chief Components

Visibility analysis aims at improving this key factor with the result of increasing qualified traffic on the site. Product credibility investigation is targeted toward looking for spiteful action from a rival which is capable of creating a threat to the product. The purpose of a task analysis is to calculate how simple or hard it is to click on and begin using a web page. An in depth look into your budget plan will calculate cost against income and searches for a chance to make the most benefits while at the same time finding ways to lower expenses. All these factors should be carefully considered when developing an online marketing strategy.

Web Page Analytics - Yet Another Major Thought

An additional key thing with all efficient professional search engine marketing plans is the idea called site analytics. Web analytics is a collection of vital information about the people who visit your website. Via this source a person can make out and find who all has been connecting to their page. An exceptionally vital element in web analytics is determining which keywords were used which search engine was used and the association with your search engine positioning.

Your Web Site Needs to Conform With the Search Engine

A search engine marketing company will fix your web page in a way that makes it friendly to search engines—this will be based upon the terms that search engines use for top ranking status. Google, for example, would like your web site to be genuine and matchless. In addition, your website should be compliant, accessible and able to pass the validation process. Likewise, the content of your website ought to be modernized and changed regularly and should be dependable.

And what does a search engine like Google dislike. ? Duplicated information is a major factor here. Your content shouldn’t contain words or phrases that are duplicated—neither within your website or anywhere also on the Net. Aggressive code and bad server set up is also a good reason for a major search engine such as Google to reject. Thus, if you are looking for search engine marketing services for your UK company, know that your agency of choice has a solid background regarding your type of business.

Article Feedback Extends the life of Your Articles

April 22nd, 2009

Calling all publishers, editors, writers and freelance journalists. Now is the time to breathe more life into your articles. Turn your articles into living pieces that spark measurable debate, get closer to your readers and engage their mind and soul - we’re talking revolution.

As it was in the beginning

Publishers have for many years relied on letters to get feedback from their readers and although email has opened up this method of communication it is still time consuming and difficult to monitor and process, and for the more popular articles, it is either a case of only a fraction of the received correspondence ever being used, or where online comments have been allowed, well written and good comments can be buried under poorly written and abusive comments.

As well as being an overhead for the publisher, it can also be an unrewarding medium in terms of the amount of effort required and response that is received, just consider the number of letters that go unread and unpublished.

As it is now

The Internet has brought new channels of communication and created opportunities that allow us to challenge traditional methods. The Internet is now a mature technology, no longer the preserve of technical geeks but a technology that has been embraced by a global population, young and old allowing us now to re-evaluate the way things are done. Newspapers, trade journals, periodicals and ezines now have the opportunity to change the mental process.

When people read an article that provokes thought they now expect the opportunity to comment either by writing a comment, sending an email or writing a letter. Sure emails are easier but it still takes time to craft an email and time for the majority, is what they haven’t got.

Although interesting a letters page or a list of comments are at best a sample of views or an endless unmanaged list of comments; a letter may be well crafted and well written letter but due to the free text form it is difficult, or near impossible, to measure.

As it should be

Now consider the advantages of linking articles to online surveys where as a publisher you will have the ability to obtain valuable readership feedback in a form that can be easily measured. Communicating with your readers is one thing but having a channel that allows your readers to effectively communicate with you is just as important.

Want a snapshot of opinion? Did they like that article? Did the sentiments expressed in the article have the support of the audience or do the readers have a different view?

Now it’s easy

In the past it would have taken considerable effort to design, publish and collate, a process that was too long winded and justifiable only for the niche and important topics.

However, using sites like www.surveygalaxy.com surveys and questionnaires can be created and published via the Internet by anyone who has a pulse. Professional looking questionnaires and surveys created in minutes make the perfect compliment to articles that prompt opinion and debate.

The advantage over letters, e-mails and comments are that all the feedback is managed and measured and sites like Survey Galaxy will provide you with a real time poll that you can either keep to yourself or share with your readers.

It can even be complimentary to sending an email

Link each article to an online survey and not only extend the life of the article as people have a channel to express their views, but involve your readers in the discussion where they now know their opinion will be counted.

If you think they would rather send an email? - not a problem - just include the facility within the survey and get the best of both worlds.

It’s fast, low cost, and easy to do; it will engage and empower the reader, provide excellent feedback and having established a dialogue you then have the opportunity to link to other related articles.

There is an opportunity to register your view of this article here:- Readership Feedback Survey
