Hi
I've just written my first eBook and I'm really trying to do as many "right things" as possible and would like the advice of anyone who's made a go at this.

The eBook is about starting and creating a profitable lawn care, landscape business. The 'hook' is that it becomes almost "hands off" after a few years, and I DO make almost double what other lawn care providers in my area make, without a doubt.

Where I need guidance is the marketing end, putting it all together. I have been studying and I created an obnoxious one page website. it's ************* - also I made different pages - one for JUST the ebook, one for the ebook plus bunch of downloads, and I'm also on Lulu.com where people can order hard copy. My next step MIGHT be iuniverse.com which if you buy their publoish on demand package, you get on amazon and barnes and noble. I've also been doing an adwords campaign, and I've sold ONE copy via that and ONE copy on ebay.

Pricing is a little daunting too. Tim Ferris from 4 hour work week says 50-200, Others I've seen are a bit lower, so I'm trying 27 for JUST the book, 47 for the ebook, downloads and half off later videos.

Any thoughts? I'm happy to pay someone to help me who's really been there, done that, made it work!

Also, how do some of you have links in your sigs? Whenever I try, on this forum, it gets replaced by *****************
See I'll try now. www.************* which was typed as www. lawn guru dot net.
