Q. The big question asked me in teleclasses or client sessions is "How should I price my eBook?A. The big answer is "it depends."Here's Seven Tips to Help:1. Determine your audience's need and demand for your book. If your book solves a particular problem for a preferred audience, it will sell well at any price. When you know your 30-60 second "Tell and Sell," you'll be more likely to know a proper price. (That's the 2-sentence sound bite with book's benefits) Let's say you have a book "Stop Divorce Now." Your tell and sell includes "Helps the nearly divorced audience, both men and women." That audience gives your book a slant, and makes it more valuable. In the "Tell and Sell" you must also include the benefits your book brings its audience. The top benefit of this book is that it stops divorce now.No matter the number of pages, anywhere from 15-99, this kind of book will bring a healthy price. Maybe $39.95, maybe more. When you change the eBook to an eCourse, you can charge a lot more. $99. $159. $279. $399 and even more..2. Sell to your audience who wants your solution to help him make more money in an easy, short information product. This audience will pay more than a general...more

Should you use an LLC for your real estate investing?Accountants and attorneys love limited liability companies. But do limited liability companiesLLCs for shortreally make sense for real estate investors. Probably they do for two almost unknown reasons.The Big Legal Benefit of an LLC: Limited Liability The big legal benefit of an LLC is that limited liability companies provide all the same liability protection as a corporationbut with much less red tape. A regular corporation, for example, requires regular stockholders meetings, a board of directors, regular board meetings, and of course records of all these activities and bodies. But a limited liability company doesn't.This legal liability protection provided by an LLC can be extremely valuable. One local attorney I often collaborate with, for example, tells his clients that an LLC protects real estate investors from the worst case scenariowhich in his mind is a "slip and fall" accident on the investor's property.With an LLC as the property owner, so says my attorney friend, the "worst case scenario" is liquidation of the LLC. That liquidation means the people who own the LLC wind up with nothingwhich isn't good. But...more
