Can I Find Your Books in Stores?
Many people write to me, asking where they can find my books in their local bookstore. I have to tell them that my books are ONLY available online for one very simple reason...
Could you imagine staggering out of a bookstore with ten books strapped into a single pack?
Probably not!
When you buy a book in a bookstore, that book is all you get. You don't get bonus books. You don't get audio interviews. You don't get email consultations. You just get a single, hardcopy book to take home and read at your leisure.
With each and every one of my online course, customers get a range of bonuses that may include special reports, mini e-books, interviews, and audio programs. I like delivering more than customers expect. And I know that the more information I can cover in my courses, the greater the chance that my customers will find exactly the information, insight, or exercise they need.
Physical Books versus E-Books
Now, some people prefer having a physical book that they can read sitting on the couch, rather than having to sit at the computer and read off their screen. I don't blame them! I'm exactly the same. I sit at the computer all day, so in my free time I'd much rather take a good book out to the back yard and get some fresh air.
That's why it's important to remember that you can always print out my e-books to create your very own hard copy. You don't have to read it online if you don't want to.
What If You've Never Downloaded an E-Book Before?
If you've never downloaded an e-book before, here's what you need to know.
To read an e-book, you need to have a PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. This program comes pre-installed on most computers, but if you don't have it you can download the software for free.
Once you've installed the program, all you should have to do is double-click on the e-book file, and Adobe Acrobat Reader will open it for you. (You will learn how to download the e-book file in the Members Area.)
Consumer Confidence
If you're worried about the security of purchasing online, I can assure you that you have the same consumer guarantees purchasing online as in a bookstore - sometimes more!
All my books are sold via Clickbank, which is similar to PayPal. Clickbank processes over 25,000 online transactions every day. It's fully guaranteed, and you will never have to worry about your payment details getting lost or stolen.
My publisher also offers a moneyback guarantee in case you aren't satisfied with your purchase. We know that you can't browse through an e-book the same way you'd browse through a physical book, so you'll be fully covered in the event that you decide one of my courses isn't for you.
Just think ... what bookstore would allow you to bring back a book after reading it, just because you "didn't like it"? Yet you get that option if you decide to buy online!
Enter the World of E-Books
I like to think that once you purchase an e-book online, you'll never go back. You may not be able to put an e-book on your bookshelf, but at least you don't have to lug boxes of e-books with you every time you move!
For now, I'm quite happy being known as an online author. It's a digital world these days, and it's great to be part of it!
