Twitter Summer Fun (And Learn how to blog for an income)

I launched The Beginner's Guide to Blogging in September of last year, and since then 376 people have bought the product. Not a huge number, but a solid enough result.

It's available as a full 250 page E Book (the most popular choice by far) or as a series of 60 lessons delivered to your inbox via email at the rate of one per day.

It's exactly what the title suggests - a step by step guide to setting up a blog with the aim of earning an income from it. It covers:

Choosing a niche, domain name and hosting
Writing pillar content
Promoting your blog both on and off line
Getting into video
Using other social media tools like Twitter
Planning and objectives
Creating your first product
Building an email subscriber list
And lots more..

I'm very proud of it, and created it based on my own learning over the preceding year. I honestly believe it's a winner for anyone starting a blog, or who is struggling with aspects of making an income from blogging.

The launch was anything but spectacular, and I've learned a great deal about launches since then! But sales slowly picked up, and it has ticked along nicely ever since, with the odd peak when I, or someone else, has promoted it. Recently though, sales have slowed, and I've decided I want to create some buzz and give it a little push.

I had decided that I was going to have a kind of "Summer sale" on it - something that seems quite popular at the moment, but that all seemed a bit passive and boring to me.

What I've decided to do is to create a big Twitter buzz around it, and see if we can keep that going for a few days. In return for helping me do that, I'm offering the book at a very special price.

Here's the plan:

1/ I'm going to reduce the price from $47 to just $5, and yes, you did read that right!

2/ As long as ten or more people a day buy The Beginner's Guide to Blogging, the price will remain at $5.

3/ The first day after we fail to make ten sales, the price will revert back to the normal $47.

Here's what you need to do to create some buzz and qualify to buy your copy at just $5:

1/ Tweet a link back to this post using the hashtag #BGB

2/ Go here: http://camelmediagroup.com/bgb.html and click on the first "Add to cart" button (for the full book) and input the coupon code SUMMERSPECIAL and the price will reduce to just $5. Complete the payment process and download your book.

That's it! A 250 page E Book for just $5

NOTE: This offer is now closed. It lasted until 29th July, so nice going everyone! You can try the SUMMERSPECIAL code if you happen upon this page, and you may find a nice surprise, but for most folks the price reverts back to the full $47. Thanks for joining in the fun!
