How to lose weight with Paleo diet recipe book

The paleo diet is not strictly a detox diet, an alkaline diet or the dukan diet but does share many similarities. This collection of recipe books gives you everything you could wish for to follow the paleo lifestyle. You will find out how to lose weight and stay healthy at the same time.
The paleo hack recipe book offer also includes many add ons to make the whole process very simple. It is often a lack of time that makes us cautious of adopting this lifestyle because it requires us to cook real food, so these recipes take the fear of that away as they are very simple to use and meals can be made quickly and with delicious results.
The resaon I like aspects of the paleo diet is because it focuses on avoiding processed foods, and getting back to basics. It is promoting a lifestyle, not just a diet and that is the key to maintaining weight loss.

Most people make the very same mistake when they publish books on kindle.

 

Kindle Mistakes to avoid

1. Find a coach. If you are questioning  your abilities then get a coach and work on your “issues” for a few sessions. Remember, many people who publish books on Kindle rarely write their own books, they outsource.
2. Crowdsource your editing (ie friends and family) and then get a copyeditor or a proofreader to review it. A good idea is to use a content editor to ensure your text flows smoothly. Always, always get a second set of eyes to go over your work.  If you need help with an editor check out Fiverr.com
3. Kindle Formatting is usually a complete pain in the ass. You can use Kinstant Formatter, and get awesome results with it and it’s very cheap. You can also use Product Creator Pro to create an Epub file and a cover image.
4. Books are judged by their cover. For a cover design, deifnitely go to Fiverr.com it will save you a ton of money. Don't even think about using a free Amazon tool. Your cover will help sell your book. Invest $5
5. Hyperlink your table of contents. If you need help with Microsoft Word, MyOlli is an online learning portal where you can learn how to use all the Microsoft products. A small investment here will save you hours of hassle and negative reviews.
6. No explanation needed :)
7. You can use the Kindle Previewer app which shows you how your book is formatted. Always use it. Better to invest time now than get a load of negative reviews later.
8. Build hype – offer free chapters, cover reveals and even character bios. Share on your blog, on social media and start to generate interest in what you are doing. If it’s your first book, you might feel uncomfortable doing this, but it will get easier with practice. Of course you can book in a content marketing strategy session with me and we can plan this out together. If you are not sure how to do this you can outsource the task to someone of Fiverr or to a VA
9. Get a marketing plan for your book!  Don't think it will sell on it's own.

The Benefits of Video in Your Marketing Strategy

Learn benefits of using video for your overall marketing strategy. This article will give you idea why you should start using video marketing. 

Videos are steadily increasing their value and importance in relation to Internet or online marketing. Internet marketers these days include YouTube marketing and overall video marketing strategies into their marketing strategies to promote a website or particular campaign. 

In case you still haven’t included the use of videos and video SEO in your marketing strategies, reading this post will be useful to you. Here are 5 benefits of video in your marketing strategy.

1. It provides an additional opportunity to convey your message – videos are standalone but it will be a lot more successful to incorporate it with your other marketing materials. For example, you can combine video along with your articles. It will serve as an additional medium to help you convey your message to your audience. 
2. It is fun and entertaining – people tend to pay more attention to videos rather than reading long articles. You can make any topics fun and entertaining with the use of short clips.
3. It attracts more visitors – another benefit of video in your marketing strategy is that you can use third-party sites to promote your campaign and then just link it to your money website, which can in fact drive more traffic to your site.
4. It will help you gain the trust of your audience – create a video of yourself talking directly to your target consumers and for sure it will help gain their trust. They like to feel like they belong and that you acknowledge them. And making this kind of video will show that you are sincere and that your website is managed by a real person that they can trust.
5. It can help you get a better position in the search engines – last but certainly not the least, video will help your site to position better. Search engines give larger importance to videos rather than static images so the possibility of ranking higher is good. You may as well learn some good practices on how to rank videos.

According to studies, you have 10 seconds to capture the attention of your audience and by using videos you will have greater chance of impressing them. Make sure to include different types of videos in your overall marketing strategies. It will bring stronger impact for your campaign.

The Video Ranking Team are a group of very talented marketers who understand the power of video and more importantly the power of video SEO in the context of today's search engine algorithms. For more information visit www.VideoRankingTeam.com
