Bargain-Price Business Book Blitz

Jacqui has been busy updating the Cinnamon Edge website to list all the books we've published in the last few weeks. That includes all our business books, on Kindle and Bookboon, and two volumes of my poetry - plus our first by Alain Godard, about how to use online dating.

Our Kindle books have multiple 5-star reviews and Bookboon were very pleased with the two they commissioned from us. We've had very good sales on Amazon.com and in the UK and we've even sold a few in Germany and France.

All the books are available via the special page on our site, at http://www.cinnamonedge.co.uk/publications and you'll be able to read the reviews when you view the Amazon listings.

If nothing else you should download the two free Bookboon books!

A Rhyme in Time for Valentines

Charming Love Poems

This 5-star review appears on Amazon.co.uk:

"What charming poems this volume holds. Full of love and human wisdom, the poems speak to the better part of who we are. There are pure love poems as well as ones that are less intense, more quisical. Touching and endearing, these poems will warm your heart and delight your senses."

As well as all the business books we've published recently, a collection of my poems is also on Amazon for instant download - meaning you can have them on your Kindle or your laptop or tablet in just a couple of minutes.

Just in time for Valentine's Day.

Saturday - A Good Day for Business

Local businesses will get a timely boost on Saturday when we give away seven of the eight books we've published this year! The other one will cost you less than a pound - but only for one day, Saturday 11 Feb. Here's our news release explaining everything:


Although our part of the country has fared better than most regions during the recession, there are still a lot of anxious business owners who will be grateful for some free help to alleviate their business worries.
That’s why local marketing firm Cinnamon Edge has pulled out all the stops and published not one, but eight business books online in the last few weeks – and why they’re making most of them available for free this Saturday.
The books cover business topics ranging from basic search engine optimisation for your website, to email marketing, how to start a small practice from scratch and even how to run workshops and seminars. All the books have been written by Cinnamon Edge partners Jacqui Carrel and Roy Everitt.
“The books are available from our website now,” says Roy, “and they’re not expensive anyway, but we decided we can reach more people by making them free for a day.”
Only the seminar and workshops one won’t be free – but it will cost less than a pound!
Six of the books are available via Amazon for Kindle (and you don’t even need a Kindle to read them, just a free app that you download easily for your computer or tablet). The other two books are PDFs published by Bookboon, who specialise in free ebooks for businesses and professionals. These can be read on any computer.
You can find links and descriptions for all the books on a special page on Cinnamon Edge’s website, at http://www.CinnamonEdge.co.uk/publications
Remember, they’ll only be free for a day!
Roy adds, “I hope people will take full advantage of the chance to download our books while they can.”
With experts telling us the economy is likely to be sluggish for some time, anything that can help a business do better while saving them money has to be a good idea.
 We're hoping the local press will pick up on our offer and spread the word, but feel free to pass it on yourself - there's a Tweet button on the right of this page!

Positioning Yourself with Workshops and Seminars

One of the best ways to increase your perceived value to potential customers and clients is to make yourself the "obvious expert".

And one of the best ways to become the obvious expert is to run workshops and seminars that demonstrate your expertise, introduce you to potential customers and even make you money at the same time.

A few years ago, after many months of research and pulling together many years' practical experience, I wrote a manual all about planning, promoting and running your own workshops and seminars. I called it Niche Seminar Secrets and it was published and on sale for £197. Even at that price, the publisher said I had "over-delivered..."

It got great reviews from the likes of Mark Anastasi and Paul Conway and it's been on sale ever since.

The manual has been updated several times since it was published, including late in 2010 and it's just been updated again, for 2012. Even more important, The Complete Secrets of Seminar Success is now available from Amazon for Kindle and at a fraction of the original price - just $9.99, or £6.54 in the UK (including VAT).



You don't have to buy a Kindle to read Kindle books, by the way - you can simply download a free app from the Kindle site, the same place you get the books. Then you can download loads of free books, hundreds of bargains and - most important - The Complete Secrets of Seminar Success!
