I want to kick-start a campaign to promote an ebook geared to help men and women raise their salaries even if their bosses are micromanagers. I would like to run the campaign via the internet and later go offline or do both simulataneously.

Got it…Working on discovering the hook behind an ebook I want to sell. That;s why I asked the question.
Thank you
Yeah, there are no hard and fast rules about the hook. You dive in, look for interesting stories, and keep digging until you discover something outrageous or fascinating or dear to the heart of your audience. It’s a bit like trying to think of something interesting to talk about on a first date — you only know a bit about your date, but you know…Read more
