25 NovRating Ebook Compilers

Now that you’ve finished writing your eBook and have a basic understanding of what an eBook compiler does, you may be feeling overwhelmed by the number of compilers on the market. To help you make your decision, I have tested and reviewed the best-rated eBook compilers currently available.


* E-ditor


This software has a demo version that you can download to try out before purchasing. You can’t actually use the demo to create an eBook, but you can run the software and test it out thoroughly to see if it does what you need it to do for your particular eBook.


This eBook compiler is one of the easiest to use. The software has a very user-friendly help menu that provides instructions for and explanations of every field on every screen. The program also includes video tutorials demonstrating every step of this compiler with clear explanations of all fields that need to be filled out. There are 7 screens that you use to choose your eBook options.


This compiler requires your files to be in HTML format. You follow simple directions, and the compiler loads your files. If you decide to edit your eBook after it has been compiled, make any changes in your original files and click on “Compile you eBook” and your changes will appear in your compiled eBook.


E-editor allows for some customization of your eBook. You can create a special page that appears when the eBook is opened; create customized icons that appear on the desktop after downloading; use your own logo on the task bar of your eBook; customize the task bar’s buttons, where the task bar appears in your eBook, and choose the task bar’s colors. Additionally, you can choose to have the eBook open to the last page read, which many of your buyers will appreciate.


An excellent and unique feature of E-ditor is the capability to choose a standard Microsoft window or to create your own design for a window to personalize your eBook. The program provides some sample window designs, but you can use any .bmp (bit map skin) graphic you have stored on your hard drive.


E-ditor is a good choice if you are new at producing eBooks because it is easy to use and allows you to customize the appearance of your eBook.


* Desktop Author


This compiler does not require a browser, nor do you have to download software or plug-ins. The program converts exe. files into pages that look like a standard book. You can create and produce eBook pages scaled to fit on your computer screen without any scrolling. Additional features include WYSIWGY (what you see is what you get) page editing and creation, the ability to manipulate internal images, cut and paste functions, hotlinks to pages, email, website, or other files. It is an excellent compiler to use for a marketing tools, such as creating brochures and manuals in addition to eBooks.


* EBook Edit Pro


This compiler provides a demo version, which allows you to test out its features. The software uses a Wizard that leads you step-by-step through the set-up and creation of your eBook. Customization includes text editing that appears on the pop-up starting message window; the ability to allow or prevent resizing of your book and the mouse-click pop-up menu; enabling or disabling the navigation bar and choosing the buttons you want to appear; and customizing the eBook’s desktop icon and the logo that appears on the navigation bar.


Ebook Edit Pro is loaded with excellent features that allow you to create multi-media Ebooks, and includes a Wizard that is customized for beginners and for advanced users. The software uses HTML files, downloading them from the directory where they are saved. Edit and resave your files in the original software used to create those files, and then with a single click you can re-compile your Ebook.


Features include customization of icons, toolbars, and the “about box.” This compiler has a particularly useful feature called the Rebrander feature. This permits you to enter customized code into your Ebook pages and distribute the Rebrander software to your affiliates or distributors. They can then customize the links included in the Ebook, but they can not alter any link or information that you have not entered a customized code for.


The software includes “eBrand-It” software that allows custom fields for your customer’s name, affiliate ID or URL. This feature is a powerful marketing tool because affiliates are much happier giving away your Ebook from their own site when they can customize it.


* Ebook Compiler


This compiler offers a demo version that allows you to compile 10 files. If you don’t include graphics, you can create a 10 page Ebook that allows printing and copying of the Ebook. The catch is that you can’t sell any Ebook you create in the demo version.


The purchased software is user-friendly with easy-to-follow help files that not only guide you through the steps of compiling your Ebook, but also explains what an Ebook compiler does. The software provides detailed instructions on how to create source files from Microsoft Word 2000 and 1997, PowerPoint 2000 and 1997, and HTML documents. It contains less detailed instructions for creating source files from other programs.


This compiler allows for password protection of your entire Ebook or for selected pages. Additionally, you can set a time limit on your Ebook. When the runs out, the customer no longer has access unless they pay for it. In other words, it allows you to create a demo version of your Ebook for marketing purposes.


You can set a single password or multiple passwords. Using multiple passwords assigns each user their own specific password. Online help files guide you through setting up your passwords. You can also create a Sales and Thank-you page for selling a password protected Ebook. This is a good choice for the novice, particularly since it includes basic features for password protection and distribution.


* Activ Ebook Compiler


This is an easy to use compiler that provides excellent features. This software can support HTML, JPEG, GIF, and all active plug-ins. Features includes password protection, branding, internet linking, icon customization, assigning unique serial numbers, splash screen, file compression, and start-up messages. It also provides free lifetime upgrades. Additionally, it includes a preprocessor, re-brander, active script, and detailed instructions for using HTML, Power Point, and Microsoft Word files.


There are several other excellent Ebook compilers on the market that are worth looking into.

Additionally, it includes virus prevention that alerts the user to any modifications made to your Ebook and offers usage statistics so you can track your Ebook’s use. With all these advanced features, this is an excellent compiler for the beginner because it is exceptionally easy to run.

24 NovCreating Posters That Market To Existing Customers

Want the fastest way to increase sales? Then stop focusing on sales and shift your attention to your customers. It has been repeatedly proven that keeping your customers happy and updated on the latest about your business results in more repeat purchases.

Think of it this way. If you think you have sold your paper clips to almost every business and individual in town, is it time to pack up and move to another town? Definitely not. If you shift your focus from getting new customers to marketing to your old customers, you can likely see a huge sales opportunity. People, after all, are likely to buy from someone they already know and whose product they are familiar with.

So, lets say you are considering launching a poster campaign of an upcoming sale. How can you create posters that market to your existing customers? Here are some ideas you can consider:

Research on your target market. Before you design your poster, its important that you collect information on your past customers. What were the items they bought from you? In what quantity and frequency? Gather also customer data such as their income, buying power, gender, and other basic information. From the information you gathered you can create a poster that gives discounts to the most bought items in your store. You can also consider tying up your in demand item to a not so in demand item. This way you facilitate movement from other products you sell. You can also offer discounts in your posters to old customers to encourage past customers to visit your store again. If you have insight to the buying preferences of your customers, you can easily customize your poster to meet their needs.
Give something more. People love getting extra items. You can put in your posters enticing promos such as first 15 customers get a free item or visit us from 8am till 11am and you get 20% discount on all items you buy. Such promos would surely entice people to check you out.
Deliver in your promise. Whatever you promise to your existing customers in your poster, you need to fulfill it. Nothing can be more discouraging that not getting what have been promised to you. This would not only put off customers, but give you bad publicity as well. It would reflect on your image and cause you to lose customers in the long run. So, whatever you promise to your customers, be sure to deliver on it.
Design your poster creatively. You cant entice your old customers to check you out with your offers, what more with a dull poster. Be sure to design your poster attractively to catch attention. It doesnt have to be a full color poster printing as it can be extremely expensive, but you can always opt for two- or four-color printing. Choose graphics carefully and make sure to use simple words. Deliver your message directly and clearly. Keep in mind that the few seconds you have to attract attention is all you got for your poster to succeed, so make the most of it.

Sounds like a lot of work? Not really. If you get the job done right and gather everything you need to know about your customers, you can easily create a poster that will market to your existing customers effectively.

25 OctCheap Vps Your Cheap Dedicated Server

VPS as the word stands for means a Virtual Private Server. Here a physical server is distributed into a number of servers via a virtual partition. Each virtually partitioned server has its own operating system or an OS. The operating system can be Linux or Windows. Usually people buy a Windows VPS because of its ease of use.

Since each VPS is a separate entity it can be rebooted independently without affecting any other server. Because of this ease, Hosting Companies are taking advantage of it and selling it to customers at a very cheap price hence the term Cheap VPS. Not only the hosting companies but the customers are also getting benefitted from it a lot. But how?

Everyone who wants to make a presence online has to make a website and get it hosted from a hosting company. One has three options to choose from the first one being Shared Hosting in which you do not have much features. The second option is a Dedicated Server in which you have features like customization, increased security etc. But this option is very costly. There comes the third option called as VPS or a Virtual Private Server which is very cheap as compared to a dedicated server and still offers all its features. So VPS is for people who want to make an online presence, want to expand their business or have an increased traffic and still are low on budget and cannot pay for a Dedicated Server.

Advantages of Cheap VPS

-One of the biggest advantages a VPS offers is its low set up cost. If you set up a dedicated server for the same features then it would cost you almost three times the cost for setting up your VPS.

-Here you can host a large number of websites on the same server which is not possible in case of Shared Hosting and very costly in a Dedicated Server.

-You can have a better control over your server as compared to a Shared Hosting plan.

-You can customize your server as per your requirements. You can download and install as many applications and software as and when you need them.

Drawbacks of a Cheap VPS

There is only one drawback to this type of hosting. Here one has to have a thorough knowledge of the platform he is choosing on his VPS. By platform we mean to say either Windows VPS or a Linux VPS. Usually people prefer windows because of its ease of use as compared to Linux but Windows VPS is usually expensive than a Linux VPS because of the licensing cost involved in it.

After studying the various features described above of a Cheap VPS all we can say is that it is a perfect combination of price and features when compared to a Dedicated Server Hosting. Here you get the price of a Shared Hosting and still have all the features of a Dedicated Hosting.

If you are with UCVHOST you will access to support executives 24/7, 365 days a year. They will guide you whenever you need help. Also our 99.999% up time makes sure you are up and running with the least amount of downtimes.

19 SepWordPress Theme Generator



If you thought that creating a customized website using the WordPress platform is a costly proposition, which is the cup of tea of adept professionals only, think again. By choosing an ideal WordPress theme generator from the many available in the market these days, you can not only bid adieu to cookie cutter websites based on run-of-the-mill themes, but even create your own customized theme to suit your business persona. The best part is that you don’t need any programming or coding knowledge for the entire job!

In order to harness the power of WordPress so that you can transform your publishing platform to a success, you will need to decide the type of WordPress theme generator that will let you achieve your goals. Usually, there are two categories of theme generators. The first category of WordPress theme maker refers to the type that builds an entire theme for you which you can upload to your server. These types of theme generators operate on a theme platform where you get the tools to customize the theme fully after you have installed the software, that too without knowing CSS, HTML, Photoshop or PHP.

The second category of WordPress theme maker does not need you to install any software. Instead, you will have to purchase the theme platform, and get it installed in your WordPress site after which you can design your theme within the installation.

Whatever be the option that you choose to use in order to build your website, you need to keep certain factors in mind. To begin with, choose a theme generator that gives you the flexibility to customize the layout and design for any post or page. Another factor to consider is the ability to create custom widget placements. A few easy-to-use WordPress theme generators may come with limitations where you can’t put the widgets on any page except for the home page or are unable to place them anywhere other than the sidebars. So, checking the theme generator features before buying one will help you to steer clear of such problems.

Another pointer to check in your chosen theme maker is if it allows SEO tools and social networking plugins as the absence of these features will seriously hinder your SEO and social marketing efforts.

Lastly, a reasonable pricing model and quick customer support for troubleshooting are other factors that should play a decisive role in your final choice. Do your homework well to stay away from exorbitant theme generators that promise the moon but fall short of delivering even a quarter of the same.

So, before shelling out money for buying a WordPress theme generator, keep this checklist in mind and you will surely be able to get value for money.
