Selling Secrets

Selling Secrets is a clever site set up by a local real estate agent who wanted to embark on the sale of an online E-Book and also tap into a different market for real estate leads and contacts. The site is based around a Auto Responder and Newsletter system and automated document sale and download system hooked to paypal. He also keeps a regular blog.

The site allows visitors to sign up to a monthly newsletter to receive the latest details about the local real estate market as well as tips on preparing a home for sale to maximise the sale price.

The site also allows for users to purchase an online e-book about selling their house. The purchase and download of this e-book is totally automated and payment processed by pay pal.

There are also links to and from facebook to employ the powers of social networks to help publicise the site and increase the number of visitors to the site.

This setup of a Joomla site allows someone to self publish and sell a text like a novel or how-to book and market it to a wider audience – the entire world.
