The Big Money Writing Little Books site with Mike McMillan


My site is for intelligent, thinking individuals who know the difference between the hype the phony gurus dole out and the reality of building an honest ebook writing & selling business.


Learn How To Write

And Sell Books & eBooks


Would you like to learn how I sold over $10,000 of my books in a 24 hour period before I had a list and without any affiliates!


Would you like to know how I developed an online course related to one of my ebooks which is now offered through over 1,400 colleges across the U.S.--and how a number of my students have done the same? (Registrants line up to pay $99 each to take my course.)


Would you like to know how I've got some of the largest radio and television stations across the country to promote my books and ebooks on their stations--at no cost to me whatsoever?


Here Is The Question You Are Going To Ask: Mike, Why Are You Giving Me So Much Stuff? I will answer that question in a moment!










big money book



To begin with, I'm not a guru! The only people that use that term are people who use it to describe themselves.


In a nutshell, I used to be an inner-city teacher. I wrote a couple very small booklets, and--for some reason they started selling. In fact, they sold so well that I quit teaching so I could do this full time.


Oh, my name is Mike McMillan. And here is an email address where you can reach me. mike.extreme.sp@gmail.com

If you have questions about my product , or--you need help with your book project, you have no reason now not to get help.


That's about me and that's not important. What is important is you! I'm assuming you have either written an ebook and are trying to figure out how to sell it, or--you want to write an ebook and make some money with it. Whichever the case...


STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW!

You are going to run into roadblocks, frustrations, and costly mistakes--and then you will simply give up before you make a dime. But if you think I'm wrong, go ahead, bull your way forward, and then come back in a few months tired, frustrated and broke! Flattened wallet in hand, and hopes of success dashed--maybe you will listen to me then.


BIG MONEY WRITING LITTLE BOOKS

I work with intelligent individuals who are serious about creating and selling books and ebooks online. I say I work with such people, because joining with me goes way beyond just buying my product. Once people get in, we exchange emails. I offer continuing consultation to help solve problems and get my people on the fast track to making money with their publications. I have a forum where we exchange ideas and I allow my students to promote their ebooks for free.


LET ME HELP YOU GET TESTIMONIALS FOR YOUR BOOK OR eBOOK

I have students who have volunteered to review products of other students and provide genuine testimonials that my students can use to promote their books and ebooks. (They are under no obligation to write good testimonials--only honest ones.) But still, this is a tremendous service that can help new authors.


There Is A Blueprint For Success

You must understand the blueprint of success that virtually every million-dollar ebook seller uses. And when you understand that blueprint you will say, "Oh my gosh, it makes so much sense to me now!" But unfortunately, you will never figure that out on your own!


You must have a reasonable good ebook, but it doesn't even have to be great. A lot of the guys making $20,000 a month in this business are absolutely horrible writers and their books are pure junk! Now, I'd like you to write a great ebook, but how good your book is, isn't what determines whether you'll make the big time--it's understanding the blueprint!


Your Product Launch Is Everything!

You have to learn the secret to making a big splash when your ebook comes out. Ebooks never start out slow and work their way up to making their authors a fortune. The big guys in this business start out at the top of the charts when their ebook comes out. They make tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars the first week their book comes out. Then it fades away into oblivion. That's why they keep writing more ebooks. If you don't sell massive--and I mean MASSIVE quantities of your ebook the first week it comes out, you never will. I'm being honest with you, that is a fact. My Affiliate Deluge Module shows you how to do this.


You Must Get Massive Traffic, & It Must Be Free

You must know how to get MASSIVE amounts of free traffic to your site or blog. I'm talking about getting tens-of-thousands of visitors to your site the first week your ebook comes out. And you know what--as impossible as that may sound, it really isn't all that hard. My Dancing With Google and Affiliate Marketing Daily Planner modules show you how to do this!


You Must Create An Army Of Affiliates!

And one final thing. You need to know that the millionaires in the ebook business only sell about 10-30% of their ebooks themselves. The rest are sold by people called affiliates who sell their ebooks for a commission. And oh yeah, maybe you've been to Clickbank and read that they have over 100,000 affiliate marketers signed up there all eager to sell ebooks like yours. My Affiliate Deluge Module shows you how to recruit people like this as well as the big super-affiliates.


And the big super-affiliates--the guys who do sell tens of thousands of dollars in ebooks for people like yourself... they wouldn't touch your ebook with a ten foot pole. Well, at least not unless you know exactly how to find them, how to contact them (gads don't spam them with a proposal whatever you do), and how to convince them to promote your ebook.


KNOW THIS: The guys knocking down $20,000 a month selling their simple ebooks on-line are no smarter than you; They are not better writers than you; Their books are not as good as the one I can show you to write, I know this because I trained many of them myself.


How can you learn to write an ebook, get massive free traffic to your site, create powerful sales pages that actually convert, enlist a army of affiliates to promote your ebook, and get the big super-affiliates to promote your product launch?










My main module, "Big Money Writing Little Books" along with the modules shown below, will teach you how to do these things--and more--much more!


Know this: I wrote every word in every one of these books myself. Neither my main book, nor any of the other modules, are any cheap PLR junk books like others may try to pawn off on you. These books represent a significant portion of my life's work and I take great pride in offering them to you.


Module I

Big Money Writing Little Books


This is the main module for the program. It is 430 pages (whew) because I didn't want to leave anything out. Learn exactly how to write your publication so that IT WILL SELL. I've written over 40 books and ebooks myself, and you will learn from my experience how to do this yourself.

Module II

Dancing With Google


Learn how to exploit Google's algorithm for FREE front page listings. To sell ebooks you MUST get traffic to your site! You can run a wallet-flattening AdWords campaign, and pay for everyone who clicks on your ad--but why? I get front page Google listings on every single ebook I promote--and I get them not in months, or weeks, but usually in days. I'll show you exactly how I do this and you can too. Without traffic, you are doomed--with my techniques you can get front page listings NOW!

Module III

Affiliate Deluge

Create A Flood Of Super-Affiliates

To Promote Your eBook


Learn how to create an army of affiliates to promote your ebook for you. The gurus don't generate a seven figure income by selling their books themselves--they do it by having hundreds of affiliates all helping them sell their books. This is one of the huge keys to success.


Learn how to find the big super-affiliates and convince them to sell your ebook for you. And, in a special added section, I show you how to leverage the resources of big super-affiliates to grow a huge mailing list yourself--AND DO IT FAST! This section of this ebook is worth more than what I charge for my entire program!

I am giving too much away and I know that. I may withdraw this offer at any time, so get in on it right now before I come to my senses! --Mike













"Mike, I was speechless when I first saw how much information you poured into this Extreme Self Publishing Pack. This is the kind of course that is history making. With all due respect to Dan Poynter, Mike, you are the New King of Self-Publishing!


From the motivation piece on page 27, to the multi-million dollar idea you gave me on page 397, you have covered everything I could imagine and much more.


I've taken your ideas presented in this package, written several small books and turned a small book into $50,000 in less than 2 months with only a fraction of the ideas you presented here. I now have several publishers calling me and I'm launching a new coaching program. Mike, what an awesome offering. Words can't express just how powerfully impactful this will be for those people that are wise enough to invest in it.


Pssst!...Hey Mike, I think you're crazy for charging less than $500 for this, but man, I'm happy you are."

Jim Chianese, Las Vegas, NV

There is a flood of cash out there on the Internet. And while most beginners play the losing game of chasing that cash around--I show you how to position yourself in front of it so that it hits you dead on! It really is as simple as that.


You see, people want good information. Good information on any topic you choose will sell if it is properly written and my blueprint for selling it is executed fully. Whatever your topic, there are millions of people scouring the Internet every day--charge card in hand--searching to find someone to deliver the information they want.


You have some great ideas; you know you do. Why not share them with the world and generate a huge income along the way? Get started writing your own ebook today!









I've done this for others--and they are raiding the Internet for tons of cash every day. Oh, you'd better believe it. Here's one of my students below: Shane Dailey. He just got my Big Money Writing Little Books program back in July and stuff is going crazy for him right now.












Dear Mike, "Your book, Big Money Writing Little books, is to say the least, SIMPLY AMAZING! When I began searching for that one single book to help me with my book I searched high and low and came up with at least 30 books that caught my interest.









shane dailey



Dear Mike, "Your book, Big Money Writing Little books, is to say the least, SIMPLY AMAZING! When I began searching for that one single book to help me with my book I searched high and low and came up with at least 30 books that caught my interest.


Upon further research I narrowed it to a few, then to one, yours. There was just something special about the way you wrote and marketed that captured my "gut" instinct and I knew your book was EXACTLY what I was looking for. The language you write in spoke directly to me as if I had just found a personal coach for writing and publishing my book.


Now that I have read your book I know it is even more than I was looking for. It is a direct system that is very easy to follow full of incredible ideas and instructions.


I can't wait to get my book up online and also in print. I will definitely use all your advice and guidance that was clearly presented to help me with both the online version and print. This information is invaluable and will save me incredible amounts of time and money every step of the way. Keep up the great work and look forward to your next book, Bigger money writing even smaller books. Ha ha!"


Shane Dailey, President

www.thesmartmoneygroup.com



Since obtaining my BMLB program 2 months ago, Shane completed his ebook, is selling it successfully on Clickbank, has done dozens of author interviews in radio stations across the country to promote his book, and is teaching a course on the topic of his book at a community college in Los Angeles. He is now working on taking his ebook to the next level--and a major book publisher contacted Shane last week and is turning Shane's book into a printed version to flood the book stores with!












"Mike, I wrote a booklet last weekend. It was a small booklet, only 16 pages. I wrote the booklet on a subject that has been used many, many times. I simply modified it. I spent $0.00 on advertising. And so far, I've sold 12,000 copies!


How did I do it? I took a few tips from your book titled, You Can Make Big Money Writing Little Books. In short,...I pocketed thousands of dollars with one small idea less than 5 weeks after buying your book. Thanks Mike."


Jimmy Krug, Bradenton FL

www.simplepublications.com


(Jimmy has since sold over 100,000 copies of his book!)



My program works wickedly well for "thinking people". My competitors gear their marketing to complete imbeciles who buy into their hype. I won't do that--I respect you too much.

ABSOLUTELY INSANE PROFITS

WRITING & SELLING eBOOKS


I've been interviewed on over a hundred radio and television programs such as ABC World News for a feature on self publishing simple books. And, I've written some paper and ink type books too--and done a lot of Barnes & Noble book signings around the country.


mike mcmillan


I've done live seminars before hundreds of people, and I also developed an on-line class showing others how to develop and sell their own simple books--and the amazing thing is that my course is now offered through over 1,400 colleges around the U.S. and in half a dozen countries overseas... and people gladly pay $99 a whack to take it. Ain't this a great country? One chapter in my book shows you exactly how to turn your ebook into an on-line course as well. On-line courses are hot--and millions of people sign up for them every year. Learn exactly how to do everything I've done with my Big Money Writing Little Books program.


Know these things about me before you consider ordering...

I am not one of the gurus--and I don't like it when people call me one. True, I have sold more books than most of the gurus, but I am just a man. I probably enjoy many of the things in life that you do; family, fun, entertaining, travel, fishing, and cooking out with friends.


You should also know that I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. My father was a factory worker and I was an inner-city public school teacher until I quit a few years ago to devote full time to writing and selling ebook on-line.


I tell you these things because I want you to know that I was probably very close to where you are now before I quit teaching. I understand the frustrations of life and I also know its bounty. You deserve to enjoy life to the max as well. I hope you will consider my offer.


And remember--you risk nothing! My program is covered by a 60 day no questions asked, no bullsh*t guarantee. You must be satisfied or your refund will be processed immediately. But I know that I'm right. And thousands of my students will vouch for the fact that I not only deliver--I over deliver--in the most massive way. You'll see that for yourself in minutes.


My best to you and may all of your dreams come true!

Cancer Vampires
This was easily one of the best weekends of my ENTIRE life.  OKAY, it wasn't a weekend, it was Monday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon, but it's school vacation and the same timespan, so I'm counting it amongst the great weekends in my life thus far.

Mike came up to visit.  Have I ever written in here about how much I love Mike?  We met the first Friday class of the education classes junior year.  I have no idea how in the tiny education department at NYU I went 2 years without meeting him, but I am so fortunate that I did.  Mike is one of the few people on this planet I can be 100% myself around and not feel judged by.  He's totally accepting of how totally out there I can be, and doesn't just tolerate or accept it; he EMBRACES it.  Of course, I get teased for it, too, but isn't that half the fun of putting up with me?

A list of things that probably aren't funny out of context, but cracked us up and will crack us up for a long time to come:

- The camera must have misheard me
- Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at moiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
- What happened to my CARE BEARS?
- (kicks exercise ball) OW!
- Where is my man bag?
- this is [your name], have a great night.
- I'll see you in the magazines....boop boop boop
- Cobalt 60 isotopes
- (whilst making pancakes, adding vanilla) Just squeeze it 'til you're content
- (How many times have you seen him?) Hundreds of times -- Diane Scareberry
- THE MOTHMAN
- Now you have to do something much, much worse (sleep with Charlie).
- START YOUR ENGINES!
- Ladies, now it's time to lip-synch...for your life.
- Bear vs Moose (vs. Shark vs Octopus)
- Shadow and Jackson calendars
- aforementioned bear v moose calendar; same photo, 12 different backgrounds
- you are my truest fan
- tammie brown, ie
- How is your H...I.... hit TV show?
- I broke my neck on a table
- Oh, Oh Oh, Oh........   (oh stop, oh stop)
- I shouldn't perform that
- failblog
- You mothaf***in broke the dawn!
- Sentence correct (which I'd like to share is gramatically INcorrect). 



((slight update))
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
FABIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Now my dream top 3 is ruiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiined. 
 
 
 

   
Catching Up

Yeesh, I feel like it's been a year since I last blogged. It really hasn't, but I have just been so crazy-ass busy, it seems like it. Therefore, I am blogging all the things I wanted to blog about in this one blog. All of them. This will be loooooong. I am warning you in advance, in case you're super busy, you might want to stop back later.

 

Okay, here we go.

 

We'll begin with Friday, January 2. My Alabama cousins and aunt traveled from Tuscaloosa to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl. Their beloved Tide were in the game versus Utah. As for the game itself....well, let's just gloss over that. But they were out a-drinkin' in the Coco Club on Bourbon Street and I think they got a little silly:

 

                            

 

There's Mike in a great hat!                            And Sara....who is apparently now a shriner.

 

So it looks like the trip was a good time, even if the game was--oops, forgot we weren't mentioning that!

 

Moving on.

 

Saturday, my friend Kelly came over in the afternoon to take knitting lessons from my mom. I had called Kel the night before and pretty much begged her to bring the kids. She left Victoria at home napping, but she did bring Christian for me to play with. We had an absolute blast, my sister Emily was there and got to meet him and I fed him his first contraband Candy Cane.

 

       

Playing with Emmy--he seemed to be fascinated. Eating a snack with Kaye.

 

     

Giving kisses to mommy.  And sitting on my lap eating the candy cane, he was trying to watch himself eat it, like he just couldn't believe he got to do this.

 

And this is probably my favorite pic of all....he is delirious over the just finished candy cane and you can see how green his face is after eating it (it was pear flavored and green, not peppermint).

 

Then, Saturday night, I saw Kelly, again as I met her and Mark for drinks. I also had Emily and Chad come with, and her brother Wayne and his wife Cassie were there as well. We were a jolly group out in the midst of some terrible, icy, weather. But it was a great time. One of the highlights of my evening (other than beating Mark at trivia) was the very end as we were getting ready to go. Kelly, who is a very hard working mother, in addition to being a full-time teacher, and she doesn't get out that often. Because of that, she sometimes gets a little, well, loopy is the kindest word for it, when we go out. She was cuddling up to me and falling asleep at the table, so we decided to call it a night. Everyone got up and got ready to leave....and then we had to wait. Kel had a wee bit of difficulty putting her coat on. It was hysterically funny. And I've got pictures! Man, she is going to love me for this:

 

She picked up her coat and seemed to have trouble telling which way was up. So she began to struggle....

 

...and here it looks like she's got it! But, alas, something went wrong with the system and her arm got stuck in the hood and she had to start over.

 

Now, Mark has decided to help and leans across the table to straighten her out. But, she shakes him off, because she knows she can do it herself. At that moment, around the chuckling, she really reminded me of her 2 1/2 year old daughter, Victoria.

 

Still having a bit of trouble, but she finally got Mark to leave her alone. Such a struggle, I would imagine after a battle like this (this has been several minutes at this point) she would probably be pretty tired....

 

...looks like I'm right! After finally getting the jacket on, she felt she deserved a little nap as a reward. And thus completed my evening with laughter. Thanks, Kel, you're such a good time! (Seriously, Kel, this was nearly funnier than the dance video....which lucky for you is stuck inside my phone!)

 

And so we move on to Sunday.

 

I headed back to work at Hamline, after a two week hiatus. Yes, it is nice to be off over the holidays, but I did still have to work my other job and I wasn't being paid while I was off. So, it isn't as great as it sounds. But I managed to squeeze a ton of fun into those two weeks, as you could see if you've read my blog with any regularity. So I worked until 4 and then headed home to my final Christmas of the season, with my nephew, Simon. We didn't get to see him the week after Xmas, so we were all pretty excited. Plus, it was our first ever Xmas with him.

 

Here he is digging in to the pile of presents. He started with the Cabbage Patch doll I bought him. Which he doesn't seem to like much, but he still likes it more than his dad (who is the guy looking on...my brother Nick) who made fun of me for buying a doll for a boy. I think Simon will grow to like it, and besides, it is good for kids to play with dolls, even boys.

 

He is quite the little multitasker, as he was sitting with grandma, playing with the new puzzles Santa brought him, when he picked up a ball and started a game of catch with his Uncle Zack (the gray blob on the right), but he still made time for me when I pointed the camera at him. A new trick, by the way, two weeks ago, he would turn away from me when I pointed a camera at him, for sure he wouldn't smile, but suddenly, he is just mugging it up.

 

I was keeping an eye on him for a bit, and he was playing with the stuff on one of grandma's tables when he took a moment to stop and check out the haps with the Vikes game. They lost.

 

Caught him! He figured out that by pushing the step stool over to the counter, he could reach the candy bowl. And here he is, with his little fingers in the bowl, snatching candy (this was after he was told that he had had enough!).

 

This was the closest he came to sitting still during his visit (you'll notice the blurry hands....he was still a bit in motion) so I snapped a quick portrait. But he wouldn't smile. Little bugger.

 

And that wraps up what was only one weekend. Yowza. And then, today, I found a little gift in my email. My friend Elena sent me a new snapshot of her baby niece, Grace.

 

Here is little Gracie, wearing a darling "I heart my auntie" onesie. She is a cutie! It is nice of her to drop by.

 

Last but not least, I have a non-photo related topic to mention. (Can you tell how much I love my new camera phone?)

 

I was watching t.v. today, just idly flipping channels. With absolutely nothing on (daytime t.v. SUCKS!) I headed for my old standby....GAC. If you're not in the know, it is the country music video channel. I don't watch it, because their programming is pretty terrible, but when they're showing videos, which is more frequently during the day than at night, I enjoy it. So I flip to it and there is a video playing. First off, it was a song that I have never heard before. That is weird enough, but I didn't know who was singing it either. Didn't recognize the voice at all. I was going to move on, because the song was terrible but at that moment, they showed a close-up of the singer. And it was......(c'mon, you had to figure I was going somewhere with this, didn't you?)..........Kevin Costner! Hand-to-God, Kevin Costner (Dances with Wolves, Field of Dreams, Bull Durham) is now a country singer. Movie actor-turned-country singer, I guess.

 

Am I out of the loop or something?

 

Did I miss the transition? The media alert. I don't think so (well, I did find that ONE article). So, I actually sat through that whole video (mostly dealing with NASCAR....yuck) and that whole song--really, really bad--just to see if the credits would explain. Maybe it was for a movie, or a charity, or as a duet with someone; only to find out that apparently he, Kevin Costner, has an entire CD out!

 

Wow. All I can say is wow. Wait, no, I thought of something better than wow.

 

Why? Seriously, Kevin, what were you thinking? Make another baseball movie, those seem to work well for you, anything but this.

 

Okay, I think that just about catches me up on the blogging. I know it was long, but for those of you who hung in there until the end....good for you! You should be very proud of yourselves.

 

As for me, after about 3 hours of composing this message (well, I was working, too) I am ready to file it away. Thus, for me, the holidays are officially over. Welcome to the new year.

 

 

 
 
   
 

He's Outnumbered!
The husband decided to breakdown and get MST3K on DVD.  He all of them on VHS for the longest time.  The man is so stubborn when it comes to embracing modern technology.  I had to threaten him before he broke down and bought a cell phone when we first got married. I swear if the man had his way, he'd be still using a slide rule and dialing the operator in order to connect him to a number that starts with *KLONDIKE 257.

Anyway, we had a mini MST3K marathon and we discovered that both the kiddo and I are Joel fans while the husband is a Mike fan, so every time the theme song came on the kiddo would yell out "Joel!" no matter who was featured in the episode. LOL!



* The phone companies started encouraging the producers of television shows and movies to use the 555 prefix for fictional telephone numbers, roughly during the 1970s. One of the earliest uses of a 555 number can be seen in
Panic in Year Zero! (1962), with 555-2106. In older television shows from the 1950s or 1960s, "KLondike 5" or "KLamath 5" was used, as at the time the telephone exchanges used letters and numbers in phone numbers. More recent works set in this period typically use this convention as well. For example, Dr. Emmett Brown's 1955 phone number in Back to the Future is "KLondike 5-4385".
 
 
 

   
Dream Situation:
I think I would DEFINITELY work at a school that would be willing to co-teach with Dan.  I mean, the plan for the last 3 years has been to teach with Mike (and that would be amaaaaazing), but Dan said it today as we were separating, and it absolutely would be a pretty glorious combination.  We play off each other REALLY well.

Maybe we could be the first set of people to triple-teach a classroom?  3 special ed majors??? What what?

A girl can only dream : )

Speaking of getting a job...I should work a little harder on that, and focus less on cleaning up my semi-neat room.  Just a thought.  If only I weren't exHAUSTED right now and looking at my bed with severe longing.... SNAP OUT OF IT, Em.  You're actually NOT on Spring Break (even if the rest of NYU is...).

**I can't stop thinking about how amazing it would be to teach in the same classroom as either of them.  I would go to work the happiest person in America.  These are 2 of the top people I met in my program; two people I would give my life for without hesitation.  'Lucky' does not even describe getting to be around them, learn from them, talk to them, or work with them.  I could do a LOT worse than being around either of them...like winning a million dollars or meeting a boy I could actually date (aka things that are actually pretty damn good).  Though today Dan offered to let me crash with him and Anna if I need to come to NY for a job hunt, and Mike pretty much ALWAYS has that offer for me, so... <33  Being around ANYONE I graduated with, really, would make being a first  year teacher next year so much better.  Having that support system is the difference between surviving the first year, and burning out.
