The 'School Marketing Manual for the Digital Age (3rd ed)' 2010 by Bryan Foster will be released this week.

This e-book will contain over 50% more pages, including numerous internet screenshots, to assist with appreciating this new dynamic form of marketing schools.

There will also be over 100 live web-links and numerous pages devoted to internet marketing for schools.

This is the 3rd edition of the popular 'School Marketing e-Handbook: Easy to Use Guide to Market Your School (2nd ed)' 2009 written by Bryan Foster.

Other successful contemporary and traditional forms of school marketing are also developed to show how these should also be a part of the School Marketing Plan.

The instructional nature of this manual make this a very informative, easy to read and implement e-book. It is written in  summarised point format, which makes it a no nonsense approach for the busy professional.

Why waste time wading through other various narratives when there is a quick and easily accessible e-book!

Bryan Foster comes with almost 20 years of marketing schools' experience in one of the most hotly contested regions in Australia, the Gold Coast, along with country schools experience.

This 'School Marketing Manual for the Digital Age (3rd ed)' 2010 by Bryan Foster will be available from the Church Parish Marketing (CPM) website later this week as an e-book and priced at $AU16.95!

There is a growing interest in using external blogs to market schools. This is in addition to the school’s own blogs on the school's website.

The external blog site could be used for three main reasons:

• these increase traffic to your School website through the links you include in the general blog template you create, and also in the blog posts you write, which are directed to your School’s website
• these assist with your website’s SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as each point (links, as per above) back to your School website assists the SEO
• in most cases these external blogs are free of charge.

(Costs are optional depending on your usage and blog complexities and on the Blog provider. In most cases you can easily do this free of charge.)

Good examples of these external blogs are provided by Blogger and WordPress.

The new e-book School Marketing Manual for the Digital Age (3^rd ed) will include examples of both the Blogs and Blogs Posts for Blogger. There is also information to start the development of Blogger and WordPress blogs.

Also included are domain listings for other popular external blog sites.

External blog usage for school marketing is supported by Bryan Foster author of the School Marketing Manual for the Digital Age (3^rd ed).

The School Marketing e-Handbook: Easy to Use Guide to Market Your School (2nd ed) by Bryan Foster reaches a new pinnacle in pricing this year by being within the Amazon to Apple iPad e-book range.

2010 will see this e-book for sale at $AU14.95, which equates today to $US13.15, Euro9.50, GBP8.30 and $NZ18.85.

I believe that this is now a fair range of pricing for the e-book market.

e-Books will certainly increase in popularity this year with the introduction of Apple's iPad, along with Google's soon to be released offerings, possibly through other computer distributors.

This e-book is available through my two websites: at this SMA site as well as the CPM site.
 
My new church marketing e-book, published this week, is also available at both sites for $AU16.95. The 'Church Marketing Manual for the Digital Age (2nd ed) 2010 is 300+ A4 sized pages and has an 80 page Internet Applications section, including 60+ internet screenshots and 130+ weblinks to assist the church marketing personnel.

The School Marketing e-Handbook is placed well withing the new iPad and Amazon e-book price range is written by Bryan Foster.
