Creating a Marketing Success Strategy for Your Book
Whether you’re a self-published, first-time author or a writer who’s landed multi-book deals with a major publisher, the truth is your job’s just starting. Whether you’re self publishing or going with a traditional publisher, assume that all of the responsibility for securing media coverage for your book rests firmly on your shoulders. The good news is if you utilize traditional PR, and various forms of online media including blogging and social media, you can create interest, start a buzz and develop a fan base and – sell books!
How to Read a Book in Ten Minutes a Day
We're all busy. Life moves at a rapid pace and we do our best to keep up. Reading becomes one of those things that gets put on the shelf (pun intended) because other things become a priority. And yet, when we do get to read, we enrich our lives and our businesses. I know a lot of people who say that they'd like to learn to speed read, but very few of them actually do it. The perception is that it will take some time to learn. Actually, it's very easy and even if it does take a bit of time, it can reap huge rewards of saved time in years to come.

Creating an Internet Presence
Creating an internet presence requires more effort than building a website and hiring a geek to manage your Facebook page. And don't think you can learn about it in a two day seminar. That would be like thinking you could cap the BP spill with a toothpick. Just like you can not learn leadership skills at a 3 day retreat you will not create a true sustainable presence on the internet by delegating it to tech geeks and gurus.

Who knows what year it is anyway?
The last day of the liturgical year is the Saturday before the First Sunday of Advent. In 2009 this was Saturday, November 28. Do you know when it is in 2010? What does Fiscal Year-End Mean?

Why are you burying your talent?
A miser, to make sure he controlled all his wealth, sold all that he had and converted it into a great lump of gold, which he hid in a hole in the ground. Then he repeatedly went to visit and inspect it. This roused the curiosity of one of his workmen, who, suspecting that there was a treasure, when his master’s back was turned, went to the spot, and stole it away. When the miser returned and found the place empty, he wept and tore his hair.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Self Publishing
Gone are the days when you needed either a book deal or a large sum of money to publish a book. Self-publishing is no longer seen as just "vanity publishing"; it's a legitimate professional way to get your ideas into print. And now, with the Kindle and iPad making e-books mainstream, you don't even need it in print! But that doesn't mean it's all plain sailing. Traditional publishing does have some advantages, so if you do decide to take the self-publishing route, make sure you get those benefits in other ways.
The world doesn’t pay for what you know, but for……….
Okay I’ll go ahead and finish the sentence: The World Doesn’t Pay You For What You Know but for What You Do. I guess we would all acknowledge the truth of that and yet I am amazed at the number of people I run into who are bogged down in analyzing, learning, planning and organizing when what they really need to do is take action. I think more than anything else that’s what separates winners from losers – the winners take action.
How Authors Can Use Webinars to Sell More Books
If you're an expert who has written a book about your area of expertise - or you're in the process of writing it - I'm sure you know already that it's not enough to just publish the book and wait for the money to come rolling in. You need to do more - much more - to promote it (if you want more sales) and you (if you're using the book for positioning as an expert). Webinars can be a powerful tool to help you as an author. Here are three ways you can use them to help you as an author.

Judging a Book
You've heard it said that you can't judge a book by its cover. This has never been more true as the next book you buy may not even have a cover. Several months ago, retail publishers reported that there were more electronic books sold in a month than printed books. This is staggering to consider. One of the publishing experts I really respect, Dan Poynter, put it in perspective, saying, "It took cars 40 years to replace the horse, the CD took just 15 years to replace the vinyl record, but it's taken just four years for the Kindle to overtake printed books on Amazon."
