An Author’s Dilemma: Surviving the Seismic Shifts in the Book Trade
| |
| Book tours are going the way of the LP in the music industry. They are still there, but they’re becoming more and more scarce. As with all types of intellectual property, book sales are being hit hard. The model that worked so well only a few years ago, is now broken. It takes more work and authors now have to be marketers as well as writers, but with these shifts come opportunities. The model has changed and the game has shifted, but, the days of the successful author, need not be a thing of the past. |

PR for Musicians
| |
| Perhaps the most difficult question that a musician has to answer when it comes to public relations or marketing is - why? Isn’t having created the art enough? The short answer to that is no and particularly not now. If you want to reach your public and get your art exposure, you need to take control of your marketing and your career. This is particularly true in the music world. |

Mary Ellen Tribby and EarlyToRise.com’s Amazing Growth Spurt from 8 million to 27 million in one year
| |
| At the recent Strategic Profits seminar I attended in Florida I got introduced to Mary Ellen Tribby of EarlyToRise.com.
EarlyToRise is owned by Agora Publishing, which in Tribby’s words is an “Idea Company” and they focus on direct marketing.
I was totally blown away when they shared their metrics with me. They have a list of 300,000 people, and they make an average of $40 per person.
Their year-to-year growth is stunning. Take a peek:
* ‘04 - 3 million
* ‘05 - 5 milliom
* ‘06 - 8 million
* ‘07 - 27 million
* ‘08 - 36 million
Notice the huge spurt from ‘06 to ‘07?
After the event I had a chance to talk to Tribby and I asked her to explain the main “mind-shifts” or “strategic shifts” that lead to that stellar growth.
Here was her response |

What To Do With Cracks in Stucco
| |
| My tip today has to do with surface cracks in the stucco substrate. They may be unsightly, but short of living on a hill in an active seismic region, cracks shouldn’t really mean much to you. Anything less than the thickness of a credit card can easily be filled and that’s that! Remember that most building codes today mandate a waterproof vapor barrier under all stucco, so it is not likely that a simple surface crack will result in water intrusion. |

World at Work Trends - The Impact of Charisma
| |

In an economic environment where organisations are pressured to do more with less, businesses and governments will continue to demand more specific skills and behaviours. The pressure to find the right skills in the right place at the right time will increase as working age populations decline, economies rebound, emerging markets rise, and the nature of work shifts. This will intensify the skills mismatch. |
