The starting point of any online marketing campaign is the web site. You need to have a place around which your prospective buyers can congregate.
How Do I Post An Interview Request On Writersweekly.Com?
I always, always, always enjoy each edition of Writer’s Weekly. In fact, I’ve successfully published several articles thanks to your “Paying Markets”. My question now is this…how do I get an interview request posted? Is there a fee? What is the process?
My Ebook On eBay – 86 Copies x $14.95! By Angela Hoy
I’ve read about authors selling their books on eBay over the years. However, I was naturally skeptical. With all the books available on that site, what are the chances a buyer will find your book and buy it? Under which category do you post it? How does it work? How much does eBay charge? How could you possibly make a profit from doing this?
Our Green Thumbs
Max enjoyed helping me plant seeds for leeks, onions, two different kinds of sugar peas, green beans, tomatoes, hot peppers, and much more. I’m wondering if the garden is even big enough for the ambitious plans we have for this year!

In the future, when negotiating the price and terms with a “pays on publication” publisher, estimate the date when the payment would be due if it were published on schedule. Then, include a clause in your email agreement or contract …
This Editor Is UNREAL!!!
Angela:
I just got this from an editor about whether she “pays” or not. I’ve never read anything like it, it’s just too hilarious:

What Is Online Marketing? – Part 1 By Richard Hoy
For the next six weeks, I’m going to try to explain what constitutes a “true” online marketing strategy. I’m going to lay out a plan you can use to sell and/or promote online.

There are many ways to make a lot of money from print on demand (POD) books, especially in niche markets. Because of the low setup costs and quick turnaround time, POD printing can be used to produce books in situations where it was not possible to produce them before.

I’ve been fighting a croupy bug for almost two weeks now. I’d get a little better, then worse, then better, again. I felt better on Friday and ran some errands. We then went to our friends’ for dinner that night. On Saturday, I woke up very ill and spent the day in bed. I can count on one hand how many days I’ve spent in bed for an illness…and that includes childbirth.
