I’m writing in regards to the amazon.com zshop listings for sellers that sell books. The information for the sellers has a line that states purchase information with a quantity. Does this indicate that they have purchased this quantity of books?
We had four kids, a mortgage, car payments and assorted bills. What better time to become a full-time freelance writer?
I neglected to mention I also had a wife – a very supportive wife – who still remains very supportive. Of course, when I told her I’d be working at home, she went out and got a job.
This Week:
Our Independence Day holiday was very relaxing. We took the day off, attended the parade and spent time with the children. Ali treated us all to homemade macaroni salad, homemade apple pie and homemade cake (God bless her) and she and Richard cooked hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill.
The following question arrived in our email box last week:
What is your take on e-mail ‘Opt-In Advertising?” I recently received an email solicitation from a large company, in which such advertising was touted as a good marketing tool, because it supposedly involves an audience that has agreed to receive ads (a concept that I find remarkable–I’d never agree to such a thing). Do you have any knowledge of such stuff and, if so, what is your perception of its potential value?
Richard and Angela,
I have been fairly shouting from the rooftops to my writer-buddies that WritersWeekly.com is the best online market for authors who write about writing. I have never received such prompt feedback about my submissions, whether yea or nay…have never been paid as quickly (virtually nobody else pays on acceptance these days)…and you have always been so courteous and attentive to any concerns I’ve had.
In short, you rock.
Warm regards,

In-flight publications are a unique breed in the magazine industry. Geared toward the flying public – which is a fairly broad demographic – they offer a wide range of articles, essays and shorts on everything from travel and food to politics and current events. Given this diversity, each publication is still very specific when it comes to their editorial needs.
I’ve just started a blog in order to generate more link backs and traffic to my site. Some might argue that this is a form of writing for free. However, I’m doing it for myself with a specific purpose in mind and it only takes me half an hour a day.
What do you think of blogs in general and of doing it like I am, to generate traffic?
Two framed check stubs sit side by side in my office. The first, for $5.00, recalls the first time I got paid to write what I love. There were numerous small steps that followed, and I often doubted I would break into the “big time” publications whose recognition I so craved.
