I’m a Writer, Thanks to a Brain Tumor by Bill Asenjo, PhD, CRC
I am constantly intrigued by the many paths writers have plod in previous lifetimes. For example, I became a freelance writer thanks to a brain tumor. Let me explain.
I Lost My Head By Megan Potter
No, no there’s my head. Never mind, I found it. I was wrong, I didn’t lose my head, but I have pretty much lost everything else that has ever crossed my path…keys, glasses (I don’t even wear them), mittens, and yes, paperwork. I happen to know that I am not alone in the writing world. […]
ONLINE PR – THEORY AND PRACTICE, PART THREE by Richard Hoy
Last week we dove into the world of linking campaigns. If you recall, I wrote there were two kinds – a registration campaign and a link request campaign. A registration campaign, as I wrote in last week’s article, is when you register your Web site with all the search engines and directories out there on […]
Earning $3K/Month Publishing Short Stories by Email By Isobel Michelle
One day a fortnight I sit down and write fourteen 250-word stories. I send these stories out daily via e-mail. Each subscriber pays $10 a month and, with just under 300 subscribers, I have a monthly income of almost $3000.
Online PR – Theory and Practice, Part Two by Richard Hoy
Last week I talked about the two principles that comprise my general philosophy of online PR, which are: 1.) Be a good friend by being a good source of information, and 2.) The Internet has its own system of influencers with as much, if not more, impact than traditional media and they are easy to […]
An Immodest Story of Modest Success by Kenneth A. Champeon
Frankly, I have never taken authors’ recipes for writing success seriously. “Those who don’t know, teach,” as the old saw goes. In any case, it is quite easy to make money writing. Infinitely more difficult is caring about what you write, without enduring the enervation and stupid inefficiency of the query/rejection-letter cycle.
Online PR – Theory and Practice, Part One by Richard Hoy
This week I’d like to kick off a two-part series on online PR. In this first part, we’ll go though the basic theory of good online PR. And in part two, we’ll discuss how you actually put the theory to practice. I got my start in marketing as a public relations (PR) professional. PR professionals […]
The Accidental Real Estate Expert by Dan Rafter
Four years ago, I didn’t know a thing about real estate. I didn’t even own a house. If you would have asked me then if I knew what an ARM was, I would have told you, “Yes, in fact, I have two of them.”
INTERVIEW WITH LYNN THOMAS, AUTHOR OF THE CURRENT #2 BEST SELLING EBOOK ONLINE by Richard Hoy
What does it take to be a best selling e-author? I know you’ll learn a lot from this interview with Lynn Thomas. Lynn’s book, How to Make and Market Gel Candles that Sell Like Wildfire, held the #1 best selling spot on Booklocker.com for several months in a row, longer than any other author in […]
DISTRIBUTING SELF-PUBLISHED BOOKS by Richard Hoy
This week I’d like to discuss the trials and tribulations of distributing self-published books. There is an incorrect perception that every book has to be distributed through traditional channels in order to be successful. What I mean by that is authors think their books have to be distributed by Ingram or Baker & Taylor and […]
