Grab The Helm! Creative Prospecting Will Make You The Captain Of Your Own Salary! By Matt Gallus
When writing for a livable income, it can sometimes feel like you’re navigating through harsh and unforgiving waters. On the left, you have the sharp, jagged rocks, and in every other direction, you have enormous waves crashing over your deck, calling you to the bottom. One wrong move and your salary will be feeding the sharks and man-eating squid. Argh! What does a writer do to fight back when his sword has fallen off the ship? Luckily, Ol’ Captain Matt Gallus has read enough books to know a thing or two about killing the problem with your bare hands. I’ll show you how!
Make Money By Putting ALL Your Eggs Into One Basket! By Monica A. Andermann
OK, I’ll admit it. Sometimes I’m a chicken. I prefer the tried and true to going out on a limb and experiencing something new any day.

We Just Hired An Ex-cop And Veteran…Who Lives On A Boat – By Angela Hoy
Our one-on-one, owner-to-customer service isn’t changing. Richard and I will still have direct contact with our WritersWeekly and BookLocker families. But, we are shifting things around a bit. Richard has always performed the majority of the back-end computer work, which can be taught to someone else. He really wants to get more books on the market under his own name. I haven’t released a new book in two years myself and I finally realized that I might never release another one if we didn’t hire someone to help with some of my activities. For example…accounting. Like many writers, I DETEST accounting and anything even remotely related to math. (Ug! Why didn’t I hire someone to do that years ago?!)
