So You Want to Write a Book

Though folks may offer top notch services for your manuscript, if they are charging you to do so or, if they are not providing a serious marketing channel that puts your book where readers will see it. Then as an author you need to be aware that YOU are THEIR market. By entering into such a deal, you have changed your role from author to publisher, because you have now are in the business of marketing and selling books too.

Submit Your Finished Book for Review

We all know that not all books are created equal. Some have big-name authors. Some have big-name publishers. Some have big-dollar marketing plans. Other books are written after work, after dark, after the kids are put to bed.

The Blog Herald: Flying Cars Are Unlikely

Filed Under SOB Business, Successful Blog, Tech/Stats | 6 Comments

Did They Promise You Flying Cars Too?

When I first got to the Internet, I unconsciously tried to give everything a place, north, south, east, west. Being visual, I still find myself, thinking about people’s blogs and websites on a map of the world in my head. But that’s only half of the story.

The Blog Herald: The Two Webs — Information or Relationships?

Filed Under Successful Blog | 3 Comments

Relational Information?

We’re living in two Internets. It looks much like the companies we find in the world of brick and mortar. One is about places, information, and data. It’s the buildings in which people work. The other is about people, relationships, and conversation. It’s the people who work in those buildings. One is a structure. The other is social.
