• Thirteen Rules for Publicizing Your Book
13 May 2008 at 1:07am
by noreply@blogger.com (Yvonne Perry)
by Mark David Gerson
1) There are no rules. What worked for your last book may not work on this one. What worked for your friend?s book may not work for yours. Publicity is an art not a science. Feel out what works and go with it. If something doesn?t seem to be working, let it go.
2) Your publisher won?t do it for you. With few exceptions, your publisher (unless you?re the publisher) won?t provide a lot of marketing support ? unless you?re famous enough not to need marketing support. So if you want people to know about your book, it?s up to you to tell them.
3) If you?re self-publishing, don?t skimp on your book cover. Your book cover is your most important promot... ( cont'd )

 Tim Stewart is the author of Positive Force. He will be Yvonne Perry?s guest on Writers in the Sky Podcast on May 16!

By the time he retired as a Captain in 1998, he had been a military policeman, a motor pool dispatcher, a combat medic, an infantryman, an infantry platoon leader, an infantry executive officer, and an infantry company commander (twice). He had taken a unit to Germany and provided training for one of the elite units, and was also a trainer at the Officer ... ( cont'd )

• Evaluate the Profit Power of Your Next Book Title
8 May 2008 at 1:01am
by noreply@blogger.com (Yvonne Perry)
By Roger C. Parker
Titles are more than just words that appear on the front covers of books. Titles can create ?brands? that not only help sell your book, but can change your life by pre-selling future books and positioning you as the obvious expert in your field, opening the doors to endless follow-up marketing opportunities.
I love titles, and I love talking about them and writing about them at my Published & Profitable website--www.publishedandprofitable.com?and in my blogs. The right title is crucial to a nonfiction book?s success?and the author?s future success.
Unfortunately, titles are often taken for granted. Worse, titles are rarely tested. As a result, a... ( cont'd )

• The high cost of energy
1 May 2008 at 11:16pm
by noreply@blogger.com (Yvonne Perry)
This morning you balanced your checkbook with an automatic withdrawal of over $400 for natural gas and electricity to heat or cool your 4,000-square-foot home. On your way to the airport, you filled up your SUV for over $70. You are spending a lot more than you spent last year for your morning cornflakes, the rib-eye steak you had last night, and the corn squeezens from your local moonshiner.
You?re mad as hell and want to know what?s going on. Are you being gouged? After all, you already paid for today?s energy. It is really all about being able to plan for the future. Do the energy companies really earn obscene profits? And what?s with a new energy policy ... ( cont'd )
