Will E Books ever really catch on?

Internet
Have you ever tried searching for good e books to download and read on your PC? Anyone wanting to explore the e book world is in for a shock. Its an absolute nightmare. There are so many formats and layouts that will confuse all but the most experienced e book user and quite honestly - can we really be bothered with it all? I spent a good two hours searching through the net on various sites. What did I find? Mostly commercial sites promising free e books only to find they want you to register ...

The Benefits of Buying Used Store Fixtures

Business
The difference between antique or vintage store fixtures and used store fixtures is simple: antique fixtures have a classic look and style. In many cases they are brand new but manufactured in a style of the past such as deco or minimalist. Used store fixtures are just that -- they've been used before. They may be only six months old, purchased by a retail store owner who failed quickly. They may be in good shape and being they're not new, if they are what you are looking for, they're probably ...

Seven "Really" Truly Unique Ways to Sell More Books

Marketing
These marketing tips aren't for the weak at heart. Use discretion and know where the ego and self-promotion boundary stands for you. 1. Use a fold over business card. Place your book information inside the fold. The title on the bottom side of the fold so it is seen first when the card is opened. Only one book to sell right now, no problem. To fill up the page, add the book's tag line or this book is about paragraph. On the top of the fold, list three places the book can be purchased. 2. When ...

The Christian Community Tries To Take Back What Belongs To Them!

Spirituality
"See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." Is. 43:19 Until now, plagued by scandals, and unscrupulous business practices, the Network marketing industry was being frowned upon by the Christian community. Many Christians, who once believe that involvement in this industry is an illegitimate way to earn a living, now see it as an alternative to help alleviate financial and funding pressure. For those who ...

Amazons of E-Books

Internet
For a long time I was the only one I knew that sold e-books. I've been selling e-books for 7 years, and when I would say "I sell e-books" at parties, people would barely know what I was talking about for a long time. I was shocked when a mutual friend told me about Julie Fast, a woman with several successful e-book sites including bipolarhappens.com. As it turns out she does the same thing for a living as I--selling e-books, and lives right in the same area. When I met her in a Portland, ...

I Get My Best Niche Ideas in the Bathroom!

Business
Since I am a multi-tasker, why not? I won't mention the other tasks, but I am a multi-tasker for sure. The bathroom became a place with such a peaceful atmosphere that I almost have a mini office setup in there. After Calgon finally took me away, I saw a way to therapeudically, (is that a word?) multi-task. The quiet atmosphere and the lack of phones and doorbells have created the perfect place for me in the bathroom. I don't hear the dishwasher, I don't hear the dryer, and the TV is ...

EBOOKS are books too!!!

Internet
Ebooks are books too!!! Electronic books - that is books you read on the computer- have the same information and entail the same reading experience as books in the traditional form - that is books you actually hold in your hands. An ebook looks just like a Microsoft document but it is transformed into an ebook format such as PDF where the reader cannot make any changes to the document. There are other points of comparisons of ebooks and just regular books. Anybody can buy an ebook the ...

The Problem With E-Books

Internet
One of the most popular online ventures is selling e-books. People are hungry for information; that's why they're on the Web in the first place. And e-books are cheap to produce and distribute. However, I've come across quite a few new online entrepreneurs thinking they're going to strike it rich selling a $20 or $30 e-book. They've failed to do some simple math. Suppose you sell an e-book for $30. Deduct $5 off your $30 sell price to account for advertising and other costs. That leaves you ...

Does Hype Work on the Web? (The Sequel)

Marketing
I recently wrote an article that asked readers, "Does Hype Work on the Web?" My contention was that today's web users are too savvy to fall for hyper-inflated sales language like "Totally insane offer!" and "Expires soon, don't delay!" and we're jaded from having been subjected to it by TV advertisers over the years. The response I got to that article suggests my theory was mostly correct. A group of e-booksellers and publishers used the article to jump start a discussion on their forum about ...
