    Starting A Business - The Three 'Ps'
    There are a lot of factors to consider when starting a business. Primary among these are the three “P”s – Plan, Prepare and Persist.PlanAfter you have selected some ideas from your brainstorming to base your business around, create a plan of attack. List what you'll need before

    Work From Home Business Ideas

    I am in the process of self-publishing my second book – ‘Let Us Play, A Rock ‘n Roll Love Story’. And because it is self-published I seem to be hearing so many doubters and haters on self-publishing again.

    Granted, it does take a special sort of person to travel that journey of self-publishing. And anyone who goes into it feeling that they are going to make a lot of money is liable to have those hopes dashed quite quickly. But does self-publishing automatically mean a black mark against the author or mean that their career is ruined? Hardly.

    One of the Yahoo groups I am on brings in top agents. Now I do admit that one of them is against self-publishing and feels it is the last resort for a writer. But another is for it and is curious to read an author’s self-published product. It depends on the person.

    As technology changes so does the industry. We have seen success stories in the past that have begun as self-published writers and that gives us hope. More and more places are accepting self-published books too; the author just has to find them. I have even heard of a Lulu author getting his book into a Chapters bookstore.

    Self-publishing is a lot of work and requires ingenuity too. Thinking ‘outside the box’ is a definite requirement.

    Editing is also a must. I have now edited ‘Let Us Play’ so many times in the last twenty-four hours that I am sick of looking at it. LOL. But I am going to be receiving a hard copy in a few weeks so I will be looking at it again.

    Actually Make Money From Painting? Are You Joking?

    How To Write Powerful Headlines

    I don’t intend on self-publishing forever. Yet I am glad that I decided to do it with these two. I have learned a lot about the process of getting a book from my imagination to print. I am constantly learning about promotion and it helps the creative side of me to know the business side. When I do land that big contract, I think I will be better suited to deal with an agent and have a better understanding of what the publisher and the publicist etc. goes through. I will know what it takes to make that book sell. I will know better how hard it is.
