Other Added - Top Ten eBook Mistakes and How to Correct Them
Have you ever considered the idea that a business is like a parent and employees like its children?Think about it. Employers must nurture and supervise their businesses and employees like parents must do with their children. The “family unit” thrives on strong direction, fair but firm discipline, and solid structure. The employer “parent” is responsible for instilling this foundation, and making determinations that affect the health and well-being of the “family unit,” the business itself.Its “children,” the employees, have only to do what is asked of them and collect their “allowance” in the form of wages. They don’t get to decide how much they will be paid. They don’t have to deal with administration and taxes, profits or losses. And the success or failure of the business affects them only to the extent that they continue to have a job.When you make the decision to become a self-empl

Q. I live in a wonderful house in the Midwest. Recently a recruiter asked if I would consider a new job with a move to Southern California. The salary would be higher but the cost of living -- ouch! Should I go on the interview?A. Let's do the easy part first. I almost always recommend going on the interview. Of course, do not jeopardize your current job or current clients.But you have little to lose. Occasionally you will be considered for other jobs in the company. You may be able to negotiate a telecommute option. Your interviewer may know of other opportunities in more desirable locations.And now let's say you get a job offer for Los Angeles. You wonder if you can find a place to rent or buy. The only affordable homes seem to be 2 hours away from your job. What can you do?We're focusing here on finding a place to live, but the process works for other must-haves, too: access t

Mistake 1. You don't write a short eBook first to test the waters.
Short is in the eyes of the beholder, but let's say from 15-90 pages. Your future customers will be glad to download these pages and print only the ones they need to.
Your eBook needs to be more concise, easy-to-read, and compelling than your print book. That means you can shorten your analogies and stories. You can use a "success format" that poses a question (a heading) your reader wants answered, then answer it.

I was in Las Vegas last week and must share a great sales lesson. Since I don't gamble, we went there for the food and entertainment. It was a great getaway and a wonderful break from sales automation.Part of the reason for going to Las Vegas was to visit a hotel timeshare and learn about their program offering. Believe it or not, I like going to these things to learn something about timeshares and what is new. We bought our first timeshare about 18 years ago and now have 4 timeshare weeks.Offer Number One!We got to know the agent, John, and learned about him, what he did and he took an interest in us. He asked some great questions about how we like to vacation and travel. The first lesson I was learning was the importance of developing rapport and asking good questions. After learning enough about us, he made a pitch for his property and what the offer was. It was a go

Making the decision to sell your company is a tough one. However, when you decide to do so, make sure it’s a priority in your life. A common mistake is when a seller starts the marketing process and it’s not a priority, it’s becomes obvious to buyers. Unlike a residential real estate transaction, there are only a limited number of buyers for any business. If a buyer walks, many times they will not come back.Information Gathering:In my opinion, this is by far the most important aspect to increasing the probability of selling your company for the greatest amount and for the best terms. It is important to remember, if a buyer has cash and is in an acquisition mode, they will find a company to buy whether it is yours or not. Be prepared to present the buyer with all company information in a timely, organized and professional manner. The longer you take to present requested information, the

At 8.30 am a wealthy client (on his way to make a presentation to the local council at 9 am) walked into a store that sells photocopiers. They also provide a copy service. He wanted to make a back-up copy of his lengthy presentation.The shop appeared to be open - doors unlocked, lights on, etc but the young lady who met him said she couldn't do photocopies until 9 am because that's when the copy centre opened for business.He went two doors down the road to the Council Library and did them himself at 10 cents per page, spending $11.00.Guess where he won't look for his next copier?Two men walked into a bakery / coffee shop at 4.45 pm and asked for two coffees and two slices of cake. They were told they could only have the cake to take-away as the shop closed at 5 and coffee took too long to make and drink.They left.The point is that the two men were local council alde
Yes, it's good to get feedback from peers, but you need to get a professional look at the final edition--someone who can set you straight about words and grammar that makes your writing vital and original. For instance, you need to drop your passive constructions such as "there is" or any form of "is, has, begin or start". Limit the -ly adverbs that merely tell rather than show. Your readers want a picture and want to respond with their emotions. Limit your -ing forms of the verbs. Keep your copy in present or past tense.
Mistake 3. You don't know your audience before you write your eBook.
Emerging authors make this biggest mistake. They have information, so why not write an eBook? Instead think about the audience you will serve. More targeted works well. People who want something quick and easy that will save them time and money--another audience. The best one so far in the untapped Internet or Online audience. Mostly small business people, they are eager to buy what they need to make their life or business more enjoyable, profitable, and easy.
Right now, think of your one or two preferred audiences, and keep their profile of their needs, complaints, or problems as well as their picture by your workstation. Then you will write the book your pre-sold audience already wants!
Mistake 4. You don't automate your business .
As a newbie or non-techie, at first you may resist learning how to do this. Three years ago I knew nothing about the net, and
