HOW TO KEEP YOUR BOOK IN FRONT OF THE WORLD 24 HOURS A DAY AND MAKE MILLIONS!
By
Arthur Zulu
If you thought that writing and publishing are difficult things to do, then you are dead wrong! The fact is that both are the simplest things as far as the world of books is concerned. There is something that is harder than putting your thoughts on paper, and getting published. And what is it? you may like to ask.
It is promotion -- getting the over 6 billion people out there to know that you have arrived. Ask any publisher writer. It’s a Sisyphian task!
Let’s consider one. When Edward Fitzgerald wrote ”The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam” he may never have known that he would sell millions. Now, he did not place the book in front of the world 24 hours a day, but kept 100 copies in the window of a local bookstore. Then what happened?
It caught the attention of the poet and painter, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who after reading it, bought all copies of the book, and gave them to his friends. And so started the incredible success story of the “The Rubaiyat”.
Well, fitzgerald was “lucky”. Because some published writers have given up writing as a result of poor sales, while others are still struggling to recover their publishing costs. Bad news.
But your window to glory is not the local bookstore. It is the Internet.
I am not, however, talking about other promotional techniques like link exchanges, Ezine ad swaps, subscription exchanges, or Ezine column swaps.
Neither am I talking about byline exchanges, signature exchanges, e-book exchanges, or private web rings. I do not also mean ride alongs, upsells, free bonuses, nor forum and list moderation.
So what am I talking about? It is Newswire.
This promotional method has succeeded in placing books in the best-seller pages of newspapers, and gotten writers before TV talk shows.
So, that best-selling book on the pages of The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, or The Washington Post may not even be better than your poetry piece or essay collection. It was made through promotion.
Now, what’s Newswire? Let’s see how it works.
1.You write and forward your press release to the over 600 websites and databases worldwide.
2.A reader or researcher in search of a topic that is covered in your book, visits one of the websites where your press release has already been archived.
3.Since the subject of his search matches the topic or theme of your book, the search engine turns up your press release.
4.Using the information provided in your press release, he visits your website and downloads your book.
5.If he is a reporter, he quotes your book in his publication, thus giving you wonderful exposure.
6.Your address on the press release is used to contact you for book deals, interviews, and talk shows, thus firing up your fame and fortune.
And come to think of the over 150 million Internet Users
(just to begin with), clicking away and downloading your best-seller, and mailing you to know how you did the trick. The magic is in the net!
Why not call your publisher or computer manager right now, and for a few bucks, he will place your book on the window by purchasing the Newswire for you; and archive your book ETERNALLY in front of the world 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 28 days a month, and 365 days a year.
And then your book will make it to the best-seller lists of the world’s most prestigious newspapers.
And you, the now celebrated writer, will end up in a popular American TV Talk show.
Or find yourself appending your signature on a million dollar contract document in Hollywood, the entertainment capital of the world.
And just in case you do not know how to spend your millions, I recommend you to buy a yacht and go sail in the Mediterranean. Or jump into the next space ship and become the first writer to travel to the final frontier.
Or better still; buy a country home, and write your magnum opus, titled: “How I Made My Millions.”
And live happily ever after . . .

- 2). It’s Good To Be A New Writer: Breaking The Myth That Experience Is Everything By : Shelley Wake
There’s a rumor out there in the publishing world that an editor won’t even look at the work of a new writer. It might be true for certain types of writing, but after interviewing hundreds of editors, I’ve found that most are more open to new writers than you might think.
And there are a few major benefits to being a new writer too. So before you spend too much time trying to work out how you can appear to be a published professional writer when you’re not, consider taking advantage of your current position as a newcomer.

- 4). A Few Magazine Publishing Terms By : Scott Lindsay
The business of writing for magazines is often speculative in nature. It can often seem fruitless to conduct research on available paying magazines, attempt to understand their style and unique requirements, write the article, send the article, and then wait for what can seem a never ending response.
It can be even more daunting when you have invested significant time and energy and have received multiple rejection slips.

- 5). The Psychology Of Effortless Writing By : Saleem Rana
Through writing I can convey my entire experience so that someone else can benefit from it and learn from that experience without having had to be there. So, by writing I can give others much more than I can in person. In addition, writing bends time and I can convey my experience to someone centuries away.

- 6). Tricky Decisions By : Kael
Some people know exactly what to look for at the bookstore – others spend hours without finding what they have in mind…
Did you ever mistake the body lotion tube for the toothpaste a sleepy morning? No? Good, it’s not the best way to start the day.
This might be an awkward approach if you're aiming at the problem of choosing literature, but frankly, haven’t you too picked the ‘wrong’ book by a random grab at the bookshop or at the library? The book you put away with a sigh after three chapters.

- 4). How to Proofread Like a Professional By : Jaya Schillinger
Copyright 2006 Jaya Schillinger
Even as I wrote the title for this article, I got confused. Is "proofread" one word or two? I thought it was two, and my spell checker didn't have a problem with that, but when I double-checked myself with a popular on- line dictionary, I was able to catch my mistake. Proofread is in fact one word, "proof·read v. tr.

- 5). Benefit We Gain from Problem Solving By : Carol Miller
The real fact on this Earth is that no human being has ever lived without problems a single day. This is impossible. People deal wit problems every day and problems do not fade away by themselves, they stay until the person resolves them.

- 7). Storylines Crop Up at the Oddest Moments By : chicho
There I was on a restful weekend by the sea; enjoying coffee and croissant in a quaint little café at the end of the North Shore pier.
Looking outside through a musty rain smattered window my gaze was attracted to the contours of the magnificent edifice that is Blackpool Tower; drinking in the lines of the intricate steel framework that leads to the observation deck, to the twin platforms one above the other, and all the way up to the crow’s nest.

- 8). Choose Great Research Topics By : Denton Krypps
Doing research and writing research papers does not actually have to be as horrible as everyone makes it out to be. I have learned to enjoy the process of research from start to finish. Call me crazy if you will, but I guarentee that the future of your educational career can be much more enjoyable if you learn now to enjoy research. For me, enjoying it started with choosing the right research topics.

- 9). The Perils And Pitfalls Of Publishing: Who Can An Author Trust? By : Dee Power And Brian Hill
One out of every eight people call themselves a writer, which means there are roughly 24 million people in the United States who carry that banner. Unfortunately there are charlatans and scam artists just waiting to ambush the unsuspecting author. How can a novice writer protect themselves?
Anyone can call themselves a publisher. Always remember money flows towards the author from the publisher, not the other way round.

- 10). Jokes and Riddles - How To Write Them By : Steve Gillman
Just listening to or reading jokes and riddles may "wake up" your brain, but it is creating them that really exercises your brainpower. The process requires you to use both logical and lateral thinking skills. How do you do it, then?
Jokes and riddle don't come to mind randomly. In fact, after watching how many comedians create their routines, I am convinced that they use what I call "humor algorithms," even if they do so unconsciously.
