  • Online Book Publishing: Boost Your Sales With Online Publishing - This is the first in my series of articles that explain the Online Publishing Model and how small-time authors and/or self-publishers can use the OPM as a viable alternative to the often archaic and dysfunctional traditional book publishing model.

  • Hassle-Free Barcodes For Authors - When it comes to book publishing, there are many things to think about. The content, which is most important, is on the forefront of most writers minds. Next, the layout, front cover design and back cover synopsis will take precedent. For many writers, especially those new to the scene, finding a book publisher can be a daunting task. This is why self-publishing is the chosen route for many budding authors who are serious about getting their books into print. Even with all of the determination in the world, the perfect layout and subject matter, one problem remains.
  • The Question of Online Credibility - Credibility online is becoming more and more of an issue. Anyone can have a blog or post to a forum and anyone can edit wiki entries. Web surfers are beginning to comprehend that just because it is in print does not necessarily mean that it is true. In fact, in today's online world, the collective truth might be the closest thing we can get to the real truth. Peer policing and social bookmarking have become common in the online world. Human nature invariably prompts a level of trust;if it is written, it must be true. We live in a generation where we expect authors, editors and publishers that are qualified to write on various topics. What qualifications are required to post a blog, write an online article, or edit a wiki? Some web surfers may find the answer startling: None.
  • Adsense And Yahoo: Their Fight For Advertising Supremacy Is Going On! - Two of the biggest names in the Internet are Yahoo and Google. Its no longer surprising that competition will exist between these two giants. When Google launched its adsense campaign it started dominating the Internet but of course Yahoo will not just let this pass without creating one of their own. If Google has Adsense, Yahoo on its part has created the Yahoo Publisher. But comparing the overall design of the two programs we will see that they are somewhat similar in some respects. To better understand the two programs it would be best that we discuss them separately. Google's Adsense Let us start with the infamous Adsense Program.

  • Secret Tips and Tricks on AdSense - Google AdSense is an advertising program created by search engine Google for the owners of websites that are offered to place relevant or key - word targeted ads on their websites' pages.

  • How To Keep Your Articles From Being Deleted From Article Directories - Articles are a great way to get added exposure to your website and business, and also a great way to increase your status as an expert in your field. Because of this fact, article writing and article submissions have skyrocketed. It is still an effective form of advertising, but you must be careful not to do things that will waste your time and effort.
  • On Fiction Writing - Convincing Characterization - About 20 years ago, I inherited an antique piece of furniture when my grandmother passed away. None of my relatives wanted that old piece of junk. Surprisingly, I could see past the glossy white paint that obscured a valuable armoire/dresser combination in a turn of the century waterfall pattern. After two weeks of paint remover, scrapers, steel wool and sandpaper, I finally had revived the white mountain ash armoire. I had stripped off a layer of thick enamel white paint, a layer of gooey mint green paint and then thick oily varnish that concealed a dark stain of lampblack.
  • Critical Aspects Of A Good Press Release - Distributing a press release to editors and news organizations is only half the battle. Writing a press release that will be published by the media is equally important. Press releases are public relations opportunities.
  • Getting the Most Out of Your Copyeditor: The Style Sheet- Part Two - A style sheet's purpose is to give the copyeditor information on unique features of a book's manuscript. In part one of our article on this topic we covered problems in editing a book without a style sheet and how to prepare a style sheet. We specifically addressed how abbreviations and numbers and dates sections are applied.
  • Getting the Most Out of Your Copyeditor: The Style Sheet- Part One - A style sheet's purpose is to give the copyeditor information on unique features of a book's manuscript. On the surface, the book may be well edited, but still requires a style sheet. Many Publishers uses a standard form, with the categories Abbreviations; Numbers and Dates; Punctuation; and Capitalization, Hyphenation, Spelling, and Italics; for its style sheet. When there is no style sheet, however, if the issue is small and the Chicago Manual of Style rules clear, I can usually resolve the issue myself. When the issue is as large as an unorthodox and potentially confusing way of treating dialogue, however, I need input before I can alter it. Copyeditors want to give editors and authors what they want.
  • The Easiest Way to Become an Internet Article Writer - All speakers and writers who become great speakers and writers have two needs. To be a great speaker you need to have: 1) a real and valuable knowledge of the subject you are addressing, and 2) a burning desire to share what you have to offer with others.
  • Immortalize The Voice Of A Loved One. Hire A Ghostwriter - Imagine you've inherited the rights to a screenplay. You wouldn't be alone. In fact, it's trending -- understandable since forty thousand plus screenplays were written per year for the last twenty-five years. It was only a matter of time before they were resuscitated as last bequeaths. Your imaginary benefactor's eulogy glorified the dedication, the passion and the sacrifice with which words were capture to the page. Words, which in a unique style, voiced muses, meanderings and observations on life. Words which were this aspiring playwright's most valued possession. Words which, for whatever reason, you now own! Every writer has experienced the curse of an untold story. Haunted by one's own ideas is aggravating enough.
  • Site Monetization and You! - The internet has some downsides as well as upsides to it. Speaking of upsides, if you are a writer then you know that submitting articles to various article directories is a great [and free] way to get your name out there. Compared to paying for advertising, article writing - especially of the quality kind - can help you get noticed. Getting noticed can translate into you selling your products, your services, market your writing skills, etc. If you don't yet have a web site, then you really need to get one. If you don't want to put up with all of the hassles of managing a site, i.e., paying for web hosting, securing a domain name, making changes to the site, etc. then consider getting a blog and setting it up like a site.
  • Strengthen Your Website Content With Online Database Access - Website content, as articles, has taken center stage as web publishers scramble to differentiate their online offers. As both the quantity and quality of articles have accelerated, so too have online directories. These directories often resemble mere lists, but they can be powerful content additions that serve to deepen the value of the overall selling proposition by helping users in locating critical, related resources that for the visitor is otherwise much too time consuming. On today's websites, it is not uncommon to find online databases designed to provide the data-hungry website visitor with more comprehensive database management functions which are far superior to list-style directories. At a minimum, we find web-driven data pages that include search and display functions which facilitate quick and easy manipulation of back-end SQL databases.
  • Consistent Writing Means Consistent Results - I had an engaging conversation recently with a friend who writes for a living as I do. One question that came up from my friend to me was, "How do you write so often and so well?" Naturally, I appreciated his question and considered it to be a compliment. Goodness knows there have been times after I wrapped up a project that I wasn't too confident about what I had written. But, that wasn't his question.
  • Ripping Apart An Existing Article - Occasionally, I get a request from a client to take their existing articles and rewrite each one with a fresh "voice" or style. I usually look at these types of projects with a bit of suspicion, as I wonder if the articles are owned by the client or swiped from someone else. I only proceed if I am confident that the articles are, indeed, the intellectual property of the person possessing them. Once I get the articles in hand, I look over each one carefully to see what must be done to whip them into shape.
  • Article Writing and Clients: When Things Do Not Work Out - In each of my business relationships, I expect that mutual respect and trust be essential ingredients in my association with the other individual. If one or both traits do not exist, then the relationship shouldn't proceed any further. So, what do you do when you have an uncomfortable or odd feeling about working for someone, but you can't put your finger on it?
