Casual Articles - So You Wrote an E-book... Now What?
According to the shamanic traditions, the great mystery of being is that all things are alive and have a level of intelligence. This is because all things are a part of the Great Spirit. However, all things also function individually, in thought and action. It is in these individual actions that karma is born. Karmic laws also state that all karma, both good and bad, must also return home...return to sender!Most of us don't have a good grasp of group karma. Simply stated, if you agree to be a member of a group situation, you are also agreeing to it's collective karmic pattern of return. So sooner or later problems at work, in your business or corporate stru

Another tip is to visit any of the websites that house free software and submit your book to them. Most include e-books, since they are .exe files. Do a search and you'll find these sites by the thousands. There is free software that can submit your e-book to 50 sites in one shot: Go to http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/program/ssubmit.htm and download "Soft Submit" which will upload your book to 50 sites at once.
Don't forget about including the download URL in your signature file. You are using one, right? I thought so. You could always write a press release about your e-book and e-mail it to the media. Discussion boards are another great outlet but don't pos
You’re a professional – either a doctor, or a dentist, or an artist. Maybe you’re an independent sales person who works on commission, or a speaker who must sell yourself. You might even be a B-C business whose product depends on a product or service you’ve developed.You’ve been trained well; you went to a professional school, or positioned yourself as an expert, and you’re very good at what you do. And now you’ve gone into business to give others the opportunity to pay you to do what you do best.You rent space, hire staff, take out a loan – possibly a very large loan – to populate your office with the best: technology, staff, ambiance. And a few of
Some e-books are sold where as others are given away freely. Those who download free e-books are encouraged to give them away to their friends or business associates. The "give away" part is what makes e-books such a powerful marketing tool. Also known as viral marketing, when done right your book can be passed around to thousands of people all over the world.
For this reason it is my opinion that e-books work best when there is no charge involved. Think about it: Who doesn't like getting something for free? So if you've been thinking of jumping on the "e-book bandwagon" my advice is to give it away and let it do what it does best: Generate traffic to your website.
Once your book is written, it has to get out into the mainstream of the Internet. You need to heavily market and promote the book yourself to get the ball rolling so it can do its magic. This is where a lot of folks get stumped.
I have written two e-books myself, so I've done a lot of research and have found out what works and what doesn't. If you have included any other websites in the book, your first step is to contact their owners and let them know about it. Also, tell them it would be great if they offer the book from their site or mention it in their newsletter. Most will be happy to comply; since their names are in the book, they benefit from promoting it as well.
If you have sold banner ads in the e-book (which is a great idea), make sure you supply your advertisers with text link ads and/or graphics they can use to help get the word out. Your job is to make it as easy as possible for them "to pass the word." This is viral marketing at its finest.
Your next step should be to add a page on your site where visitors can download the book. If you have any graphic skills at all, whip up a book cover to add along with a description that stresses the benefits they'll receive from reading it. If the book's content is good (and it should for all of this to work right!), you will soon receive feedback in the form of compliments. Make sure you put them on this page as well. Testimonials are very powerful.
If you publish an ezine you can use the book as a bonus for your subscribers.
There are many other ways to promote your new book. Contact ezine publishers that you think would be interested in your subject matter and send them an e-mail stating how nice it would be if they mentioned it to their readers. Most publishers are always looking for content and will be happy to help out.
Some websites do e-book reviews and then publish them online or in their newsletters. Here are a few to get you started:

Powerful relationships are the key to effective work environments, and goal attainment. Powerful, healthy relationships are the pulse behind any great endeavor and achievement. It must never be forgotten that every organizational structure, flow chart and arrangement ever conceived, merely represented the relationships which formed these structures. It is said that genius is often found in that which is simple. What can be more simple than treating your people as partners in the creation of business success.Valuing the contributions of associates is expressed through the following behaviors:1.

An auction is a sale that offers items up for bid. The items can be anything from valuable art, house estates, sports items, etc. A person or business puts an item(s) up for auction, and the person or company who bids the highest amount of money, wins the item(s).There are various types of auctions including the English auction where participants bid openly against one another. The winnter is the person who ends with the highest bid. The Dutch auction opens with an auctioneer asking for a high price and lowering the price until a bidder accepts the price or a predetermined minimum amount is reached. A Sealed First-Price auction allows bidders to submit bids
