Advanced Book Marketing
A publisher's secret for selling more books...
EJ Thornton
ISBN: 0-9820838-6-6

If you are not yet well-known and no one knows the title of your book - then your future customers aren't searching for you on the internet.

How do you get them to discover your book? It's easy. The concept is called Associative Marketing and publishers have been using it since time began to sell books. As an author, you also need to tap into the system so that you can significantly increase your book sales on the internet. It is explained in great detail in the book Advanced Book Marketing.

It's not a matter of getting them to notice you and your book, it's putting your book where your customers are already searching for answers, and everyone wins...

All of us have moments in our lives
that test our courage.
Taking children into a house
with a white carpet is one of them.

Car designers are just going to have to come up
with an automobile that outlasts the payments.

How come anything you buy
will go on sale next week?

If you've ever been bullied,
then help us share: "The POWER of ONE!"

After his parents lose everything - their jobs in the factory, their beautiful country home with the white picket fence, and their dreams, Bobby's family is forced to leave all their family and friends behind. They move into the city with high hopes of finding jobs and starting over.

But for Bobby, the struggle is about acceptance, not only from his new friends, but of his new circumstances. He must reach inside himself to find the inner strength necessary to make new friends, live in poverty and stand up to the big, red-haired bully.

"Wrong is wrong, no matter how many people do it. We must stand up for what is right. It only takes one person to speak out for what is right - the power of one! ~Bobby

Find out why he says this and how we can end bullying in our schools!
Great classroom read-along book!

Writer's Summit Tip #13:

Get a style book. Keep it by your computer when you write. If you have any grammatical question, the answer is in there! Editors use it to check themselves when editing books. For complicated questions like punctuation around parentheses, these books have the answers you need.

There are two style books that most editors use: one is relatively inexpensive, and that is "Elements of Style" by Strunk and White. This one costs around $10.

The other is "The Chicago Manual of Style" and it costs about $50. It is available used on amazon.com all the time.

Buy one or the other and keep it by your side while you're writing. You'll find that when you go to have your work edited, you'll be more confident and if your work is cleaner, your edit expense will be less.

A Style Book is a good investment!

There's an old saying that,
'The one who dies with the most toys - wins!'
But we'd like to replace that common place saying
with one that makes A LOT more sense,
'The one that gets financially free first - wins!'

It's time to start talking about
'living the free life!'

Foreword of Sex in the Golden Years
by Othniel J. Seiden, MD & Jane L. Bilett, Ph.D.

The baby boomers are finally at the door step of becoming old timers and that brings with it lots of concerns, not the least of which is, "Am I over the hill sexually?" We think back on how we viewed our parents in fact our grand parents - when we were youngsters, teens, young couples and thought, "Could those old people still be doing it?" What's worse, we probably thought, "They couldn't be... what a gross thought!"

You bet they were, and in most cases they still are - doing it more than you'd ever have guessed. Furthermore, there isn't anything gross about it!

The fact is that the human animal is normally sexually active to the day it dies. Note we said normally. That is a very significant word. It means that if you are not sexually active it is not the norm.

Up until a few years ago, most of us thought it normal for sex to become less and less important after the age of 50 or 60. That's because no one asked the people who were over the ages of 50 or 60. But now that more people are living to be 70, 80, 90, and 100, we are starting to notice and ask. Research with the elderly shows quite clearly that sex is as important as ever; and quite frequently and happily more fun than ever. We should all be delighted to find that out because it gives us
lots to look forward to.

It also means that if you are not keeping up with the good old Jones's you should be checking it out.
Remember, the norm is that you should be getting it and enjoying it for a long time to come, and if you aren't, you should be questioning why not. In the great majority of cases what ever is stopping you can be remedied.

Sex in the Golden Years - the practice - is great and you should be staying sexually active for the rest of your life!

Sex in the Golden Years - the book - has the purpose of dispeling lots of the old myths and help us continue to be active and happy participants in nature's greatest gift.

Like our grandmother used to say; "If the good Lord didn't want us to do it, He wouldn't have made it feel so good!"

Before success comes in any man's life,
he's sure to meet with much temporary defeat and,
perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes
a man, the easiest and the most
logical thing to do is to quit. That's
exactly what the majority of men do.

Big pay and little responsibility are
circumstances seldom found together.

I haven't trusted polls since I read that 62%
of women had affairs during their lunch hour.
I've never met a woman in my life who would
give up lunch for sex.

Everytime I leaf through a copy of National Geographic
I realize how lucky we are to live in a
society where it is traditional to wear clothes.

I take a very practical view of raising children.
I put a sign in each of their rooms:
"Checkout Time is 18 years."

Passive Income is not time dependent. Passive Income works for you, not the other way around. Passive Income will require some activity and attention, but the time involved will be minimal compared to the returns.

You get to determine how much time and when you spend it.

True Passive Income is something that you can walk away from and it still pays you. Passive income has the ability to multiply, without limit, the use of your time, effort and energy.

All that we are is the result
of what we have thought.

If a man speaks or acts with
an evil thought, pain follows him.

If a man speaks or acts with
a pure thought, happiness follows him,
like a shadow that never leaves him.
