Like marketing, self-publishing is the subject of entire books, and there are many available on the subject. Check the resources section of your local bookstore, search for “self-publishing” in your favorite search engine or Amazon, or go to your local library. If you plan to go this route, spend some time learning about it. What follows are the absolutes basics of what you need to know, do, or have a as a self-publisher: Start with a great title and subtitle. You’re going to need it every step of the way. This is harder than it sounds, and it’s important enough to hire an expert to guide you. There are two kinds of writers, in my opinion. One can turn a title into a book, and the other can capture the essence of a book in a few pithy words. You need the latter. Have your book cover designed by a graphic designer who specializes in books. Go to your favorite bookstore and look at book covers. What grabs your attention? What turns you off? What is boring? What feels good in your hand? Share your impressions with your book designer. Write a marketing plan. It is never too early and you can always add to it as you go along. In its simplest form, a marketing plan starts with an overall goal for what you want to accomplish, strategies for how you plan to do it, and specific tactics or actions you plan to take, with target dates and estimated cost. There are many book-marketing sites on the World Wide Web; my personal favorites are the Book Marketing section at WebsiteMarketingPlan, AuthorSmart, and BuildBookBuzz. Create a promotional piece or brochure. Here is one time you will be grateful for the time you put into drafting your proposal because you will have all the information you need at your fingertips. Put together a mailing list. You should already have one, but this is the time to prune it and add to it. A solid mailing list is a must have for authors. Develop a website for your book. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, but it should entice and inform. Add to it as you are further along in the process. Hire an expert (usually expensive) or try your hand at doing it yourself. These programs all received top reviews from consumer search: DreamWeaver, CoffeeCup 2006 for windows, Homestead SiteBuilder, WordPress, and Nvu. Create a blog to keep people informed of your progress. There are a host of blog sites to choose from that make it fairly easy to set up your own blog and customize it with your message. Here are a few: WordPress, Blogspot, and blo.gs owned by Yahoo. Choose a name for your publishing company (you may have to file a fictitious name statement). Expert Dan Poynter suggests that having a book written, published, and distributed by the author detracts from the book’s credibility. Download or send for copyright forms; file them with U.S Copyright Office. Even though your work is automatically copyrighted when you write it, this is an added protection. Check into the need for local business licenses; apply for them if necessary. Secure an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) from R. R. Bowker. Unfortunately, you can’t purchase only one ISBN; you have to buy them in blocks of 10. But if you plan to write more than one book or develop spin-off products for your present book, this is an advantage. Some printers provide ISBNs, but be sure it is in your name, not the printer’s, so that you will be the publisher of record. Along with the ISBN, you will need an EAN bar code. Consider applying for an LOC (Library of Congress) number before your book is published. The publisher (perhaps you) will add this information to the copyright page at publication. The advantage: This makes it easier for libraries and book dealers to process your book. The disadvantage: Self-published are not eligible. Have your manuscript edited and copy edited (remember, they are not the same thing). When your book is complete, send it out for review to peer reviewers. Take their critiques to heart and make changes. Request testimonials to include in the book, on the cover, and in your promotional materials. Get competitive quotes from printers (be sure they are all bidding on the same specs), and choose the one that best meets your needs, including but not limited to price. Decide how you want to handle storage and distribution. You can do both if you have room and time, but choosing a professional distributor and fulfillment house is well worth the money if you can afford. - Send out review copies of galleys (don’t send a printed book) to appropriate publications and reviewers - Go over the printed books with a fine toothcomb for appearance, quality, pages, printing - in short everything. Don’t settle for less than perfect. - Do a promotional mailing. This is when all your hard work on your brochure and mailing list pay off. - Write articles on your subject; submit to print publications and online article sites. There are countless such sites, but the undisputed leader of the pack is EzineArticles. - Think of book promotion as an ongoing, full-time job. The more you do, the more successful your book will be. - Consider fresh ways to repackage your contents; develop “spin-off” products (CDs, DVDs, reports, mini-books, eBooks, website content). There is little doubt that being your own publisher is a big job but one that brings creative autonomy, satisfaction and profits. Before you tackle it, be very sure you can afford the time, effort, and money. If so, go for it. Bobbi Linkemer is a ghostwriter, writing coach, and editor. She is also the author of 14 books.

Be the Employee of the Month Everyday! In the first year of the Obama administration the economy is still in a slump. More than at any other time, employees worry about their jobs as the pool of applicants and mendicants grow larger-all begging for employment. With this preamble it only stands to reason that those who are employed should do their best to retain their jobs. “Easier said than done, my friend,” some might say. But take these good words from me, a humble servant who was never laid off, let go, fired, or otherwise unemployed in more than 40 years in business. Retention is the name of the game! So what are the factors that will impress your boss, to the point of never wanting to get rid of you? Follow these few simple steps and you’ll enjoy security, peace of mind, and restful sleep at night. 1. Don’t be a clock watcher Ah! Always be the first one to come in and the last one to leave. Volunteer for the tasks that require a little overlapping with theater hours. Those employees who have tickets for concerts, Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall, movies, dinners, and other amenities will rather take a demerit than cancel and stay late. That you stay and ’sacrifice’ your time will not go unnoticed by your boss. Occasional weekend duties will also be noticed. So, while others enjoy their time off, you are enjoying a sense of job security; not to say absolute peace of mind and good sleep. One caveat, however, is in order: don’t overdo it. 2. Never bad-mouth your boss Whether you and your co-workers are at the local water hole relaxing, downing a few libations, or even sharing a rest-room chat, never let your guard down and join the chorus in criticizing the boss. Let others do it. Inevitably, gossip, innuendo, and malicious rumors about the boss have a way of its way into the victim’s ears. Even what seem to be harmless comments can be distorted by others. If someone says, “Hm–yes, she has heavy legs, but at bottom she has a decent figure,” can reach the bosses’ ears as, “Hm-yes, she has a heavy bottom and indecent legs.” Or, maybe even a worse unintended insult. Steer clear of criticism. And don’t ever put the boss on the spot with pointed questions. Also, remember that technology -besides being a great friend- can be a formidable beastly enemy that can bite and extract a pound of flesh. E-mail, messages in Facebook, Twitter, or other social networks can become evidentiary trails. 3. Request a meeting with the boss every so often In general, good bosses will classify subordinates as those who earn and deserve their time, those who take their time, and those who really waste their time. Be a stellar employee by earning and deserving the boss’s time! Let the boss know your progress in the tasks assigned, reporting your successes as well as failures and blunders; and in the latter cases, ask for guidance. Don’t let the boss ignore you for long periods of time. A good supervisor will be glad to mentor, train, develop and pass on wisdom to good subordinates. 4. Stick to the truth and the honorable Employees who lie and act dishonorably will in the end defeat themselves. The old adage, the truth shall prevail, is a repository of wisdom. 5. Wear the aura of competency While it is a good habit to over-consult rather than to under-consult with your boss, you must show that you have exhausted all the possible resources available to your rank and grade. Bosses like that subordinates who are thorough and do their ‘homework’ and research. Save your notes so that you can refer to them when discussing your research and efforts. Remember, if you give 100 percent of yourself you’ll be noticed as an employee who goes the distance. Be a self-starter. Don’t wait for direction. And in the process make sure you fit in with the rest of the team; make sure that you harmonize. There’s a delicate balance between being an individualist and a team player: try to find a comfort zone between the two. Your wholesome performance and your team-player attitude will give you the aura of competency that many employees don’t even suspect it exists. This is what makes an employee likeable, indispensable, and above all-a survivor. Conclusion Why win the title ‘employee of the month’ only once when you can win it every day? Wear the aura of competency to distinguish yourself from all others. In the end, ‘retention’ is the name of the game in these tough times. Retired.

By far, the biggest concern of any writer (published or unpublished) is being able to increase book sales. Yes we all love writing and yearn for the thrill and fulfillment that comes with actually having our books on the shelves of Barnes and Noble and the likes, but let’s be honest, we want our books to sell, sell and sell some more; as do our agents, our editors and our publishers. After all, why did they take us on as clients if it weren’t in hopes of being able to sell our titles? Are they not in the publishing industry as business professionals? Yes they are. This is a concept all authors need to grasp and accept. Writing, publishing and selling books is a business, a serious business. If you want to be successful, you need to understand that it is your business and no one will care about your book sales as much as you do. So let’s focus on the ever challenging task of increasing book sales.

An important part of book marketing is to know which techniques work for you and to multiply those efforts. Here are two suggestions for each list to get you started. Online Book Marketing • Create a Fan Page on Facebook (this is a great online viral marketing tool). It’s popular because it works. • Create a Flickr.com profile and add pictures that would attract your targeted audience. Be sure to include your author website URL in your profile so viewers can find you. Offline Book Marketing • P.O.S

What is your personnel opinion regarding the book? The Conclusion The conclusion is the ending part of your book report writing project.
