<p>When you&#8217;re writing your book, it&#8217;s important to give the reader a compelling reason to come to your website. Saying &#8220;visit my website for more information&#8221; with a link just won&#8217;t cut it. Everyone&#8217;s too busy to visit without a goal.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/HowToWriteABook-graphic.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-43229" title="How To Write a Book image" src="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/HowToWriteABook-graphic.jpg" alt="" width="298" height="158" /></a>Offering bonuses is a great way to get readers to your site AND gain permission to keep communicating with them. They get valuable resources. You get their name and email address along with permission to let them know about your other products, services, book signings, workshops, etc.</p>
<p>Everything you do should make book marketing and promotion easier and more effective for you. Useful gifts do that easily.</p>
<h2><strong>Create Book Bonuses Fast</strong></h2>
<p>The idea of offering book bonuses sounds easy enough, but you may be wondering how to make great gifts that readers will CRAVE&#8230; without making you drop everything for a month to create.</p>
<p>The bonus needs to have a high perceived value. It can&#8217;t just be a chapter of an upcoming book. Ho-hum!</p>
<p>It shouldn&#8217;t be something that takes you long to create. You have a busy schedule, after all!</p>
<p>And it needn&#8217;t be something that takes the reader a long time to read or act upon.</p>
<p>If that sounds like a tall order, it&#8217;s not. You can easily create 1 or more of these useful tools in just a few minutes.</p>
<p>Here are 4 EFFORTLESS ways to create a valuable bonus that your reader will truly crave. Even a novelist can use these strategies to give people a reason to opt in for your bonus.</p>
<p><strong>Easy Bonus #1: Create a Checklist</strong></p>
<p>The checklist could be a list of steps, a calendar, or a list of items.</p>
<p>If your book lays out steps to complete, the bonus could be a simple list of each step. Add a little more value by adding a line where the reader can check when they&#8217;ve completed each one.</p>
<p>It might be a checklist of the things to do, buy or remember. If your book guides the reader through craft projects, for example, provide supply lists needed for each so the reader can acquire all the tools and supplies at once.</p>
<p>If your book mentions particular foods, landmarks, collectibles, or the like, provide a listing of all the mentioned items or places.</p>
<p>Since you as the author are obviously well-versed in your subject, putting together a good checklist will only take a few minutes, yet it is extremely valuable to your readers.</p>
<p><strong>Easy Bonus #2: Create a Template, Pattern or Recipe</strong></p>
<p>Having a trail of breadcrumbs to follow makes any task easier, doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Consider what kind of template or pattern you might offer with your book. If your book mentions foods, provide the recipes. If your heroine is a decorator, offer a template she uses for her signature style of window dressing. If your book is about woodworking, provide the plans for a simple cabinet.</p>
<p>Again, this type of bonus is hugely valuable to the reader while taking you very little time to create.</p>
<p><strong>Easy Bonus #3: Write a Resource Guide</strong></p>
<p>Authors often dismiss providing a resource list as being of little value, arguing that those assets are available all over the internet.</p>
<p>Yes, but the reader has to hunt and dig for them if you don&#8217;t provide a list. Think of the hours you can save your reader, not to mention saving her from finding all the bad ones first!</p>
<p>One time I was at a conference, and an entire session was simply every participant taking turns offering their best resources. Attendance was high and everyone was furiously scribbling notes.</p>
<p>You as the expert can easily create a resource guide in a matter of minutes.</p>
<p><strong>Easy Bonus #4: Create a Quick Tutorial or Demo</strong></p>
<p>Anything that is better explained in a tutorial video or demo is perfect for this type of bonus. Let the reader watch you make the recipe, use the tool or do the project.</p>
<p>Never assume that your reader knows all the shortcuts and insider tips for doing what is effortless for you.</p>
<p>Here is a perfect example: Many people have a Gmail account, but most don&#8217;t know about things like automatically filtering incoming messages into folders, blocking addresses, or setting up an email signature.</p>
<p>You become the hero for showing your reader how to use a new tool or make the most of something she already has but doesn&#8217;t use to the fullest.</p>
<p>Using a free screen capture program such as CamStudio from <a href="http://www.CamStudio.org" rel="nofollow" target="_new">http://www.CamStudio.org</a>, it is easy to make a short tutorial video of any computer-based tool. Or using a cell phone, webcam or digital recorder, it is simple to make a demo video.</p>
<p>.<strong>Not Just for Books</strong></p>
<p>These 4 bonus ideas work well for information products as well as physical or digital books. Imagine a coaching program, workshop, or self-paced study program complete with a variety of checklists, templates and resource lists that are simple to create.</p>
<p><strong>Remember &#8211; Make the Reader Opt In</strong></p>
<p>Remember to make the reader complete an opt-in form in order to receive the bonuses you create. Don&#8217;t just put a link to your tools from your website. This is the best way to turn book bonuses into book marketing powerhouses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a target=_blank href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/glossary/?Term=Writing tips" title="Definition for Writing tips: Writing tips may take many forms but have the goal of helping you improve your writing." rel="glossary" class=""><a target=_blank href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/glossary/?Term=Writing tips" title="Definition for Writing tips: Writing tips may take many forms but have the goal of helping you improve your writing." rel="glossary" class="">Writing Tips</a></a>: Should I Be Mild  Or Opinionated?</strong></p>
<p><em>Do you think you should be mild or bold?</em></p>
<p>There&#8217;s this entrepreneur I have mentioned before, whom I call Natasha. You might have met someone like her.</p>
<p><a title="Writing Tips: Should I Be Mild or Opinionated?" href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/easywrite" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-43614" style="margin: 15px;" title="Writing Tips: Should I Be Mild or Opinionated?" src="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/opinion-253x300.jpg" alt="Writing Tips: Should I Be Mild or Opinionated?" width="253" height="300" /></a>I have a great respect for Natasha&#8217;s expertise. She is most definitely an expert in her field. She has strong opinions, and that is a good thing!</p>
<p><strong>Why Be Opinionated?</strong></p>
<p>Natasha is not afraid to give her opinion. Reading her <a target=_blank href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/glossary/?Term=Blogging" title="Definition for Blog: Blogging means using a blog (web log/diary/site just like this one) to write about a particular topic.

This could be sharing your thoughts, rants and opinions, business blogging, or raving about your favorite Hollywood star or ho" rel="glossary" class="">blog</a></a> posts, she comes across as knowledgeable and astute. Her writing is clear. When she teaches steps, she is easily understandable.</p>
<p>Being an opinionated expert is a GOOD thing!</p>
<p>Being opinionated shows that the expert has gumption and that something to say. She knows her stuff and thus can lead others to expand their horizons.</p>
<p>Without opinions, you&#8217;re not truly an expert.</p>
<p>Whether others agree with you is not important. Those who are examples of the ideal customer will resonate with the message. They will buy from you and tell their friends about you as well.</p>
<p>Think of it this way. Those who disagree with the way you approach your subject would never be a customer or client anyway.</p>
<p>But here&#8217;s an important consideration…</p>
<p><strong><em>Do You Show Up Differently in Writing VS in Person?</em></strong></p>
<p>Too often, an expert shows up (represents him or herself) one way in writing and very differently during a personal encounter.</p>
<p>Working online allows experts to expand their reach globally. Because of conference lines, webinars, Skype and other connection services, it is easier than ever to hear and see the expert instead of merely reading their words.</p>
<p>Talking to Natasha on a call brings a much different impression of her than reading her blog gives.</p>
<p>She comes across in a way that is haughty, as if she is a superior being suffering the company of idiots.</p>
<p><strong>Opinionated or Belittling?</strong></p>
<p>There is a difference between being an opinionated expert and belittling anyone who sees the world differently.</p>
<p>Hearing her talk, Natasha sounds as if she feels everyone else but her is an idiot who can scarcely breathe on their own.</p>
<p>Those smart ones who do as she says might one day be able to elevate themselves from subspecies status to barely sentient.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure that sounds harsh, yet that the way she comes across in my opinion. Dismissive. Not honoring their uniqueness and gifts.</p>
<p><strong><em>Are You Creating a Mismatch?</em></strong></p>
<p>Reading her articles made me think two different people had been talking. Expert Natasha and High-and-Mighty Natasha.</p>
<p>Remember that I first met her in person via a conference line. Later, I read her blog.</p>
<p>When I read several of her blog posts, I found them to be interesting. They did not sound like the condescending, dismissive  Natasha I had experienced.</p>
<p>I have tremendous respect for her knowledge and expertise. She definitely knows her stuff.</p>
<p>Imagine if you find someone interesting in writing and then hear them speak and experience them very differently from how they came across in writing.</p>
<p><em>How would you feel?</em></p>
<p>How you show up on a call or in a webinar needs to match what you write in your public works (blog posts, articles, and products).</p>
<p>Otherwise, you are misleading.</p>
<p><strong><em>Who Is The REAL You?</em></strong></p>
<p>Some people DO make a living out of crossing that line from opinionated expert to officious know-it-all.  Think of certain talk show hosts and political pundits.</p>
<p>There is room for this, too!</p>
<p>I am not saying it is bad to be officious if that is who you are. Be true to your nature. Only, if you cross that line, do it with full awareness and intention.</p>
<p>I personally do not want to do business with you if you are belittling, disrespectful and officious because that is not the experience I choose to have.</p>
<p>(I can whole-heartedly support someone&#8217;s right to express an opinion and yet not support them with my dollars!)</p>
<p>Let there be no surprises. When people read your words, let them come to know the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">real</span> you.</p>
<p><strong>Writing Tips for Being Authentically YOU</strong></p>
<p><strong>Here are 3 </strong><a href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/glossary" target="_blank"><strong>writing tips</strong></a><strong> to help you be authentically yourself in writing.</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>1. Step into your expert status before writing a word.</strong> You might find it easiest to truly be yourself if you TALK what you want to write instead of typing it. Be <span style="text-decoration: underline;">truly</span> yourself.</p>
<p>A tool such as <strong><a href="http://profitablestorytelling.com/copytalk" target="_blank">CopyTalk</a></strong> gives you a way to dictate anything, such as articles or blog posts in 4–minute chunks, and have it transcribed by real living humans and emailed to you.</p>
<p><strong>2. Definitively state your opinion</strong>. Be opinionated. Call it what it is from your perspective. You&#8217;ll cause the people who resonate with your approach to pay close attention.</p>
<p>Those who are not your ideal audience will leave you alone sooner or later.</p>
<p><strong>3. Be true to your nature. </strong> Be the same person in your writing you are when you deal with people directly.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a condescending person, do not hold that aspect of yourself back in your writing.</p>
<p>Those who appreciate that style will flock to you in droves! Those who do not appreciate your style will turn elsewhere. Win-win.</p>
<p><strong>My Opinion.</strong></p>
<p>Honor everyone&#8217;s right to their voice and their opinions, even if their ways are diametrically opposed to your own..</p>
<p>Be respectful of people&#8217;s differences. You need not agree or endorse their differences but merely allow and respect.</p>
<p>Give people the same freedom of self expression you yourself crave.</p>
<p>Understand that experience shapes behavior. Everyone is the way they are because of their life experience.</p>
<p>Recognize that every person alive (including the ones who do things that shock or offend you) is a <strong><a href="http://asktsl.com/gift" target="_blank">gift to the world</a></strong>!</p>
<p><strong>More Help with Self Being Authentically YOU</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Word Games: Do the Words You Use Matter?</strong></p>
<p><em>Do you ever think about the true power behind the words you use?</em></p>
<p>Check out this brief encounter between myself and a women whom I&#8217;ll call Natasha. Then read the teaching about the true power of words and examine your own word usage.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Being a published author of your own book makes you an authority,” I said. “The word &#8216;author&#8217; is the root of &#8216;authority&#8217;.”</p>
<p>“You are just playing with words,” Natasha said haughtily, dismissing me as if I were a bug on the windshield of her life. “I don&#8217;t need to play with words. I KNOW I am an authority.</p></blockquote>
<p>I am not bothered by her opinion of me or what I said. Natasha tends to show up with a lot of vanity and judgment. That is her way of communicating, currently.</p>
<p>The truth of the matter is that author really IS the root word of authority, and this is important. Authors are considered to be more expert and knowledgeable than non-authors by virtue of the fact that they are published.</p>
<p>Paying attention to the words you use and the meaning behind them is revealing.</p>
<p>Do you say, “I am anxious to get started,” or “I am eager to get started”?</p>
<p>It is not that one or the other is right or wrong. Saying you are anxious means you are feeling worry or foreboding. Saying you are eager means you are keen to start.</p>
<p>This is not some stupid game or semantics. Words carry the energy of their meaning inside them; whether one is conscious of that meaning or not makes no difference.</p>
<p>Dismiss the power of words at your peril, for words shape reality.</p>
<p>Thoughts are things. Words are the animating force of those thoughts.</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Masaru Emoto: Words Shape Water</strong></p>
<p>Dr. Emoto has dedicated his life to creating peace and harmony. His research includes the power of words on water.</p>
<p>Numerous images demonstrating the true power of words as shown in water crystals appear n the movie <em><strong><a href="http://www.whatthebleep.com/crystals/" target="_blank">What the Bleep Do We Know</a></strong></em></p>
<p>Below is an image of love and gratitude in water crystals. Please visit Dr<strong><a href="http://www.masaru-emoto.net/english/ephoto.html" target="_blank">. Emoto&#8217;s website</a></strong> for further study.</p>

<p>This is Dr. Emoto&#8217;s teaching about words in water crystals:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="normal-title">What is the photograph of frozen water crystals?</p>
<p>It was 1994 when the idea to freeze water and observe it with microscope came upon me. With this method, I was convinced that I should be able to see something like snow crystals.</p>
<p>After two months of trial and error, this idea bore fruit. The beautifully shining hexagonal crystals were created from the invisible world. My staff at the laboratory and I were absorbed in it and began to do many researches.</p>
<p>At first, we strenuously observed crystals of tap water, river water, and lake water. From the tap water we could not get any beautiful crystals. We could not get any beautiful ones from rivers and lakes near big cities, either.</p>
<p>However, from the water from rivers and lakes where water is kept pristine from development, we could observe beautiful crystals with each one having its own uniqueness.</p>
<p>The observation was done in various ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>Observe the crystal of frozen water after showing letters to water</li>
<li>Showing pictures to water</li>
<li>Playing music to water</li>
<li>Praying to water</li>
</ol>
<p>In all of these experiments, distilled water for hospital usage produced by the same company was used. Since it is distilled twice, it can be said that it is pure water.</p>
<p>The result was that we always observed beautiful crystals after giving good words, playing good music, and showing, playing, or offering pure prayer to water.</p>
<p>On the other hand, we observed disfigured crystals in the opposite situation. Moreover, we never observed identical crystals.</p>
<p>I published these results as photograph collections: “Messages from Water 1” (1999), “Messages from Water 2” (2002), “Messages from Water 3” (2004), and “Messages from Water 4” (2008). (All of them are published from Hado Kyoiku-Sha.)</p>
<p>Then in November 2001, “Water Knows the Answer” (Sunmark Publishing) was published not as a photograph collection but as explanatory book. Many of you may know that these books have become bestseller not only in Japan but also rather in overseas.</p>
<p>It is “beauty” if I were asked about the selection criteria of crystals.</p>
<p>This world is filled with wonders and mysteries that get more incomprehensible if we try to think of a reason. In a familiar situation, for example, why do dogs exist and why do cats exist? Why do mice exist and why do snakes exist? Why are there cherry blossom trees and why are there willow trees? What is a human being in the first place? As such, there are so many incomprehensible things that we cannot understand at all.</p>
<p>Thus, except for some of truly basic things, no one disagrees that there are still so many unknowns. Probably we understand 3%. in other words, I think 97% is unknown. The reason why the number is 3% is that the research of geneticists revealed the level of our DNA activation is 3%.</p>
<p>I believe the original idea of creation by the creator of this universe was “the pursuit of beauty.” Everything is combination of energetic vibration. As vibration resonates, it makes some tangible objects.<br />
Combination of non-resonating vibration can result in destructive energy, and nothing can be created out of it. When some vibration and the other resonate each other, it always creates beautiful design. Thus, most of the Earth is covered with beautiful nature.</p>
<p>That is why scientists, philosophers, and religionists pursue for unknown facts. Is it presumptuous to suggest them taking paths with “the pursuit of beauty” in mind as a means to confirm their right paths?</p>
<p>There are approximately 7 billion people exist on this Earth now. I think there is one common standard we share although our skin colors, languages, religious beliefs may be different. I think that is the standard of “beauty”.</p>
<p>However, the deep pursuit of beauty is slightly different depending on experience, age, and personality. That is why many types of wonderful artists who pursue the secrets of beauty always appear in the human history one after another.</p>
<p>Therefore, the photograph of crystals is neither science nor religion. I hope it is enjoyed as a new type of art. Nevertheless, the world it shows is truth, and there is no doubt that many messages essential to our lives are hidden in it.</p>
<p>Masaru Emoto</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Watch These Words in Water</strong></p>
<p>This <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnbZN54IZNE&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">video</a></strong> shows the effect of numerous images of various words, images and music upon water.</p>
<p>Seeing water before and after prayer is truly amazing. Notice the difference between words such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mother Teresa</li>
<li>You fool</li>
<li>Thank you.</li>
<li>I love you.</li>
<li>You make me sick. I will kill you.</li>
<li>love and gratitude</li>
</ul>
<p>And the difference between music styles, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Heavy metal music</li>
<li>Japanese folk dance</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OnbZN54IZNE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p align="left">Notice the power of words made manifest and realize that what you say and how you talk about yourself (and others) inside your head matters.</p>
<p align="left">Kind words help plants grow. Foul words are so potent that speaking them can kill a plant or small animal. So imagine the power of words on your experience of life!</p>
<p><strong>Three Arrows of Power</strong></p>
<p>According to many teachings worldwide, including <strong><a href="http://profitablestorytelling.com/thejourney" target="_blank">Native American wisdom</a></strong> teachings, words are one of the most powerful forces within human nature.</p>
<p><a href="http://profitablestorytelling.com/3arrows" target="_blank">Native American wisdom</a> teachings speak of words as one of your <strong><a href="http://asktsl.com/3arrows" target="_blank">3 Arrows of Power</a></strong>.Mastering thoughts, words and action, the <strong><a href="http://profitablestorytelling.com/3arrows" target="_blank">3 arrows of power</a></strong>, is a life-long journey of self-mastery.</p>
<p>There is energy behind every thought, every word, and every action.</p>
<p>So <em>what energy do you choose to wield</em>?.</p>
<p>Will you use your words to put yourself above everyone? To be haughty and arrogant? To serve? To heal? To encourage?</p>
<p><strong>Watch Your Language</strong></p>
<p>Here are 3 ways to watch your language and mind your words: These are <strong><a href="http://asktsl.com/3arrows" target="_blank">word games</a></strong> that can change your life!</p>
<p><strong>1. “That&#8217;s my friend you&#8217;re talking about”</strong></p>
<p>Pay attention to how you think about yourself. There are thoughts running inside your head most of the time (if not constantly). Write down the most common thoughts and words you find yourself thinking about yourself.</p>
<p>Say you notice the habit of saying things like I&#8217;m so stupid, or that was dumb. Would you speak to your friend that way?</p>
<p>Write down and practice being gentle with yourself and using loving words.</p>
<p><strong>2. Deeper meanings</strong></p>
<p>When you notice yourself using a word or phrase frequently, go to a dictionary site and look up the meaning. Remember the distinction between anxious and eager?</p>
<p>Practice using the word that conveys your intention. There&#8217;s no point building up anxiety when you truly are feeling keen and excited about something, right?</p>
<p><strong>3. Master Your Mind</strong></p>
<p>Words can be thought, spoken or written. Don&#8217;t replace one word or thought for another because you think it is “more positive.” Begin mastering the words you think and say and you will be on a journey of mastering yourself</p>

<p>Some people feel you should not let your book be loaned out, because that would take away from your readers and negate the lead generating power of a book.</p>

<p>First, read the news from Amazon KDP, then I&#8217;ll come back with a big benefit overview and</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the news from <strong>Kindle Direct Publishing</strong> about the Kindle Owners Lending Library:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hello from <strong>KDP</strong>!</p>
<p>We&#8217;re excited to introduce <strong>KDP Select</strong> &#8211; a new option dedicated to KDP authors and publishers worldwide, featuring a fund of $500,000 in December 2011 and at least $6 million in total for 2012! </p>
<p>KDP Select gives you a new way to earn royalties, reach a broader audience, and use a new set of promotional tools.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s how KDP Select works:</strong></p>
<p>When you make any of your titles exclusive to the Kindle Store for at least 90 days, those with US rights will automatically be included in the Kindle Owners&#8217; Lending Library and can earn a share of a monthly fund. </p>
<p>The monthly fund for December 2011 is $500,000 and will total at least $6 million in 2012. </p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t checked it out already, the Kindle Owners&#8217; Lending Library is a collection of books that eligible US Amazon Prime members can borrow for free once a month with no due dates.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also now have access to a new set of <strong>promotional tools</strong>, starting with the option to promote your KDP Select-enrolled titles for FREE for up to 5 days every 90 days.</p>
<p><strong>How your share of the monthly fund is calculated:</strong></p>
<p>Your share of the monthly fund is based on your enrolled titles&#8217; share of the total number of borrows across all participating KDP titles in the Kindle Owners&#8217; Lending Library. </p>
<p>For example, if total borrows of all participating KDP titles are 100,000 in December and your book was borrowed 1,500 times, you will earn $7,500 in additional royalties from KDP Select in December. </p>
<p>Enrolled titles will remain available for sale to any customer in the Kindle Store and you will continue to earn your regular royalties on those sales.</p>
<p><strong>What this means to you:</strong></p>
<p>KDP Select gives you access to a whole new source of royalties and readers- you not only benefit from a new way of making <a href="http://profitablestorytelling.com/money" target="_blank">money</a>,</p>
<p>but you also get the chance to reach even more readers by getting your book in front of a growing number of US Amazon Prime customers: readers and future fans of your books that you may have not had a chance to reach before!</p>
<p>Additionally, the ability to offer your book for free will help expand your worldwide reader base.</p>
<p><strong>How to enroll:</strong></p>
<p>KDP Select is available for titles participating in both the 70% and 35% royalty options.  You can immediately start by enrolling a single title, your whole catalog, or anything in between.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in enrolling a title that&#8217;s already uploaded, simply click &#8220;Enroll&#8221; next to the book in your Bookshelf. To enroll multiple titles that are already uploaded, select the boxes next to any number of titles, then click &#8220;Actions&#8221; and choose &#8220;Enroll these books in KDP Select.&#8221; The titles you choose will be enrolled immediately.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in enrolling a new title, simply check the &#8220;Enroll this book in KDP Select&#8221; box while submitting details about your book and proceed to publish the book as you normally would. For new titles, enrollment takes effect once the book is available for sale on our website.</p>

<p>The biggest benefit to you, dear author, is that you get to spread your name recognition and your message to more people. Your book can be loaned out by readers to people whom they feel would enjoy your book. The loan is limited (except for Amazon Prime members, who pay a steep yearly fee for faster shipping and other benefits).</p>
<p><strong>Why You as an Author Expert Should Enroll Your Books in KDP Select and Kindle Owners Lending Library</strong></p>
<p>You as an author expert do not have to lose anything by allowing people to loan your Kindle book to their friends. If the book is of great enough value, the reader (whether a buyer or a loaner) will do one or both of these two things:</p>
<p><strong>1. Buy their own copy of your book</strong> so they have it forever. This makes them a buyer lead instead of just a freebie lead. A buyer lead is at least ten times more valuable than someone who comes to you for something free. A buyer has invested in themselves with you (even if that investment is only $1).</p>
<p><strong>2. Take another action with you</strong>. This “other action” could be to purchase a product to which you guide people in your book or to opt in to receive a valuable tool or resource for free (which then means you get to communicate regularly with the prospect over and over. The plan is to turn that freebie lead into a buyer and ultimately into someone who does business with you long term.</p>
<p><em><strong>What More Help with How to Write a book and Publish on Kindle?</strong></em></p>

<p>Think of where you draw your inspiration.</p>
<p><em>Did you ever have a dream that turned into a story or a song or some other expression of yourself? </em>I have, more than once. I hope you have as well.</p>

<p>This has happened to many creative folk, and today you are about to meet one such person.</p>
<p>Mara Kerr became captivated with one particular beach, and the ocean sang to her there. She turned this inspiration into a book.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;ve thought it&#8217;s high time you find out how to write and <glsry>publish a book on <a target=_blank href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/glossary/?Term=Kindle" title="Definition for Kindle: The Kindle Reader is an electronic reader.

There&#8217;s a new kid in town when it comes to Kindle publishing. It&#8217;s called <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_356729702_1?ie=UTF8&amp;node=2486013011&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=center-2&amp;pf_rd_r=17GGCSR7E1B2S3NRTFJK&amp;pf_rd_t=1401&amp;pf_rd_p=1309830742&amp;pf_rd_i=1000700491" target="_blank">Kindle Singles</a></strong>.</p>

You can take the DIY approach or get tutorials and help with Effortless Kindle P" rel="glossary" class="">Kindle Direct Publishing</a></a> lets anyone who holds rights to their work publish a Kindle book. <strong>Kindle Singles</strong> go through an editorial process and have stringent quality guidelines.</p>
<p>First things first. Kindle Singles are probably new to you.</p>
<p><strong>What is a Kindle Single?</strong></p>
<p>According to Amazon, Kindle Singles are shorter works expressed in their “natural length.”  To Amazon, this means 5,000 to 30,000 words. If you&#8217;re not sure how long that is, it&#8217;s from 20 to 120 8.5 x 11 pages.</p>
<p>Works such as memoirs, novellas, short stories, special reports, and chapbooks (poetry collections) are ideal for Singles.</p>
<p>So the question you might ask yourself is:</p>
<p><em><strong>Should publish a Kindle Single or self-publish with </strong></em><a href="http://kdp.amazon.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Kindle Direct Publishing</strong></a><em><strong> (<a target=_blank href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/glossary/?Term=Kindle Direct Publishing" title="Definition for KDP: Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP is Amazon's self-publishing branch for Kindle books. It is free to self-publish a book on Kindle.  You can take the DIY approach or get tutorials and help with Effortless Kindle Publishing. THis packa" rel="glossary" class=""><a target=_blank href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/glossary/?Term=Kindle Direct Publishing" title="Definition for KDP: Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP is Amazon's self-publishing branch for Kindle books. It is free to self-publish a book on Kindle.  You can take the DIY approach or get tutorials and help with Effortless Kindle Publishing. THis packa" rel="glossary" class="">KDP</a></a>)?</strong></em></p>
<p>The answer? You may be irritated:</p>
<p>It depends!</p>
<p><em>What&#8217;s the intended outcome?</em></p>
<p>Really think this through before you answer this question for yourself. I&#8217;ll help.</p>
<p>KDP means you&#8217;re instantly a published author. The number of Kindle books is growing fast. You gain all the benefits of being an author right away, even if your book is a 15 or 20 page special report.</p>
<p><em><strong><a href="http://profitablestorytelling.com/wow" target="_blank">Imagine You Thin</a></strong></em> hit #1 bestseller in 7 days and months later, the title is consistently in the top 25 or better in at least 2 categories. This is a very short report.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TGW6M6/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=catmuldoonhom-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B004TGW6M6" target="_blank"><strong>Cynthia Fertal</strong></a>, the author, started from nothing, wrote her book, followed my system and turned a special report into a #1 bestseller in days. Here&#8217;s proof of her #1 bestseller status.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://ebizac.com/order/?id=2411&amp;p=6106&amp;pp=pp" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-40107  alignnone" style="margin: 15px;" title="Cynthia Fertal Imagine You Thin #1 in Hot New Releases" src="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/cynthia-1inHotNewReleases.jpg" alt="cynthia 1inHotNewReleases Easy Write &amp; Publish System" width="375" height="285" /></a></p>
<p align="left">Naturally, there are no submission guidelines because you&#8217;re self-publishing with the KDP process.</p>
<p align="left">Now take a look at Singles. As a subset within Kindle, there are only a few Singles, which is great news should you decide to go through the selection process.</p>
<p align="left"><strong><em>How Many Kindle Singles Are There?</em></strong></p>
<p>In the past month there are only 11 new titles, and 33 within the last 90 days. That means if you pass the editorial guidelines, your chances of making a bigger splash with a Single are bigger</p>
<p>There are just over 400 customer ratings of Kindle singles as of today.</p>
<p>And get this – there are only 123 Kindle Singles as of today.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re thinking of submitting a piece of your work of 5,000 to 30,000 words (which can truly be a book the way I teach people), what&#8217;s the process? </p>
<p><strong>The Kindle Singles Selection Process</strong></p>
<p>Unlike <strong><a href="http://kdp.amazon.com/" target="_blank">Kindle Direct Publishing</a></strong> through <a href="http://profitablestorytelling.com/kindle">www.KDP.Amazon.com</a>, Kindle Singles authors go through an approval process. This makes Singles publishing more like going through a publisher.</p>
<p>There are quality guidelines for Kindle Singles. Here is what they are seeking:</p>
<blockquote><p>We&#8217;re looking for compelling ideas expressed at their natural length&#8211;writing that doesn&#8217;t easily fall into the conventional space limitations of magazines or print books. Kindle Singles are typically between 5,000 and 30,000 words.</p>

<p><strong>How to Submit a Book to Kindle Singles</strong></p>
<p>Here are the guidelines straight from Amazon.com:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>How to submit</strong></p>
<p>We will consider ebooks recently published via Kindle Direct Publishing, manuscript submissions, or pitches.</p>
<p>• To nominate your self-published book, simply email us at <a href="mailto:kindle-singles@amazon.com">kindle-singles@amazon.com</a> and include the title, ASIN, and a brief summary.</p>
<p>• If the work is not yet published, you can submit a manuscript or a detailed pitch for your Kindle Single. Send as much material as you have available to <a href="mailto:kindle-singles@amazon.com">kindle-singles@amazon.com</a> and include your name and a writing sample.</p>
<p>• Writers or publishers wishing to propose an idea for a Kindle Single can write to our editors at <a href="mailto:kindle-singles@amazon.com">kindle-singles@amazon.com</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Publish a Kindle Book</strong></p>
<p>Remember, you can write more than 1 book. So even if you decide to submit to Kindle Singles, you&#8217;re free to <a target=_blank href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/glossary/?Term=publish a book on Kindle" title="Definition for publish a book on Kindle: It's so easy (and free).

Inspire yourself even m" rel="glossary" class="">Inspirational Thoughts</a></a>: Can You Openly Discuss Your Faith?</strong></p>
<p>This message might turn some people off.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;m willing to risk it, because if you&#8217;re intolerant<br />
of differences in people, then we&#8217;re not well<br />
matched anyway.</p>
<p>My message will always be that there is more than<br />
enough of everything for everyone of all faith-walks,<br />
all races, all colors, all orientations, all viewpoints.</p>
<p>Love paves the path to peace.</p>
<p>One of the best ways to increase your capacity to<br />
love is to openly receive the stories of all people.</p>
<p>It is not necessary to agree with the way others<br />
live, but it is critical to openly accept that every<br />
human being is just as much a spark of divinity in<br />
human form as you yourself are.</p>
<p>Listening, learning, understanding &#8211; all these qualities<br />
help humanity come together.</p>
<p>My own willingness to open myself to learn about<br />
people of different faith walks and to learn about<br />
their religion as a child caused me to realize that<br />
we have more in common than we have<br />
differences.</p>
<p>There is no time in history more in need of human<br />
tolerance and understanding than right now today.</p>
<p>One way to connect in a positive way with people<br />
is to learn about the various religious paths people<br />
choose.</p>
<p><em><strong>How did YOU choose your faith?</strong></em></p>
<p>There are many different ways people express the<br />
tendency to find a spiritual meaning to live. There<br />
are 6 major world-wide religions. Not all people<br />
follow 1 of them, of course, however, these are<br />
the biggest ones.</p>
<p>No one religion, race or creed is the source of all <strong>inspirational thoughts</strong> and stories.</p>
<p>Please accept this invitation to increase your<br />
understanding and tolerance of people whose beliefs<br />
may be VERY different from your own.</p>
<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x2RWCVPViBw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>I am honored and proud to be a promotion partner<br />
for the book you are about to discover. Please bring<br />
it home and accept the bonus gifts</p>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t it be a better world if we didn’t just “tolerate”<br />
other religions, but actually knew about the beliefs and<br />
practices that inspire the people who worship under them?</p>
<p>By expanding your awareness, you can contribute to lasting<br />
global peace.</p>
<p>In A Question of Faith: A Simple Question Toward the Ultimate<br />
Truth, author Tor Constantino does something no author has<br />
ever done before&#8230; </p>
<p>He offers an easy-to-understand, insider’s perspective on the<br />
6 major global religions so that you can discover where your<br />
true faith might be, and discover other religions.</p>
<p>Explore Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and<br />
Sikhism – their differences AND their similarities.</p>
<p>In A Question of Faith you’ll explore the history, beliefs and<br />
practices of each religion, including a few interesting pieces<br />
of trivia you never imagined!</p>
<p>For those seeking spiritual insight there is perhaps no greater<br />
question than what faith to choose and believe.</p>
<p>And for the rest, there may be no greater task than opening<br />
up to learn about other religions other than one’s own. </p>
<p>This is truly the doorway to peace between nations AND<br />
between individuals as well..</p>
<p>Read Tor Constantino’s A Question of Faith!<br />
&#8211;&gt; <a href="http://www.thedailyretort.com/faith/">www.TheDailyRetort.com/faith/</a></p>
<p>Let me know what you like best about the book once<br />
you read it &#8211; and as always&#8230;</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a scenario that I&#8217;ve witnessed hundreds of times. I&#8217;ll ask an author (or someone wanting to write a book) &#8220;What else do you have besides the book?</p>
<p>The answer is usually something like this: &#8220;Uh&#8230;what else?&#8230; Well, I&#8217;d like to do some speaking?&#8221;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s always hesitation and questioning in the voice.</p>
<p>As an expert &#8211; an authority in your arena &#8211; you absolutely must have other info products besides your book.</p>
<p>So here are 3 quick tips to create your own info product FAST!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aYhIBak8LHI?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="watch video" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYhIBak8LHI" target="_blank">(link to watch video)</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1. Sell seats to a teleseminar, webinar or live class and then record it. Instant info product!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2. Use the &#8220;acres of diamonds&#8221; you already have. These are audios, videos, special reports, ebooks, etc. that you have already written but aren&#8217;t making the most use of.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">3. Act FAST! Don&#8217;t spend  months adding, tweaking, and ruminating. Create a product and you can always add more to it (and charge more! later!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Theese are just a few of the strategies you learn in the <strong><a title="Effortless Product Creation System" href="http://ProfitableStorytelling.com/creation" target="_blank"><a target=_blank href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/glossary/?Term=Effortless Product Creation" title="Definition for Effortless Product Creation: Effortless Product Creation is a 1+1=10 system that teaches you a simple formula for turning 1 hour of prep + 1 hour of teaching into 10 &quot;things&quot; - meaning a combination of products and lead generators - al" rel="glossary" class=""><a target=_blank href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/glossary/?Term=Effortless Product Creation" title="Definition for Effortless Product Creation: Effortless Product Creation is a 1+1=10 system that teaches you a simple formula for turning 1 hour of prep + 1 hour of teaching into 10 &quot;things&quot; - meaning a combination of products and lead generators - al" rel="glossary" class="">Effortless Product Creation</a></a> System</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Meanings of Dreams: What Is the Secret Language of Nightmares Telling You?</strong></p>
<p>Dream meanings fascinate nearly everyone. Since I&#8217;ve been studying dream interpretation, my friends who know about it always ask me about the symbolshidden in their dreams. It&#8217;s funny, because they expect me to be a walking dream interpretation dictionary!</p>
<p>Well, if you&#8217;ve ever had a nightmare, you know how heart-poundingly scary they can be. Yet what you may NOT know is that your nightmares are actually your subsoncious&#8217; way of trying to get your attention.</p>
<p> Halloween is a time when people tend to think about nightmares, so as an authority, it is a great time to get on-air publicity for sharing the h idden messages of nightmares.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you skilled at what you do, yet you feel as if you&#8217;re chasing your tail?</p>
<p>Lots of truly brilliant people who cause amazing transformations in the lives of their clients lives have one or more of the following big problems:</p>
<ul>
<li>Charging too little</li>
<li>Not enough clients</li>
<li>Fear of selling</li>
<li>Working too hard</li>
<li>Doing the wrong activities</li>
<li>Doing things that take you out of your brilliance and into tactics</li>

<p>How many of those are YOU?</p>

<p>You spend your work time doing that thing you do that gives you joy.</p>
<p>Your customers pay you on time and well, plus they send you referrals.</p>
<p>You are truly doing the work you are best suited to do.</p>
<p>You laugh and smile a lot!</p>

<p>Dear brilliant, busy expert:</p>
<p>It happens WAY too often.</p>
<p>A brilliant expert with SO much to offer KNOWS it&#8217;s important to have a product for sale that showcases their expertise&#8230; but they are &#8220;still working on it&#8221; &#8211; for MONTHS!</p>
<p><strong>Sonya&#8217;s Sad Story</strong></p>
<p>There is an extremely gifted, brilliant, skilled entrepreneur (whom I will call Sonya), who has been getting her first info product together for a full 12 months.</p>
<p>Sonya has a system that would make her ideal audience salivate -</p>
<p>if only they could buy it from her.</p>
<p>She did an audio last year, and still that product is not up on her website or in any other format that could generate sales for her.</p>
<p>One year &#8211; 13 moons &#8211; and still she can&#8217;t earn a dime on her product.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">big problem</span>.</p>
<p>She complains a lot about her business not generating money.</p>
<p>Hello! She has nothing to SELL!</p>
<p>How could it possibly generate income?</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the Issue?</strong></p>
<p>Sonya has a lot going for her -</p>
<ul>
<li>Smarts</li>
<li>Skills</li>
<li>Solutions</li>
</ul>
<p>The problem is that Sonya knows there are so many ways she <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>could</em></span> put her product together and so many ways to package it —</p>
<p>—that she&#8217;s getting into &#8220;analysis paralysis.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Can you relate?</em></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re like Sonya, then this is the most important letter you&#8217;ll ever read.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Sure, there are probably 250 ways to make a basic info product.</p>
<p>And just saying &#8220;start something&#8221; or &#8220;pick something&#8221; doesn&#8217;t work. I also think it&#8217;s important to create a product in such a way that it really becomes:</p>
<ul>
<li>a basic product package</li>
<li>an upsell package</li>
<li>several lead generators</li>
</ul>
<p>all in an effortless way that lets you be the genius you are. That&#8217;s what the <strong>Effortless Product Creation System </strong>gives you<strong>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>AND get PAID BEFORE you create your product as well as AFTER!</strong></p>
<p> Chances are that right now, you experience one or more of these frustrations:</p>
<ul>
<li>busy</li>
<li>stressed</li>
<li>overwhelmed</li>
<li>procrastinating</li>
<li>perfectionist</li>
<li>over-worked</li>
<li>tail-chasing</li>
<li>feel like you&#8217;re a hamster in a wheel</li>
<li>getting poor results (or not as good results) in your business</li>
<li>wish something would be EASY for ONCE!</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Is that you?</em></p>
<p> Ugh &#8211; it makes my guts clench just writing that list!</p>
<p>that&#8217;s not how life is supposed to be. S</p>
<p>TOP! Take a breath.</p>
<p>Now take another one.</p>
<p>c&#8217;mon &#8211; I mean it!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Effortless</span> Creation!</strong></p>

<p>This system works. Follow it to the letter and watch in delight as magic happens!</p>
<p>Can I guarantee your results? No, of course not.</p>
<p>Will you actually do what you&#8217;re told and apply the simple system precisely? Could be, but probably you&#8217;ll think you know more about it, and you&#8217;ll fiddle and fididdle around for months or years.</p>
<p>But when you apply the simple, anyone-can-do-it steps, you will get a product created and up online with lead generators in much less time than you ever imagined possible.</p>
<p>Nobody can guarantee your results, but people who know me say things like this:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Ronda, I have no idea how you create products so fast. &#8220;</p>

<p>My pets and cooking are 2 of my passions. So have a peek at this week&#8217;s fun!</p>
<p>So here are some photos of things that I have experienced this week.</p>
<p>Last night, my guide dog Molly sidled up to me on the couch and snuggled in between me and her feline sister, Tica. They are so ADORABLE together!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I made some brocoli-cheddarsoup this week. Mom and I enjoyed it for lunch.</p>
<p><a title="Homemade Cheddar Cheese Soup by The Story Lady, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thestorylady/6204028835/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6158/6204028835_ef14cdd2fe.jpg" alt="Homemade Cheddar Cheese Soup" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>My mom and her hubby had a house guest, so Bruce asked me to smoke some ribs. Naturally, I did. Not much talking during dinner, but there was LOTS of moaning!</p>
<p><a title="Applewood Smoked Ribs by The Story Lady, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thestorylady/6221926246/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6101/6221926246_fdde8921c8.jpg" alt="Applewood Smoked Ribs" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>What&#8217;s for dessert? Peanut butter banana cake with homemade peanut butter frosting!</p>
<p><a title="Peanut Butter Banana Cake by The Story Lady, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thestorylady/6204919912/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6151/6204919912_3f49224ee2.jpg" alt="Peanut Butter Banana Cake" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>These are a couple of my hens strolling around the boat trailer. It&#8217;s mom&#8217;s hubby&#8217;s boat, not mine! I live in a house just up the hill from theirs.</p>
<p><a title="Strolling Hens by The Story Lady, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thestorylady/5935223387/"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6148/5935223387_f154660a7a.jpg" alt="Strolling Hens" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>

<p>She, like the others, was not born in privilege. Not born lucky. Not in possession of any skill or talent that</p>
<p>Most of the stories in this X Factor series are of ordinary people who have a special quality. More than talent, persistence, or a big dream, some people have tuned in and tapped into their special <strong><a href="http://www.profitablestorytelling.com/writing/free-event-do-you-have-the-x-factor/" target="_blank">X Factor</a></strong> quality.</p>
<p>This story is NOT about someone taking a stage in a competition. It&#8217;s about a woman who is becoming one of the famous entrepreneurs in the Philippines..</p>

<p>There&#8217;s a lot of “noise.” Everyone&#8217;s busy. Everyone gets too much stimulation from the media, texts, emails, adn just getting through LIFE.</p>
<p>So how is an author, expert, entrepreneur or small business owner to stand out from the crowd?</p>
<p><strong>The <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=176953439051515" target="_blank">X Factor</a> Quality – separating the bla from the WOW!</strong></p>
<p>Carson Kressley is a good example of someone who has the X Factor. He has a presence that the average person lacks.</p>
<p>As a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, his technique is not great. Yet watch him dance and you&#8217;ll see that he is truly captivating.</p>
<p align="center"><a title="Watch Carson Kressley's cha-cha-cha." href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfW812NbKww" target="_blank">Watch Carson Kressley&#8217;s cha-cha-cha.</a></p>
