Making Something Out Of Nothing Is Focus Of New Book

January 9th, 2010

According to the Small Business Administration, over 50% of all businesses fail within the first five years. Some of the most common reasons why most businesses fail are: not knowing how to market themselves, and not knowing how to make maximum money out of the customers they do have.

Craig Garber, from kingofcopy.com, has devised a little-known yet very practical marketing system, that lets you avoid these common and costly mistakes. The strategies that make up his system are revealed inside his new book, “How To Make Maximum Money With Minimum Customers: 21 Proven Direct-Marketing Strategies Anyone Can Use.” In clear and no-nonsense language, the book reveals:

• How to stop exchanging time for money – No matter how much you charge, trading time for money means your income will always be limited. Garber shows you how to leverage your time by using simple marketing systems that do all the selling for you. Numerous examples also show you how to create additional streams of income from your current business, all at very high profit margins.

• How to make maximum money with minimum customers – “Most business-owners spend way too much time chasing down new customers. They neglect the ‘acres of diamonds’ they already have in their own back yard,” says Garber, a publisher and lead generation marketing specialist. He shows you, step-by-step, exactly how he made $578,463.44 in one year, with a very small list of customers and without spending even one thin dime on advertising — and all at 90% profit.

• How to use the Internet to make money – There is so much hype out there on this subject, and the allure of easy money is very compelling. But Garber says, “Making money online isn’t easy, not by a long-shot. However, once you know the right way to use e-mail to communicate with your customers and members of your list, it immediately positions you head and shoulders above your competition. It also lets you charge top-dollar and sell much more.” Garber gives you dozens of examples of the kinds of e-mails that work most effectively, along with strategies that make your website more of a money-magnet for your particular business, inside his new manual.

Unfortunately, people learn the hard way the old adage ‘Do what you like and the money will come,’ simply isn’t true when it comes to running a business. Plenty of enthusiastic entrepreneurs fail because they don’t have the basic marketing skills needed, to attract a steady stream of pre-qualified clients. And, they have no idea how to get their existing customers to buy from them, over and over.

Garber says, “Look, starting and running a business isn’t easy. Especially in today’s climate where even well established companies are feeling the pinch. But when you know precisely how to leverage your time and your business relationships, even a small handful of customers and clients will most definitely support you in a very nice lifestyle.” The information and examples inside Garber’s new book are presented in a very simple and straightforward manner, and they are easy to apply to any kind of business, regardless of where you’re located, and whether you’re doing business online or offline. Thousands of entrepreneurs have already made money using them.

Garber’s Free Special Report called “What Every Entrepreneur MUST Know About Making Money: The 3 Most Costly And Critical Marketing Mistakes Business-Owners Make” is now available at kingofcopy.com/whatyoumustknow.

RealTime Publishing are Delighted to Announce the Releases of the Second in a Series of Five Sci-Fi Novels by Author Sam Smith

September 13th, 2009

RealTime Publishing author, Sam Smith, releases towards the unMaking of Heaven, Happiness: a Planet.

Limerick, Ireland, September 13, 2009 — RealTime Publishing Announces “towards the unMaking of Heaven, Happiness: a Planet”, the second of a Sci-Fi series from British Author Sam Smith.

RealTime Publishing, Inc. has published “towards the unMaking of Heaven, Happiness: a Planet” by Sam Smith, which is the author’s most recent book to date. The 6 x 9 Paperback in the Science Fiction category is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Borders for a suggested retail price of $14.95. ‘Happiness’ is also available in multiple eBook formats from all the main online retail stores for $7.95. The webpage at www.theebooksale.com/zen-cart was launched simultaneously with the book’s publication.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info):
For the first time since he had known Space, Halk did not look down on the farm with loathing, with the contempt a prisoner has for his keeper. Now he gazed down on those blue-green rows, as they massed into so many geometric patterns, with something akin to affection, with the indulgence of incipient nostalgia. The farm, after all, was but his father’s eccentricity. And he, Halk Fint, was heading out, in a ship of his own, for the new, for the exciting, the different.

A longing for life itself urged Halk Fint on; a desire to escape the known for the unknown, to go in search of life in all its guessed-at magnificence, in all its supposed multitudinous variety. Propelled too by the fear that if he stayed much longer on the planet then he would miss something vital; drawn on also by the feeling that somehow the future held all the answers, and he knew life on the planet and the answers weren’t down there. He knew what he would become down there, and he wanted something more, something better than that. Because Halk Fint owned the unlimited potential of the young; and the planet was old and limited in scope.

Such are the conceited aspirations of the young – so general that they are always indefinable. Like all the young, Halk Fint saw himself as the first of his kind; and the life he already knew didn’t have anything new to offer him. Suffice it to say that life itself, that ever-regenerated mystery for the young, lured him out into Space.

This story is told in the third person from the viewpoint of its many different characters – a young girl called Belid Keal, a bureaucratic Head of Department called Munred Danporr, the young policeman Drin Ligure, plus several others, and of course the two principal characters – Awen Mendawer, a photographer, and the heroinne, the astrophysicist Tulla Yorke.

Where the first book (with mystery, intrigue, kidnapping and escape) was about 3 young men being marooned on a planet called Balant, this installment is about a planet that finds its moon has gone missing.

At the same time that the moon disappeared all radio communication to and from that planet was blocked. Within Space only farmers and cranks live on planets. An unseen force destroys any craft that tries to leave the planet, except the one Space police ship. During the investigation into the missing moon, and its consequences, the principal one of which is the building of a road though mountainous terrain for the convenience of Nautili, there are 2 love affairs and many considerations upon the nature of government and society.

Expertly constructed at 258 pages, “towards the unMaking of Heaven, Happiness: a Planet” is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Science Fiction category. With Global wholesale distribution through Ingram, Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor, Books a Million and Borders, and pervasive online availability through RealTime Publishing’s online store TheEbookSale.com, Amazon and elsewhere, ‘Happiness’ meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.95 and $7.95, respectively.

Additionally, ‘Happiness’ can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers from the RealTime wholesale department by emailing buybooks@realtimepublishings.com. To qualify for the maximum trade discount price set by the author, order in quantities of ten or more.
ISBN: 9781849610339 Format: 6 x 9 Paperback SRP: $14.95
ISBN: 9781849610315 Format: multi-format eBook SRP: $7.95

Book 3, “towards the unMaking of Heaven – You Human”, will be available early in 2010.

Podding solves publishing problems for writers

April 7th, 2009

Podding is the new way forward for writers and authors looking to go in to print but who can’t find a publisher.

‘Podding’ is teaming up with one of the new ‘print on demand’ (POD) publishers, like Dragoncub (http://www.dragoncub.com/books/index.php) who will show you how to make money selling your books online.

Dragoncub can take a manuscript, edit and format the content quickly and efficiently and have your book ready to print and ship as the orders flow on.
As an author, you will also have help marketing your book to reach the widest possible audience.

Podding makes financial sense for everyone in the publishing chain:

- Publishers save because print-on-demand removes overheads like advance royalties, the need for large print runs and storage that comes with traditional book publishing.

- Authors can keep a larger slice of the royalties and their rights to the content as a POD publisher only takes a percentage of the retail price to cover printing, marketing and distribution costs.

This does not mean every book submitted is published, but the POD business model allows the publisher to take more chances with books that may not stack up sales like the Harry Potter series, allowing more writers to reach readers.

Online book publishers also offer their authors a broad selling base, whether through the online Dragoncub (http://www.dragoncub.com/books/index.php) bookstore or online giants like Amazon. Publishers like Dragoncub can also access other distribution channels that can reach thousands of retailers like high street stores, libraries and other online merchants.

Dragoncub will publish a hard or soft cover edition of a book or short stories and the author sets the retail price and keeps 80% of the selling price, which is a far higher royalty than an author would generally earn from a traditional publisher.

For instance, if you decide to sell a hard back for £12.99, as the author you will collect £10.39 from each sale without having to repay any advance on royalties.

Dragoncub (http://www.dragoncub.com/books/index.php) sells books in more than 40 categories for children and adults and if you are a first-time or a published author, offers a fast and inexpensive way to put your book in front of your readers.

“Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy”

January 17th, 2008

Wiley-Blackwell’s Latest Edition

“Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy”

In its Fourth and Final season, Book Poses New Questions From Show
New York, NY – (January 20 , 2008) In advance of the 4th – and as announced – final season of this exciting, thought provoking television series, Wiley-Blackwell’s latest installment of its Philosophy and Pop Culture Series, Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy, goes, to quote an earlier Sci-Fi series, “where no man has gone before.”

“How To Be Happy After the End of the World” emphasizes that humanity is continuing to evolve and that the human need to strive for something better is a defining quality. “Resistance vs. Collaboration” touches on the very real, incendiary issue of terrorist tactics: under what circumstances are they justified? “The Search for Starbuck: The Needs of the Many vs. the Few” makes a couple of points that raise alarm bells in today’s society. That Starbuck is female – as is the president – makes a strike against gender stereotyping and shows that whether one is male or female is really a non-issue, so long as the job gets done. In fact the whole notion of gender stereotyping is assaulted and demolished when you consider that Starbuck’ real last name is ‘Thrace’. This was taken from ‘Thrax’ – the son of Ares, the Grecian God of War. The character of Starbuck is not only a hotshot, a gambler, and sexually voracious, but is described as being the best Viper pilot ever! So much for the gentler sex.

As editor Jason Eberl puts it, “The Cylons and the humans are all just playing their roles in a cosmic story that repeats again and again.”

“There are polytheists, monotheists, atheists, Buddhists and Hindus – those who believe in the cyclical nature of time – all those different viewpoints are represented. You get to see things through different perspectives. It takes the best of what’s been done in the past and then expands and twists it,” Eberl explains.

Battlestar Galactica is a great story. “I absolutely love the show,” he continued. “It’s the most expensive and most successful show the Sci-Fi Channel has ever produced.”

Dating from the original series in 1978 through the present, at least 5 comic book publishers, including Marvel, have issued numerous series of Battlestar Galactica adaptations. There have been a minimum of five video games, one board game, one role playing game, a space-flight simulator game and a community related strategy game developed and in development. Time, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, The New Yorker, and National Review all raved about the current series.

About the Editor

Jason T. Eberl is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis where he directs a graduate program in bioethics. He also teaches medieval philosophy and metaphysics. He’s the co-editor (with Kevin Decker) of Star Wars and

Philosophy (2005) and Star Trek and Philosophy (forthcoming). He has contributed to similar books on Stanley Kubrick, Harry Potter, and Metallica. He and his wife, Jennifer, own two cars, affectionately known as the “Bucket” and the “Beast.”
