Self Publishing on Barnes and Nobles

All of us writers and authors all want to publish a book or get published in a book! 


We have submitted and submitted--and sometimes still get those annoying "NO" letters... While some of us have had success getting published, there is something about SELF PUBLISHING that is more satisfying. 


A client of mine on Fiverr.com, Maria Gudelis is an author, entrepreneur, Real Estate agent and an Internet Marketing Expert. She wants to let others know why they should get published on Barnes and Nobles...


Here are her 4 reasons for getting published on Barnes and Nobles: 



1. It gives you instant Credibility
2. It separates YOU from the rest of your competition
3. You use the book as your “Lead Generation Magnet” and each buyer of your book becomes a customer that can buy even MORE from you as you establish a relationship with them
4. You can use the book as a instant ‘conversation’ piece at networking events.
********************************************
You have to admit, these are all pretty good reasons. For an author to get their book into a well known market such as Barnes and Nobles  is a great success--and its also a great way to release your book to millions of consumers on the market.... 
Maria Gudelis wants to tell you even more information about publishing and she has plenty of tips and advice to give you on her blog.... For those who are interested in self-publishing, they should all definitely give it a read.... 


The Business of Fiverr.com

In the last month, I have had many orders and have obtained some new clients from Fiverr.com. I actually found this website information in a Woman's Day magazine. There was an article about 12 ways to earn income online, and Fiverr.com was one of the websites listed.... Ever since day 1 of signing up there--I have had an order. 


You basically set up a gig that you are wiling to do for $5. You complete the gig, Fiverr takes $1 and you get paid $4. The only downfall is that Fiverr holds your payment for up to 2 weeks. But then you get paid. While $4 doesn't seem like much--after awhile---it adds up quick! Especially after you have many orders!


I wrote an article explaining more about Fiverr.com and if you are interested in making an income doing whatever kind of task you want for $5 (some are even as strange as singing Happy Birthday Marilyn Monroe style for $5), 


then check out my article:


THe Business Benefits of Fiverr.com

Losing Weight

If you are like most people, than losing weight can be hard sometimes. I know I have had my ups and downs about it myself. There is so much different foods to try on the market, and even more technology available that seems to keep us inside. It is important to get outside and exercise, or even exercise to videos in the home if we can't get out-and its also VERY important to keep a healthy diet and eat the foods that are healthy for us...


On Fiverr.com, there was a client who had a weight-loss program that they wanted me to blog about. It's called The Mediterranean Diet.


Here is the description of the Mediterranean Diet:


Do you love eating well? The Mediterranean diet is based on delicious foods. It is a way to live well, be well, and get to a healthy weight (and stay there) without feeling deprived or hungry.


I know that I would like to be able to eat what I want-without feeling deprived--and then actually stay at my goal weight! You can still eat what you want (in moderation)-have a positive mind set-YES -you can meet your goals, --and have plenty of optimism..... A positive mind with happy thoughts-will help you get to where you want to go! With the Mediterranean diet, you can learn how to lose weight naturally,  lower cholesterol naturally, (for pregnant women-learn to eat a healthy pregnancy diet) and learn about monounsaturated fats.

Introducing: Pyxism....

At Fivver.com, one of my clients wanted me to tell you a little about his company, Pyxism. 


Its actually a travel company where you can get discounts on products and vacations that you can sell at retail. Those who decide to take advantage of this new home-based-business will have access to thousands of resorts world-wide at steep discounts-That they can then offer to consumers. Sellers can also have the chance to book their own travel as well. When you sell one of these great get-aways to a customer, you earn commissions. 


If you had always wanted to get into the travel business, and offer exotic vacations, then this is your time to lock into Pyxism's home based business... Should you be one of the millions who have found him/herself out of work and looking for a new opportunity, perhaps you can read more about this business...

Busy as a Bee!

The Rural Freelance Writer here has been quite busy!  I have had many writing orders and clients in the last month or so. Recently, I found a new website to provide writing services to called, "Fiverr.com." I offer to write 300-400 word articles for $5. There also is a new Twitter and blogging service that I just started offering, so you may see some new advertisements or reviews about websites to come on this blog too. 


Then, I got a cool idea to start advertising my writing services on Ebay! I don't know why I didn't think of that before! I also have been getting many clients from Ebay and have been trying to keep up with orders there as well. It has been a very busy time for me. 


To some, it may not seem like much-but in one day-I made $114 just from writing--It was great to feel that I made that just from my own writing services.... Was really awesome....


--So be ready readers--you may be meeting some of my new client friends here at the Rural Freelance Writer--as I review their topics and introduce them to you......


So if you don't hear much from me much---Its because my fingers are busy typing and dancing all over the keyboard!.... I promise to check in every now and then though!
