If you've published a book with a POD publisher, half the work is done. Now you have to market your books and that is just as important as writing and publishing a book.
Maybe you've paid for the 25,000 online bookstore promotion package. OK, cool your in the data base, along with millions of other author's and books. Maybe you've paid for the national and international promotions package. That's great, now your again among the millions and millions of online books.
Have you Googled your books title, or maybe your name and found that your book is found on the search engines? That's great, however in all honesty does anyone other than you, your publisher and a few friends know the name of your book or who you are? Let's be honest, if your a first time author or a unknown author, who's going to search for your book by it's title or your name as the author?
As a author, you must market yourself and your book. That's where having a author media site becomes your starting point. You can showcase your book, a description of your book, your author description, some interesting things about yourself, share important links and share your contact information and where and how book lovers can order your book.
Provided that you can order your books from your publisher at a author's discount. Then you can sell them right from you're authors site and the profits by far exceed royalties.
Your author's media site becomes your online worldwide business card. It is where people can find you, read about your book, you as the author, about local book signings and whatever other interesting information and content you provide. Without your own personal website, or authors blog, your just another book and author among the millions and millions found online.
Some author's join every book club they can find, sign every guest book they can and join other author communities hoping that this will bring book sales. However, in the end, this usually proves to be a lot of work with very little results.

Choosing The Right POD Publisher
There are many POD Publisher's out the that offer various publishing packages to author's. Some of them have some very attractive sites with endless pages to take in that offer lots of information. I have spend endless hours reading all the content on many POD Publisher's sites. That's a lot of reading and by the time you get to reading the publishing contract, things can get somewhat confusing.
Let me encourage you to take you're time when choosing a POD Publisher. Take the time to read "all" the content on the site, all the pages and do comparisons with other POD Publishers. There are some great POD Publisher's out there that offer some great publishing packages.
Do you're homework, find the right publisher for you, and get the best deal. Most importantly think things through from start to finish to make sure that the POD Publisher that you choose fits into you're overall vision and objective for you as a author and you're book.

Finding Great Books At Great Prices
With the holiday season soon coming, what a great time to get some great books and catch up on some reading. There's nothing better than a warm fire on a cold winter evening, a cup of java and a great book to read.
I use many online book stores to search for great books at great prices. From Amazon to Barnes & Noble to simply performing searches online. Another great place to look for books is Deal Oz

Too Many Ideas In The Pot
Ideas are great, however too many ideas are like confusion springing forth. For example if you have four great projects in the frying pan, let em cook until there done. Don't throw 10 more projects in the same pan, you'll just burn everyone out. Focus is more than a saying. It must be applied, walked out and tried. Focus is not hocus pocus, it's focus.
It's better to stay the course and to stay focussed than to end up with a can of marbles that just make a lot of noise. After a while, no one will want to hear the marbles rattling around.

Leaving Those Yesterday Behind
Life is full of memories and we all have memmories that we cherrish. However, sometimes life also comes with memories that we would prefere not to ponder. Hopefully we all have learned lessons from those seasons and memories.
It's important to be about moving forward and leaving some of our yesterdays behind us. For we never want to become stuck in the quicksand of bad memories and the cards that life sometimes deals us. For today and tommarrow brings new challenges and victories to be won.

Quiting Out Of Fear Of Failure
There's nothing worse than starting something and falling short. Failure comes with fruit and the taste of that fruit is not sweet. It's one thing to fail and from time to time, we can all fail at things. However, to just give up and quit out of fear of failure, well that is a crime. A crime against all those whom believed in you.
Never just quit, especially after chasing after people that believe that rocks speak to them.

Free Cycle Network
Here's a pretty neat site that I came across. It's called the Free Cycle Network. It's made up of 4,808 groups with 6,540,000 members around the world. They say its a grassroots movement of people who are giving and getting free stuff in their own communities. What's cool about it, is it's all about reusing good stuff and keeping it out of the landfills. Great idea! Plus you just might find some really cool items for free ....

She's Wacky & Fun
I guess that would be one definition of my daughters personality. She's wacky and fun. Actually for being almost 5 year old she's a pretty bright kid. You have to over look the Sponge Bob inpersonations though. Funny the things kids do. Anyway she's a blast and I am so thankful to God for such a wonderful daughter.
Children bring joy to our lives, they are blessings from above and they are a special part of all our lives. We should all make time and take time to spend quality time with our children. They have so much to teach us and we have so much to learn from them. Like how to enjoy the simplicity of life.

Fear Not
Life can have it's moments, as we all know. Over the past few years we have watched the economy of our country decline. Mortgage problems, home foreclosures, high gasoline prices, the war in Iraq, banking failures and now the the need of a major financial bail out just to save the nation from a potential depression. Things look very bad.
However, America has survived even greater challenges and with God's grace, we will survive what is ahead of us.
May God bless each of you.
