			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to megasites like Amazon and Barnes and Noble, many wannabe writers are turning to self-publishing to realize their dreams. They don&#8217;t have to wait for large publishing houses to dole out contracts to them. Not only can they self-publish their books very easily, they get to keep most of the profits as well. And the kicker is, they don&#8217;t have to sell nearly as many copies to make a good living.</p>
<p>When one freelance writer was asked how and why she managed to publish 50 ebooks on Amazon in just 12 months, she responded:</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been writing and selling ebooks online since 2004. Once Amazon made it so much easier to self-publish, I quickly realized the revenue potential and jumped on the bandwagon. I published my first ebook on the site in December 2010, and got my first sale a few days later. </p>
<p>After experiencing this success, I was hooked because I knew that it just a matter of writing and publishing more ebooks to learn more money. So, I set a goal to do just that and in 2011, I published 50 ebooks in one year. My earnings are increasing and within 24 months, I fully expect to be earning in the mid-four to low five figures per month.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you want to write and sell ebooks online, it&#8217;s easier than ever to do so. Following are the exact steps to take.</p>
<p>How to Self-Publish Your Ebook on Amazon: 5 Simple Steps </p>
<p>1. Write: Many wannabe writers never even get past this step. So, set a timeframe within which you will commit to simply getting your book done.  </p>
<p>2. Create a high-quality, professional ebook cover: Covers sell and too many self-published authors overlook this all-important step. Don&#8217;t! FYI, it&#8217;s very easy to create amazing, professional-quality covers using ebook cover creation software. There are many affordable options available. Simply conduct an online search for some good ones. </p>
<p>3. Convert file using Mobi software: This is just a software that converts your file from MS Word, for example, into the type of file it needs to be in order to upload it to Amazon. FYI, this software (Mobi) is free. </p>
<p>4. Write a detailed description page: This is the page that tells potential buyers what your ebook is all about. It is a critical selling tool &#8211; one too many self-published authors don&#8217;t take full advantage of. On Amzaon, you get approximately 4,000 characters for this page; use as many of them as you can. Don&#8217;t skimp here. </p>
<p>5. Upload to Amazon: Once your file is converted, all you do is upload it via Amazon&#8217;s interface. This is one step &#8211; extremely easy! That&#8217;s it. It only takes about a day (if you&#8217;re in the U.S.) for Amazon to make your ebook live on the site so customers can buy it.</p>
<p>Selling Ebooks Online: The &#8220;Secret&#8221; to Making Money</p>
<p>The above five steps are easy because once they&#8217;re done, they&#8217;re done. &#8220;Promoting your ebook &#8211; the not-so-secret &#8220;secret&#8221; to making good money selling ebooks &#8212; is where the real work comes in, for it&#8217;s a never-ending process. But, it&#8217;s what leads to sales.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The pen is mightier than the sword, or so they say. I won&#8217;t go into who &#8220;they&#8221; are, nor the truth of the title &#8211; it is just to get your attention.</p>
<p>We in the conservative movement have a lot to say and share, but many don&#8217;t know how nor where to use the &#8220;mighty pen&#8221;.  Many times when we put &#8220;pen to paper&#8221; or rather pound on the key board we are just talking to like-minded people &#8211; we need to get our honest and thought-out message to the masses. That is what this article (blog) is about.</p>
<p>Why!  With all things, ask &#8220;why&#8221;. If what you are doing doesn&#8217;t move you towards your end goals then why are you doing it?  In this case it is simple. If we lose the upcoming elections to non or middle of the road conservative we lose our way of life. We can see the unsatisfactory change all over our nation. </p>
<p>We need to inform people. This should be focused on open minded people who don&#8217;t necessarily think like us nor see what we see. It further helps like-minded-thinkers; we all need reinforcement and uplifting encouragement. Consider it a duty to help the &#8220;uninformed&#8221; and fellow conservatives.</p>
<p>When!  As often as it strikes you!  Yes, you!  And YOU decide when, after all &#8211; you are still free and the 1st Amendment still applies to you.</p>
<p>How!  Write out your thoughts, write it all out and then shorten it.  Short depends on the media you use, see below.  Make sure it is factual, logical, clear and sometimes &#8220;catchy&#8221;.  Reference web links to save space and give more facts &#8211; I have done this, thus links are at the end of this article.  Avoid attacking others; feel free to go after their actions, inactions, blunders, and disagreeable philosophies.</p>
<p>To improve readability &#8211; use simple business writing rules.  Keep it at about an 8th grade level (this ain&#8217;t a college thesis), each sentence should not exceed ten words, and a paragraph should be about three sentences and on one thought/topic.  Get to the point!  You can lose them in the first sentence and for sure the first paragraph.  Don&#8217;t over burden folks and get a proof reader or two.</p>
<p>Where!  First is the traditional hard copy letters to the editor.  Odds of being published are slim with tons of people sending things in, but it is worth a try.  Especially good are small local papers and local topics.  If you have a good one &#8211; send it all over, after all you wrote it, it is great, and everyone across the nation needs to know what you wish to share.</p>
<p>First let me give you a hint on Google-juice. These days, everyone is concerned about SEO (search engine optimization).  Google Juice is the value that the search engine Google gives to your site or article.  The higher the value the more searchers will be drawn to it and thus more readers.  After all, you wrote it and it is great and you want folks to know.  </p>
<p>The rating is based on words used in the content, links to other web locations in the content, popularity of the site/article, readership helps grow the number, and a lot of mystery.  </p>
<p>Google is a liberal owned tool so who knows.  Google-juice is how you get more readers who are searching for a topic.  The SEO brings people to your article/blog.  In short &#8211; if you have a good article post it all over the place. Link to it and from it, and maximize readership.  &#8220;Google&#8221; or Bing &#8220;google-juice&#8221; and learn more.</p>
<p>Emails are one tool to get your word out.  Send your writings to your friends and build an email list.  I have one list that can go downstream to about twenty thousand people &#8211; it is used sparingly.  Don&#8217;t wear people out.  Excessive emails and excessive words cause the receiver to use the &#8220;delete&#8221; key vs reading what you send. Along the same line you should subscribe to some &#8220;lists&#8221; to get good information on various conservative topics.</p>
<p>Blogs &#8211; This is the shortened version of &#8220;web log&#8221;.  The 8th grade definition is &#8211; an article or note placed on the web.  In the old days it would be called a newsletter article, a letter to the editor, or comment on someone else&#8217;s writing.  It can be on your own site, another&#8217;s site, a commercial site, &#8211; just has to be on the WWW &#8211; world wide web.  Some place, any place.</p>
<p>Web page Postings &#8211; Many of our conservative friends/groups have web sites.  Most post articles/blogs on their site.  Get posted on as many web sites as you can.  Include in your blog links to various sites and use links to shorten your article and provide more information and references.  Takes a little effort but if you opinions and writings are of value, it is worth it.</p>
<p>Doc is a conservative grassroots activist and is actively involved in politics. Doc is a leader of the Texas Tea Party Alliance and a TeaParty911.com contributor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The world is round and from this factor, it earned the name globe. From the world globe, several other names relating to the nature of the world have come up. For instance: global economic crisis, global financial crisis, globalization, and even global warming. Globalization has made it so easy for businesses, cultures and even institutions to integrate with each other at the global level all for the name of complementary purposes. In other words, it has enabled the different countries across the world to complement each other through exchange of goods and services. The exchangeable goods may either original or second hand. While original products are usually priced high, second hand products offer consumers and alternative with a bid to consuming various luxury goods that would have been otherwise too expensive for them.</p>
<p>There are several types of second hand products that can be found in the market. Most of these products are usually luxurious products such as cars, furniture, electronics and the like. However, there are some products that at all times must be bought in their original format, are not resalable after use and in most cases, can only be used once. Such products relate to food, and water. Motor vehicles on the other hand, have dominated the world of second hand products over the years. This is mainly because of the luxurious nature of motor vehicles as well as the high price list of cars. The older the car the lower the price during the resale time and vice versa. The price is also based on the mileage on the vehicle, the higher the mileage the lower the price. Most of these cars are usually in very good condition during the point of resale although some of them need to be evaluated in terms of performance to determine the value of the vehicle.</p>
<p>The internet has yet played a very important part in the area of buying and selling of products online and internationally. As we all know the countries complement each other by buying and selling from each other. In the same way, they also complement each other by buying second hand goods from each other. These kinds of trades have been enhanced by use of internet whereby these deals can easily be completed online, and within a day. At the touch of a button one is able to browse different car models, laptops, and other electronic devices that are available for resale after having been used.</p>
<p>When you want to sell your used product online, you need to check at the other available products of the same nature and condition and find out how much they are being sold at. In the same way then you will be able to price your second hand good at the most competitive market price. You only require a webpage inform of either a blog page, or website to display your products. This is a much better way that does not require a garage to gather all your resale products in. unlike physically where you may either end up overpricing or under-pricing your goods, online resale help your determine the most realistic optimum price for your products.</p>
<p>I like very much this tipe of business and offer a great second hand site. Segundamano &#8211; http://todosegundamano.es</p>
