The idea for BookBuzzr came from an author and was based on the challeges he was facing. We'd like to help authors market their books with ease and in this process we are trying to make BookBuzzr better based on feedback.

As to where we are going with BookBuzzr, only time will tell. ;)

If you have specific questions about BookBuzzr or our plans please feel free to ask freya@bookbuzzr.com

I will be glad to be of service.

Cheers
Freya

He's actually in 4 books- one of mine, one of Jack Canfields, one of Dan Poynters and one in our friend Colleen's "Crossing the Rainbow Bridge." She's an animal communicator and wrote a boko about her conversations with animals who crossed over. I think I have her story about our Ming and Pasha on the web site. She's amazing.

Fortunately, we have 4 wonderful cats here now. Three inside we came with and one we inherited with our new house:-) and, of course a managerie of animals in the yard including, in the winter, a peacock! I have to close the garage doors to keep the deeer out:-)

At 12:26pm on August 25, 2007, Colleen Breuning said…: Hi Jim
Thanks for the friendship. I checked out the website you mentioned and read your stories about Ming. How touching! I am so sorry for the loss of your furry human! I know exactly what you mean - my cat Tommy is so smart and entertaining. He talks to me all day long & always has to know where I am. I can't imagine how it will feel to lose him, as he is truly a family member.
Take care,
Colleen

New Publishing Channels Can Breathe Life Into Older Books

As most of you know, one of the biggest challenges in this business is bringing attention to a book that's been out for a while.

Face it, the media is enamored with what's new.

Once a new book has garnered it's 15 minutes of fame, it becomes increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to attract that all important media attention. Of course it can be done, and was executed beautifully a few weeks ago by Shel Horowitz - "he who never lets up":-)

Now, with the addition of new publishing c… Continue

What happens when the customer sets the price?

They pick the lowest price right?

Wrong!

As an experiment (and a way to get some press:-) I set up a page for the ebook edition of my new book Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck - Learn how you can create immediate income now, with 6 different pricing options, ranging from $9.97 down to $2.00. It's a name your price product.

I copied the idea from the band, Radiohead who also did it.

It seemed a cool thing to do for sever… Continue

Small Brag and Celebration

I'm pleased to announce that my publisher in Japan, Discover 21, has just optioned another book from me.

The working title, in English, is "Simple Keys to Creating the Success You Desire" - Practical ideas you can use to achieve the life of your dreams. Of course in Japanese it will be entirely different.

That makes a total of five of my books in Japanese. Strange that I only have two here in the US:-)

Odd business, the book game:-)

BTW, If you're not looking at foreign markets for your book… Continue

My latest contribution to the information age:-)

I have just released a new home-study program to help people earn more money and keep more of what they earn.

The program Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck takes an in-depth look at money and wealth. First, from the psychological aspect, exploring issues such as beliefs about money, money habits, where they come from and the conditioning that drives a person’s money behavior.

Then it explores the specifics like savings, debt and debt reduction, in… Continue
