www.ideasiteforbusiness.com/direct.htm wasrepparttar most frustrating, but I was impressed withrepparttar 108934 support system. After entering my ad (they’re actually releases) and allrepparttar 108935 required information,repparttar 108936 page would not submit regardless of how many times I tried. I e-mailed them and shortly after received an e-mail apologizing that their database was down. The writer, Mary Gillen, asked me to replicaterepparttar 108937 ad in an e-mail, which I did. She couldn’t have been nicer if I were a paid customer, even e-mailing a thank-you. There are 40 free categories (and 80 for business advertising) but none for travel, so I chose “Pets/animals.” My book has so much information on pet-friendly lodgings and pet stores that I wrote a press release geared to pet owners and submitted it. If you don’t find a fitting category, think about how you can relate it to an available category. For instance, there’s no category for car dealers, but dealers who provide parking and storage and have news about them can choose that category. Or perhapsrepparttar 108938 dealer is also a musician – there’s a category for music/vocals/instruments. It’s worth checking out. http://books.dreambook.com/profitpoint/pressreleases.sign.html is entitled “Las Vegas Comp Getaway’s Free Press Release Announcement Site.” It’s easy to navigate but hard to know whatrepparttar 108939 site’s all about, except thatrepparttar 108940 host, Dreambook, does web hosting. You get as much space as you need andrepparttar 108941 releases appear immediately, but I can’t help thinking that no one will read it. For one thing,repparttar 108942 releases run into one another. Also, there is no way to edit them or anyone to contact.

Are you in real estate, lending or banking? www.mortgagemag.com accepts all types of releases pertaining to those industries.

So how did these freebies pan out? PR Web provides a record of hits to contributors who pay $10 or more. In less than a week, according torepparttar 108943 stats, my release was read three times (probably by me); it was picked up by a media outlet four times, forwarded to a third party seven times and printed nine times. Whether these numbers are considered good, or whether my book will sell more copies, is anyone’s guess. The keyword here is “luck.”

What You MUST Know BEFORE Publishing Your First Ebook

Written by John A. Karnish


Continued from page 1

The main software for creating .pdf files is Adobe Acrobat. While you can create an ebook withrepparttar same features, I find it to be a little harder to figure out. I admit that I am not very good when it comes torepparttar 108933 techie. So if you have more technical computer experience than I do you might enjoy Acrobat more.

The plus side is that Adobe Acrobat actually has more features than most .exe publsihing software. If you're willing to devoterepparttar 108934 time and studyrepparttar 108935 software it can do some amazing things like leaving hidden notes for your readers.

Besides creating an ebook in .exe or .pdf format, you can always just create a collection of.html pages and place them all in a folder to be downloaded. Create an index page and link your other pages to it. This will allow just about every computer user to access you publication and you don't even need any software.

Well, you might be wondering which software is right for you? I would recommend investingrepparttar 108936 money in Adobe Acrobat. It createsrepparttar 108937 one format that almost all computer users can read. However it is very pricey, especially for entrepreneurs on a tight budgets.

There is some very good .exe software that is much cheaper and is a very good option for those with limited incomes.

No matter which you choose, I would create a publication that Mac users could read. Create a version in .pdf and .exe format so Mac owners can read your work and PC users can choose their preferred format.

If you can't create a .pdf version at least offerrepparttar 108938 ability to downloadrepparttar 108939 work on a collection of webpages. You might want to offer it at a discounted price so they don't feel cheated. Also be sure to put a copyright symbol atrepparttar 108940 bottom of your pages to scare off plagiarizers.

If you search some JavaScript sites, you probably can find a script that will prevent other people from viewing your source code or copying your webpage text. This might be helpful in combating plagiarism if you plan on offering a folder full of plain .html files for download.
