Hooked On Books? Write A Book Review For Your Target AudienceWritten by Bonnie Jo Davis
If you are burned out with writing how-to articles to promote your business then consider writing a book review. I recommend you write a review about a book you enjoyed that is related to your products or services. Your review, of course, will be capped off with your 5-6 line byline that includes your contact information and web site URL. Many of article directories, e-zines and web sites that normally accept articles will accept book reviews too. In addition, you can find and submit to many sites featuring book reviews.To begin a review, I start with format required by Midwest Book Review. I then adapt format and word count to what is required by each submission site. Midwest Book Review recommends following format (examples of paragraphs are enclosed in parenthesis): Book Title: Author: Publisher: Publisher Address: ISBN: Price: Publication Date: Page Count: Reviewer Contact Information: Name: Address: E-mail: First Paragraph: Include information about format of book. A nice touch is to comment on cover design, table of contents structure and/or glossary at back of book. (Sample: This beautifully laid out trade paperback has a gorgeous and practical design both inside and out. I recommend you read this book with a highlighter and a pen, ready to take copious notes in blank pages thoughtfully provided between chapters.) Second Paragraph: Detail recommended audience and note why they should read book. (Sample: Manners That Sell: Adding The Polish That Builds Profits should be required reading for high school and college students and for anyone already in business environment. Once upon a time, good manners were taught in school and at home, but that time has long since passed. This book provides perfect refresher course for those of us who learned manners but no longer remember finer points of etiquette.) Third Paragraph: Write about book structure and layout, number of chapters and topics covered. (Sample: While reading this book, I discovered that author, Lydia Ramsey, covered every conceivable point of etiquette including many that I'd never been taught. Each of twelve chapters covers one main topic broken down into digestible bite sized chunks of rules and guidelines to enhance credibility and professionalism. Topics include first impressions, greetings and introductions, art of conversation, dressing for business, telephone courtesy, electronic etiquette, correspondence in business, etiquette in office, gift-giving in business, etiquette out of office, dining for profit and doing business internationally.)
| | Three Ways Flat Rate Conferencing Can Help Grow Your BusinessWritten by Tom Parker
There is no question that teleconferencing is revolutionizing way that people do business, both on Internet and offline.Internet marketers, coaches, consultants, counsellors, major corporations, even Sunday School teachers are using teleconferencing to stay in contact with their staff, clients, potential customers, and classes without having to set up a meeting place. Teleconferencing has also added a new dimension to way people can teach and deliver information over Internet. Seminars and classes can now be held for hundreds of people at same time without having to leave their homes. With a preset date and time, people can call a number and either learn more information about a topic or participate in a forum of discussion. Charges for admission to these types of calls can be anywhere from $20 to $30 up to $100's of dollars for typically one hour. Three Ways To Boost Your Income And Grow Your Business Teleconferences can lead to an amazing growth in your income, and credibility as an expert on a given situation. You can also ADD more to your conferencing by utilizing flat rate conferencing. Flat rate teleconferencing is simply setting up an account for unlimited monthly conference calls for a set rate. By doing so, marketers are seeing exponential growth in both their reach of new customers and as a byproduct, their income. In watching this use of flat rate telenconferencing among individual marketers, corporate executives, coaches, and consultants I have singled out three ways that flat rate conferencing can lead to added growth and income. 1. Talk As Much As You Want. Typically average conference call would last for one hour. But, there are times when conversation, and/or, meeting would take on a whole new life and 60 minutes just isn't enough time. But, either call is cut off or host has to pay extra charges.
