First time authors just don’t know what they don’t know. Learn and be better prepared to maximize your potential for book sales and publishing success. Here are the top ten things we find that are most likely to sabotage that first book effort:1. No book development, publishing and market planning – Rookie authors believe they must run when the creative muse calls and ignore the reality of what it really takes to successfully write, publish and market a book. If you want to write a journal or a blog, then keep going down that path. But if you want to write a book that sells more copies than to ten to your family and friends, learn all the steps to the journey to successful author. Besides your time, it takes money, and it takes focus, so to keep from wasting time and money, set out a plan, stick to it, and you will be rewarded for your efforts.2. Writing for themselves, not their audiences – There is virtually no other industry which tries out so many new products each year without any idea of whether they will work or not, no focus groups, no beta testing, just poor sales results as market research. Rookie authors write what they want to write and not what their audiences need and want. There are ways now to research topics, and one of the simplest ways to start is by checking out the bookstore and Amazon.com to see what is out there now, and what should be.3. Confusing us with an unclear message – Again, the muse strikes and authors take off running in every direction at once, generally trying to cover as many random ideas as they can in writing a book. Savvy authors create one, two or three core messages and stick to them, building a case with statistics, stories and examples to prove their points. Knowing what your point is makes it a lot easier to get media interviews, too.4. Inadequate editing and not bothering with a peer review – If you’ve never written a book before, you need a lot more help than you may think to create a polished manuscript. Are there non-fiction books you just love? They have all been generously edited, and your masterpiece should be, too. And after a thorough edit, you must throw yourself to the mercy of your colleagues and ask them to have their way with your book. You need professional feedback, and if you pass muster, then you have a book worth publishing.5. No index – Why would anyone leave an index out of a non-fiction book? Rookie authors get so tired by the time they finish that first manuscript that they just want it out. They forget the reader will need to find what you’ve covered in the book without having to read their pithy sentences from cover to cover. An index is the mark of a pro, and you will reveal your amateur status if you don’t provide one.6. No clear positioning and not even the beginnings of an author platform – Unfamiliar with these terms? A positioning statement helps you see what your audience wants to read on your subject and what else is out there so that you come up with something new and right on target. The author platform is the breadth of your network to sell books, and you should start working on both before you write word one of your book.7. An amateur book cover – Pros can tell a self-published book a mile away. Rookie authors don’t hire real cover designer, but have the neighbor or their best friend do the cover on the cheap. You may save money here, but it will be an expensive lesson when you have hundreds of books boxed in your garage because the lack of professionalism of the cover lead people to the same conclusion about what was in the book.8. No testimonials or endorsements – Books are sold by personal recommendations, and testimonials are your way of proving you have them. Put your testimonials on the top of the back cover where they can’t be missed by potential customers. The only reason a rookie author doesn’t have testimonials is because he or she couldn’t find anyone who was willing to vouch for the book, or because he or she didn’t know enough to ask someone to write one before the book is published. Either way, a serious mistake.9. No database of potential customers – If you want to be published by a traditional publishing house, or want to self-publish successfully you must develop a large (2,000 minimum and 5,000 better) database of people who might be interested in doing business with you and are likely to be the target audience for your book. If you start collecting names on your website a month before your book is to come out, then your book will be old by the time you have a personal way to sell it.10. No online media kit – The New York Times called and wants to review your book in tomorrow’s paper because the subject is exactly the same as their over-the-fold story. But you haven’t figured out that opportunities knock when they knock, not when you’ve had time to plan for them. If your media kit isn’t available online, and packed with just what they need, they will find an author who hasn’t made another rookie mistake.An author's assistant can be a beneficial asset to your team. An author's assistant can help you manage all the activities associated with marketing your book. CMB Virtual Assistants are recognized as an author assistant firm. The experience of working with authors has afforded CMB Virtual Assistants the knowledge and expertise on handling book promotions, getting published, and reviewing the manuscript.Contact CMB VA (info@cmbvirtualassistants.com) to see how the partnership can be beneficial for you and your writing.Information provided by Authorsmart.com, 2006

WHY AREN'T SISTERS TALKING ABOUT AUTISM?

I am a mother of two. One going on 13 who has been diagnosed with PDD-NOS with characteristics of Asperger Syndrome. It took me almost 10 years to get a diagnosis. Some of the reasons being having no knowledge, having no network or support, doing years of personal research on my own and most of the doctors we visited knowing less about autism than I did. During the 10 years of personal search and research I've met a lot of really helpful and wonderful people. However, only two of these individuals were black. I found and still find it amazing how none of the black people I know or interact with whether in a personal or business setting know very little if anything at all about autism. I've met and networked with many individuals who have helped me along the way to find out information, resources, my legal rights, programs, etc. None of them black. I'm sure there has to be many black families dealing with this disorder. Why are we not talking about it? Having family members with autism spectrum disorders is a mountainlike challenge. We need all the help and support available. Also being able to exchange information, resources and support with individuals who have similar cultures and experiences is very helpful and comforting.I also notice there are not many black organizations or support networks available to families with autism. I've observed the network, support and commraderie amongst the associates I've garnered, who are not people of color. They really work hard to help their children lead quality lives as best they can. They are avid researchers and share information with one another. They're not waiting for someone to do the work for them, they are rolling up their sleeves and creating outlets, programs and experiences for their children. I'm not saying that black women are not. I'm just asking where are they?I see many black individuals in the entertainment business who have children with autism spectrum disorders who are taking a very active role and voice about autism, and looking for ways to assist and support. I've also found one organization, runned by a black attorney in Atlanta, www.specialneedsnetwork.com. However, being an avid researcher the silence amonst the black community is almost deafening.Why aren't black women/mothers talking about autism? I'd like to know. I'd like to network with other women of color who care for children with autism and to be of assistance by sharing what I've learned.CHECK OUT MY BLOG: BLOG.SISTERSTALKINGABOUTAUTISM.COM

Selling On Social Networks -7Day eCourse for BeginnersSome entrepreneurs think social networking is profitable and others think it’s pointless. The ones who don’t do it are either making good money doing ‘other stuff’ or they’re upset because they can’t get social networking to work for them. As someone who makes good money social networking, let me give you a few good reasons why social networking isn’t pointless and how it can be very profitable for you. When you think about the fact that every show you watch and practically every friend or family member you have is on Facebook, Youtube, or Twitter… what does that tell you? People are social networking more and doing everything else less. They are watching less tv, their reading fewer magazines and newspapers and that means that if you want to reach more people, more customers, you’ve got to tap into the profit potential of social networking. Print media is out, social networking is in and it's free, which is all the more reason for you to learn how to profit from it while you still can. If you just sit back and look at the entrepreneurs scrambling to join a ton of networks, you might think the profit simply comes from sharing your business link with as many social friends as you can, but it doesn’t. Truth be told, only a handful on people know how to profit from social networking because most people are doing it wrong. The easiest way to profit from social networking is to spend money advertising on popular social networks OR to spend time figuring out how to profit the no-cost marketing way. If you are like me, investing thousands in advertising isn’t an option, so your only option is to utilize these free spaces the right way. The secret is simple. Think of social networks as free media outlets where you have access to thousands of potential customers. Initially your job is NOT to get those people to buy; it’s to get THEM to notice You and when they do notice you… that’s when the magic starts to happen. I doubled my profits in a matter of months by meeting the right people on the right social networks. I made a few mistakes and made a lot of money, so I can honestly tell you how this ‘STUFF’ works if you want to know. Take my 7 Day ecourse, “Selling on Social Networks.” It is filled with eGuides and social networking training videos that you can watch online.

Cutting to the Chase has received a rave review! Come check out the review and if you haven't picked your copy, it isn't too late!Blurb:Ashley Bennett is a physical therapist burnt out from the job because of all of the rich, spoiled patients she has had to put up with.

Unfortunately things don't go as she planned. Upon stopping by the hospital where she started out in physical therapy, she runs into her old mentor. While there her help is enlisted for a patient who needs her expertise. When she finds out the new patient is Christopher Morgan, her world is sent into a tailspin. She and Chris have a history. They have been friends since the age of five and she had kept a secret from him. It is a secret that could rock the foundation of their friendship. She is in love with him.Christopher Morgan feels like he is having the worst luck in the world lately. His mother is an awful meddlesome matchmaker distracting him from being able to find the woman of his dreams on his own. It only gets worse when his horse training session goes awry and he ends up in the hospital. To top it all off he is told his new physical therapist is Ashley Bennett, his childhood friend and woman he has secretly been in love with for years. He had no idea she was back in town but now that he does he doesn't plan to let her go.Happy Reading!Stephanie Morris

Hi all-

This is such a great network. I am enjoying this throughly. Please add me as your friend. I am not a black woman outside, people that know me well always say I am a black woman stuck in a white body :)God Bless you all :)RuthiePS I loved listening to Gladys Knight talking on Michael Jackson, Only God is the judge..He was so talented and His life was unique. My prayer is that in his death, many will consider their own God-given gifts and talents and let the Lord develop them. Michael was about perfection and his work showed it. He was the Elvis of my generation.

TRAVEL AGENTS ALERT!!!!!!!

AN OPEN LETTER TO YTB AND ALL MLM TRAVEL AGENTS From Peter Stilphen, MCCEmail: liberty3675@embarqmail.comhttp://www.oxadox.com/article/Straight Talk Concerning The Travel Agent Distribution System.NO LONGER DO BUSINESS WITH YTBHello Fellow Travel Professionals,Welcome to my newsletter where I discuss the travel agent distribution system with straight talk, sometimes with humorous thoughts and sometimes down right provocative.Consumers are a little more savvy which also contributed to the downsizing of companies like Global Travel International and putting a hurt on the likes of YTB, Traverus or World Travel Ventures.TRUE which provided a code that identified the travel agent to the supplier. It was very helpful at the beginning as it helped many travel agents get started in the business. Although there was no guarantee to the supplier that the code holder was a well trained travel agent, it did provide a potential contact.TRUE is a for-profit entity with its revenue not necessarily being utilized for additional training and education as is the non-profit entities of IATAN and CLIA. I believe that the profits from travel photo ID cards should in some manner accrue to the benefit of travel agents and not to possibly line someone's pockets.If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck, I would say it's a "card mill" in a duck suit I think it's time for TRUE to end the hypocrisy and come out of the closetOUR MONTHLY LIST OF THE MOST NOTABLE BUMS IN THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY If you find that I am incorrect in listing one of these companies, I will do a retraction in the following issue.

Putting The Buzz In Your Business By Shyra Smith

Putting The Buzz In Your Business By Shyra SmithShyra's clients are treated like they're famlily!She takes your baby and treats it like it's her very own! She believes there is a solution to every problem and excuses won't allow you to resolve them. Shyra's coached many on how to overcome obstacles in their life in order to bring their dreams to reality. It's time to live the life that you really DO want and stop allowing yourself to stay around the toxicity that is keeping you from making YOU happen!Happy Miraculous Monday, October 22!There are different types of people. Those who let life happen to them, those who persevere in life, and those who shape their life into what they want it to be. Now before you resign yourself to being one of the former two, I want you to know that the difference between these types of people is all in the mind and you can shape these thought patterns to make your dreams a reality.Where to begin? First and foremost is prayer. Pray for a clear understanding of what your purpose in life is and ask God to align your actions with His will for your life. Your hopes and dreams don't just spring from nowhere, but they have a definitive source, and that is from the Creator.Each and everyone of us has a purpose in life, find that purpose and your life's direction will suddenly become clear. Notice I said clear, it doesn't mean it will become easy, but you will notice that you suddenly have so much more energy to pour into the pursuit of your goals.With each passing day, you must remind yourself that you're getting closer to your destination. Keep note of the little victories and never accept failure as final. A setback is simply another chance to try again. Train your mind to go where you want it to go, instead of saying and thinking, "I want to be successful", you must replace that with, "I will be successful."Speak faith words and it will manifest itself in your life. I know these things and I can say these things because I am proof. I have always had a desire to help people and throughout my life I naturally gravitated towards roles that enabled me to do so. This was all well and good, and it was even spiritually rewarding, but I still felt that I was missing something. That something was what led to the creation of The Black Scroll.check this book out nowPutting The Buzz In Your Business By Shyra Smith
