    @Berliner030 I started looking into the physical-print side of things, and naturally ran across CreateSpace. Any thoughts on pros/cons of that avenue, other than the relative ease of doing it? I'm also wondering about the advantages or disadvantages of buying custom ISBNs, or if that even...

    Thanks for the advice. Interesting about paperback, I will explore that one. Re: price, I guess the only way to find out is to experiment with it. Lots to think about here, much appreciated.

    Gym in the morning nutrition

    Ok guys, I should have couched that one as "this is my opinion." As long as we're so certain, let's throw some links around and help the OP out. Depends on the protein source, and a bunch of other factors...

    Gym in the morning nutrition

    I used to have a similar routine. I agree with the previous posters, it is better to work out on an empty stomach, particularly if weights are involved. Here is what I did: Take two shakers: one with your pre-workout drink (creatine-based or whatever). This is already mixed, drink it 30 mins...

    Back for another update. Since my last post, I enrolled in KDP select and have been hard at work doing blog postings and trying to boost my social networking skills. Thanks to a well-known person in the field giving me a bump (and me giving him a public thanks) I am starting to see a few more...

    Update: this past week, I experimented with more Facebook-based ads, but I was not seeing results that I wanted (probably due to my own challenges with writing copy). That experiment is not over, but I shifted gears and enrolled in KDP select (@ChickenHawk :-) .....) to see how that goes. I...

    Latest dashboard below. These are almost entirely sales from people that I know. They also don't seem to want to post Amazon reviews despite giving me positive feedback verbally :-( Still doing homework on that dreaded thing called "marketing". One of the folks that is pretty successful on...

    Update on this thread....last week I ran a facebook "promotion" to see whether I could generate page-likes to the book facebook page. I ran it for three days, filtered by certain countries and heavily filtering by interest area (all technical or software related fields). That exercise...

    So, holding my nose for a moment...I am not a marketing person either... I'm thinking of it as something of a social experiment.
