    In what language to write?

    PUBLISHING 
    As with most decisions, this one has several variables. Time vs. Correct Grammar vs. Cost. Will an additional 24 hours hurt? I don't know if @Daniel M.'s articles are time sensitive or not. Who is the audience? Poor grammar may not even matter.

    I agree with the others, #3. Your English is good but needs a proof reader. Over time, your English writing will get better.

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Gary's 30-day challenge starts on page 65 of the letters (on the PDF). Working on the assumption he wanted me to read the letters up until that point, I stopped there. However, I go back to the letters in between books. Currently waiting on The Lazy Man's Way To Riches to arrive in mail, so I am...

    Yes. They may also have shipping discounts not available to you. Plus they are buying item in bulk, so the the cost is a little less than you. Can you get cheaper shipping? If I recall correctly, you are in US (your profile doesn't have location). What is the shipping weight including all...

    EXECUTION 
    Everyone here knows that but will the person hearing Saturday's show on air know that? Wouldn't a quick mention of the information contained in the SBA show be similar to linking to other content on a blog?

    I use a mom and pop place, but I believe the UPS store offers the same. Some things to check for: 24 hour access. They give you a key to front door allowing access to the box area. You can pick up stuff that fits in the box anytime and they leave you notice if an item too big for the box...

    EXECUTION 
    I did not mean to say you should break any of their rules. External links are generally a no-no but there are always exceptions. I believe eBay allows a link on your "about me" page. There are no rules against you including a flier for your website when shipping out sales. You are allowed to...

    eBay and Amazon can be used as sales funnel to your website. The listings can have your "brand name" on them. Any sales from eBay or Amazon will include a flier to your website. You don't lose your lose your brand just because you use eBay or Amazon as a sales channel.

    I made a typo in the reply to problem 2. The last the sentence should not have said open an online account. Either one will do.
