    More and more people are choosing the sidewalk?

    Phd's are rewarded for their hard work by now having the chance to be part of an adjunct faculty. I've known a few people over the years that work as adjuncts and when you calculated the hours they had to work to teach classes, prepare for classes, hold office hours and grade work they were...

    More and more people are choosing the sidewalk?

    I saw this article tonight and it was counter-intuitive to what I thought would actually be happening with job stability declining and big companies showing less concern for their employees. I'm curious to see what analysis Nate Silver's crew give to this in a future article...

    Made barely anything from erotica, any advice?

    PUBLISHING 
    I think the big problem with selling novels as opposed to non-fiction books is that non-fiction books generally address a need and seek to fulfill it. I want to lose weight - buy a diet book that promises I'll lose weight. I want to get start a business - buy a book that promises you riches...

    Made barely anything from erotica, any advice?

    PUBLISHING 
    I just took a look at your catalog and I agree with Biosphere, you need to make your titles more provocative and you need to be a little less coy in your copy. Or if you want to keep the coyness than add the warning a lot of Amazon erotica books have, something like "For Mature Audiences...

    Made barely anything from erotica, any advice?

    PUBLISHING 
    I don't know what your stories are or how you have them listed on Amazon but if they get tagged as being for adults-only they aren't going to be easy to find by users if they aren't looking specifically for your titles. A couple of years ago it was a lot easier to write this kind of stuff and...

    Misleading book title and cover?

    PUBLISHING 
    Publishing it is easy, you just have to have your text formatted correctly and you upload it and viola you have an ebook available for anyone in the world to buy. Marketing the book is the tough part.

    Misleading book title and cover?

    PUBLISHING 
    Then that's what you need to be pushing, that this book has training techniques that none of those other books or programs have. Figure out a way to get that message across on the cover and in everything you say or do about the book.

    Misleading book title and cover?

    PUBLISHING 
    What's going to make your product different than all the other 'warrior' workout books and programs that are out there? Why would I pick your book instead of the trainer who got the actors in shape for 300? Or some ex-Navy Seal, or a big name MMA trainer? Or cross-fit?

    Misleading book title and cover?

    PUBLISHING 
    I think this might be a niche where a photograph of an actual person who the reader would believe had gotten their results from this workout would be better, maybe superimposed over a gladiator/spartan picture to give it this kind of brand recognition? The type of covers you have might work if...

    Misleading book title and cover?

    PUBLISHING 
    Is that image from 300? I think the idea for the cover is better but having the two images might be somewhat distracting and your name is getting lost in the image. Even if no one knows who you are, yet, make your name big and readable so it looks like someone who has the confidence of a...

    Misleading book title and cover?

    PUBLISHING 
    The cover looks more like something for a novel than an exercise book and the font color is so close to the dominant color in the image the words don't immediately jump out. It took me about half a second to realize what I was looking at. The first things that popped into my head when I saw...

    No network? No money? No idea? No education? NO PROBLEM!

    GOLD! IDEA 
    I thought this might be a neat little trick to help people find email address for CEOs and other decision makers if you are trying out some of the ideas in this thread. I played around with it for a few minutes tonight and it worked: https://rapportive.com/

    Even Dane Maxwell Would Be Amazed - Creating A SaaS Business with NO Money Like In The Foundation

    I'm curious if you might have more luck talking to the office manager for a doctor, they might have more of a pulse on what the business side of the practice is.

    I laid out an ad in html. I figured that is the equivalent medium for today.

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I started copying some more ads by some other masters that Gary didn't include. I just finished writing this one out by hand http://infomarketingblog.com/images/IndustrialAdvertising.jpg The ad was written by Ogilvy & Mather, it was basically an ad for themselves that ran in The Wall Street...

    A summer experiment at hustling

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks! It's not fast-lane. Maybe closer to being fast-lane than being paid a set amount per hour at a job but you still can't fully leverage time in your favor. There is also no exit strategy or liquidation event. Maybe you could turn this into yet another ebook about how to make money...

    A summer experiment at hustling

    EXECUTION 
    I haven't yet. This has been a kind of sporadic thing for me, some evenings I'll remember to look through craigslist. When I think of how little time I've spent on this and still have made a few hundred dollars it makes me wonder what the results would be if I got into a daily habit of...
