Early May is launch. This week is start to test. Will also need some beta testers. @Awakened2022 expressed desire to perform this.It is possible. I believe it is possible. Or early next week.
Had to reason out with my partner concerning moving fast. Gave him some evidence and he took some hours to ruminate it then agreed of his own accord. And he saw ealy May as doable. Now busy working.A few days. If not a week and some days. The material in terms of content is already there. Almost everything. The approach to design is clear.
Will post a link to Google Docs file of something like a chapter and give viewer rights. By end this week.My son is in Senior Four. Tag me when you need a beta reader. Good luck. I might become your first sale.
Keep us posted.He will be home for the holidays early next month. My offer as a beta reader still stands unless picking coffee gets in the way.Posting on the forum can sometimes be an action fake. But I think taking too long say anything makes it look as though nothing is happening. Which is not 100% the case.

Working early morning. Between lessons and late evening.
Partners cannot be left behind.
I know the time promised up there is elapsed. But we agreed to release or launch early May. Had to convince my partner against delaying till late mid year.
Had to reason out why some things won't add any value to a quick rapid progress revision book. The book is designed to make someone work their a$$ till they brand something on their brains. And ace it in exam.
Will post a link to Google Docs file of something like a chapter and give viewer rights. By end this week.
I believe your son if he makes a good job of this material will ace really great.

Someone may give feedback on the material. It is designed strengthen practice for developing proficiency while preparing for the standardised exam at end of cycle. @Awakened2022 may be very useful. Others may check it too.Hey Fastlane family
Today I did a random test on the material I have developed on the active and the passive voice in English.
I was helping one of the girls polish her spelling. She is struggling to spell the letter.
Then I requested her to check one of the document and she chose the one that has the active and passive voice.
She the choice because she said she had never passed the active and passive voice before.
On reward the one to two pages, she was on an exercise and I asked her to respond to it. She aced the first 2 numbers with ease. Yet the next numbers exposed a loophole in her understanding that I had to correct.
She passed it for the first time. And exposed a problem immediately, which was corrected promptly. She appreciated it.
I believe if she were given more time with the material she would have mastered the aspect easily.
Here is a link.

My Headmaster pledged his support and sort of offered to make all students own a copy.
My partner's Headmaster made a similar pledge.

A good one here. Will go check it out.Also, if you didn't intend the overall tone to be conversational, the word sure might be overused
Something to really consider. Very very serious. Errors must not be there. Got to sweep them out.The document could do with a bit of editing by a third party since some of the errors might escape your eye.
Well done. My partner was in the same situation last week. I am in a school with lower numbers and finished pretty quickly.I am busy marking the end-of-term exams, and as soon as I go to the village(then I will have time on my hands), I will go through the document with a tooth comb.
Well done for that. And thanks for giving time and knowledge on this thread.Congrats on taking action. I am also working on my fast lane project.
"Master English. A complete guide to becoming an excellent speaker"Here are a few potential book title ideas for your book on English language skills for high school students and others:
1. "Mastering English: A Comprehensive Guide for High School Students"
2. "Intermediate English: Strengthen Your Language Skills"
3. "Ace Your English: Strategies for High School Students"
4. "English Essentials: A Guide for Intermediate Learners"
5. "Polish Your English: Techniques for High School Students"
6. "Excellent English: A Guide to Mastering Intermediate English for High School Students."
Titles generated with the help of ChatGPT.
The sixth one was my idea and ChatGPT added a few things.
Thank you. The word "master" seems powerful."Master English. A complete guide to becoming an excellent speaker"
This seems very common.I was wasting time on stuff that didn't matter in order to avoid doing the stuff that did. Don't do that.
Does it really need formatting done by someone else? If you had to make a sale this week would you need a co-author and a book formatter? What's the minimum you can put on the market, this week?Somebody who is to do book formatting asked for 1% of each sale of the book. That's the payment for his work.
We seem to be agreeing with it because it gives a way to start without money, which we actually don't have with liberty.
I also thought it would give us more leverage since he is an alumnus of one great school in the country.
The title adopted is "English Made Easy; A Guide to Mastering English"
My coauthor couldn't work as he had promised. Fell ill and is to start working today.
It worried me. Still worries me.
I added scenarios and sample activities of integration to mostly every grammar aspect and to most comprehension chapters.
I did comprehension chapters based on the themes of the revised curriculum.
This thing is taking too long. It worries me. I read Ready, Fire, Aim by M. Masterson and realised we need to quicken to make sales. Otherwise we are action faking.
Fingers crossed. But I need to get thing out in days. I can't keep loitering as if the world is mine.
Don't get precious about price. Maybe sell it on the cheaper side in exchange for a review? That way she perceives it as a good deal, and writes a review.Someone requested for a copy. She wanted to know the price. I am at a loss on this. The other books are way different from this one. But there prices are between 5$ and 10$ or thereabouts.
I have a hunch this one is better than most of them. Based on what benefits I discussed earlier in the thread. But putting a bizarre price may be self defeating. Putting a very low price may mislead with regard to value.
The price I had in mind is between 10$ and 20$.
I know the market will decide. But the price. The last thing I sold that I remember vividly is sugarcane.
I took this direction because formatting on phone is beyond me. I don't know how it is possible. He has a PC and is very able in using it.Does it really need formatting done by someone else?
I think this works. But then what happens when I want to change the price later? Is that a bridge I will cross when I reach it?Don't get precious about price. Maybe sell it on the cheaper side in exchange for a review? That way she perceives it as a good deal, and writes a review.

What's stopping you?3) If someone had a gun to your head and said you need to make a sale this week then what would you do?
I would launch a new digital product such as an e-book and would let my network know about this.
I'd say your priority is those conversations you're starting to have with people.Looking to get a printer in my city that can help print.
Found two contacts on Google. One communicates well and the other communicates poorly.
The one that communicates well has offered to print a sample for my approval first. The other is determining how much I will pay already.
