A website has several
key elements that work together for its success, namely design, structure,
content, maintenance, and SEO optimization. As we seek out information the
social standard in today’s society is to Google it, or type in a word or phrase
around what you are seeking. This is the importance of SEO optimization. You
can have the best website in the world but if it is never found, it is
worthless. Design and structure piggyback off each other providing a visually
rich but branded experience when readers visit the site. With the use of any technology,
the backend coding needs ongoing maintenance. Just like the internet, a website
is constantly evolving and requires updates to continue to be up to its highest
value. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">One of the most
effective ways to maintain a high SEO ranking is through regular blogging, or
content creations. By using SEO keywords and phrases strategically placed
throughout posts and when tagging posts is how to continually optimize a site.
Many businesses find blogging to be intimidating in curating content. Dan Zarrella
shared these tips on content creation for blogging: pick a niche and continue
to share relevant news and tips about it, post consistently, mix up length of
your posts, and include media. </span></div>

In order to understand
the ACT method, defined as attract, convert, and transform one has
to have an understanding of online marketing<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"></span>. Online marketing differs greatly than
traditional marketing used over the last few hundred years. With the invention
of the internet, the marketing industry has been presented with more challenges
and more opportunities at the fastest rate ever in the industry.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Unlike in traditional
advertising online marketing is a two-way conversation. Take for example a
commercial, in this the company sends a message that is simply viewed and gets
the product or service seen. In contrast, a blog post with a review of a
product that is shared via social media created multiple outlets for
conversations. Such as in, the comments section of the blog or in response on
the social media threads. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> Social media marketing
is not as fast at getting products, services, and brands in front of people as
it's thought to be. Social media marketing campaigns that are successful are
those with long terms goals and quarterly reviews that understand they are
cultivating relationship. It's not about a one way conversation like
traditional marketing. It's a two way conversation. How do you feel when no one
listens to you?</span></div>

God help us. My good friend </span><a href="http://stonehouseink.net/"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0a91c8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Aaron Patterson</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
once posted up a comment on Facebook about this: what’s it take to sell
your book (basically)? I mean, some of us are selling and some of are
not, and it’s not as if it’s cut and dried that the nonsellers are
shitty writers. Pardon me, but come on. And there’s plenty of
hot-selling total crapola out there. So it’s not simple.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Adding
to the complexity is the free market, which I adore. The rise of the
eBook has been confounding the Big Six publishers today in the same way
that Napster and iTunes changed just about everything in regard to the
music business a while back. Well…when I say everything…the point is
that Bob Dylan was right about how times change, but only insofar as
they don’t really, which was King Solomon’s counterbalancing bit of
sagacity.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Aaron
and I secretly agree that for the business-minded author, the
entrepreneurial, the indie author…pssst: there’s really no need for a
publisher. The dirty little secret is that the Big Six will expect you
to work just as hard for them as if you were going it alone, and in
exchange for that gigantic favor they will be taking about 85% of the
pot, thanks. At least. I personally don’t want to shove against that
wall. Someone else can shove it, if you get my meaning.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

facts, therefore, have been distilled down to these: editing, cover
design, publishing, and marketing strategy. Those are the things that
matter most, and the things that any competent publisher (even if he’s
just a one-man operation, i.e. an indie writer) will spend the bucks on.
Let’s have a look at ‘em one at a time.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Editing
is the process, often painful, whereby you as the author pay large
amounts of cash so that your work can be pulled apart by someone wiser
than thou. It’s also so that you can be emotionally abused about it.
Okay, I’m (mostly) kidding. A great editor will do that so nicely that
you’ll catch yourself saying, “Thank you, sir, may I have another.”
Remember that editing isn’t just spelling and grammar; it’s content, the
creative bits, pacing, character development, plot, and so on. It’s my
personal opinion that the best editors are a one-stop shop. Spelling and
grammar are fixed pretty easily, either by Word itself or by the
conscientious author. Anyway, editors who only do spelling and grammar
are called proofreaders, not editors. And if you’d like to get in touch
with me about</span><a href="http://www.cpwhitemedia.com/freelance-services"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0a91c8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">editing your work</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, please do.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Okay,
covers. Cover design is something at which I suck. Okay, that’s not
fair, but let’s say that a guy struggles when he lacks tools and
experience sometimes. Just being honest. So few authors are double-edged
swords; able to produce literary and graphic excellence. I once posted
on Facebook a cover I did for my novella </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Marsburg Diary,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
alongside another cover that was professionally done, and asked people
to vote. It was something on the order of 20:1 against mine. Not to say
that I can’t learn eventually, but for now, I’ll be leaving it to </span><a href="http://damonza.com/"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0a91c8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">the professionals.</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
I’d counsel you to do the same. It’s almost impossible to spend too
much on a good cover. Don’t be afraid to “focus group” it with your
friends, either.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

Right. That just means that you’re taking your work public. That’s all.
And right now one of the best ways to do that is to convert your Word
.docx to Amazon’s eBook format (mobi) and everyone else’s (epub). And
guess what. Once you pay for the file conversion, there’s no more
overhead, really, and Amazon pays out 70% royalties on eBooks, provided
you’re within a certain price envelope. Plus, there’s always the
possibility that you could learn how to do conversions yourself. I’ll be
covering that next week, so stay tuned. I will warn you right now, if
you want to publish to the iBookstore you either need to own a Mac or
know someone who will let you use one. Apple. Psh. Whatever. You can
easily reach the i-Masses through Amazon’s Kindle store, though, because
there’s a free Kindle app for every device under the sun except the
Nook. Apple. Psh again.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

what of marketing strategy? What about print? What about eBooks? This
is such a loaded subject that I think it might be best to broach it in a
separate blog. And I will. Soon. There are so many opinions on this
kind of stuff, and I have mine, for sure. Mostly, if we’re keeping it
simple, you’ve got to know that all the work you’ve done before this
point will dry up and fall to the earth like something nasty on the
underside of a cafe table if you’ve not got a marketing plan, and a good
one. Also bear in mind that, hello, technology, love it or hate it, is a
very important part of how well you’ll do as far as sales are
concerned. It’s my opinion, and Aaron will back me up on this, that
social media is still a large part of the best marketing plan for an
eBook, and rightly so. Until the sea changes again, Facebook and Twitter
are necessary evils at worst, and powerful tools at best.</span><br />

folks, the marketplace is changing everyday. It’s been that way ever
since uncle Abu was hawking fish in the square in Mesopotamia and
keeping the accounting ledger in Cuneiform. I love to write. In order to
keep doing that, I have to sell the books I produce. While it’s not
rocket science, there are certain requisites. I hope this longish post
helped to illustrate some of those, and also that you’ll be applying
some of these tips to your own journey as a professional. Look alive;
it’s a wonderful time to be a creator and literary artist.</span><br />

you have tried and failed at something, you might not get it. If you’ve
never stood your ground even once and told people exactly what you’re
thinking, you probably can’t relate to what I’m about to say. If you’ve
never tried to create something truly personal, and then taken the huge
risk of allowing people to see it, read it, experience it…then you can’t
know how it feels. If you can’t look yourself in the mirror and say, “I
have something to say,” and mean it, well, you probably don’t know what
I’m talking about.</span><br />

talking about putting yourself out there; in this case as a writer. It
might seem difficult to write a book, especially for those who never
have, and it is. But it’s even more difficult to finish it and let it
go. Out into the wild. Where people are free to love it or hate it. But I
gotta tell you: it’s worth the risk. It is totally worth the risk.</span><br />

Patterson and I released Airel a couple of springs ago. And then we
re-released it last November, with a few improvements. And we have more
improvements in store. That first release was the result of about a
year’s worth of work. Yep. That much. and like I said, work on that
series is ongoing. And as hard as the writing and editing and revising
process sometimes is, it doesn’t compare to how difficult it can be
emotionally to publish the Work—and allow people into what amounts to a
very private inner sanctum: the imagination of the author.</span><br />

As I read through the comments and look at the reviews that are coming
in on the Airel saga, I’m actually stunned. It’s crazy. And I have to
take this moment to thank you, the fans, for everything: buying my
writing, leaving awesomely honest reviews on Amazon, and most
importantly lending me the support I need to continue writing. I could
not do this without my admittedly modest (so far) collection of fans, so
thank you. Here’s to more awesomeness going forward. And here’s to you

to submit for publication: it’s the question you probably wonder about
when you turn out the lights and you’re trying to get to sleep. But it’s
not one very many authors are asking out loud these days, and for good
reason. It’s because of self-publishing. It’s because of technology. We
might assume the world has changed for good. But publishers aren’t going
anywhere. After all, Sony Music weathered the rise of Napster and
iTunes; Harper Collins and Penguin aren’t just going to roll over and
die. So then… you might want to know, after all, “How do I submit for
publication?”</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">My
best answer to the question? Don’t. You’re going to work your keester
off whether you’re independent or traditionally published. The rate of
pay, though, is wildly different. I’ve said it before: You don’t need a
publisher. Not these days. And not, certainly, for what you’ll get out
of making a deal with the Devil, which amounts to about 15% on the high
end, and that’s if Beelzebub likes you. Or if you drive a harder bargain
than Faust. See, publishers used to be able to justify their gargantuan
takes. After all, there was the cost of print, the risk they were
taking, the rent on their palatial Manhattan offices; the whole
enterprise of publishing to begin with. Plus they were the gatekeepers
of the industry. Without a competitive alternative, monopolies tend to
do as they see fit, and to hell not only with the consequences but with
everyone else as well.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

days though, a publisher has pretty much only one purpose: to lend
legitimacy to the work. The way they do that is through a heavy dose of
self-interest: They want to hold the works bearing their imprimatur to a
higher standard. But if you’re enough of a self-starter, legitimacy can
be lent to the work by its success, and you’ll hold yourself to a high
standard all by your lonesome. In other words, you’ll have a more urgent
need for a great editor than you’ll have for any kind of publisher.
And, considering the minuscule amount of practical good it’ll do you to
sign with a publisher, you just might be better off establishing your
own team that includes a literary agent, a social media expert, a
publicist, an editor, a graphic artist, and a marketing genius, because
guess what: even if you’re signed, you still have to learn how to do all
that stuff anyway. And, signed or not, you’ll be doing it yourself, and
on your own dime.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

if you’ve heard all this and you’re still keen on giving away 85% of
your royalties to a big New York company just so they can put their name
on the flyleaf, read on.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

truth is, even Yours Truly has submitted work to be published, and
received the letter of rejection to prove it. It’s a rite of passage.
Though I’ve made a great case for staying independent here, there are
indeed some times when a publisher can be useful, especially if you can
negotiate a workable deal. After all, not all of them take 85% of your
gross receipts. They might even help get your career going, I suppose. I
can only speculate about that, because I’m quite fiercely independent.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

what’s the best way to submit your work to a publisher? You don’t want
to waste your own time, and if you want the publisher to honestly
consider your work on its merits, you sure as hell don’t want to waste
his time. So: As the former acquisitions editor for a small local
innovative publisher, I can tell you I never looked forward to sitting
down and attempting to chew my way through a submission (elementary
grammar and spelling completely aside) that had been written by someone
who hadn’t yet made profound discoveries about himself personally, and
applied it to his writing. But on with the Obvious Rules.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Obvious
Rule #1: Submit according to guidelines. If you can’t be bothered to
read half a Web page on how the publisher wants to receive your work for
consideration, then why should a publisher be bothered to do anything
with your submission but pitch it into the circular file? Usually,
publishers ask for Times New Roman 12pt font, double line spacing, and
that the work be sent as .doc or .docx files—you know, impossible
draconian stuff—but not always. Look at it like a job interview: if
you’re incapable of meeting the minimum stated requirements, why even
try? Move on to something for which you’re qualified.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Obvious
Rule #2: Submit edited work, not a rough draft. Okay. Submissions can
also be like a first date. You want to show up finely groomed, with a
high polish and a pleasant aroma. It boggles the mind that so many
authors submit work that lives in a cardboard box and smells like pee.
Crude, but the comparison is apt. If you have a good story idea and you
know it, but you’re having trouble with spelling and sentence structure
because of public school, don’t submit your work until it’s showered and
properly dressed, having been dragged through a course by </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hooked-Write-Fiction-Grabs-Readers/dp/1582974578/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1360686031&sr=1-1&keywords=edgerton+hooked"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0a91c8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Edgerton</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> and </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Fiction-Writing-Scene-Structure/dp/0898799066/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1360686064&sr=1-1&keywords=bickham+scene+and+structure"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0a91c8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Bickham</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">and </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Several-Short-Sentences-About-Writing/dp/0307266346/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360686001&sr=8-1&keywords=klinkenborg"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0a91c8; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Klinkenborg</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.</span><br />

Rule #3: If you find Obvious Rules #’s 1 and 2 too difficult, you’re
not a writer and you should make yourself useful in some other industry.
If, however, you’re a little hurt but mostly challenged to prove me
wrong by fulfilling to the best of your ability Obvious Rules #’s 1 and
2, then congrats. You’re most likely both called and gifted.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

is like a good hard punch in the face. I’ll tell it like this: When I
submitted my work I was told that it wasn’t ready. I had been working on
it for three years at that point. How did I respond? Well, I got back
to work. I used that criticism to grow. And I put another year into it.
And now it’s far better than it was. I hope you, too can experience
this…when the time is right for you.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

a fine line between faith and presumption, and we cross it at our
peril. If we’re gifted for a certain thing in life—and we know it—we
must tread carefully away from the sense of entitlement. We’re not owed
anything. So go forth boldly into the world and write. If you’re indeed
made for it, you will break through eventually. Signed with a publisher
or no.</span><br />

and that’s because it bears study. A good writer is one who understands
at least the basic elements of plot. For me, plot = characters in a lot
of ways. But for now, plot.</span><br />

good story has a skeleton in good order. If you break out the major
events in any well-written story, you can build an outline around them
(whether the author intended you to do so or not). Sometimes we get a
look at it in disjunct ways, a la </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">LOST</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> or </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The Prestige,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
which are great stories that keep us guessing—but they’re organized
quite well in the final analysis. In other words, whatever happens in
the storyline has a reason for happening (the fictional past) and a
consequence as well (the fictional future). That’s what I mean by a
skeleton in good order.</span><br />

stories have certain elements that are universal, too. It’s been that
way since the dawn of time. If a crowd can relate to part of the story,
they buy in. That’s what Heathcock bangs on about, and with good reason.
It’s called empathy, and you should cultivate the hell out of it. If
your book has it, people buy it. That’s the goal here, folks, and it
doesn’t require selling out or ignoring/forgetting your principles,
contrary to popular belief.</span><br />

a look at any Sherlock Holmes story. I still stand in awe of Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle’s knack for this. I always wonder which part of the story
he wrote first; as if he wrote it inside out and backwards, because how
can anyone write such mysteries? It’s crazy good writing, with lots of
layers, lots of interdependencies; like a combination lock on a safe.</span><br />

the story. And ideally, as we read, we shouldn’t be able to notice the
plot happening. It should feel just like life; like we’re
voyeuristically observing the characters moving through their virtual
world. In other words, a good plot shouldn’t be noticeably fictional.
You’ve gotta have real and believable characters. In other words,
they’re flawed. They have issues. And those issues, which go
hand-in-hand with a good plot, are compounded by the issues that are
created by that plot.</span><br />

are hard to pay in real life, for example. People get divorced and
their kids pay the price in one way or another for the rest of their
lives. Parents raise kids that become psychopathic in spite of their
best efforts to the contrary. Young people get shipped off to combat and
come back changed.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
they come back. Accidents happen. Factions within families grow like a
malignancy. And still the world turns. What I’m saying is that you don’t
have to have some inexplicable time travel event or some impossible
meteor hurtling toward earth in order to write a good story, or even
tell one. You just need something for the reader to hold onto. And
arguably, the closer to home it hits (depending upon a lot of other
variables) the more people will empathize and the more books you’ll
sell. And that’s the goal, if you’re making a living as a writer. And
ironically, the more successful you become, there’s a danger of being
more insulated from good material for inspiration.</span><br />

think that’s one reason why some writers at the beginning of their
careers can produce better work (in the sense of being closer to the
ground) than those who are a commercial success: they draw from real
poignant conflicts through which they have had to live. that’s not to
say Stephen King is an idiot. But Jane Austen was never “discovered” in
her lifetime, and her work is delicious. Perhaps as a result, who knows.
Real people live real lives that are marked and shaped by conflict, and
they will be more apt to enjoy reading stories that have an air of
familiarity, even if the setting is exotic or fantastic. We all want
fiction to feel like the truth at its deepest levels. Remember </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">V for Vendetta,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">where we heard the line, “writers use lies to tell the truth.” Fabulous.</span><br />

writing has certain elements that cause it to be compelling, realistic,
successful. And savvy authors wield these elements like a skilled
craftsman uses his tools. I'm talking about good fiction. Today we're
going beyond the nuts-and-bolts talk, beyond subject-verb agreement,
tense, and even the difference between present participle and gerunds
(which is extremely important stuff), and we're dealing with high-level,
meta-picture kinds of things. Following are a few things Good Writers
know.</span><br />

Every scene must end with some kind of disaster for the protagonist.
More importantly, when it does not, the story is over. Why? Because the
thing that drives Story is conflict. Coincidentally, that's the same
thing that keeps readers turning pages. And it's the same reason reality
TV has been so successful. Why do you think </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Survivor</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> was such a hit?

suppose I should mention here a little about consequence. Truth is
indeed stranger than fiction, and if you look to life for symmetry in
cause and effect, you'll rarely find it. Evil prospers and good often
suffers. Cf. the books of Job and Ecclesiastes. In the best fiction, I
think authors are hypersensitive to all the potentialities of the scenes
they're writing and how they want them to play out in the lives of

remember, too, that when you're writing a scene, it won't necessarily
feel natural to keep your hero from the One Thing (the Story Goal) she's
striving toward. But you must be cruel. And realistic too, and that
goes for all you scifi and fantasy nerds out there as much as it goes
for all you family saga bow tie-wearing spendthrifts, because no matter
where, people are people, whether it's just outside of Alpha Centauri or
somewhere in Yorkshire. Yes, people will be total jerks—or completely
selfless (rarely)—to each other no matter where they are. And that means
there'll be arguments. Sometimes, those arguments are big enough to
produce a story, which segues nicely into my next point.</span><br />

This is much like the age-old Meaning of Life question, in that your

the story-worthy problem is that the little band of strangers has been
cut off from the world by having crashed on an island in a plane, and
further that </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">everyone wants to know how to fix it.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> In any Sherlock Holmes story, the story-worthy problem is usually that something inexplicable has occurred, and further that </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">at least one of the characters is desperate for a solution.</span><br />

that in the paragraph above, I have italicized the second half of
several if-then statements, if you will. There's a reason for this. In
my mind, there's a cause and effect relationship between the
story-worthy problem and what precedes it. See, all great stories start
off showing the protag at rest, at peace, at least reasonably. Then
something </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">happens,</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> and that produces ultimatum, which is a lot like real life.

is the Inciting Incident, and without it, you've got no impetus, no
motive, and the story is dead on the slab, having not even gotten to the
point where a story worthy problem can surface. So I think the </span><a href="http://www.cpwhitemedia.com/the-inciting-incident/"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">Inciting Incident</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
and the Story-Worthy Problem depend on each other. One of them does
come first, and produces the other, but if they stand alone they lose
context, and therefore most of their power.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

While we're talking high level Story here, it's worth mentioning that
there must be a point to it all. some kind of resolution, even if
dissonant. If there's not, your little tale exists in a vacuum, which is
impossible, at least for things that live and thrive. If there's a
working part of a good story that breaks the calm (Inciting Incident),
and another working part that provides motive (Story-Worthy Problem)
even through every kind of setback (Disaster), then there must be a
reason why the protag endures to the end. A goal, then. One worthy of
the story you're telling.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

Frodo, it was to return Middle Earth to a state of peace and rest. For
Neo, the goal was to take down the Matrix. For Jean Valjean, it was to
discover, no matter how much it cost him personally, true justice. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

the goal is reached, the story has climaxed. All that's left is the
wrapup. And that's optional, especially nowadays, with everything being a
saga or a series. Drag things out as long as you like. Just remember to
season it liberally with conflict and consequence, deglaze with hope,
and garnish with at least a little romance.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

I've got to set this up a little here. If you've read this series for
very long, you know at least a little about the difference between scene
and sequel. Scenes are mostly dialogue and action, sequels are mostly
narrative. Sequels don't need an inherent goal; they're just telling a
bit of backstory or developing a character (when I use the word
"developing," it's in the sense of bringing an image into its fullness
on film). Scenes, though, should have a goal.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Scene
Goals are quite different from Story Goals, because they're never fully
realized for the protag. If your hero's goal is to make it to Laramie
before the villain does, perhaps he'll accomplish the Laramie bit, but
he'll be faced with an ambush by the villain. If the hero's goal is to
save the patient's life in the ER, perhaps she does save him, perhaps
she doesn't. Or maybe she saves him, but there are unforeseen
consequences that will begin to play out in the following scene.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

key to a well-executed Scene Goal is to never give your protag total
satisfaction. If you allow that, the story will end and you'll find you
need an all new Inciting Incident, Story-Worthy Problem, and so on. So
write smartly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #262626; font-size: 14pt;">Video marketing has come a long way in recent
years. It is now the fastest growing advertising medium in the world and
certainly the most effective. Since the advent of YouTube and other social
video sites, we have seen an explosion in video, so much so that YouTube is now
the second most searched site on the Internet. This started out as amusing
clips and how-to videos but has quickly extended to being the most effective
way to connect to people. Video marketing lets your audience see and hear you
in ways other advertising just cannot match. You can showcase your products and
services to your consumers in the most effective way.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 20.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #262626; font-size: 14pt;">With social media now consuming large amounts
of people’s spare time, video marketing targets this trend perfectly. You can
share your videos in any number of networks to attain the required level of
online visibility. Videos for websites can quickly become viral and create huge
exposure for your website or product. Another plus is that these videos will
generally be online forever. So while there may be a spike in interest or hype
at the beginning, a well-created video will still be viewed for years to
come. When representing yourself or own product, you must take a
professional approach. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #262626; font-size: 14pt;">Video marketing on websites is at an all-time
high also. Website video intros and outros are more common than not nowadays
and by not having one a business can get left behind. Professional videos
increase sales and traffic and can be used as customer support, saving your
business valuable time answering customer help and support queries. Of course
you want your customer to spend time on your website thus retaining visitors
for a longer duration with professionally created impressive motion graphic
videos. Customers can also get a great feel for your product or service with
online video showcases. The possibilities are endless when it comes to video
marketing!</span></span></div>

Please welcome my special guest and fellow she-warrior Tricia Dycka. Tricia shares her emotional ah-ha moment about when she realized the path she was on wasn't what the universe had in mind. </h3>

At one time or another in life you hit a brick wall and you
have two choices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Continue hitting the
brick wall - or change lanes and make a course correction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A while back, I was feeling restless and stagnant where
nothing was moving the way I wanted it to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>How did I know I needed to change lanes? I was getting ZERO
RESULTS.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One thing I learned was there was a process that we all go
through when we finally admit to ourselves that what we are doing just isn’t
working. As much time, effort, blood, sweat and tears that may have gone into
this venture sometimes you realize that it might just be time to do something
different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It could be a simple change
or a total overhaul. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the realization comes that it is time to move on, the
onslaught of emotional baggage that comes with it can be staggering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some common threads are misery, followed by
pissed off, then comes the pity party of one and last but not least comes the
Warrior mode.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
OK, if you are not on the right track, what is your next
step? When this last happened to me, I was going toward a complete overhaul of
what I thought was my right path which of course it wasn’t and then it led to
synchronicity on all levels. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I kept asking questions in my journal, writing things down
as they would come to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then all the
right people were put in my path.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each
person came with the same message.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>People who do not know one another, and will never meet, from all
corners of the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I finally got the
message that God/Universe was sending me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My path was about to change irrevocably.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And it scared the shit out of me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That is how I knew that this was the path I am meant to be on.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Have you ever been punched in the gut? I have. It
hurts. Your breath is gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Instinctively you lean forward and grab the affected area gasping for
your next breath. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When you’ve somewhat recovered you get gut punched
again. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Metaphorically that’s pretty much describes
February 2013 for me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sometimes in life when you make big life decisions
or when they happen to you sometimes, you do not want to make it a reality. For
example, when you move far away you take longer than you normally would
unpacking. Or if your grandfather dies and you are in a hurry to get back to
your home 2000 miles away so you don’t have to constantly be reminded of it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If you follow me on Twitter of Facebook then you
heard all about the fact February for me was like a social media soap opera. My
grandfather died, my family traveled to TN with car problems, we buried my
grandfather, I fought with my family, cried with my family, and was reminded
that we are all 2 powder kegs shy of a crazy fireworks stand, on the way back
from Idaho more car problems. Not to mention, due to their own personal
challenges, my biggest client and I decided not to renew our contract. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lately I find myself absent minded and don’t
respond when my husband talks to me, or when I do it’s short and overly
hateful. But it’s not just my husband it’s my children too. I don’t want to
socialize online or in person. But to add to those issues I’ve been sick for at
least 2 weeks with terrible flu like symptoms, sinus infection, then a reaction
to my antibiotics. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With all that said I find myself remembering The 4
Agreements. One of those agreements was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Always
do Your Best</i>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The number one part of Always doing Your Best is
to understand that your best isn’t always the same. External factors, like the
death of a loved one, internal factors, like being physically sick, effect the
level of what your best is. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Considering all this, I’ve decided to take the
month of March off from blogging in addition to pulling back from my other
obligations as well. I’m taking this time to focus on grieving, healing, and
focusing on my family and my current full time clients. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Until, then I have several amazing guest blogs,
from industry leading professionals to keep the embers of interest warm while I’m
away. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Thank you so much for your support and

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666;">In today’s
rapidly changing business environment, we are required to be innovative to stay
on top. Generating new ideas, visions or solutions is nearly impossible to do
if we continue to use our habitual way of thinking. Our thought patterns will
travel down the same neural pathways in your our brain the way they always do
and come up with the same ideas you typically have. To think in an
innovative way requires new connections with the brain, breaking patters.
Research shows that by activity engaging the brain’s capacity from both
hemispheres, you have a larger “playing field” from which to create – there is more
cross-fertilization between neural synapses which leads to original ideas and
those “A-Ha” moments.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666;">In meetings
or brainstorming sessions, do not be afraid to get out blocks, LEGO’s and
Crayons to tap into your creative side.
Also, throw out the lined paper. Lines have a subconscious effect on us
which keep the brain locked in its habitual thought patterns. When you remove
the lines, the brain is free to think visually instead of just in words and the
Crayons will have a stimulating effect on the brain, because the right brain
thinks in color. </span></span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Does Your
Reputation Suck Online?</b><br />
<a name='more'></a>As a small or a medium sized business owner you are
responsible for marketing your business and that means finding the best
marketing opportunities available right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
You need to have an internet presence, as the internet
arguably is one of the most powerful marketing platforms available.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are marketing your business and have a bad online
reputation you are throwing some of that money down the drain because your potential
customers and clients will be looking you up online to see what others are
saying about you and your business.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What is online
reputation management for small business about?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Here are some things
you should know:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your reputation is available for everyone to see online.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you Google your business name you will be
able to see what others have said about the experience they had with you or
your company.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Online review sites such as Google Plus, Yelp, Urban Spoon
and Foursquare provide a dedicated space for customers to leave reviews.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition to review sites your company’s
reputation is affected by comments on industry forums, social media sites,
online articles, blog posts, public record documents and more.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Why you need to care
about your online reputation: </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are two different searches your customers and clients
are doing every day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One search type is
when your potential customers and clients are searching for your service or
product <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in the search engines.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second search type is even more important,
in my opinion, than the first and that is when your potential customers and
clients are searching for your company’s name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The statistics tell us that 90 percent of all consumers research the
internet when looking for a business to deal with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That means that they will see what others
have said about your company and that will affect if they want to do business
with your or not. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How to assess what
your reputation is online?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Simply search in Google for your business name and see what
results you get.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(You might also want to
search your name, the names of your high-profile employees, your brand and your
product/service.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A brief history on moonshining… Our first
president George Washington was a moonshiner. After serving as our president he
came back to Mt Vernon and made shine. Moonshining is illegal. It’s a potent
alcohol made from corn and water. It is a dangerous venture. But it’s been
around since our country was founded. So there must be something about it that
works…right?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif";">According to Wikipedia…<b>
Moonshine</b>, also known as <b>white lightning</b>, <b>mountain dew</b>, <b>hooch</b>
or <b>Tennessee white whiskey</b>, is a high-proof distilled spirit, generally
produced illicitly. The word is believed to derive from the term "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonrakers" title="Moonrakers">moonrakers</a>"
used for early English smugglers and the clandestine (i.e., by the light of the
moon) nature of the operations of illegal <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalachia" title="Appalachia">Appalachian</a>
distillers who produced and distributed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiskey" title="Whiskey">whiskey</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonshine#cite_note-1">[1]</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonshine#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Now most of your know that I’m southern and damn
proud of it. However,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can neither deny
or confirm that moonshining runs in my family blood line. However, I can’t help
but think it must if I get so much fun making laundry detergent. Then there are
all those old jugs around my grandparents’ house.Paw Paw called it “homebrew”
he made. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Anyways, I digress. Here are 5 lessons that
successful moonshiners practice that every business owner should to.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lesson
#1</span></b><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">:
Start every day with a drink. (I’m joking!) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Protect
your shine recipe. </i>You’re intellectual property, the secrets of your trade,
your little black book of clients. Whatever it is you make sure you protect it.
Keep your shit safe. Keep it sacred. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lesson
#2</span></b><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">:
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Every good deed gets rewarded. </i>In the
world of moonshiners it’s very similar to old timey laws. Because it goes back
to old timer days. You take care of each other. If someone does something for
you, you watch for your chance to do right by them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lesson
#3:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">We take care of our own. </i>Moonshiners
are the perfect example of collaboration being the ultimate currency. When
someone runs into trouble and can’t fill an order it’s not unlikely to go to a
fellow shiner and ask for help. Terms are set and a deal is made. The order if
filled. Customers are happy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
everyone made money. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lesson
#4:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">If you have too many orders to fill…it’s
time for a new still! </i>A still is a key tool for a moonshiner. It’s where
the corn is fermented and turned to mash. Whenever you have demand for new
product you expand. And a good shiner will already have the supplies in storage
for when the need arises. This same philosophy should be applied for any
business. Have a plan in the back of your mind. Whether it’s to hire a virtual assistant
or bring on a partner. You should always be prepared because you want your
business to grow. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lesson
#5</span></b><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">:
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Listen to your radar. </i>Moonshining is
illegal. Law enforcement try to find them and arrest them. You have to have
great instincts to do a business like this. The same instincts apply to your business
too. We all have some sort of BS detector. A part of us that is tried as we
make good and bad decisions. Listen to it! When it says NO…then don’t take that
deal. Don’t work with that client. When it says YES…then go for it! Go full
force ahead. Trust yourself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It’s my hope that you take away these 5 little
tips and can apply them to your own business. They are tried and true methods
that have served shiners well for many generations. Perhaps even my own…</span><br />

played and this one particular phrase popped out <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I won’t let you close enough to hurt me</i>. I thought, “ Holy cow…

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Perhaps she didn’t’ even write the song. Maybe
she’s had anything but amazing and mutually amicable relationships (I know I’m wrong.

terms.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Because as an author I’m constantly fighting this

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Many of you amazing
readers are authors, writers (yes there's a difference) speakers, and coaches.
Or just someone who has a book they need to get out. I'm so very pleased to
share with you WANACon. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">WANAConn
is being presented by a very close colleague and friend Kristen Lamb. Together
her and her team have secured some of the most influential and mainstream
movers and shakers in the publishing industry to present to you classes in a 2
day conference that will most likely be on Wikipedia faster than a rat on a
Cheeto. </span></span></div>

Now here's the deal...This is a first come first serve basis. Once it's full
it's full. Don't put it off ya'll! Sign up you will not regret it. And if you
are feeling froggy add "Bri" to the referred by box. They are
measuring their marketing efforts and I want to really impress my friend. She's
a jedi you know!</span></span></div>
