Mindmapping is better than linear outlining because authors can use flexible thinking and relativity in writing their book. One can add and subtract a thought or phrase from a mindmap easily. Mindmapping is an excellent way to start, organize, and finish your book.

You already know articles are a great way to market your business and books. One thing that may hold you back is that you don't have a regular editor for them. While it's best to get at lease two other edits from business associates, you can edit your articles yourself with a little help.

Use this checklist to edit your own work:[READ MORE] [COMMENT]]]> Wed, 01 Dec 2004 08:13:00 -0500 http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=8264 Top Ten Tips for Book Titles that Sell Well http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=7049 Judy Cullins © 2004 All Rights Reserved

A clever title is great if it is clear, but a clear title is always preferable. The best? A clear and clever title. A shorter title is better than a longer one. Your reader will spend only four seconds on the cover. While some long titles have succeeded, usually the shorter, the better.

A title is part of your book's front cover. Busy buyers including
bookstore buyers, wholesalers, distributors and your audiences
buy mainly because of the cover. Dan Poynter, author of Writing
Nonfiction, says, "The package outside sells the product inside."
Make your cover sizzle. [READ MORE] [COMMENT]]]> Fri, 08 Oct 2004 10:12:00 -0400 http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=7049 Why Should I Buy your eBook? http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=6713 Judy Cullins ©2004 All Rights Reserved.

How would you like to have countless people clamoring for your books and willing to visit your Web site to buy them?

Most entrepreneurs wait until their Web site is designed before they think about marketing their products on it. What a shame!

If you haven't realized the success you wanted last year, here's a way to reap the harvest with 86% improvement!

Use the power of visualization.

When you see, hear, and feel your book project already manifested through specific outcomes, you'll be in the 86% success group. It's far easier to perceive specific outcomes as true when visualizing them as they already happened. Claim your dream as true now in specific outcomes.

[COMMENT]]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2004 13:24:12 -0400 http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=6690 How to Use Textpad to Write Articles Faster http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=6622 Judy Cullins
©2004 All Rights Reserved.

It's a good idea to use TextPad because all opt-in ezine publishers want your
articles without any formatting. Also, for any email exchange, you need to
put your article in the body of the email, not an attachment. Most Online
readers who don't know you will not open your email, and people who do know you
want it this faster, easier way.

Textpad is a shareware download from http://www.textpad.com. Shareware means
you can use it, fully functional, but you are expected to pay for it if you
use it a lot.

The very first thing you should know about Textpad is that it is a PLAIN TEXT
editor. That means there is absolutely no formatting like bold, underline, or
italics. One of the benefits of this program is that it can wrap you articles
at 65 chanters across fast and easily.

Textpad is straightforward and easy to understand and work with. Here's how
to set up the program to make your articles. At www.textpad.com

First, click on the "Configure" menu, then 'Preferences...." then under the
General page uncheck "Allow multiple instances to run." Doing this makes it so
that TextPad can't be run twice at the same time. Check the box next to
"Allow multiple files in command line." This allows you to open multiple files at
once.

Next, click on the plus sign next to the words "Document Classes." Then,
click on "Text." You will notice a little to the right a bunch of settings. These
are the settings to make your articles wrap. First, check "Word Wrap Long
Lines," underneath that click the circle "Save with hard breaks." Finally,
underneath the white area put a check mark next to "Word break at column numbers:"
and fill in the text box with 65 or what ever number you want (for article
purposes 65 is the best way to go).

Press OK and you are done!

To do a word count to your articles, simply highlight your entire article,
right click on it, go to properties and remember the number under the "Selected
Column" in the "Words:" row. Most opt-in ezines want the word count.

TextPad can do a lot more than just wrap your articles for you. You can sort
a list of email addresses in alphabetical order, send your own ezine out
without expensive services, opt-in and opt-out subscribers, find and replace, spell
check, and much more.

This is the one program I wouldn't be without. It makes article submissions
and marketing my business through sending out my ezine so much easier and
faster.
