What do I want in return? Your feedback. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like you to comment on the book and offer your suggestions for making it more useful. Also, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d love to know what topics you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re interested in. I plan to do more ebooks and you can help me decide on the most pertinent topics. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know about you, but I like my ebooks brief. So I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m planning to create ebooks on narrowly targeted topics. They could be considered small books or expanded articles. <\/p>\n

The other thing I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like in return for the free ebook is your recommendation. Tell your friends, colleagues, writers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 group members and other authors you might meet along the way about this ebook and suggest that they order it for only $5.95 at: http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/author_repairkit.html<\/a> <\/p>\n

The only way I can continue to offer you the free blog, access to my enormous array of articles and benefit of my knowledge is to sell books, ebooks and my services, and I appreciate your help with this. <\/p>\n

The economy is careening downward again. Those of us with any age under our belts have seen it before, right? Things get bad and then they get better. Once we feel as though we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re getting ahead big time, the economy goes in the toilet again. So how are you handling it? How is this affecting your writing? Are you writing more in an attempt to stay afloat? Or are you writing less because you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe that your writing work can support you? <\/p>\n

Yesterday I suggested that you submit articles and stories to magazines and newsletters in order to help build your author\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s platform. Did you know that you can also get paid for articles and stories? Yes, many publications pay anywhere from $25 to $3,000 per piece. This could be a good way for you to keep writing even during this economic downturn.

Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t use the economy as an excuse not to write. Sure, you may have to set your book-in-progress aside or work on it fewer hours per day while you pursue paying work. And you probably can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t come up with enough money to support yourself by promoting one or two books, especially if you haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been putting in a lot of promotional effort over the last several months. But you can survive this period of poor economy through your writing if you are persistent, diligent, creative, patient and trusting.<\/p>\n
