* Amazing. At the end of 2000 I was preparing to be divorced, buy a new home, create a new life, and move into new directions requiring lots of money and plenty of healing.

One book that helped me during that intense period was "I'm Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams" by Thomas and Penelope Pauley. It's a fun book one person described as "Napoleon Hill meeting Deepak Chopra." It reveals, as the subtitle says, "How to Get Everything You Want in Life."

It delivers, too. That book is partly why I'm now living my dream life---country estate, luxury sports car, best-selling books---and having a blast doing it.

But that's not why I'm telling you about it.

One day last month I received a phone call from a man who said he found my website and loved my material. He went on to say he had written a book and wanted to tell me about it.

His book? You guessed it: "I'm Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams." It was author Tom Pauley on the phone.

We had an exhilarating conversation. We talked of spirituality, keys to manifestation, publishing, business, and much more. He was REALLY fascinated with my track record for success in selling e-books. He bought the e-book Jim Edwards and I wrote on how to write your own e-book (in only 7 days) and he was PSYCHED to write one of his own.

I told Tom---and I'm now reminding you---that if you want to write an e-book in the shortest amount of time, and learn the inside secrets for making the most money from it in the fastest ways, then you need to register for the next e-class Jim Edwards and I are leading on February 14th.

PUBLICITY TIP: Lists are still a proven way to get you or your product into the news.

Recently a reporter from Investor's Business Daily asked me how I (or anyone) could "beat the blahs." Since I was feeling pretty blah when her note arrived, I decided to lift my own spirits by generating 10 ways to cure the blues. Here they are:

1. Take a walk. Fresh air lifts the spirits.
2. Call a friend. Positive people make a difference.
3. Watch a sit-com. Thirty minutes and you're smiling.
4. Drink juice. The natural sugar brings a quick high.
5. Find a loser. Find moments when greats failed but went on.
6. Remind yourself of time. Everything will pass, including the blahs.
7. Read jokes. A good or even dumb joke book can change you.
8. Think differently. Thoughts create perceptions, so change them.
9. Jump high. A few minutes of intense jumping will cure the blahs.
10. Read my books. They're said to be uplifting.

You may have noticed that I not only gave that reporter what she wanted---tips on how to beat the blahs---but I also managed to plug my own work in the process. THAT'S the key to making publicity work for you with a list.

And that reporter's story with my tips appeared in Investor's Business Daily on January 29, 2002.

I did something similar back in 1997, when my book "CyberWriting," first came out. I circulated a "Top 10 Reasons to Read CyberWriting" joke list around the net. Overnight people sent the list to other people, creating an early viral marketing campaign -- and causing that book to become an overnight best-seller at amazon.

Note: CyberWriting is now out of print but most of it got reincarnated as "Hypnotic Writing." See www.hypnoticwriting.com

PRODUCTIVITY TIP: If you're in the USA, consider hiring someone who lives overseas to do your online leg work. This way when you go to bed at night, the person overseas will be doing your work. When you wake up, they've got it done!

I first heard of this tip from coach Terri Levine. She lives in Pennsylvania. Her assistant lives in Australia. Terri emails a list of to-dos to Australia. Since night-time here is day-time down under, Terri's work gets done while she sleeps.

I LOVE this tip!

Note: If you've ever wanted to be a coach, or learn how to use coaching techniques in your own work, consider Terri's site: http://www.coachinginstruction.com

* "How to Survive and Prosper in a Recession" will help you out of any tough time. Get the scoop now at http://hop.clickbank.net/?outrageous/manyebooks

* Everybody talks about success, self-motivation and self- discipline. But there is another factor, one that most experts reject or ignore.

That factor is luck.

Yes, LUCK.

No matter how hard you work, how faithfully you motivate yourself, unexpected stuff happens.

"Stuff happens," right?

For lucky people, that unexpected stuff works FOR them. But un-lucky people usually manage to get the dirty end of the stick - again and again.

If you've ever felt that way, there's a new book you should check out. "Command More Luck" is written by Charles Burke, a man who actually raised himself from naturally UN-lucky to consistently receiving one lucky break after another. And he tells exactly how you can do the same.

If the luck in your life could stand some improving, click here and read what you can do about it. Do it now.

Why not get lucky right now?

MARKETING TIP: Get your friends to help you.

When fire-breathing talk-show host Mike Litman decided he wanted his book, "Conversations with Millionaires," to be an amazon.com best-seller, he asked his friends for help.

He went to people like me and said, "I'll give $250 worth of e-products to anyone who buys just one copy of my book. All you have to do is inform your mailing list. Will you do it?"

Will I? Since I love his book and respect him, I agreed. I had nothing to gain in any monetary way. That didn't matter. I wanted to help. So on the morning of January 18 I sent a letter---a letter Mike drafted and I polished---to my list. You probably got it.

Well, within a few hours Mike's book hit number 17 on the amazon.com sales rank list!

Then it went to 15.

Then 9.

Then 3.

And then that same day it became NUMBER ONE!

He kicked John Grisham right out of the throne!

In short, Mike's book became an overnight best-seller for one main reason: He asked his friends for help.

Of course, for Mike to sell about 1,000 books in 24 hours, he had to give a lot of his time and energy as well as a lot of his eproducts. He told me he received 1,700 emails -- which he answered personally. He also slept 8 hrs in 3 days. So don't think "asking your friends" is ALL it takes to succeed. You still need a plan, commitment---and a good product.

Congrats, Mike! And thanks for being an inspiration to us!

Note: While I didn't receive any money for helping Mike, I did receive an unexpected side-benefit: My own most recent book, "Spiritual Marketing," began to sell briskly at amazon as Mike's book sales soared. Why? Seems that every time someone ordered Mike's book, amazon offered a list of related books that the customer might like. My book was one of them. As a result, my sales increased, too! Ah, I love win-win-wins! (Mike's site is http://www.mikelitman.com)
