danielhall-2-aug112007_sm.jpg Daniel Hall took Nerissa and me out to dinner and told us an inspiring story.

He wrote a little book on how to get dignitariaes and other famous people to send you awards, or cards, or even name a day after you or someone you know. It’s called Prestigious Acknowledgements.

Writing the book took him an afternoon.

He then uploaded the book to Amazon by using www.createspace.com/Products/BooksOnDemand.jsp 

That’s not the only service that prints books on demand, of course, but that’s the one Daniel used, thanks to Nerissa’s suggestion to him in an interview long ago.

The entire process — start to finish — took him 11 days.

Most of it was waiting time, so he could approve hard copies of the printed book, etc.

Daniel told us his story with excitement. He knows that in the old days getting any book published could be a long and complicated process, and getting a distributor could take even longer.

Not today.

A few clicks and you’re on Amazon and in business.

You can find his book at http://tinyurl.com/3b5cjk 

Don’t you just love the Internet?

If you don’t have your own ebook written yet, maybe visit www.endselfsabotage.com

Where will you be in 11 days if you don’t act now?

    Wow! Timely indeed! Congratulations to Daniel and many thanks to you Joe and Nerissa for sharing this knowledge. Maybe I can beat Daniel’s record of 11 days… Will let you know when that happens.

    Many Thanks!

    On the one hand, I think that further democratization of the literary world is great. The more ideas become available, the better chance that the public will be able to make intelligent choices in their lives.

    On the other hand, the old vanity presses are rejoicing in their ability to make profits off many customers’ projects, rather than having to scratch for the few who could (and would) pay their exorbitant prices. Nowadays, any individual can get anything published on the cheap, regardless of its quality or merits. As a result, the admonition to “let the buyer beware” has never been so pertinent to readers.

    Thank You! It’s just what I needed and needed now. This information is all in one place and supports another product I purchased here through your connection for an internet business in a box project, including membership support.

    I appreciate you, I appreciate me. I appreciate the constant loving support from the Love and Joy that We All are – kinda like All in one package.
    With Love,
    Mary

    You said ” That’s not the only service that prints books on demand, of course, but that’s the one Daniel used, thanks to Nerissa’s suggestion to him in an interview long ago.”

    1. What other services are available?
    2. Do you use any of these other services, if so which one?
    3. Do you currently have a product that takes you through the process of how to write a book the way you do it?, from idea to getting a publisher, distributor and getting it on amazon as a best seller?

    Jon, it would take a book to answer all these questions. You might look at http://www.create-ultimate-ebooks.com/ or http://www.7dayebook.com You might also look at http://www.parapublishing.com

    Truly, success itself “likes” speed. The moment is NOW, so success is NOW, so I ought to catch up.
