Professional Empowerment
original article by Charlon Bobo   Why Write an eBook vs. a Published Book?

QuestionMarks
This is a common question-and a necessary one-as you educate yourself on the merits of both.

For starters, neither is necessarily better than the other. There is no right option. Choosing one depends on what you're trying to accomplish by becoming published, your current skill set, and your allocated funds for this project. Inevitably, though, you must choose one for your first effort toward becoming a published author.

After careful analysis, only you can decide which option is best-suited for you, but I recommend eBooks for the following reasons:
  1. eBooks are ecologically-responsible
  2. eBooks are instantly accessible
  3. eBooks can be created, marketed and sold within a very short time period
  4. eBooks can be created, marketed and sold based on your own time table
  5. eBooks can be created, marketed and sold without extensive knowledge of the complex book publishing industry
  6. eBooks can be marketed in places where you wouldn't normally be able to market yourself, such as online bookstores
  7. eBooks easily and quickly establish you as an expert within your field
  8. eBooks allow you to more fully explore and share your passion for a subject than you can with articles or your Web site
  9. Short eBooks can be used for free giveaways, incentives or as bonus items (the most common way they are used is to build your subscriber list)

If you're uncertain about any aspect of the book-writing process, writing an eBook is an excellent way to familiarize yourself with the practical aspects of developing a system that works for you. Start small with a special report or mini-eBook. Although this doesn't officially qualify as authorship, the exercise builds clarity and confidence.

With the ability to publish an eBook at zero monetary cost, it's an excellent way to launch your writing career.

2010Growth
Sometimes it's hard to know the questions to ask to get the answers that propel you in business. At other times, you know the end-goal, but not the smartest way to get there. And still other times, the overwhelm of so many possibilities is paralyzing and you do nothing.

So, what do you do? What will support you, empower you and equip you with a sound plan to proceed? A trusted advisor, of course!

"Charlon was exactly what I needed. I went to my meeting with her not knowing what I needed, what questions to ask, or what direction to go. All I had was an idea.

Based on her vast knowledge, she anticipated my needs, even those of which I was unaware, and pointed me in the right direction with poignant questions, thoughtful guidance and numerous ideas for future implementation. Thanks to Charlon, I have not wasted my precious resources of time and money on unnecessary tasks. Thank you!"

Global Empowerment
  9-minute video shows how our food choices can feed the world

VegetablesGlobe
This video by Denis van Waerebeke brilliantly and simply explores the international food market.

Would you be willing to change your eating choices if it meant every living being could eat and experience dignity?



From the Editor's Desk
Charlon Bobo   Spring has sprung

SpringTree
With St. Patrick's Day behind me I can get back to business... and begin the countdown to next year. Did I mention I LOVE ST. PATRICK'S DAY?!

My favorite holiday of the year aside, back to work means I am creating with wild abandon. The spring air, sunshine and buds on every tree awaken the innate creative impulses in me to bring latent projects to fruition and birth new ones. It's a terribly exciting time to be alive.

What is calling you? What activities beckon? What needs to be expressed through you right now?

Whatever they are, explore them with your full attention.

In Sisterhood, Light & Love,
