From eCourse and eBook to Kindle Published?

Wow, April just slipped right on by and it’s already the middle of May and I need to really look at my goals. I’ve been a little all over the place lately. Things are getting done and checked off of to-do lists, but I haven’t been working in a very focused way.

I had mentioned previously that one of my goals was to update my transcription course with some new information and also to publish a version of that to Kindle. I made some progress there – I have the revision written and I’ll be sending that out to the list for that product.

I’m having some difficulty with how I want to handle the Kindle version of it though… [Read more...]

Looking Lightly at My Goals for March

So I already mentioned that sometimes goals don’t go according to plan, and that held very true all through February. I extended some of my goals into March and I am working through those a little bit at a time.

I still need to finish the update on my transcription course and get a document ready for Kindle publishing. In addition to that I have two niche websites that I’m working on. I don’t want to reveal a lot of information about those yet. One is in the fashion and style space and the other is in the technology and electronics space. I’m doing things completely different on those. I have my virtual assistant working on getting some content together for one and my oldest son is helping me gather content and write articles for the electronics related one. He wants me to give him a summer job working on at least one website, so we’re going through how to use WordPress, write articles, etcetera… It’s been quite fun to work on. [Read more...]

Sometimes Goals Don’t Go According to Plan

So I had decided and declared here that this month one of my big goals was to get my transcription course published for Kindle. I know there are still five days left to the month, but I know I am drastically behind.

I wanted to write an update for the product first and then create a special landing page for Kindle readers at the end. The good news is that I have the update almost done and then I can send the files over to the magical and amazing Kristen Eckstein for proper Kindle formatting. So I’m certainly close to reaching that goal, and normally I could get most of that done in the five days. But, things don’t always go according to plan.

Update on February Goal

So my February goal is to get one (or maybe even two) of my ebooks published for Kindle.

I’m working on the first step right now, which is writing an update to my transcription course product. The meat of the product is already there, I’m just going through the whole thing and adding a few extra tidbits and changing a few recommendations, like the hosting company I recommend, since I’ve made those changes in my own business.

I’ve got a few pages done and changed some of the formatting. Why on earth did I use bright green to highlight in the original report? I don’t know. [Read more...]

Setting a Goal to Publish an eBook to Kindle

This just keeps coming up everywhere I turn, so I’m taking that as a sign that I need to just do it already. It came up several times at NAMS in August and I had sort of put it on my “to do soon” list. You know how those are. But then in the last week…

Nicole Dean brought it up again in Income CPR for January’s lesson. We had a great discussion with Susanne Myers over at her blog about publishing to Kindle and some of the very cool additional benefits of doing so.

And then just last night I was sitting here writing a blog post for this blog and it started to get a little long so I thought about turning it into a short report instead of a blog post series. I had Facebook open so I mentioned it there, and Kristen Eckstein reminded me that a few more pages and I could easily have that same thing published to Kindle. [Read more...]
