You know, I like to dream about things like getting rich off of some investments and then living the good life. The interesting thing is that it is completely feasible to do something just like that. If you do not believe me then you need to take a moment and get to know Northern Trust. You will see that they are a provider of banking, asset management and asset servicing to well to do families, individuals and businesses all over the world. They do things like set up a charitable trust for you if you need one. But anyways, if I was so fortunate to have a lot of money like that I know just what I would do. I would buy loads and loads of rare and classic books. And then have a nice library to keep them all in with floor to ceiling bookcases all around the room. Ah, that would be too cool!
It seems like there are an awful lot of bloggers that get book deals. Typically they have successful blogs that get them the book deal. And ironically they seem to neglect their blogs once they get the deal. Although that is not always the case. I just recently read about a blogger that was approached by a publishing company, instead of the other way around. It is Steve Pavlina. He writes an insanely successful personal development blog in case you are not familiar with him.
Do you like to spend some down time on the web playing games and such? If that is the case then you need to know about this fun new online video game that I recently found out about. You see it is called Dungeon Runners and one of the things that I love about it so much is that they have these magical little things in the game called Bling Gnomes.
I know, Bling Gnome is really a hysterical name, right? Well, in the game you get bling gnomes and then they eat the unwanted items that you have and then they take a ‘golden squat’ which turns the unwanted items into gold. Man, I wish I could find a bling gnome in real life, right! Being inspired by the bling gnome, I took this funny little garden gnome that I have and bling him out in the spirit of Dungeon Runners bling gnomes. You can see him in the pics. Now, if I could just get him to do that golden squat thing! And if you want to check out this game like I did then you need to head on over to dungeonrunners.com where you can actually download the free game! Or you can even buy a subscription for your self! So be sure to check it out today. And have a look at my bling gnome!
I noticed that a couple of interesting Young Adult fantasy books came out this past week. On Tuesday, July 8th these two books came out:
- Inheritance Cycle Omnibus: Eragon and Eldest by Christopher Paolini (Knopf)
- Encyclopedia Mythologica: Fairies and Magical Creatures by Matthew Reinhart and Robert Sabuda (Candlewick)
Inheritance Cycle Omnibus: Eragon and Eldest (The Inheritance Cycle)
Encyclopedia Mythologica: Fairies and Magical Creatures
If you have started out and decided to give it a go and run with starting up your own publishing company then you know that it can be both exciting and confusing and overwhelming at the same time. One of the things that you might not have thought about having to deal with is that little fact that you will have customers. And if you have customers it is important that you keep them happy. And keeping them happy might not be as easy as you might have thought that it would be. That is why you need to look into some crm software systems for small businesses.
