You want to write a book. But let's face it, with all of the demands of life, your dream of being a published author is often pushed to the bottom of the "To Do" list.
But there is a secret to writing a book and finishing it…schedule to write during your best time!
After all, everyone works differently, and it takes time to write a book. And the trick is finding what works best for you. If you are able to work in the morning, try getting up a little earlier than usual to write.
If you’re a night owl, find time to write later in the day. Something that works for me is to work ahead as much as possible, so I don’t have chores hanging over my head to distract me.
Once you find your ideal writing time and get into a regular schedule, you'll have your book written in no time!
In the meantime, do you have questions about selling your books online? Please let me know here or at www.jexbo.com. I'd love to hear from you!
3 Quick Tips to Self-Publish a Book
You finished your book, and you want to self-publish it. Now what?
Here are some quick tips to help you with your self-publishing efforts.
1. Do some research to find the right publisher.
There are many publishers out there, and you want to find one who specializes in self-published authors. For example, if you need help with editing, find a publisher that has an editor on staff.
2. Check for hidden fees.
If you’re going to use a publisher you find online, check to see how much it will cost you in total to do the publishing.
You don’t want to be surprised with hidden costs such as shipping and handling.
3. Check the phone book to see if there are publishers in your neighborhood.
Establishing a relationship with a local publisher can be mutually beneficial. Not only are they close by, but you can stop by, ask questions and get the information you need to be a successful author.
Start with some good research, and you'll be well on your way to selling your self-published books.

Got a Book Idea? Now What?
If you have a great idea for a book, here are a few tips to get started and make it a reality:
Keep a notebook handy.
This way, you can jot down ideas or words that you come across and would like to use at some point. Maybe you just need to get the idea down on paper and later will have time to think about how you want to use it?
Set aside some time each day to work on your book.
Maybe you’ll be able to write a paragraph a day, maybe you’ll be able to write a page or two a day – At the end of a year, you will have something to show for it.
Visit your local library to find resources for budding authors.
Do online research to find support for writers. And perhaps you can join a writer’s group to inspire and encourage you.
The point is to take action. You can make your book a reality, but it’s up to you to take the necessary steps to make it happen!

How to Write a Great Headline
Have you ever been stumped about a headline and unsure what to write in order to draw attention to your piece?
I think every writer has gone through this at one time or another.
Well, after a little research, here are some headline-writing tips:
1. Practice.
Read articles that you find and then develop your own headlines for the articles. Try to write several headlines for each article with varying lengths.
2. Test Your Ideas.
Get a group of friends together and share your headlines with them. Which ones do they like? Which ones interest them or put them to sleep? Get their honest feedback and suggestions. Then, use these comments to improve your headline writing on a regular basis.
3. Keep a Word List.
Keep a list of descriptive words to inspire you, boost your creativity and help avoid writer’s block. Your list will help you find something to start with quickly. Also, have a thesaurus nearby to change words in the headline to see if one sounds better than another.
By practicing, testing various headlines on friends and keeping a word-list handy, you’ll be well on your way to writing a great headline that draws readers in and conveys exactly what you want to say!
