CONTENTS
EDITORIALUpdate on new products and services Welcome to April's first issue, the month of showers here in England - rain showers that is: I'm not giving up my bath ;) You'll know from last week's mail out that my new report, Copywriting Success, has been released. Thanks for the kind comments of those who got a copy and read it. Those of you who don't have a copy yet you can pick it up very inexpensively or even for free - See Market Watch section. As some of you already know, the project next to be launched is a private web site. You can find out more about this from the last entry in the Announcements & Requests section. I was hoping to launch it this month but a third party - the payment processor - has delayed me for at least another month or two ;( Still, this will give me more time to collect some more contributions so please respond to the request at the end of the aforementioned section. As at every Easter (and Christmas!) I've got some great recommended gifts for you to offer to others (or get yourself) - see Announcements & Requests section near the end of this issue. Finally, do not forget about the Parody Contest! It ends on April 28th - that's just 24 days to go! Don't deny me a good laugh - or anyone else - I need it! ;) Enjoy the rest of this issue, To Your Online Writing Success! Darren Andrews, Editor.
FEATURED ARTICLEUsborne Books At Home Donna Herring [This issue I've asked my friend, Dorra Herring, to tell us a little about Usborne Books, a business I had some interest in a long time ago but never looked into - Ed] If you’re like me, when you are considering getting into some kind of business, you want a simple, straightforward presentation of what the business is about. I would like to answer some of these questions for you. Why Become An Usborne Consultant? 1. My main reason in becoming an Usborne Consultant was that I wanted to have access to wonderful, educational books for my children (and myself!). I love books and I have a tendency to buy, buy, and buy. So becoming a consultant helped me get that discount that enabled me to buy even more, if I chose, or just pocket the money. The discounts are anywhere from 15% to 30% with added bonuses! 2. You don’t have to sell; you can just join for your family’s library. To stay ‘active’, all you need to do is buy/sell $25 net yearly! How easy is that! 3. If you want to have a successful business, it’s up to you as to how much time you want to spend on building your business. Is it for extra money or a big business? What Are Usborne Books? Peter Usborne started Usborne Books in 1973, and in 1989 Usborne Books at Home was started. Usborne books are in many different countries around the world. Usborne Books have been recognized by many organizations for its excellent and superior educational products. Look at my site for the many awards they have won. Some of the Usborne Books are displayed in the Smithsonian Institute because of their exceptional attention to facts and detail. Where/How Can I Sell Usborne Books?
1. Book Fairs for Free Books or Fundraisers at schools, day
cares, homeschool groups Cost to Join There are monthly specials by which a lot of people join. It can be as small as $20 to join or as much as $199. It just depends on what you are wanting. I personally like the monthly specials, which is the way I came in. You get supplies, as well as books with your kit, sometimes more. If you would like more information, please email me at mailto:UsborneDonna@aol.com. There is so much more information that you would love to hear, at how you can benefit just by joining, even if you don’t sell!
