I just saw and spent some time with an old friend who I hadn’t seen in 26 years. Old schoolmates. Naturally, we did the reminiscing thing… tried to anyway, since it didn’t seem like he remembered much. He remembered me and a few others, but everybody else was fuzzy or just not there to him. So much of our time tripping down memory lane was spent with me doing the storytelling and trying to see if I could yank them out of his brain if the memories still happened to be buried somewhere deep.

How many ways can you make money with a single ebook you’ve written and self-published? At least three (3) basic ways come to mind. These aren’t even new or revolutionary — this is the way we brought the bucks in years ago with regular print books and infoproducts, before the public Net and e-anything.

Spent most of the day thanking and eating (Happy Thanksgiving everyone!), so not thinking straight enough for a post that requires any more brain cells than what’s needed to move my fingers over the keyboard. So this post isn’t a total waste, however, here are links to three free online services I find incredibly useful and use on a fairly regular basis (not to mention that if I remember them in my current condition, then they must be pretty dang memorable!).

I’m just getting started converting a few PDFs (with the Word source files) to the Amazon Kindle ebook format. Translation: No idea what I’m doing just yet.
I did, however, find a few “tutorials” online that I’ll need to pore through, probably over the Thanksgiving break. Here they are in case you want to do the same. (Comment please if you know of any others I should check out.)

Every now and then, I see yet another article or blog posting promising a whole slew of article/blog post idea sources. What writer can really resist glancing through them… even though years of experience wasting time with those lists have taught me that I can always sum up what they contain in a single tip:

Final installment!
I revealed in the previous post that I went with ClickBank for the Teachpreneur project
I’m not exactly new to ClickBank. It’s been around for, like, forever, and I used the service for years when Will Bontrager and I partnered to sell the ProLinkz CGI script (now free). ClickBank was one of the few available digital download e-commerce options available then, and if memory serves, the only affordable one. That alone would have cinched the deal for the typical bootstrapping online tech startup, but it had one other feature that made it a no-brainer: an affiliate program.
