Miscellaneous Tips from Peter BowermanPeter Bowerman is the self-publishing author of the 2000 award-winning Book-of-the-Month Club selection, The Well-Fed Writer: Financial Self-Sufficiency As a Freelance Writer in Six Months or Less and its 2005 companion volume, The Well-Fed Writer: Back For Seconds – how-to “standards” on the lucrative field of commercial freelancing. The books earned him a full-time living for close to four years, an accomplishment chronicled in his 2006 release, The Well-Fed Self-Publisher: How to Turn One Book into a Full-Time Living. A commercial freelancer and business coach since 1993 in Atlanta, Georgia, he has published over 250 columns and articles and leads seminars on writing. Miscellaneous TipsThese are some of the tips Peter gives in his new book The Well-Fed Self-Publisher: How to Turn One Book into a Full-Time Living: Tip 1 We all know that we should have professionally printed business cards to hand out whenever anyone shows an interest in our writing, but here's another t'riffic idea from Peter ... personalised sticky notes! Just think of how your name could be handed on from business to business when people tack a sticky note onto a document or into a book to pass on to colleagues. Tip 2 Remember all those things your mother taught you about being polite? Follow them in your business! Peter suggests getting some snazzy postcards and using them to send as thank-you cards to people who say or do something to help you with your book promotions. And send them the old-fashioned way - by post. What a great idea! I know I always pin postcards up on my notice-board when I get them, and I don't think I'm the only one who does this. So spend some time browsing for eye-catching postcards (or have some especially designed for you) and use them. And just think how proud your mum will be! Tip 3 Revamp your signature file. You do have a special blurb you attach automatically to every email you send, don't you? Good. But is it earning its keep? Peter gives a great before and after example of how to write a sig file that will encourage people to click on your links. You'll find it detailed in Chapter 5!
