MARKETING IS A 4-LETTER WORD

HELP WANTED

"No one wants to pay for distraction, but they will pay if it's packaged as help." (me)   How help is defined is tricky. It depends on the client/customer's wants. If your prospective customer wants to escape their environment, then consider if you, the independent author have the skills, resources, and experience packaged in your book to help.    If your book is the solution, then show them how it can get what they want. In this case, adventure, exotic destination, and a

Dear Readers,  I tend to enjoy reading various articles on writing , the industry, the concepts, et cetera. parallel to craft articles. These topics can be fun or engaging. As some of you know, I have a controlled electronic footprint, meaning, I don't keep old posts. This blog never had fifteen posts and never will cause I don't like ejunk. But, I realize, aside my posts to what I created and create, I need a post to just chit chat if you will. So this post will serve that function, throug

Afro This: The Leader in Black LIberation

B.E.T. Has Perpetually Failed Black America

As Black Americans struggle against the rise of white nationalism led by an overt racist president; and as we fight against the injustice of legalized police murder and systemic mass incarceration of our young Black men and while as a unit we search hard to find a strong and positive voice of leadership for our children and to lessen the burden of the Black plight, the B.E.T. Network continues to find its pleasure in rolling exploits of the Black experience, 24/7.   B.E.T. Has Perpetua

Be Patient When Planting The Seeds

I am learning why I must be patient when it comes to planting the seeds.  For some seeds take a long time to grow like trees from the roots out of the ground until they touch the sky, and some are like bulbs that sprout  up after a few weeks.  Some need more water than others and some only need a few drops, but I still need to give them the time that they require to grow.  For example, as I was going about my day having my first book signing event, I ran into another soul.  And, this soul recogn

Apple and the Widow

One Trillion Dollars! Earlier this month, Apple executives announced their 42-year-old company is worth One trillion dollars.   For those unsure how to write one trillion dollars, there is a one followed by 12 zeros.     Today, some believe Apple changed the world with its products. Still, there are quite a few who get along fine without Apple.  For the rest, the company is a game-changer.       Apple went public in 1980, and for $22, anyone could buy a share.  Duri

Why I Published My Book

We all realize that the media really knows how to do a good job at painting Black people in a certain light. They are good at convincing us to hate on each other, and good at convincing us that nothing will ever change. But I disagree, because I was able to create a profound change in my own life by using the power of my mind.  And I know without a doubt that we all have the power to change, if that is what we truly desire.  So, I published my book to show them the truth about who we are, and th

Valued social relationships versus individuality, where deception and truth merge: A Black Perspective.

Research recently published, 2008, suggests that deceptive communication can serve a functional purpose. The study revealed that a person's motivation to deceive is influenced by his or her/his cultural self-identity [and] that one's cultural identity greatly influences whether a message was perceived to be deceptive.    The research points out that:    -- People who strongly valued their own individuality over the social relationships reported having a lo
