The Money Issue
"In theory should I not be able to make more money the more I publish?" The money issue. The writing about anything and wanting to make money with it. The thing which drives every writer mad. The one thing which must be understood after asking this question is that not all your published blog posts will earn money.

From Numbers to Publishing a Blog
Step one is easy: gather as much information as you can find before beginning to publish more on your blog. Write it down. Use Google Analytics as a starting point. Step Two is the action step: by now you have used your Google Analytics account along with your Google AdSense account, and found out more about your blog. Then begin to post a blog post a day.

Let's Compare: Lulu Publishing and CreateSpace Publishing
Lulu and CreateSpace are two very important self-publishing companies- and they have forced changes to the publishing industry. While CreateSpace is own by parent company Amazon, Lulu was founded by Bob Young, who was the owner of RedHat Inc.

How To Books: How To Pick the Right One For You
I'm very independent. Obnoxiously so. If I can teach myself how do something I will get the tools I need. Sometimes tools are as simple as directions from Grandma on how to make her soup or words of advice on a subject from a parent. Tools can be physically heavy objects that you cart around with you wherever you go because one day you'll be glad that you had them. But my number one choice is [image error]

Social Networking And CreateSpace
One of the new more powerful ways to self-publish is using CreateSpace to distribute your book. It is powerful because its parent company is Amazon. Since CreateSpace was acquired by Amazon, more people have used CreateSpace to self-publish their writing. This in and of itself is nothing new. Writers want to get the word out on their books, but like anything you will have to earn it. For [image error]

The Teen Book Review Challenge
I have been writing and reviewing Tech products and books and I have had a wonderful time doing so. When Rebecca invited me to try my hand at writing for her blog I must say I was a little nervous. I spent weeks asking questions and I finally took the plunge. Your comments have been wonderful and inviting.
