In This Week’s Episode You’ll Hear About
- The new Brain Burps About Books podcast logo

- Every Wednesday, The Snippet App hosts a Google+ Hangout. This week, they’ve asked me to be their guest writer and share my experience with creating a book using TheSnippetApp. I would love for you to join us at 3pm ET Wednesday, October 9th! Never done a Google+ Hangout? No worries! Here’s a link all about how to do hangouts. You can add me to your circle here. If you don’t have Google+, why not? All you need is a gmail account.
- If you want to know when my new eBook – actually – Snippet, is published, get on my mailing list by clicking here and entering your email. My Snippet is called Vidiot No More: Marketing Your Book Through Video and will be under $5.00. Like all Snippets, it’ll have video in it, you can tweet me from within the book, and well, why wouldn’t you want it?!
I like to be completely transparent. When I recommend things, I only do so when I believe in a product or service I know for sure is good. Otherwise, how will anyone believe me next time? So, in that vein, there are links in this book that are affiliated. That means if you click on them and decide to buy what you click through to, I receive a referral fee. What it does not mean is that you pay any more for that item than if you found it through a Google search. It’s like a tip to a waitress who serves you well. You’re not paying extra for the food, but you appreciate the service.
