Trying to create an ebook is something that most authors want to do but they think that you will need to have a big budget, but times have changed and it’s actually a lot cheaper than you think.
The simplest ebook is just a PDF – its as simple as that. Its an electronic document that makes it easy to share with thousands of people and they will pay a fee to read it.
People create ebooks for various reasons, these days, and you will need to first determine what your main purpose of creating yours is – is it to increase your newsletter subscription rates? Is it to educate others about a particular subject, or is just to publicise your brand?
A website without any visitors can be very demotivating. The main goal for most businesses with an online presence would be to try and get as many visitors as possible. This can be very easy for some while it can be an impossible task for others.
If you’re feeling a website visitor drought, the problem really lies in your strategy and the things that you write about. Is it worth reading? Is it something that people will click on if they see a mention on Facebook? Will they be happy that they read that article?

We all have our little foibles, and bosses are no different. But how can you tell if your boss is just a little different or hates you?
How far can the comments go, and how schemes deep rooted are the incidents you’ve been receiving really go? Is it just a case of poor communication, or does your boss just not like you?

Being a mother can be incredibly hard work, and trying to fit even the shortest activity into a busy schedule can be tricky.
Many mothers who work in full-time or part-time jobs often find that with childcare, they don’t have the time to do anything else, especially something which could net them additional income.
Most people think that working mothers are in roles like nursing and administration, but for a growing number of women making sizeable profits from trading the markets, they’ve managed to dispel this stereotype.
Trading was often seen as the preserve of men, but as this infographic supplied by City Index shows, there has been a massive increase in the number of women traders, and the level of success which some of them have achieved has been astonishing.

For many teens, alcohol will pay a role in that mischief. According to statistics, the average age that children start drinking is 14 years of age. So how do you teach children about alcohol and drinking safely?

Here are seven tips that can help you get more done:
Are mums who stay at home just using their children as an excuse to retire from their careers? Are they making their children less independent?
If you’re Cherie Blair – former prime minister Tony Blair’s wife – then you’ll say yes to that. In fact she has been quoted saying the very thing, and. She’s not apologetic about it either.
But does she have a point, or is it just another attack on stay-at-home mums from a working mum?
Are you getting ready for the summer sales slump? If your business isn’t seasonal or doesn’t peak in summer, there’s a good chance that you’ll have to work a little harder for your money in summer.
School holidays and people going away to get some summer sunshine, or just a break in general means you need to find a way to get the customers and website visitors you have spend more.
No matter how good you are at your craft, there really is nothing like being able to have a mentor who can help you turn your expertise into a financial success.
Most business owners and successful online entrepreneurs will admit that a mentor was a big part of their success.
A lot of people feel like they can do everything on their own and this is something that can lead to a lot of problems. An enthusiasm to get stuck in and get your hands dirty is great, but do you have to learn all the hard lessons the long way, making avoidable mistakes along the way?
