First e-book

I've been waffling back and forth about this for years. Let's start off with the big confession: I do not like e-books.

Ayup. I like either a book I can hold in my hand or HTML web pages. I really, really dislike e-books because I find them clumsy and hard to read.

But that's me. Lots of other people don't share my distaste.

So, I kept coming back to the idea of doing an e-book or two. But then..

It's a lot of work. Yeah, I can cull a lot of material from web pages I've already written (and I did) but it needs to be edited and arranged and all that. It's hard. It takes time.

But I've done it. It's called Pssst - wanna work for yourself? and it's 42,000 plus words of advice about working for yourself. I've plastered links all over this website so you may have aready seen it.

A lot of it comes from articles here in the Employment section but as I said, it's more organized, coherent and there is also material that you won't find here.

I've priced it at $24.95 and yes, there is an affiliate program available if you have a website and want to resell it.

So there it is. For those who dislike e-books or dislike forking over their hard earned money, well, as I said, a lot of it is available right here for free. Unorganized, but here.

If this is even moderately successful, I'll make the effort to package up other stuff. If not.. oh well, I wasted a couple of weeks of sweat and blood. Well, no actual blood, but it sure felt like it.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
