E-books as Your Best Asset



Are you thinking of starting a business online? Are you not sure what type of product to sell or to promote? Well, I was just reading an amazing E-book that shared some very simple concepts that anyone can implement, and they start with having one thing, an E-book.


Information is constantly being distributed and passed around for free on the internet. You can read free internet articles on how to trade stocks, or how to improve your golf swing, but those articles don't always give you a step by step guide to learn all the tricks. People are now relying on information that will help guide them in doing a highly specialized trade, like trading stocks, repairing vintage automobiles, or losing weight. There are many paper books available that will teach you how to do these things, but much of the time, people are going to the internet to find solutions and find current information on specialized trades.


Let's look at some reasons why an E-book can be your greatest asset:


1. An E-book is digital, and can be kept online at your website, not at a warehouse.

2. It can only be downloaded from your website 24/7 and as it is totally secure, it cannot be passed around the internet as a free un-secure article.

3. You have to buy an E-book to read it. It can only be read after it is paid for.

4. Once you create an E-book, it is forever available.

5. You'll never run out of inventory, as there is no inventory.

6. After writing the E-book, your work is done, and you can sit back and let it make money for you. Of course, the more you keep it updated, and the more E-books you write, the more profit potential you have.

7. When you sell an E-book, the customer does not have to wait for it. It's delivered to them instantly, and they can conveniently store it on their computer or laptop, so it is available to them more easily.

8. Paper Books take about a year to get published and cost a lot of money in printing, postage and handling. E-books have no publishing cost, and can be delivered through the internet saving time and money on postage and handling.

9. You can use very simple and sophisticated internet marketing tools to drive traffic to your website for people to buy your E-books.

10. E-books can always be revised and kept updated as fast as you can create new content. This makes E-books more current than a normal paperback.

11. Your E-book can be bought forever. This gives you unlimited profit potential.


So, think about spending some extra time and compile a 30-100 page E-book, that is high quality, and gives the customer great value. The time you spend doing this can make you money forever. When we start thinking about moving our mindset from trading our time for money, to having our assets work for us, we start to shift from having to always work for our money, to letting our E-books work for us.

Subaru Legacy, 1990-1999: Includes Legacy Outback and Legacy Brighton (Haynes Manuals)



Subaru Legacy, 1990-1999: Includes Legacy Outback and Legacy Brighton (Haynes Manuals)
All Subaru Legacy models, including Legacy Outback and Legacy Brighton (90 - 98) Haynes offers the best coverage for cars, trucks, vans and SUVs in the market today. Each manual is written and photographed from "hands-on" experience gained by a complete teardown and rebuild of the vehicle. The first Haynes manual was written this way 40 years ago, and all the manuals continue to be produced this way, making Haynes the world leader in automotive repair information.

Customer Review: Beginner handbook

I have not done as much work as I might have liked, so I have opened the book relatively little. In what little I have used it, it has been more reassuring than helpful--for instance, the book confirmed that the rear hatch lifter supports come without the entire ball-joint assembly, and that there is little one can do about this. Not really helpful, but reassuring for someone who wonders what is going on.



I consider the book satisfactory for its purposes, and I am glad I own it.

Customer Review: Haynes manuals explain best!

In my opinion, short of an actual manufacturer's shop manual, you can't beat a Haynes book for completeness. And, given that they are written for the non-professional, in some ways they are far superior. Based on complete engine tear-down and rebuild, and covering standard repairs and maintainence, I never buy anything else.

If you are even reasonably handy, like to save money on basic (or even complex) repairs, this is the book for you.

LeapFrog Leapster® Educational Game: Scooby-Doo™ Spooky Snacks!
Scooby-Doo Spooky Snacks is great learning fun with Scooby and the gang! Help Scooby-Doo and Shaggy fend off monsters -- feed snacks to the right monster while learning addition, subtraction and counting in multiples. It's a race against time to keep themonsters fed andkeep them from chasing you!

Customer Review: Scobby Doo fun

This game is fun for my child(age 4) but its not as educational as I would have liked. He played it some but he likes several of the other leapster games better.(cars, dora, letterpillar) The game is ok but if your kids not a big scobby fan I would get several of the other games first.

Customer Review: scooby Doo leapster

This game is too simple in nature. There are three levels which indicate that the addition question just gets slightly harder. There is only one very simple repetative main game, throwing food at the monster with the correct answer and a simple round of eating snacks before the timer runs out. Other Leapster games are more elaborate. The kids are not interested in this one because there isn't much to it. When you buy online it is hard to read the box and deduce the game details. I got it on sale for about half price, at least.







The Sound of Music (Two-Disc 40th Anniversary Special Edition)



The Sound of Music (Two-Disc 40th Anniversary Special Edition)
When Julie Andrews sang "The hills are alive with the sound of music" from an Austrian mountaintop in 1965, the most beloved movie musical was born. To be sure, the adaptation of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's Broadway hit has never been as universally acclaimed as, say, Singin' in the Rain. Critics argue that the songs are saccharine (even the songwriters regretted the line "To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray") and that the characters and plot lack the complexity that could make them more interesting. It's not hard to know whom to root for when your choice is between cute kids and Nazis.


Read our interview with
Charmian Carr, who played
Liesl von Trapp in The
Sound of Music
.
It doesn't matter. Audiences fell in love with the struggling novice Maria (Andrews), the dashing Captain von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), and, yes, the cute kids, all based on a real-life World War II Austrian family. Such songs as "My Favorite Things," "Do Re Mi," "Climb Every Mountain," and the title tune became part of the 20th century Zeitgeist. In addition, The Sound of Music officially became a cult hit when audiences in London began giving it the Rocky Horror Picture Show treatment, attending showings dressed as their favorite characters and delivering choreographed comments and gestures along with the movie. So why resist, especially when the 40th Anniversary Edition is the best DVD yet.

The DVDs
As if the direct involvement of Julie Andrews weren't enough, the 40th Anniversary Edition of The Sound of Music is a must-have for fans because of the fond sense of nostalgia that will touch all but the worst cynic's heart. Andrews introduces both discs and contributes a commentary track on the film. It's a joy to hear her speak about the film (for example, she explains how she solved her dislike for the lyrics of "I Have Confidence"), and also heard are remarks by Christopher Plummer (who at one point refers to his being 48, which if true would mean his comments were made in about 1975), Charmian Carr (Liesl), choreographer Dee Dee Wood, and Johannes Von Trapp (the real-life Maria Von Trapp's youngest son, who admits that his father did have a whistle but claims that he was not as stern as portrayed in the film). Even with all those people involved, there are still significant gaps of silence, however. Retained from the previous two-disc editions is the commentary track by director Robert Wise, which during the musical numbers becomes an isolated score with no vocals. Also new are sing-along subtitles in English, Spanish, and French, which allow you to have your own sing-along at home. In addition, the film's remastering shows off a truer and much warmer sense of color.

On the second disc, Andrews participates in a new 63-minute documentary "My Favorite Things: Julie Andrews Remembers." But it's really a general making-of documentary with contributions from a number of principals, including director Robert Wise, who died in mid-2005 (not surprisingly, some stories are repeated from the commentary track and from the 87-minute documentary on the previous DVD). Andrews also shares a warm 19-minute sit-down with Christopher Plummer. Carr, who over the years has become the film's biggest advocate, narrates a new 22-minute documentary, "On Location with The Sound of Music," in which she revisits the places in Salzburg where the movie was filmed, and even joins one of the "Sound of Music tours" that have become a booming industry. And acknowledging another big industry, there's a 12-minute featurette on the sing-along phenomenon, focusing specifically on the audience, costumed and otherwise, that attended a sold-out Hollywood Bowl sing-along in 2005. Making special appearances at the event are four von Trapp great-grandchildren and all seven of the actors who played the children. Thankfully, those actors also appear in a 33-minute documentary "From Liesl to Gretl: A 40th Anniversary Reunion," in which they explain what they do now (many are still in show business) and share stories about the film, who was afraid of Christopher Plummer, and what they feel is their responsibility to the film's passionate fans. What's touching is how the group still considers themselves a family so many years later. Other material includes an A&E documentary on the von Trapps, Mia Farrow's screen test for the Liesl role, and a restoration comparison.

What's Missing?
If you already own the previous two-disc editions, you'll want this 40th Anniversary Edition as well, but you might not want to toss those versions. Probably the most significant omission from this edition is the original 14-minute documentary Charmian Carr made in 1967, "Salzburg Sight and Sound." Carr's new documentary includes only a couple clips from the vintage piece. It's not a great work of art, but it's a notable loss and would have made a good contrast with the new documentary. In addition, the new making-of documentary is about 24 minutes shorter than the old one. Also missing are the audio-only features--the interviews, the radio programs, the Ernest Lehman spotlight--and the historical still gallery examining the history of Salzburg and the film. Granted, this material probably got the least play of any of the old features, but completists might want to hold onto their old discs for it. It would have also been nice to have screen tests other than Farrow's. Tests for all the children and for Christopher Plummer (including singing in his own voice before he was dubbed for the film) were included on Hollywood Screen Tests and Rodgers and Hammerstein: The Sound of Movies. Again, they're not critical but it would have been nice to have them all in one place. So maybe the 40th Anniversary Edition isn't the complete package on The Sound of Music, but it's the most satisfying edition yet, with enough new material to please even the veteran SoM DVD watcher. --David Horiuchi

Customer Review: DVD-Sound of Music

This movie is my Mother's favorite musical. She loves her dress she wears when she sings on the mountain top. It's a true story.

Customer Review: The Sound of Music (Two-Disc 40th Anniversary Special Edition)

I saw this movie at a theater in Chicago when my husband of 39 years and I were dating. My grandchildren now know and love this movie from watching it on TV. When they learned the music to the movie I decided they should have it to watch whenever they wanted. Good movie, good story, clean!!!!
