Tips on Dealing with Rejection

2010-04-25T02:02:00.000-07:00

What to do when you get rejected.

You've just finished your book, sent out query letters and was rejected. What's left to do? You could give up, but I wouldn't suggest this. Here's some brief tips on how to deal with rejection.

1.Take a breather:

You've probably been wondering and rattling your brain as to why you got rejected. Take a break, not a long one...some time for a breather. If you continue to constantly analyze why you were rejected, you'll drive yourself crazy. Plus...if you decide after rejections to continue sending out new query letters, they may not be your best work. Why you ask? Because you may not produce your best work under all the stress you've put yourself under over the rejections. You wouldn't want more rejections because you didn't have the energy to send out your best sales pitch.

2.Self-esteem: Failure is not an option....

You might be down in the dumps...this is understandable, but don't allow yourself to be in the mood for too long. Have you had others read your work? Did they like it, love it? It's a good idea to remember all the positives, rather than negatives. If everyone who didn't get what they wanted the first time quit, do you know what we'd have? A bunch of failures. They aren't failures though for not getting it for the first time, rather they are if they quit.

3. Motivation:

Think about your favorite movie, song or book. Now, what if they stopped trying? That favorite song, book or movie wouldn't exist. If you give up, someone out there won't have a chance to have your work as a favorite. Think about it.

Remember that rejection doesn't have to be the end of your journey unless you let it be. Good Luck!

Methods To Get Payments On Ebay

2010-04-25T01:57:00.000-07:00

Gone are the days when only cash (or cattle in some cases) was the only accepted mode of payment for trades. As the concept of trading evolved, so did the means of paying for items.

Today’s electronic world pushes the envelop further. With the advent of online trading systems such as e Bay, many new forms of payment have flourished.

First of all, on e Bay, the mode of payment depends on the agreement between the buyer and the seller. Most often, the seller will specify his or her desired payment method. In these cases, the seller often has primacy in the decisions regarding payment modes. However, the buyer may still communicate with the seller regarding a viable alternative if it suits both parties.

The following is a list of common e Bay payment modes.

Cash On Delivery

Cash is, after all, still cash. This payment method can be done through a third party courier system or by the buyer and seller meeting each other at an agreed place. The advantage of a cash transaction is that the exchange of the item for payment is done in the presence of the buyer and the seller (or the seller’s representative). However, some people will not accept the risk present when two strangers meet.

Personal Check

One popular method of payment is personal check. Writing checks is easy and safe. However, many sellers do not like accepting check because they are easy to cancel.

Pay Pal

Pay Pal is the payment of choice on e Bay. In fact, e Bay owns Pay Pal.

Using Pay Pal is easy, convenient, and relatively safe. Pay Pal acts as like an internet ‘wire transfer.’

After signing-up for Pay Pal, one may send cash to anyone with an email address using the Pay Pal system. Pay Pal also has security features that safeguard against fraud in case there is a dispute between the seller and the buyer. This system is best for transactions up to $1000.

Escrow.com

Escrow.com is the payment of choice for purchases over $500. Escrow.com holds the buyer’s money from the seller until the seller delivers the item. Only then will the funds be released to the seller. This system makes for a very safe, although highly procedural transaction.

Wire Transfer

This is the payment of choice for countries that do not carry the Pay Pal service. Wire transfers are risky because the buyer usually has to wire over the funds before the seller sends the items. The chance for non-delivery of items is high.

Other Payment Systems

The number of third party payment services is steadily on the rise. Their systems for payment vary. However, to be successful they must be convenient to use and safe as well.

Do Youn Want to Write a Best-seller?

2010-04-25T01:46:00.000-07:00

When beggars receive freshly minted coins from the lords with a bow and a smile, it is not that they do not desire to ride horses as the masters do. But wishes don’t ride horses.

I have oftentimes been contacted by many young writers for suggestions to develop a story. After they receive the ideas, they
chicken out.

One of them—a female American—wanted help to develop what I think is a great story. You probably know about it: Ted Kennedy watching on as his girlfriend drowned in a river.

I pity such dreamers. They are among the world’s eminent failures.

It will therefore be a miracle if you yourself will ever write a book after reading this. If you do, then thumbs up, for you belong to the few great minds on earth today.

Anywhere you look today, 20 percent of the people are getting 80 percent of the best things in life. Or put another way, 80 percent of all good things belong to 20 percent of the people. Or,one person succeeds out of five! So, 80 percent of all best-sellers today are written by 20 percent of the writers. And, out of about
five writers, only one has written a best-seller. Where is the other four?

Out of five writers that thought of writing, only one wrote. Out of five people that wrote, only one got published. And out of the five that got published, only one became a best-seller. That is the principle of life: Only those who back their desire with action succeed. For nobody has “the power to curse the darkness” someone says, “unless he has the courage to light a candle.”

You don’t write best-sellers by wishing that you did, and go to sit on the sandy beach of the Pacific Ocean dreaming of your millions and far away islands with lollipop names. Don Quixote the great visioner didn’t even do that. At least he fought imaginary enemies. What did Hippocrates say? “Ars longa. Vita brevis.” Translation: “Arts is long but life is short.” The point then is this: Don’t dream it; WRITE IT!

Best-selling books don’t just happen; just as good writers don’t grow on trees. You have to work hard—put your heart in your work, to write a mega-yield title. Today, everyone is falling heads over heels for the magic of Harry Potter. But if J.K. Rowling—the single mother—didn’t have the gumption to write herself off the dole, the story of Harry Potter wouldn’t have been written or read. A number of factors help to make best-sellers. I have provided a number of those factors here to help you write that your echo-Bible.

Write on a best-selling topic.

I have listed 10 best-selling topics in the early chapter of this book. Why not think of working on one of them?

But think carefully before you choose a subject. You don’t want to write on a topic because everyone is writing on it and
winning prizes.

I can tell you what is happening this moment zillions of light

years up there in the world of stars and galaxies. But can you imagine that? If things like that are beyond your imagination, then don’t dream of writing science fiction. Come down to earth and spy on your neighbors who are marrying this moment and divorcing after the wedding day.

You will be at home here. And you are probably familiar with stories of that sort. Like the man who married a woman and
divorced her after having 7 male children for him. (He badly needed female children to pay off his debts from the dowries on their wedding day.) His divorced wife remarried and got a baby girl while the man married a second wife and had a male as well. They divorced again and remarried and had a ninth boy.

And the man sold all the boys to pay his debts.

Why don’t you give the story a new angle? The world has had

stories of Siamese twins. But have they had of the birth of a seven-headed baby girl by a desperate parent who sought the
assistance of a witch?

Don’t miss an opportunity to write a best-seller from great news events. Such stories present little research challenges.

Do you remember the British boy who wanted to be famous, climbed the wall of Buckingham Palace and made his way into the queen’s bedroom? When the cops came
to the rescue they met him helping himself with a glass of wine and chatting with the queen. And the police, thinking of what
offence he has committed, thought of charging him of stealing a bottle of wine. (Did the boy say that the queen was her lover?)

There is a similar one of an American boy who shot former president Reagan. Best-sellers are made of such stuff.

Master your subject

You can’t do a good story if you do not know your topic.

You will even find it difficult to communicate because you will be groping for words, qualifying every word, or
reaching out for every figure of speech and idiom in the book.Bad writing! A good reader will find out that you are not a
master of your subject, and you are done in.

You have every opportunity to research your story. You have the libraries. And thank God, there is the Web. Why not
take advantage of it?

This is very important if you are writing a factual story. But even then that word “factual” has changed meaning. But there has to be a measure of credibility in your work.

Writers don’t just write. They educate. Would the reader find something to learn from your story?

Know your audience

This is one of the first things for you to consider before you begin writing your book. For example, are you writing for
men / women; boys / girls; youths / adults; learned / general, reader?

When J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Porter, she had the youths in mind. Youths are, however, fast in spreading words about a book that they enjoyed reading. But Harry Porter happened to have a subject matter that interests the adults as well. Now readers in the two worlds read the book

Do you earn online with the help of your website?

2010-04-25T01:13:00.000-07:00

Hey folks....I was just going through a discussion a few mins back and I personally feel yes that the PPC is not the thing to waist time on ...I did try clixsense last year.They got me to upgrade to a premium member and guess what I did get enough clicks to earn what I gave them so that is just a load @#$p.

Being very honest,I know a lot of us cannot find any other way apart from this and thus end up doing doing so and that was the case with me last year.

But after a lot of research and invest of time and money I have come to learn that to earn online,one needs to have a website and the time we spend on clicking on links for nothing should be ideally spent on your website to make it better and the effort should be to get people to visit your website.Its not always about selling,it can be anything that you are good at.

My personal suggestion to all those who want to earn online is t seriously have a website and work on it.Trust me pays a lot more that what you get for just stupid clicking stuff..

All the best!!!!
