Fine, if you do not have a way of selling on your site, and fulfilling your own orders. What about your own web site? Do you have a great web site? How many people know where you are? Is your site SEO (search engine optimized?) The truth is, it is often better to… Continue

Stoneheart On Audio

I just finished editing the audio version my book. The process was painful, time comsuming, and tedious. I ended up using Sounbooth CS4 by Adobe to get the job done. I used Lynda.com to learn the software, at least the two features I was interested in: recording and editing. Adobe offers a 30 day free trial which allowed me to lay down the entire 360 pages and then edit it. Unfortunately, I found a few errors after I thought I was finished, so I had to buy the program in the end. How did the res… Continue
