Book Giveaway: Marketing Shortcuts For The Self-Employed

I have an awesome book to GIVE to one of my readers today. Patrick Schwerdtfeger sent me a brand new SIGNED copy of his popular book "Marketing Shortcuts for the Self-Employed; Leverage Resources, Establish Online Credibility, and Crush Your Competition."

*All you have to do for a chance to win this book is to leave a comment on this blog post. That's all there is to it!

About The Author
Patrick Schwerdtfeger is the author of "Marketing Shortcuts for the Self-Employed" (2011, Wiley & Sons, Inc.) and is a regular speaker for Bloomberg TV. He has spoken about modern entrepreneurship and the social media revolution at conferences and business events around the world.
Patrick is a passionate and dynamic speaker who focuses on delivering valuable content and highly practical strategies people can implement immediately and see actual results. His programs consistently get strong reviews and leave attendees burning to put their new strategies to work.

My Thoughts
All self-employed business people face the challenge of marketing. Entrepreneurs, small business owners, and self-employed service professionals often have a small or no staff, limited cash and too little time in the day to execute a marketing campaign.

This book is a step-by-step marketing road map for growing your business. Internet marketing is the main focus of this book because of the tremendous opportunities that exist online.

"Marketing Shortcuts for the Self-Employed" contains 80 chapters that each contain three or four pages of valuable information. Each chapter has an "Implementation Checklist" at the conclusion of the text. This checklist summarizes the text and provides specific ACTION steps that you can do. You will check-off the tasks as you complete them.

The chapters in this book are divided into the following topics;

• Define Your Business Model
• Plan Your Internet Presence
• Build Your Website And Blog
• Populate Internet Properties
• Attract Qualified Prospects
• Leverage Social Media
• Conclusion And Execution

I have read many books on Internet marketing in the past several years. I believe this is the closest thing to a practical, hands-on guide that I have ever seen. I found the concise, specific information very informative and challenging. This book will benefit experienced social media professionals as well as newbies. I assure you that if you follow the instructions is this book, in the order they are given, you will "establish online credibility and crush your competition." It might take weeks, months or even years to complete this book, but it will be well worth the time and resources that you invest. This book is a "must-read" for all who are ready to take their business to the next level.

Me And My Big Mouth WINNER

We have a WINNER! Last week I sponsored a book giveaway to find a new home for Me and My Big Mouth: Your Answer is Right Under Your Nose by Joyce Meyer. The contest ran from January 16th until January 24th.  I had an excellent responce and I am thrilled that so many people are interested in reading this book.  I wish I had enough books to give each one of you a copy.
This afternoon, I assigned each comment that was posted on the book giveaway blog a number, cut the numbers apart and then put them in a large bowl.  I asked God to help me draw the name of a person who was truly seeking a closer relationship with God.

I honestly believe that each one of you are sincere in your desire to have a closer relationship with God BUT I just have one book to give away, so I asked for Divine assistance in drawing a winner.
I am not going to report the name of the winner this week because I would like to share the email that she sent me after I sent her the notification that she would be receiving this book. 

"Oh my goodness THANK YOU! That really brought tears to my eyes!  I would have commented alot more under there but I didn't want everyone to read it.  I used to be SO close to God, then I got married and moved 70 miles from my home church and had a baby.  I work weenends so I haven't gone to church in a year and I REALLY need something to help me get back on track.  Lord for some reason I'm just crying so much as I write this.  I mean, I could have bought the book but maybe its nice to know GOD still cares about me."

It is a real honor for me to sponsor these book giveaway contests.  I am so pleased that the books are going to people who will be blessed by them.
I will be sponsoring another book giveaway contest very soon so please check this blog daily and pray that these contests are making a difference and changing lives.

Is your mouth busy telling about all the troubles in your life?  Does it seem as though your mouth has a mind of its own? This book will show you how to put your mouth on a crash course to victory! 

"You and I go through life with an awesome power - like fire or electricity or nuclear energy - right under our noses, one that can produce death or life, depending on how it is used." - Joyce Meyer

Joyce Meyer will show you how to train your mouth to speak words that will put you over in this life.  She emphasizes that speaking the Word of God must be coupled with living a life of complete obedience to the Word of God in order to see the full power of God flowing in your life.

Battlefield Of The Mind Giveaway WINNER

We have a WINNER!  Last week I sponsored a book giveaway to find a new home for Battlefield of the Mind: Winning the Battle in Your Mind by Joyce Meyer.  The contest ran from January 7th until January 14th. This was the biggest book giveaway yet!  Thirty-nine readers left a comment on the post saying they would like to read this book.  I wish I had enough books to give each one of you a copy.
I love to do my drawings the old-fashioned way.  I wrote down numbers 1 - 39 on a piece of paper and cut each number out.  I then folded the numbers and put them in a big bowl.  I mixed them all up and then I said the following prayer, "Lord, please let me pick a person who will read this book and is serious about gaining a closer relationship with you".
I reached in the bowl and pulled out number 36.  I emailed Summer yesterday evening and received the following reply from her this morning, "The reason why I entered is to become closer to God. I think He wants the same thing because I don't win very many giveaways but I have won 4 books so far by Joyce Meyer. I'm very excited about this book."
Congratulations to Summer!  I want to thank each one of you for entering this contest.  Many of you have become followers of this blog and I am just thrilled to have you as part of the family.  You have sent a clear message that you love to read Joyce Meyer books SO.....I will annouce another Joyce Meyer book giveaway tomorrow.  The name of the book in next week's giveaway is Me and My Big Mouth: Your Answer is Right Under Your Nose.  Hope to see you tomorrow!

Book Giveaway: Debbie Macomber Christmas

This week I have two Christmas books that I am going to give away.  The lucky winner should receive these books right after Thanksgiving.  These books will be perfect to read as you prepare for the Christmas season.  If you don't have time to read both books, you might want to share one with a friend.  Debbie Macomber is a very popular author and is known for her realistic, down-home stories. 
The first book is Small Town Christmas: Return To Promise\Mail-Order Bride.  This book combines the following two stories;
"Return To Promise" ~ Promise, Texas, is a good place to live with the person you love. When rancher Cal Patterson and his wife Jane face a threat to their marriage, she leaves Promise, the town that's become her home as much as his.  Will Jane be back by Christmas?  Because, for both of them, the greatest gift of all would be her return to Promise.
"Mail Order Bride" ~ Gold River, Alaska, isn't your average town.  After being jilted by her fiance, Caroline Myers ends up there - thanks to her matchmaking aunts, who send her on what appears to be an autumn vacation.  Not surprisingly, they have something different in mind.  Something that involves spending a snowy Christmas in handsome Paul Trevor's home - as his mail-order bride.

The second book that I am giving away is On a Snowy Night: The Christmas Basket\The Snow Bride.  This book has the following two stories;
"The Christmas Basket" ~ More than ten years ago, high-school sweethearts Noelle McDowell and Thomas Sutton planned to elope - but then he jilted her.  This Christmas, Noelle is home to celebrate the holidays, and she and Thom discover they are still in love. Now only the decades-old rivalry between their mothers stands in the way of a second chance together.
"The Snow Bride" ~ It's a month before Christmas and Jenna Campbell is flying to Alaska to marry a man she met on the Internet - until her seatmate takes it upon himself to change her plans.  Which is how Jenna ends up stranded in tiny Snowbound, Alaska, alone with Reid Jamison (plus a bunch of eccentric old men and a few grizzly bears.)  And then there's a blizzard...Maybe she'll be a Christmas bride after all!

How To Enter
Just leave a comment on this blog post and you will be entered to win the contest. Don't know what to write? Just tell me, "I want to read the Debbie Macomber Christmas books!"

Book Giveaway: The Love Revolution

I am really excited about the response to my book giveaways.  I love to read and have tons of books.  I am thrilled to pass these books along to my fellow book lovers.
This week I am giving away a copy of The Love Revolution by Joyce Meyer.  Joyce Meyer has a world-wide Christian ministry and has written dozens of books.  I was really inspired by this book because it challenged me to reach out to others and try to make a difference in their lives.  She said you don't have to do anything big or spectacular.  The little things that you can do everyday have the potential to have a much greater impact than you can imagine.

Book Giveaway Winner

We Have A Winner!

Last week I wrote a post on this blog offering to give away a copy of The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.  The only thing you had to do to enter the contest was to post a comment to this blog.

I want to thank the 14 readers who took the time to post comments and enter this contest.  I wrote each person's name on a piece of paper and put them in a large bowl.  I drew out the winner last Friday.  I sent this person two emails asking for a shipping address but I did not get a reply.

On Wednesday, I drew another name and recived a prompt reply.  The winner is Theresa (babytrees) from Maryland.  I shipped the book out yesterday and I hope she enjoys reading this book as much as I did.

I am planning another book giveaway next week so please check back soon.

I am having some trouble with my domain registration so please use the full web address (http://janettefuller.blogspot.com/) when coming back to visit.

Book Giveaway: The Last Lecture

Randy Pausch was a professor of Computer Science, Human Computer Interaction, and Design at Carnegie Mellon University.  Pausch learned that he had pancreatic cancer in September 2006, and in August 2007 he was given a terminal diagnosis: "3 to 6 months of good health left".   Mr. Pausch gave an upbeat lecture entitled "The Last Lecture: Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"on September 18, 2007 at Carnegie Mellon, which became a popular YouTube video and led to other media appearances. He then co-authored a book called The Last Lecture on the same theme, which became a New York Times best-seller. Pausch died of complications from pancreatic cancer on July 25, 2008.

I have a hardback copy of this book that I would like to give to one of my blog readers.  I have read this book and it shows some light wear, but it is still in very good condition.  I am going to give this book away at 12:00 noon this Friday, October 15.  All you have to do to enter this contest is to post a comment on this blog post telling me ~ "I want to read the lecture."  That is all there is to it.  I will ship this book to any country in the world so please do not hesitate to enter.  I will have a random drawing on Friday and email you if you are the winner.  If the winner does not email with his/her mailing address by Monday evening, I will choose another name.

This is a very touching and inspiring book.  You can read all the way through it in a couple of hours and you will probably want to read it over several times.  Please don't wait ~ Add your comment on this blog right now so you will be entered in the contest.

We Have A Winner

I want to thank everyone who participated in The Last Surgeon book giveaway contest.  There were eight people who posted comments on the blog.  I used Random.Org to generate a list of eight numbers in random order.

The WINNER is littleeagle1953.  I sent her an email asking for her shipping information and I have already heard from her.  I have emailed her information to Dr. Palmer and he will be sending her a signed copy of his new book soon.

This is the first time I have had a contest on this blog and I am very happy with the results.  I am already thinking about the next contest!

THANK YOU to all who participated.
