Making other gamblers in a casino poker room can give you a big advantage. Here are some ways you can make it seem like it is your first time in a casinos poker room. The poker rooms host or hostess will walk you to your poker table. The people at the table will be expecting a new player and will be looking to see who they will bring over, so make sure from the moment you walk into the casinos poker room you have your gambling face on. The bluffing in poker does not start at the table it starts the minute you enter the room. They will be looking to size you up, so make sure you throw them off from the get go, this way all assumptions they make based on that first impression will be wrong. Look around the room in amazement; maybe even stumble a bit because you were looking around and not where you were going. In an online poker game you do not have to worry about making faces or noises of pleasure when you get a good hand unless you are on webcam, but when you are playing texas holdem in a casinos poker room the other players are watching you to see your expressions during the deal and when the communal cards are being turned over. When you have a really bad hand and are going to fold make sure to let it show on your face. Then when you fold people will think they have a read on you and will always rely on your face to show what you have this can allow you to bluff them from time to time. During the game, eventually you will get a good hand, when this occurs you should start betting big and keep raising the bet, then if someone challenges you try to raise the bet past the table limit. This will make it obvious that you have very little experience in a casino. The point is that you need to win this hand, so do not start raising the bet unless you are sure you have a good chance of winning. You should make sure to have at least a full house in your hand at the time, but if you do lose the hand it also lend credibility to the illusion that you o not know what you are doing in the poker room. It is also good if at the beginning to just play bad. Stay in and bet big with just a pair in your hand. If I was at a table with someone who played like that I would assume they either did not know how to play, they just do not play well or they just do not play often, and I would assume that this player was a fish. Just as you should dress for success in the business world in the world of casino poker room texas holdem you have to dress right. Normally you would not want to look like an idiot at the poker table, but in this case you do want to look stupid. If you watch poker on TV you see how the pros dress, this is not at all how a normal gambler would dress in a poker room, but if you dress like this the people will think that you just watch too much television and won’t take you for a serious player. Always Remember you want people to think that you are a first time player, but you also want to win some money, so playing foolish the entire time will make them think that you obviously do not know how to play, but you are not going to win any of their money and they are going to go home with yours. This is not the kind of thing that you need to set up for the next time you are at that casino. Jack Reider loves to play poker online in several different online casinos and poker rooms When he has time off of work he like to travel to casinos around the world.

College students tend to wax enthusiastic about the lessons they pick up in class. Curiously, this very admirable trait, a thirst for knowledge, has a downside to it. When one learns at a rate best described as “alarming,” which college students often must do, little time exists to sit and sift through all that new material carefully. And this burdensome task would mandate yet more study time, which luxury few students can afford. This means that, for very practical reasons, they will tend to accept readily the sermons that echo from academic pulpits. Consumers of media information have nearly the same problem — a large flow of information thrust at them, and little time to sort through it. Election years only magnify this problem, and political candidates can grind axes with the best of them. When a scandal breaks out, the media blitz can sometimes blind even the more critical viewers. So we have done some of the extra homework for these groups to help them make the best of this unhappy situation. Here, we offer a clear-headed set of rules to disperse the fog quickly, adding daylight to the topic at hand. As a first step in adopting a cautiously critical posture, we would like to introduce the rule, “take careful notes and develop a long memory by referring back to them now and again.” Spin-doctors count on the fact — a most unhappy truth — that most people do not remember what the sales script said that they fed to the masses last week. This way, when they later change the story, you can call them on it. If it’s a political speech in question, “Tivo” it, so you can play it back when later when spin proponents deny that their guy ever said it in the first place. Second, isolate the parts of the speech or lecture that seem to form the main points of the argument. Often this or that advocate will avoid stating the main points of his argument explicitly, only implying them. Make the implied parts explicit yourself by asking, “what assumption(s), does this depend upon that he has not stated openly?” Then write them down. For instance, if one were to argue, “We had to attack his country because the guy is a tyrant,” then note that this assumes — unless otherwise qualified — that we must attack all countries where tyrants rule. Given today’s political climate, this would not promote a very promising course of action. So stated, we would have to attack almost everyone, starting with the I.R.S. So remember to make a list of the important claims in question — whether the speaker or writer has stated, implied, or simply assumed them. Third, “Always examine a claim by itself first.” This provides a fast and easy way to prevent reckless professors, for instance, from hoodwinking students into bogus philosophies (as is their custom). For instance, consider the popular claim, “There are no moral absolutes.” This would mean that claims about morality necessarily have exceptions. Evaluating this claim by its own words, however, quickly reveals that it provides to us an example of a moral absolute. It allows no exception, while speaking to the topic of morality. Ironically, then, the claim instances an example of just what it denies. The claim cannot be true on ITS OWN terms. Such claims would play the roles of felon AND whistleblower all at once. They represent a form of logical or propositional suicide, since they affirm by example, and yet forbid by principle, the very same thing. Look for these and you will find more than you imagine might suffuse popular chatter. Fourth, compare and contrast these claims, assumptions, and implied assertions with one another, asking, “Are these logically consistent with each other, or do they get along like Larry, Moe and Curly when the ladder-swinging begins, and the paintbrushes start to fly?” Sometimes speakers will utter logically incompatible sayings within a very short span. So you will need to learn to identify them to note when this happens. Here, you will have located spin, exaggeration, unwarranted claims, or even outright lies. You might even get two-for-one. For instance, when the U.S. invaded Iraq, it did so against the voice of the U.N. inspectors, who wanted more time. This shows that the U.S. (or at least the current administration) believes it proper to ignore whatever authority the U.N. might have when it deems it necessary. Yet when Iraq defied the very same U.N. authority (Saddam, as we say, “dissed” the U.N. inspectors) the Bush administration claimed that this provided grounds to invade Iraq. The “Okay for us, but not for them” trick is called the fallacy of self-exception. One commits this error in reasoning when he lays down a rule for everyone or every argument, and then arbitrarily excuses himself (or his position) from following, or being subject to, the same rule. Finally, spin-doctors notoriously create mind-fog by abusing langauge. Sometimes they utter deliberately vague or ambiguous sayings. Sometimes they simply make fine-sounding claims and offer no proof. You have heard this many times: “Our product delivers twice the chocolatey goodness and only half the calories!!” (And Joe Fried-potato, who happens to be wider than your dining room, AGREES!!). The simple way to fight mind-fog comes from asking questions that clarify. For instance, in your criminology course, you might ask Professor Plumb, “Professor, you said something about a candlestick in a library. Precisely what did you mean by “candlestick,” and did you mean to refer to this literally, or as some sort of symbol that stands for something else? Press the point, when you feel that someone tries to sell you something, as it were, under-the-table — and make them sell it over-the-counter instead. Make them say just what they mean, clearly and precisely. Once you have a clearer idea of the nature of the claim he wishes to promote, you can toss it into the pool of “noted claims to compare and contrast,” first measuring that claim by itself, and then by checking it against the other claims in the pool. Some claims will swim, while others will plunge like the Titanic at an iceberg party. Here, just below, we have collected a few of our favorite sayings popular on college campuses, most of which we have heard Professor Spin mumble more than once from his academic pulpit. Not only do most of these refute themselves, but they also don’t get along with each other very well, as we will see. Our helpful and irreverent responses to these appear in brackets. 1. No one can really know anything for sure, when all is said and done. [Really? Are you certain?] 2. All religions are equally valid [Most, but not all, religions deny this] [But we are absolutely sure this is true anyway]. 3. We must tolerate all views [except those which deny this][Which includes most, but not all, religions] [but we are absolutely sure that the dissenting religions are all equally wrong][And, of course, we will not tolerate those dogmatic religions]. 4. There are no ethical absolutes [And we mean absolutely none] [Note: This claim contradicts #1, 2, and 3 also.] 5. Slavery is wrong [Although this is true, we put it here so you would notice that it contradicts #1, #2, #3 and #4, which shows that claims 1-4 are false, but popular enough anyway]. 6. Education is the key to solving the world’s problems [Unless we count all the logical problems created by educated people (see above) who say impossible things]. [Note: this also contradicts #1, #2, and #4.] 7. Your western views are too binary [You see, there are only binary views, and non-binary ones — which is itself a binary view — oops] [hint: all views logically exclude some other views] [Which, of course, shows that NOT all views are equally valid] [Some views, like “the earth is flat” are just goofy, and these are only “equally vaild” with other stupid ideas]. 8. Religion is responsible for killing too many people [which implies that murder is wrong, even though this sounds like a moral absolute] [This also contradicts claims #1-4, and #7.] [And note that, if this statement were true, it would render all religions equally bad, not “equally valid,” whatever that might mean]. 9. Bible-thumping Christians are too dogmatic. [It is written: Thou shalt not be dogmatic!] [And we are sure of this] [So, follow instead OUR dogma, even though it refutes itself] [Which means that BTC’s should not be tolerated, contrary to #3 above] [And that their religion is not “equally valid” with non-thumping religions, contrary to #2]. We could go on, and have great fun doing it, but you get the point. This band of hired accusers failed to coordinate their testimonies in advance. And so many of the views promulgated from academic pulpits turn out just a little nuttier than Jif. Just because a confused-but-confident professor, politician, or spin-doctor says it loudly and often — this doesn’t make it true. So when she says, “question authority,” you might want to take her at her word, and start by putting her own claims on the chopping block first. In any case, by keeping these five rules handy, you can arm yourself against all manner of rhetorical shenanigans and verbal skullduggery.

He has also hosted a radio talk-show in Santa Rosa, CA, and wrote a book on the philosophy of science.

“What am I supposed to give Anthony as a wedding gift?” I asked Kristin, my bridesmaid and person-who-was-married. “I mean what kinds of things do brides give their grooms? I was thinking of hiring someone to clean the house before we left for the honeymoon so we’d come back to a spotless house. Is that a good wedding gift?” “Um, no,” she said gently, so as not to make me feel like an idiot. “It should be something personal. Like, you could paint him a picture, or make a scrapbook, or write him a poem…” A poem? Why, I had at least a dozen poems I’d written about him that he’d never seen. And if I wrote a few more, I’d have a whole chapbook! That’s exactly what I did. Over the next couple of months, I wrote more poems. I wrote the final one the day before our wedding, capturing my feelings on the eve of our marriage. Then I printed them out, three-hole-punched them, made a cardstock cover, and tied the pages together with ribbon. On our wedding day, I took him aside after our ceremony and read him the last poem. It was a perfect gift. But you don’t have to wait for such a monumental occasion to use writing as a gift. One of my friends writes children’s books and illustrates them, then gives them to her grandkids on their birthdays. A successful greeting card publisher started out her business because she used to write original cards for all of her family and friends– they loved them so much that they encouraged her to offer her sentiments to the masses. I’ve also “donated” personal essays to anthologies; just so I could give the book as a gift to the person the essay was about. I wrote a love letter to Anthony and sent it off to be published in the anthology Love Letters of a Lifetime, then gave it to him for Valentine’s Day. A poem I wrote for my grandmother was made into a plaque by the James Lawrence Company. A poem to my mother was made into a plaque as well, which I gave her for Mother’s Day. For my bridal shower, a family friend gave me two journals: one for Anthony, one for me. On the card, she wrote her instructions: We were to write in our journals every day, and exchange them on our first anniversary. Your words don’t have to be published to be gifts. You can design your own prints, cards, banners, and books on your computer, or go truly hand-made and pick up a pack of construction paper and markers. If you want to get fancy, you can hire an artist to make you a cover or design your work for you. Finding them couldn’t be simpler: try Googling “illustrators,” “graphic designers,” or “artists” and see for yourself! You may write and self-publish your family history as a gift for all your relatives and future generations. Print-on-demand companies make this an affordable option if you shop around and do away with the “extras.” You may use a program like Greetings Workshop to design a calendar. You can insert your own photos and poems or short sentiments, and even write in your own imaginative holidays. Write your own romance, starring you and your significant other, as an anniversary gift. (Could be a short story or a novella if you’re feeling ambitious!) Write a story to be read every Christmas as a new family tradition. Write an inspirational poem for a relative who’s in the hospital. Write a limerick to stick in your daughter’s lunchbox. At the local printer, a personalization shop, or several places online, you can have your words made up into a t-shirt, mug, poster, bumper sticker, magnet, or plaque. It’s wonderful to find that strangers enjoy your published words, but it can be even nicer to find that your words can light up your children’s eyes, or your spouse’s, or your parents’. A gift of your talent and your heart is generous, and more meaningful than anything you could get at the local mega-mall. Spend some time today writing for someone you love.

The fly cover of On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan describes the book as “a short novel of remarkable depth by a writer at the height of his powers”. On Chesil Beach was recently short-listed for the Man Booker Prize, but lost out to Anne Enright’s The Gathering. I have read both books and, for me at least, what is so amazing is the mere fact that two such utterly different concepts could have been considered for the same prize. It is reassuringly astounding that the “genre” of literary fiction can be home to every style, every emotion, every approach, every outcome, everything imaginable and much that is real. Those who write book blurbs are often prone to hyperbole. The greatest, the best, the most, the biggest, the most superlative are terms of mundane commonplace. The term “best selling” is usually an empty platitude. “Real” often signifies “very”, but without the latter’s imagined meaning. So what can we make of “a short novel of remarkable depth by a writer at the height of his powers”? In the case of On Chesil Beach this blurb is an understatement, but it is essentially accurate and justified. If I were to write a blurb for this Ian McEwan novel, I would use a single word: masterpiece. I will offer only the merest summary of the plot to provide context, because the book effectively deals with just one event, a newlywed couple’s wedding night. What happens to them is the book’s crucial point, so to reveal it would render the reading less rewarding. Suffice it to say that Edward and Florence are newlyweds and they are in a Dorset hotel for their honeymoon. This is the early 1960s, an era when sexuality was not discussed or even approached in the manner of even half a decade later. Edward and Florence are products of their age and of their upbringing. Ian McEwan tells us much of these aspects of their characters in asides and cameos throughout the narrative. When I reviewed the same writer’s Saturday, I described the book as time turned inside out. In that book, across the span of a single day, an entire family is presented through its past, its aspirations, its identities. On Chesil Beach accomplishes a similar feat across a smaller canvas, but in a much more concentrated form, replete with comment, detail, analysis and observation. Florence is solidly middle class, Edward less so. She is a violinist from a musical family. He likes Chuck Berry. They are deeply in love and they marry, but they remain children of their age, and there is the rationale for the book, an examination of their private ideas on how to cope with adulthood, alongside an account of the practicalities. On Chesil Beach has limited objectives, lives mainly in the events of a single evening, but, like Saturday, turn its time inside out, so we have beautifully detailed pictures of both of the nuptials’ families. Coping, or not, is what characterised the age. On Chesil Beach is a masterpiece, beautifully conceived and executed. Do read it.

How fine is my reply in comparison to earlier answers? The “query about the world” is usually about Writing a psychology dissertation psychology dissertations.

Want to know the secret to creating MEMORABLE promotional copy? Sales copy that actually stays with your customers long after they’ve finished reading it? Then master the art of using words to create pictures in your customers’ heads. If you can describe your products or services in such a way that it forms images in your customers’ heads, well, then you’ve just created something that will last long after the marketing is over. Why else do novels stay with us for so long? Those “pictures” we see draw us into the world of the novel, and those pictures stay with us long after we’ve closed the book. If you can create that kind of staying power with your marketing materials, think about how much ahead of your competition you’ll be. So, how do you get started? Below are three tips. (Note how all three tips have the word “specific” in common. Be specific whenever you can. We don’t think in generalities, we think in details. The more specific you are, the stronger the pictures.) 1. Use specific nouns. Quick — what springs to mind when I say the word “bird”? Now erase that image. What pops into your head when I say “cardinal”? When I said bird, you could have pictured any number of bird species or maybe even some sort of generic bird (something brown with wings and feathers). When I said cardinal, I bet you saw a bright red bird with that distinctive triangle head. See the difference? Cardinal is specific and it brings a specific picture to mind. Bird is generic, and it brings a generic picture to mind. Whenever possible, use the most specific noun you can. (However, if the most specific noun is something most people wouldn’t know, say some rare exotic insect only found in the Amazon jungle, then make sure you describe it as well.) 2. Use specific verbs. Verbs breathe life into your copy. They’re the difference between words lying flat and comatose on the page or jumping up and dancing a jig. Verbs bring movement to your copy. They tell your readers if someone is walking, jogging, sauntering, skipping or crawling. Or maybe that someone is exhausted and has decided to lie down for a bit. Now, when I say verbs, what I’m NOT talking about are “to be” verbs — am, is, are, was, were, etc. Those verbs don’t paint a picture. Not like hug, skate, sail, run, fall, spin, flip, etc. See the difference? While “to be” verbs are necessary, the idea is to use them as little as possible. In fact, I have a fiction-writing friend who has a “was/were” rule. Only three “wases/weres” per page. Yep, you heard me right. Per page. Yes, it can be done. I didn’t think I could do it either in my novels. And let me tell you, when you start pruning those “wases/weres” out of your prose, it’s amazing how strong your writing becomes. 3. Describe specific situations. Compare: “Our bookkeeping service is the best in the area. We can take care of all your bookkeeping needs, from invoices to paying bills to reconciling your bank statements.” To this: “Do your invoices go out late because you can’t stand the idea of sitting down to do them? Does your cash flow suffer droughts each month because no checks arrive in the mail (because your invoices went out late)? How much hair have you pulled out over the years because of accounting mistakes? Never fear, those days are over when you hire us to do your bookkeeping.” The first example is generic (take care of bookkeeping needs). The second example shows you HOW the business does it. (In fiction we call it “show, don’t tell.” Good advice, even for copywriters.) You can actually “feel” those business problems — late invoices, cash flow droughts, loss of hair. It’s the difference between something cold and impersonal that really has nothing to do with you and something that wakes you up with a spark of recognition (”Hey, that’s me. I need that.”) Creativity Exercises — See what others are doing Pick a piece of copy. Something with meat — at least 300 words or so. No, it doesn’t have to be something you wrote either. In fact, this exercise might be easier if it isn’t yours. Now analyze it. Look at the nouns. Are they specific? Or are they a bit too generic? What about the verbs? Could they be stronger? And does it describe a specific situation, something that you can actually feel and touch? Try this with a variety of writings — novels, nonfiction books, newspaper articles, Web sites, sales letters, etc. Look at both “good” and “bad” examples. (Although good and bad are somewhat subjective, follow your gut.) See what trends you discover. By analyzing what others are doing, you’re better able to see the strengths and weaknesses in your own writing.

Positioning a message is a lot like good dinner party conversation; you need to learn enough about the person across the table to get the ball rolling. The act of translating this message into information that gets attention and sticks in the minds of your audience is called positioning. Many people struggle with positioning; simply put, it’s using your knowledge about your audience’s interests to help them better understand your organization and, most importantly, what you want them to know and do. Remember, your organization’s needs and wants aren’t those of your audience. The purpose of your communication is to inspire a specific action, which gets the desired result for your organization. All people, whether they are staff, donors or consumers, react to a message based on an emotional appeal. How well you appeal to their needs and interests will make or break the reaction you want. To do this for your organization, you have to consciously and deliberately go through these steps: Step 1: Identify your communications goal. Step 2: List your audiences. Step 3: Identify the concerns or interests of each audience, relating back to your goal. Step 4: Identify the desired result you want from each audience, again specific to your goal. Step 5: Determine the emotional appeal that drives your audience, relating it to their concerns in step 3. Step 6: Apply this knowledge and develop your message. Here’s an example of how this works: Your organization has identified improving governance and financial sustainability as a strategic objective. One of the supporting goals to reaching this objective is to use new accounting software that will track all revenues and expenses. This software was carefully selected for several attributes but it will be a large undertaking to convert data and there is a significant one-time cost. Your communications goal is to gain approval and acceptance of the new software. Your audiences related to this goal would be board (decision makers), staff (implementers). If there are no other audiences that are visibly affected (from their perspective), stop there and focus your efforts on those who will be directly involved or impacted by this change. Your primary audiences are your board and your staff. The board’s approval is needed to move ahead with this initiative. The desired result is to gain their approval. Their concerns would naturally be the cost and impact to the organization. Your message will therefore need to proactively address these issues. Emphasizing the long-term benefits and responsible use of funds could be important messages, for example. Assuming the board agrees, staff will be a key audience, as without their support and buy-in, implementation will fall apart. Their concerns will most likely be the amount of work, and the effect of the conversion on their current procedures. Significant change and the unknown create discomfort for many people, so the important message will be that you want to hear their concerns and that their effort on this project will make their tasks easier in the long run. Once you take a close look at your audiences this way, it becomes clear why one message does not fit all. In summary, follow these guidelines to deliver messages that add value. Know your audience

The idea placed behind article writing is to promote a person, business or opinion and idea. The main purpose of this marketing copy is to persuade the reader of your article to act based on your words. Your article or copy needs to be informative and persuasive; you need to be able to get people on board with your way of thinking and to do this you need to really connect with your audience. If you want your copy to successfully be persuasive you need to ensure that it is emotional and by emotional I mean it needs to address certain aspects such as fun, fear, wealth, vanity or freedom. By appealing to people’s emotions you are more likely to produce persuasive copy. Taking on the challenge of producing copy is not for the faint hearted, especially when it comes to writing copy for online use. This is because online copywriting is a lot different than print article production in the sense that online copywriting is all about SEO techniques, metatags and writing for search engine spiders; unless you are experienced in it or you have a background within this type of copy production it is advised that you enlist the help of a professional when it comes to producing your copy. A professional article writer/copywriter will be able to produce content in a style that is not only persuasive but that is also search engine friendly and that will be easy to read and draw people into wanting to read your copy. In the age that we live in now the Internet is one of the most powerful forms of media and has expanded to a range of opportunities such as web content ads, commercial emails and online media. In order to stay on top business wise when it comes to the Internet you need to ensure that your copy is produced with certain aspects in mind such as you need to make sure that all of the copy and articles that you are producing are wrote from an audiences point of view, that they offer a unique selling point and that you try to use short and gusty words as well as short sentences. Within the media industry it is likely that a copywriter will be working as part of a creative team. This is because a copywriter will be working closely with an agency or advertising department. In cases such as this the copywriter will have ultimate responsibility for the advertisements text content, which will be wrote using information that has been received from a client; an art director then has the responsibility of visual communication. This process of collaboration often helps to improve the work. This emphasises the point that if you require copywriting to be done you should enlist the help of a professional as you will have the best results possible. Copywriting can be produced based on any subject that you desire when you enlist the help of a professional. Professional article writing means that you will be left with content that is persuasive, informative, accurate and second to none as well as ensuring that you have the time needed to run the rest of your business.

Ever wonder how trends get started? As much as we’d like to think that all trends are Madison Avenue creations propagated by the media, many times a movement is sparked by the action of a few. Then word of mouth makes it spread. Author Malcolm Gladwell examines this phenomenon in his 2000 book “The Tipping Point”. There’s a chapter where he describes how this kind of movement by a few groups powered Rebecca Wells’s 1996 novel, “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood”, to surprising success. When I read that I sat up and took notice. I realized I could use the same concepts to market my first novel, “All I Need to Get By”. I did with great success, and I’ll do it again when I launch my next book, “Doing Business By the Book”, this fall. You can too! Here’s how. 1.) Write Your Book So It’s “Sticky” Don’t compromise your artistic integrity, but do ask yourself the hard question: how much will your story appeal to others? When a book is “sticky”, it’s easy to remember. The story stays with people and they want to talk about it and tell others to read it. “Bridget Jones’s Diary” is definitely sticky. So is practically everything that Stephen King ever wrote and all of the Harry Potter books. The topic doesn’t have to be upbeat either. Truman Capote’s “In Cold Blood” was a sensation when it was published despite its grim subject matter. Since I was writing about a family with a powerful father figure I knew a lot of people would connect and see themselves in the characters. What aspect of your book will draw people in? 2.) Be a Salesman Yes, be a salesman, but not in the way you might think. I’m not talking about being “in your face” like the stereotype of a used car salesman. As Mr. Gladwell points out in his book, it’s the little things that can persuade others. For a writer, that “little thing” is confidence and a strong belief in one’s work. I recently spoke to a writer having a hard time feeling confident about her work. She’s trying to get up the courage to submit a manuscript to agents and publishers but, as I said to her, “How can someone get behind publishing your book if you can’t get behind it yourself?” People are attracted to a person who stands for something, who believes in what they’re doing. If you can be that person, people will want to buy your book. They’ll know you have something to say. If you’re dealing with low confidence, know that working on improving it is just as important as improving your craft as a writer. After all, no one is going to champion your book the way that you can. 3.) Use Small Groups To Spark Your Big “Epidemic” In the fertile soil of small groups, word of mouth grows. That’s what happened with “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood”. It became a favorite for book groups, especially mother-daughter book groups. Those groups sparked a word of mouth wave that spread like wildfire. As Mr. Gladwell points out, “small, close-knit groups have the power to magnify the epidemic potential of a message or idea”. I explored this concept with some success by contacting book groups across the country and offering to visit them if they read my novel. What groups can you reach out to in order to harness the power of those circles? And how can you fan the flame of your message so it will spread? One Last Note: Why is all this important? Well, if you’ve gone through all the trouble to write and publish a book, your efforts won’t stand up if you don’t tell people the book is out there. And the concepts offered by Mr. Gladwell are so simple and organic that you may find the whole marketing pill easier to swallow. So take it–it’s good medicine. © 2008 Sophfronia Scott Sophfronia Scott is Executive Editor of The Done For You Writing & Publishing Company.
