All I can say in my own defense is that I am a really stubborn
SOB and I'm won't let it sit and grow mold. If I think that the
tutorials that are given to me are unworkable I WILL tell everybody.
However if I think it's good to go, I will make it work. And quickly.
Been there done this before.
I've been thinking of this along the lines of "what would I like to see
in a tutorials book" and I have a pretty good idea how this will be
presented. I personally hate ebooks and pdf files, because I want
to have something to put in front of me while I work, and have
the ability to make notes in the margins too.
My goal is to make this into a full color paperback book with a spiral
binding so it lays flat. I also want to include a few pages in the
back for advertising and coupons. The approximate price of a book
like this would be around $20-30, but if it goes over 100 pages that could
go higher than that. Again - this would have to be a value packed
book with enough tutorials and info (both old and new) to make it
worth that price. It would have to be something that I PERSONALLY
would be willing to buy.
A significant chunk of that would be going back to LE. I do not plan on
making any money on this myself (with the exception of any operating
expenses and perhaps skimming some money of the top to pay for a few
cappuccinos from Starbucks if I have to work past midnight. Indulge me).
Again - the quality of the book would depend entirely on the material I
am given to work with - if the stuff is blurry and crappy it won't print
well, and I won't work with it (and I WILL tell everyone why).
However, if it is decent quality, and I am able to secure written authorization
from the authors of the tutorials to present it in a book format for LE
than it can be accomplished fairly quickly.
And regarding getting it out to people, like I told others - I've managed MANY
bulk buys (last one ran over $10,000) and when any problems came up any
complaints were dealt with in a timely fashion. No one was left hanging, and
all problems were resolved to everyone's satisfaction. My communication skills
border on obsessive - I made sure everybody knew from minute to minute what
was going on. That's how you run things like this. Treat customers like you are
stalking them and everybody's happy.
Again....just sittin' 'round waiting for something to come my way......
Twiddle dee dee........
