Comment by Ericka Joseph on Monday: Hi Everyone:

Udemy.com is offering 75% off of their online classes, to include mine. Sale ends 22 May. Use coupon code: FLASH75. They have great catalog of different classes to choose from.

Comment by Ericka Joseph on May 18, 2013 at 8:47am: Hi Rod:

Yes, I have been busy, I am in slow motion as I formulate my marketing for the ebooks and preparing for Blogtalk in Sep. As for formatting the books, once I complete the word doc, I send it to a great guy on Fiverr. He will format up to 100 pages for $5 with a 2 day turnaround and will give you both the mobi and epub. I placed his link in my Fiverr gig "How to Flow Chart for Entrepreneurs"

At some point I will dis-enroll from the KDP Select and place my books on Barnes and Noble Nook

Thanks to those who downloaded the ebook Plan2Win@Parentining: Different tools for different times during the promotion release dates.

Final count: 91

I submitted to: The Kindle Book Review, Free Book Dude, Snickslist. I Tweeted to: Pixel of Ink, Goodreads, Free Kindle books to include my contacts/followers on all my social media sites and email.

I am now curious to see how sales flow after the promo with people buying on Amazon.

Out of my four books my #1 Best downloaded during promotion and best consistent sales is "How to setup a Monthly Budget: Organize your financial life"
