How to get your own ISBN for books you write:

An ISBN number is really needed to give you a professional appearance -- and to open up the possibility of bookstore sales. It provides an internationally accepted tracking system -- most bookstores, including Amazon, will not handle anything without one.

 

Here's the site - R.R. Bowker -- http://www.isbn.org/standards/home/index.asp It's the only site -- so it's not like you can shop any competitors.

You have to get a minimum of 10 numbers -- but then you're set for paperback, hardback, CDs, electronic versions, etc.

If you’re using independent contractors, have them complete this form and keep it on file:
Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf

If you pay someone more than $600 in a calendar year, you will need to submit a 1099 for that person:http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1099msc.pdf

I get so many questions about doing “ministry” or something to make money. My advice – do both.
Here’s a article from my friend Rabbi Daniel Lapin: Selling is Spiritualhttp://www.rabbidaniellapin.com/thoughttools_htmlversion.php?id=112

COPYRIGHTS

A copyright is the legal protection for patterns, board games,newspapers, articles, books, music, computer software, plays, poetry, movies, maps and drawings – among many other things.
As opposed to patents and trademarks, a copyright exists automatically upon the creation of the work. I know this is hard to understand, but if you write a book, no registration is necessary for it to be copyrighted. Copyright originates automatically and immediately when the work is created. And yes, you can use the © symbol just to remind anyone that copyright protection is being claimed on this work. (Incidentally, I am pulling these symbols from “Insert” on the Microsoft Word toolbar at the top of the page. It’s easy to pick and insert any symbol you need. Copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus 50 years and need no renewal. Here’s the link for the U.S. Library of Congress Copyright Office:
 

Selling Novelty Items:


I was trying to find an older podcast on your web site in which you mentioned a man who sells pencils on his web site, as a humorous novelty item, but I can't remember the name of the web site, and searching your podcast summaries didn't turn up anything. Here it is. Silvana Clark has sold over 85,000 of her panic buttons with no advertising.

What is the best way to network with other small business owners to get the kind of support I need? Business Network International (BNI) – Chamber of Commerce – Career Transition Groups, SCORE seminars, get involved on 48Days.net


Dan’s Eagles Club Guidelines:

As you can see, this is pretty informal. We just started meeting each week from 7:00 to 8:30 AM on Wednesdays and the group has developed its own identity over time.
 
Occam’s Razor–it’s a scientific concept that has to do with finding the simplest explanation. But here………………………. I mention this frequently as a principle for business. If you want to sell 50,000 books you can look for 50,000 individuals to purchase one – or you can look for one organization that would order 50,000.
