There is a fine line between the price being high enough to keep your publisher in business but low enough to encourage sales. Remember, you can always lower the price, but raising it once there is a price printed on the cover is unthinkable.

When you self publish a book the expectation of making a ton of money is unrealistic so let me begin by dispelling the myth about "best-sellers." Such books are few and far between and Harry Potter was a once in 5-billion-book-miracle and lightning does not strike twice. How many people do you know who have won the lottery? I am certain the answer is none, but do not stop dreaming about hitting the publishing pot of gold. I am sure that most of us would be satisfied with just 10% of the Potter success.

What you need to know before you self publish a book.

In any given year there are a billion books in circulation. Once you grasp that astounding number realize that the average book published in the United States sells 5,000 copies. A quantity of 10,000 is considered a "Best-Seller." The authors at the top of the lists are movie stars and politicians, most of them did not write their own books. There is an entire ghost writing industry in the U.S. So the competition is fierce as celebrity opens many doors to publicity, the key to any book success. What that means as a first-time author is that you need to work harder and smarter.

Many or should I say most of us in the developed world are carrying around excess weight. I would even go so far as to say that maybe up to 50% of us have at some point in time, thought about or even tried some fad weight loss diet to rid ourselves of the excess fat, then within having gotten rid of it, you put it back on and in some cases even more than before with in 5 years!! There are approximately 100 million Americans that go through this cycle every year. it is astonishing that over 65% of Americans are over weight or Obese. It could be the same percentage in all other western countries?

Some of the unfortunate side effects of gaining and losing weight going from one diet to another every year is the cost to you and the impact that will have on your family budget. Even worse is the mental strain plus the stress levels you could experience could lead to Depression and other related illness.

All of a sudden you have more medical expenses than you ever really needed, all through your weight problems. It is a known fact that Obesity is a lucrative business for the huge Pharmaceutical Companies. You see Obesity and being over weight can lead to more seriously debilitating conditions like, Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Hypertension, Osteoarthritis and Gallbladder disease plus whatever else they can dream up.

Harvard University have completed some extensive research which shows that Obesity is a factor in;

- 19% of all cases of heart disease, estimated costs $30 billion per year and,

- 57% of diabetes cases,$9 billion per year.

Fad or quick weight loss diets usually focus on certain types of food. They do not follow the basic principle of good nutrition - good heath requires you to maintain a balanced diet, meaning you need to eat a variety of food types.

Most diets will work, the problem is managing your weight loss once you have achieved your ideal weight or goal. There are thousands of programs out there. Do not just go with any fad weight loss diet because it promises you'll get rid of the fat quickly, then leave you to figure out how to keep it off. Choose one that will teach you or train you to change your eating habits, allowing you to keep eating most of what you eat now in moderation or provide you with appropriate substitutes. Plus it must advise on some exercise routine that doesn't require you to spend thousands a year at a gym but maybe 15 to 30 minutes a day 3 times a week.

Good luck with your efforts.

First of all you need to take the time to look at the overall selling aspect. On this aspect both men and women do show similar strengths and weaknesses. However men tend to take a more critical look than a woman may do. Also men tend to consider the homes that they purchase as an overall investment and women do not. The men also tend to sell their properties more on the aspect as investments. Women however, tend to pay more attention to the detail aspect of the selling. They seem to have a natural skill to look at a variety of different properties and then be able to envision the various ways that they will be able to make that property even better. They also have a more critical eye of the interior of the property then a man would. This is one of the main reasons why women have begun to gain a lot of recognition in the real estate field.

Another great advantage that women have when it comes to real estate is that they tend to have a better understanding of how to present a home show. They know just how to place items around the home to appeal to the person looking at the home. They also will be able to connect with the women buyers easier than the men. Most generally it is these women that make the overall decision on purchasing the home for the family.

Women also have a great ability to multi task. Any given day you can see women balancing home, career, and family with no more than a bat of an eye so it is no wonder why they are great at this game. Also women tend to be straighter forward especially to the women buyers. Also their great charm has been known to charge many men into buying homes.
