How To Publish Your Book With Createspace

December 28, 2009 By 2 Comments

Many people are using the power of the internet to write and publish their own books. This cuts out the middle man of using an agent and a publisher and allows authors to receive higher royalty payments. However, self publishing can be daunting and knowing the ins and outs of publishing can be hit or miss.

I have found a company, owned by Amazon, that has a great reputation and can get your book published, with a proof ready within 1 week of you submitting it for review. I have learned over the last few weeks: writing the book, designing a cover, preparing a manuscript, proofing etc.

In this article I will show you what I have learned and hopefully you can be one step ahead of the game when you publish your own book.

What Are Your Arms Giving Away?

November 23, 2009 By 11 Comments

Last month I wrote a post entitled ‘What Are Your Eyes Giving Away’. I’d like to follow this with another body language article looking at what our arm signals are telling other people and what other’s arm signals are telling us.

We all know someone who is very melodramatic, when you think of that person having one of their melodramatic moments do they have their hands in their pocket or are their arms waving about all over the place? More than likely they will be showing their excitement with their facial expressions, their voice and their hand and arm movements.

Our arm movements can tell a lot about how we are feeling. For example if we are bored and feeling down we try and make ourselves smaller and keep our hands hidden and our arms tight into our body, this is the minds way of trying to make our bodies small and unseen. Conversely people who are very confident, particularly men, have their arms sprawled out while sitting down and try to make themselves look as big as possible, this is the minds way of telling the body to look large and intimidating, it’s an animal thing.
