Lulu.com lets you publish and sell your digital content

May 23, 2007 by Tricia

I know that many of the people who read my blog are creative and talented people.Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to publish and sell some of your creative content? Well, you can at Lulu.com. Lulu.com is an online self publishing website.

You can create an account at Lulu and start to easily create content such as books, CD’s, DVD’s, calendars, blog books, photo books and much more, that you can publish and sell with absolutely no upfront fees.

So get creative! Make that documentary that you’ve always wanted to make, or create your first CD of your bands music. Write a book, or an e-book. Whatever you want to do, you can do at Lulu.

Publish your digital content and when someone places an order Lulu handles the business end of the sale by publishing the content, delivering the item and the customer service needs of the client.

You create the content and come up with a fee for your product. You own the copyright and control the content. Lulu.com is just the company that helps you get your creative digital content to those who are interested in purchasing it. You’ll get 80% of whatever retail price you decide your content is worth. Lulu will send out checks at the end of each quarter with your share of the revenue.

If I sound excited about this product it’s because I really am. I’ve had so many people tell me over the last few months that I should be publishing some of my work and articles as an e-book. I’ve also had people telling me that I should do something with my photographs. Now I can do that simply and easily with Lulu! I am sooooo signing up!

I know from visiting many of your sites and having email and IM conversations with many of you that there really are a lot of talented people out there. Please, do take a look at Lulu.com and see if you don’t come to think of this as an opportunity to show the world your creative talents too.

The vehicle has a face!

May 23, 2007 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

a-funny-animal-car

How cool would it be to own this vehicle?

>I think it’s a multi-animal van. You could put ears up top to complete the picture – kind of like a Mr. Potato head. Mouse ears, cat ears or even dog ears would work equally fine, I think. I suppose you could even go so far as to put the corresponding tail on the back too.

Hey look close – even the drivers and passengers seat covers have faces!

Increase in Car Insurance price

May 23, 2007 by Tricia

Oh man! It looks like our car insurance is going up.

It’s only going up a bit, but I really don’t want to pay more. Chris and I have both been driving since we were teenagers, neither of us has ever been in a car accident nor received a ticket for speeding or anything that might affect insurance rates.

Not fair! They should be lowering our car insurance instead of increasing it! The property tax on our house is going up a lot this year too! Geez … Ok I’m going to start looking for a car insurance quote right now. I’d better find something that was priced at what we’ve been paying or lower. Really, with our driving history we should get really good car insurance rates shouldn’t we?

Massive writing mode!

May 22, 2007 by Tricia

I’m on a writing streak today in case you can’t tell! I don’t know where it’s all coming from! Watch, there’ll be no new posts the rest of the week because I write myself dry today. LOL

Tomorrow the weather is supposed to warm up nicely here, and I’ve got a ton of garden work to do. So maybe it’s a good thing that I’m writing so much today.

Perhaps tomorrow I’ll bring the laptop outside and see what sitting in the garden inspires me to write about? Oh oh, look out … my gardening blog maybe end up with an onslaught of new posts if I do that! I guess that’d be ok if I actually saved some posts as drafts for a rainy day. Or in the case of a blog writer – a writing block day.

Do you ever sit in front of your computer and get in a real writing mood and find that before you know it you’ve written 10 posts?

Web design and Graphic Arts courses?

May 22, 2007 by Tricia

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been seriously considering going back to school for some course in web design, graphics and perhaps internet marketing.

I have years of experience in creating websites for others and myself, but I never pursued this as a form of employment. It’s always been something I’ve done on the side.

Now that I’ve been stuck at home for about a year and a half due to my stupid illness I’ve discovered that I actually can make a living by doing work through the internet. Whether it be marketing or design I haven’t fully decided, but I really do think I should work on my skills and learn a few more things if I really want to make this work. So I’ve been looking at the courses at Collins College. I don’t know if I’ll take any of their courses, but it’s giving me some great ideas.

I’m actually in the middle of redesigning a few of our sites right now. This is the only one that’s giving me trouble. The coding isn’t complex but it’s not as straightforward as on all the rest of the blogs. One wrong move and the site doesn’t work anymore! Perhaps if I did take some courses weird code like the one that makes up this theme wouldn’t be as much of a problem?
