Jan Verhoeff's Blog (12)

On the way home from Denver after Christmas, my son Kenton and I discussed marketing his up-coming release Unikra. He's convinced his marketing plan will work, so we discussed his strategies. He likes networking and has set out to create a dynamic network of people who will buy his book. He's 13 and already has a vast following at http://kentonverhoeff.com and it continues to grow.



His strategy is clear. He's making friends whom he can tell when he publishes his book, who will tell… Continue

Even changing them to a different ID and increasing the security level of my passwords didn't prevent the blogs from being hacked and porn dumped on. YIKES.

So - I put my primary blog on wordpress at http://janverhoeffonline.wordpress.com and I'll be posting there - as soon as fair is over and I'm around the computer again.

I shall overcome!!!!

Ya know, I have many days go by when life just kind of sits there, isn't wonderful but it ain't bad. Then along comes a Monday from hell and I remember that 'boring' isn't necessarily bad.

Today was hot and horrid, as days go. Nothing particularly bad happened, just one of those days that beats you to a pulp and leaves you struggling for air.

When I got up this morning I had many things on my todolist for today.

This morning I was busy posting to my website a new article I'd written and I realized I hadn't edited it completely. There was a paragraph at the bottom that didn't make as much sense as I had hoped it would. My cutsy details were missing definition and comprehension, so I took them out.

Then I considered how often I find myself editing out a 20 second slot of work on a book... It's pretty often. When the reality is that what I wrote to begin with belongs in the book. But, editing…

I finished a report I wanted to share with my business leaders about Multi-streams of Income. You can get a copy of the report at http://jvpublications.com/marketing.htm

I'm actually rather excited about this one. I've been putting out reports and articles online for several months now, and this one has been a high-impact seller in just one day. When I checked my sales earlier I was amazed at the number already sold, and not even…
