Yesterday my husband surfed on his laptop when the race was on.

It was Sunday. Nascar.

In 6 years I’ve never known him to be available to watch a race, and not do it.

That’s Web 2.0. Capturing the interest and interaction of everyone – a replacement to regular old one way entertainment.

I’ve written so many booklets and ebooks, managed regularly updated membership sites and so on, I’ve started to wonder if it’s time to offer up one of my books in print, hard cover, you know like a real author (ha!).

A friend of mine was just published (a 4 book set) and it’s really neat seeing him selling thousands and making the best seller lists – as well as leaving the set on his coffee table with his name in bold print…

But I also know that all his work and time to press, etc. and even though the book is already in it’s second printing – he hasn’t even covered his personal promotion costs. He’s been on 5 television spots, 10 radio interviews and the reviews and sales are strong – but he’s still in the red.

Writing digital books is so much easier…still it would be nice to have an actual book to hand to people you just meet.

Although I’ve written many ebooks in the past, this one is extra special to me. It’s a huge resource for webmasters who have lost their traffic and don’t know why…

The research gathering and then compiling it into something that made sense to everyday folks (and not just geeks) has been grueling – but I do know it will all be worth it in the end.

Today I set up my blog to start selling it, which was a feat in itself making sure it looked inviting.
