Many writers struggle with constant rejection from the publishing world. A rejection, though a part of the industry, is difficult for writers at any stage in their career. You pour your heart and soul into a book, along with hours of work, only to hear a publisher indicate that it isn't what they are looking for at this particular time. Many books that were otherwise snubbed by traditional publishing houses have gone on to be very popular. How? It's simple. Self-publishing is an avenue that many new, or rejected, writers pursue.
When you hear self-publishing, perhaps you think about writing a book and taking it to a printer, paying for copies and doing all of the footwork to get your new work listed with major bookstores. But, thanks to the internet and an innovative new approach to publishing, that's no longer the case. Sure, you still have to pen the book yourself but leave the printing up to someone else. A growing number of POD (print on demand) publishers are stepping up in search of the next bestseller. Print on demand is a term used to describe a publisher who handles all of the printing aspects, but on an as-needed basis.
The best self-publishing companies offer a variety of programs with the majority of them handling the issuance of an ISBN number and getting your book cataloged with all of the major online bookstores, including Amazon, Barnes

What can we do to save the planet that will really make a difference?
We can all join Shop To Earn / Shop To Earth
How: Shop To Earth is a new company that launched their website in March 2008. In four months it has grown to over 15,000 members. (5,000 in the last three weeks).At this rate there will be roughly 200,000 to 300,000 members by September 2008. The business model of this company states that as a requirement of your membership, starting in September 2008, you and your group must spend $100 a month on green products. That's approx. $20,000,000 overall per month, that all these current members will be spending on green products.
The structure of the company is based on MLM marketing. Thousands are joining and will continue to join, and all of them must purchase green products every month. When you join, you are buying your own website shopping portal. On one side of your business are approx. 500 online retailers like Target, Walmart, Sears, Overstock etc. On the other side of your business are approx. 100 green companies.
It took $4.00 a gallon gas to convince American consumers to sell gas guzzlers and buy fuel efficient vehicles because they were forced to change. If the Shop To Earn / Shop To Earth membership grows to a million people in one year as predicted and they must buy $100 a month in green products, that's $100,000,000 a month spent on green products that would normally have been spent on products more harmful to the environment. You can help make a significant positive impact in saving the planet and make a great income while doing it.
If you are committed to a greener planet, you can play a part by owning your own website.
