China has dominated the news for nearly a decade now and will continue to grab the headlines as it moves inexorably towards becoming the world's largest economy. It already has the largest middle in the world; the largest internet user population in the world; the largest army in the world; and has outstripped even America as the largest polluter in the world-all with pressing consequences for humanity. But China's Communist Party will not rule the world any time soon. It is still learning to adapt to the laws of other lands in which it has overseas investments; feels out how to meet international guidelines and standards of product safety and customer service quality; seeks to maintain stability and control of an increasingly rambunctious society; and deals with the dearth of land, water and mineral resources already sapping its economic development prospects.

China Inside Out: 10 Irreversible Trends Reshaping China and its Relationship with the World investigates the social and economic forces unleashed in China's drive to modernization. Bill Dodson presents the stories of average Chinese workers, along with interviews with topical experts, interlaced with his own experiences. The end result is an insider's view into the dramatic forces reshaping China, its identity, and its place in a new world order as it elbows America and Europe aside.

The Author's Guide to Building an Online Platform: Leveraging the Internet to Sell More Books

The Author's Guide to Building an Online Platform: Leveraging the Internet to Sell More Books Review

The buzz word in publishing houses and at writer's conferences these days is platform. As in, What is the author's platform?

 

With more than 175,000 new titles published each year, publishers want to sign authors who are capable of helping to sell their book. The platform may be that the author is a widely syndicated columnist, is the internationally acclaimed expert in his field, or is a highly sought-after motivational speaker. Or perhaps the author is a New York City television news anchor. These types of platforms make a publisher's mouth water.

 

But what about authors who aren't widely known or acclaimed? How does the ordinary guy build a credible platform? The answer: the Internet. Today you can build an international platform right from your kitchen table even if your kitchen table is in Manhattan . . . Kansas.

A small seafood restaurant attracts new customers with virtually no marketing budget. An iPad case manufacturer generates more than M in revenue in four months with only four employees. A voiceover company is able to connect thousands of artists with opportunities, all without expensive hardware and software. A law firm increases access to key information while dramatically reducing technology-related costs and risks. 

 

And these four companies are hardly unique. A new breed of small businesses is using Software as a Service (SaaS), free and open source software, social media and networks, mobility, cloud computing, and other emerging technologies to do things simply not possible even five years ago. In The New Small, you'll discover how these companies creatively and intelligently use technology to:

• Reach new customers
• Reduce costs
• Increase internal collaboration and communication
• Create flexible work environments 

Rife with profiles from a wide variety of industries, The New Small offers pragmatic advice and lessons about how small businesses are harnessing the power of emerging technologies. It's a must-read for small business owners-and those thinking about starting their own shops.

 

Praise

"A powerful, important, and eye-opening book. Simon expertly demonstrates how, by skillfully using technology, social media, and collaborative tools, even the smallest of businesses can achieve amazing levels of success. The New Small is a very big idea. Read it, but be warned: You may want to change your life once you've finished it."

----Mitch Joel, President, author of Six Pixels of Separation

 

"We've known for a while that 'small is the new big,' to quote Seth Godin, but a piece has been missing--specifically the piece that explains how technology has been accelerating the trend and how companies can harness technology to take advantage of it. In The New Small, Phil Simon does a masterful job of filling that void. I heartily recommend it."

----Bo Burlingham, editor-at-large Inc. magazine and author of Small Giants: Companies That Choose To Be Great Instead of Big

"The New Small is a veritable treasure chest of management tips and technologies. Simon's storytelling rivals Malcolm Gladwell and his knowledge of technology rivals Chris Anderson. A must-read."

----Paul Spiegelman, Author, Why is Everyone Smiling?

Consumer Interactions: Social Shopping, Blogs and Reviews

Consumer Interactions: Social Shopping, Blogs and Reviews Review

Today, many consumers turn to the Internet to research products—whether they buy on the Web site or later in-store. As they conduct their research, the critical first-step in the purchase decision, consumers assign more credibility to the opinions of other consumers than to paid experts or sell copy.

The Consumer Interactions report analyzes the impact online customer-generated content is having on the sales process, online and off.

Blogs and customer ratings and reviews have been part of the Internet landscape for a while now, but social shopping sites have emerged over the past two years and are still a work in progress.

More and more, all of them are influencing sales, and marketers are increasingly reaching out to the growing number of online consumers who take their shopping cues from their peers by targeting influential product reviewers, bloggers and social shoppers.

Key questions the “Consumer Interactions” report answers:

• What is social shopping?
• How can online retailers take advantage of social shopping trends?
• How do blogs help online consumers make purchase decisions?
• How do customer ratings and reviews benefit consumers and retailers?
• How are online marketers reaching out to online trendsetters and influentials?
• How can a bad review help online sellers?
• And many others…

eMarketer Reports—On Target and Up to Date
The Consumer Interactions report aggregates the latest data from marketing and communications researchers with eMarketer analysis to provide the information you need to make smart, accurate business decisions.

Nursing Informatics: Where Technology and Caring Meet (Health Informatics)

Nursing Informatics: Where Technology and Caring Meet (Health Informatics) Review

Like the three editions that preceded it, this new edition targets markets in health care practice and educational settings. It addresses practicing nurses and nursing students, together with nursing leadership and nursing faculty. It speaks to nursing informatics specialists and—in a departure from earlier editions of this title—to all nurses, regardless of their specialty, extending its usefulness as a text as noted below. In recognition of the evolving electronic health information environment and of interdisciplinary health care teams, the book is designed to be of interest to members of other health care professions (quality officers, administrators, etc.) as well as health information technology professionals (in health care facilities and in industry). The book will include numerous relevant case studies to illustrate the theories and principles discussed, making it an ideal candidate for use within nursing curricula (both undergraduate and graduate), as well as continuing education and staff development programs. This book honors the format established by the first three editions by including a content array and questions to guide the reader. This 4th edition also includes numerous brief case studies that help to illustrate the theories and practices described within the various chapters. Most of these “mini-cases” are provided by members of professional nursing organizations that comprise the TIGER Initiative. These mini-cases are listed in the front matter and highlighted via formatting throughout the text.

Internet Marketing - PLR Niche Club - The number one, top way, to profit from PLR content (in my opinion) is through the creation of niche market products.

Internet Marketing - PLR Niche Club - The number one, top way, to profit from PLR content (in my opinion) is through the creation of niche market products. Review

The number one, top way, to profit from PLR content (in my opinion) is through the creation of niche market products. I believe being a product owner in general is one of the easiest ways to make money online, but the reason why niche markets in specific is smart to target is because they are easier to dominate. Now, there is a small *negative* that I want to mention here. If the PLR content you purchase is distributed world-wide, it will be sold dirt cheap on auction sites and resell right directories. That is why you have to make sure that the PLR content you purchase in your niche marketing endeavors are limited.nd2 , a customized PLR product will ALWAYS sell better then it's stand-alonecounterpart. At the very basic, I would recommend doing a graphic re-design in order to make your product stand unique in the market of hungry buyers.A basic minisite design can be done for as cheap as .00 and after your first set of sales you'd be happy you paid for the re-design.

Another benefit on Niche Marketing is that you can set up an affiliate program. In addition to your own marketing efforts, having affiliates promote your product for you will bring in dozens of new sales that you may have missed otherwise. The power of Niche Marketing lies on the power of being your own product owner in markets where people are looking up to eat the products you are offering.
