Great question .. just starting on the audio book story .. any info like this is useful because I don't know what I am doing .. LOL.
Cheers, William.
Yes although you are ahead of me at the moment .. I message you in a week or so it that is ok. Cheers.
Gee...In a day or so, you'll see my farewell to WA blog post...won't be here in a week. But you could slip me an email to keep in touch...I'll be inviting that on my last post;)
Not sure I can help much...I'm just scrambling for some freelance narration jobs - just snagged a couple. If you should ever need any future voice overs or narration...;)
BEST to you!

Hi everyone!
Life has dictated that I sign up with Fiverr to try to sell my sell a couple of my skills.
I was thinking...with the GREAT amenities here at WA, I should
I'm curious to know why you'd use it to promote your Upworks or Fiverr accounts. If someone comes to your site, looking for service, why not just provide it and reap all the rewards. What's the point in giving Fivver or Upwork a piece of the cut.
On the other hand, you can become an affiliate of Fiverr. I'm not sure about Upworks, but Fiverr does have an affiliate network.
Thanks, Renee.
I agree with you...yet I would rather these sites see to it that I get paid, period.
I'm shy about collecting and making sure of that myself.
What you describe would be my ultimate goal though;)
That makes sense. Sometimes it's nice to have a third party buffer. One of my struggles is asking for money for services rendered. In fact, I don't always have the best practices. In the back of my mind, I tell myself I need to ask for payment prior to working on a project. However, when it's someone I know personally, even if it's more of an acquaintance relationship, I tend to wait until I'm finished with the project before asking. If nothing else, I really need to start asking for half up front, at least to protect myself for the work I do.
Anyway... I was just thinking aloud. Still... I see what you mean.

Hi all!
Mike-Writes has a post about this, and a plugin called "Beacon".
Thanks Mike!:)
I just wonder if there are other folks who've tried this too...and if t
Terry, here is a self creation guide that gives insight.
http://www.shoutmeloud.com/apps-create-ebook.html
I found a good looking site at www.beacon.io (I think the extension is right)
It looks nice and simple and takes your blog and automatically turns it into an eBook and all you need to do is a quick tidy if the formatting.
Hey Tony - thanks for sharing this!
I hope I can use the same layouts, including my images...you know, to mostly keep the same 'look'.
I think Beacon might do this.
WOW Terry,
Just did a quick Google search for "Easiest way to turn my blog into an ebook" (minus the quotation marks, of course) and is there ever a long list of options. You might want to check a few of those posts out.
Just a thought...
Apparently, Anthologize, a Wordpress plugin, will let you drag the images within your post over too:) That's a feature I sorely want!
Wordpress already lets you drag n' drop Terry. So, you might want to test that before adding a plugin for something you've already got.
Thank you Trish -
but I mean you can keep the 'look' in the new ebook you create.
Maybe I could just do screenshots of my posts, right from my website...hmmmm, wish I understood better - LOL
I don't know about a plugin, but for my eBook, I copy and pasted some related articles into a word document, added a bit more info and a few stock images, then I sent it off to fivver, and for about 10 bucks they made it look pretty smart :-)
Thanks John,
I think YOU'RE pretty smart;)
Good way to go!
For me, I'm an artist...my blog is no great shakes, design-wise, but I'd like to keep the look intact. Kind of as a future, personal memento:)

Hi everyone,
I'm anxious to download Skype to get on there with some of our great WA friends and trainers:)
I have Windows 7, 64-bit system.
I did download the new
I happen to have that myself, but are we allowed to communicate with the WA community through skype? It might help our online business more if we could.
We cannot promote our services or products here in the WA community. We keep things feeling safe and unhassled for us all this way.
We are all students, and the some of the ones who can teach us something, generously do this with Skype;))
And aren't we grateful!!:)
Of course it would be great to exchange business ideas with like-minded members...that's your thinking?
Because yeah...hmmmm:) !
Btw Zoli,
Nice that you happen to have Skype yourself.
It would help me with my question here if you could let me know what version is working well for you, please;)
I don't think Skype has any particular version. I will take a look at it and let you know for sure. I have not used it in a while.
Thank you Sandra:)...
My question is about Skype crashing when using it...downloading works.
Also I wonder which version of Skype is working for you, please?
I hope you get it worked out my friend. I got to warn you, I am a 2'3" troll-like creature with big blue eyes....all 5 of them. I have 2 big buck yellow teeth which are uneven and forces my bottom jaw open and I drool a lot.
HAHahahaa!!! That is a world-beater portrait of you and junior there, Chris:)
I don't see any droolin', but you do look like squeezin' the stuffin' outta little junior bear ... :( :))
*ulp* ... maybe Skype can wait...
...to add to the drooling? A true treat...just be sure to clean Junior off good, ok?
Just funnin' wth ya...I care, brother...:)
That is a WINNER!
Actually you know, I'm pleased and proud to have this pic larger, right here on my question page.
Thank you, Bro - a real keepsake:)
Lol, Cheryl. My little teddy has two and I have two and you can't see the other eye when I am standing up.
Thought you had two in the back of your head but not sure if I want to know where the 5th one is lol. Xx
Not going there...for various reasons, and my pc itself, it wouldn't take;)
Thanks...but I need the Skype version to match my WIN7.
Never had any problems with Skype. I suggest you look at your antivirus program and firewall. Perhaps another application is clashing with Skype.
Try the Skype troubleshooting.
Cheers Kev
This version covers win 10 and previous versions including 7

Hello, I have been using Grammarly proofreading tool for three years. It scans my text for more than 250 advanced grammar rules. Unfortunately, you need to pay for a subscription, but it’s worth every penny.
Thanks again, Beata!
We hope you are taking some time to breathe(!), and no working toooo hard:(
Now, I am working very hard to create as many posts as possible. Saturday is my only day for blogging.You are right; everybody needs to take a little break to breathe and rest. Today, it will be my movie evening. Thanks, and I wish you all the best in your blogging journey.
Good for you, to set aside Saturday for blogging.
And then a rewarding movie evening:)
I hope it is an entertaining film!
All the best, Beata:)
Here's a few free ones I know some members have mentioned. I'm sure the free versions are ok, but of course like most online programs, they want you to up grade.
https://www.slickwrite.com
https://www.paperrater.com/
The best paid program I know of and have friends that use is called http://www.whitesmoke.com/
Hope this helps
Thanks Leo...this definitely helps!
And you make good sense as usual.:)
Hope yo got my PM?
We know you are a busy beaver, especially right now...so thanks again for your good reply here:)
