Not Just For Beginning Businesses! by .. Tonya Caudle (Midlothian, VA USA)
Ms. Brabec made this book very personable by featuring tips from various artists. I was also glad to see extensive coverage on building a business using the computer. The best feature of this book is that it is written to be a used reference for anyone entering the craft business or already a veteran in the industry. My favorite chapters were Production Methods and Strategies as well as Keeping Everything in Perspective. I also enjoyed the section on writing a business plan and for the first time, I was able to complete one using her step by step guide. If you are a beginning your first business in this field, this book is a must because it covers every aspect from the very beginnings of a business plan to pricing and shipping, finding work space, and organization and time management as well as pricing, packaging and design. If you are an experienced business person in this field, this book is a must because it covers sharpening your marketing skills, communicating efficiently, and business management.

Product Description A successful, non-professional speculator tells how Wall Street paid back to him more than he entrusted to it. This book is both a personal history and a valuable study of crowd reaction to market fluctuations - the adventures of an "outsider" who found the greatest enemies to stock market success. He shows you how to recognize them and how to avoid becoming a loser because of them. "Vanity", "Greed" and "The Will to Believe" are just a few of eight instructive chapters. Completely non-technical; anyone can understand and act on this book about money-making stocks. First published in 1930. Paperback. 177 pages. Customer reviews Goes down easily, and may save you from yourself someday... by .. aseclyst (Short Hills, NJ USA)
Originally written in 1930 by Fred C. Kelly, notably in the wake of the 1929 Crash, this work was first brought back into publication by contrarian specialists James L. Fraser and his mentor Humphrey B. Neill in 1962. The work is a prominent example of the "second generation" of writers to apply human psychology and crowd behavior specifically to the stock market, with the "first generation" being G.C. Selden's pamphlet "Psychology of the Stock Market" of 1912. The book is quite small. Although with its tiny 4-1/2" x 6-1/4" paperback pages it runs to 177 pages, if it had been a more "normal" sized hardcover it might be 50 pages long. The writing is devoid of so many of the formulae and equations that have multiplied in the investing world in the last 25 years, and in its place substitutes commonsense observations about human behavior and helpful stock market lore. There were more than a half a dozen observations in this little book that seemed directly applicable to today's market. In the final analysis Mr. Kelly does not give you rigid laws to live by, but instead encourages you to think for yourself. Let your mind run with the crowd at your peril! Each chapter has a different focus: Chapter One - My Adventure in Topsy-Turvy Land: The importance of paper trading (as a form of practice) before investing actual money, and the dangers of margin. Chapter Two - How Our Vanity Makes Us Lose: How a willingness to take losses can save you lots of money in the long term. Chapter Three - High Costs of Greed: The imperative of setting target sell prices for your stocks in advance and sticking to them. Chapter Four - Perils of the Will to Believe: It's critical to try to see the world as it is, not as you want it to be.
(A quote from page 41: "Not every optimist is a sucker, but most suckers seem to be optimists"). Chapter Five - Where Being Illogical is Wisdom: The importance of establishing a truly independent thinking pattern towards the market, as opposed to so-called "logical" investment wisdom which covers the front pages of financial magazines. Chapter Six - There's a Pool in It!: Ways that technical patterns can fool you if you don't know a stock in depth. The final two chapters Seven and Eight, "Win By Being Contrary" and "About Watching One's Step", are confidence-builders giving the would-be investor strategies for survival (as opposed to just warnings which dominate the previous pages). On the second-to-last page a footnote gave me among the most encouragement, as an individual investor: "In certain respects then a person who plays the market in a small way has great advantages over a big operator. Granted that he has equal intelligence and skill, he can make more money, for the amount used, than if his transactions were on a grand scale -- for he can buy low and sell high without disturbing the market." Highly recommended, even for those who have just 15 minutes at lunch to read.
How to understand being an individual by .. Wilie Harris Jr. (Abilene, TX)
Fred C. Kelly gives his own view of the stock market during his era. He laid down the basic principles of contrary thinking. You learn for yourself to analyze, study probabilities, and do the opposite from what others are doing. This won't be the shortcut most are looking for when they buy stock books... but this is a look into a man's thought process of the whole free market system. Something worth thinking about while you are planning your next move in the market.

Customer reviews Not a broad perspective, but lots of detail  by .. Jeffrey A. Bell (Albany, NY)
This book is very valuable for the insight it gives to marketing your book so that it sells on Amazon. You get the benefit of what are clearly some painfully learned lessons. You get the benefit of one man's experience in successfully selling his books. What you don't get is the bigger picture. Different approaches may also work. For example, Shepard doesn't think gaining 'Best Selling Author' status on Amazon by selling lots of books in one day (or one hour, or one microsecond) is worth the effort. Others put a lot of stock in this technique. So, expect a unique perspective, but not one that everyone will agree on. In balance, the book is well worth the price. I strongly recommend it.
Required Reading for Every Author by .. Author of Top Self Publishing Firms (Seattle, WA)
When I received this book, I sat down and read it cover to cover, running my highlighter over all the key points. Now, I use this book, frequently as a resource. Shepard does a great job of explaining the concepts without being too wordy. It's only about 165 pages, but absolutely filled with valuable information.
If you want to learn how to sell more books on Amazon, this is the best book I've read on the subject. Shepard teaches:
How to title your book for Amazon search engines
How to create a book cover that favors Amazon sales
How to use several free tools available on Amazon to boost the
visibility of your book.
How to set discounts that work to the author greatest advantage.
How to go about self-publishing a book with Lightning Source
The reasons not to publish an eBook version of your book.
A pricing strategy for selling your book on Amazon.
Thanks to books like this one, self-published authors have a chance to succeed against our traditionally published competitors.
Best Book Out There! by .. Judy Mezen ()
"Aiming at Amazon" by Aaron Shepard is my favorite book right now because I successfully used it to create my already written book, "The Magi of Futurity", and have it listed on Amazon. After checking with others and reading the reviews for Aaron's book, I was very impressed and couldn't wait to order it. Within two months after reading this book, along with Aaron's "Perfect Pages" book, I had accomplished my goal. Thank you, Aaron, for producing such wonderful guides for aspiring authors!
A Must Have for someone who wants know how to self-publish by .. Larry Ellis (Denver, CO United States)
This book clearly dispells many of the myths and exposes the secrets of the publishing and the self-publishing industry. He does not day how to write your book, rather how to get it into print and distribution. He has terrific ideas about promotion and boosting sales and ultimately profit. He has 95% of submitted manuscripts, pays low royalties (approx 10%), and take up to three years to get your book into print, all the while usurping all the control of the content and layout.
FASCINATING LOOK INSIDE THE SELF-PUBLISHING INDUSTRY by .. David Griffiths (Pensacola, Florida)
Aiming at Amazon is the most valuable book I've ever read. It will save you money during the production of your book, and make sure that you make more money after it is produced. Highly recommended for anyone thinking about self-publishing.
