Smart-Free-Marketing

“To the TOP” – For Whom is this Business Guide Especially Useful?
Freelancers, retailers, small publishers, IT specialists, accountants, lawyers, artists, farmers, craftsmen, health specialists, etc. – for all entrepreneurs and start-ups.

This valuable business handbook explains in detail how to take your small business marketing to a whole new level, using content marketing strategies and networking secrets, for example:

  • How excellent customer service and a positive corporate culture boost your success. It doesn’t matter how fantastic your startup’s product or service is — finding customers is always the key to success.
  • Don’t rely on the same old banner ads and Google reviews.  Instead, try these content marketing strategies:  Learn about influencer and affiliate marketing, discover SEO’s greatest secrets, video & podcasting, sweepstakes, e-Commerce, email & direct-response marketing, and free advertising on Google Maps.
  • Content articles and posts will stay forever online (or in print).  On the other hand, paid ads will be immediately removed by the advertising company once the ad time runs out. Companies that prioritized content marketing increased their website conversion rates by 500%.  Your blog, along with a newsletter and website, is the best way to build a list of online followers and potential customers.  People forget statistics and names and events, but they never forget (content) stories. 
  • Communication & Social Media Tip: “The richest people in the world build networks – everyone else looks for work.”  Hundreds of valuable influencer and Content Marketing Possibilities!  Instagram and YouTube are precious platforms for this.

Glimpse Into Israels Prisons

Posted on by in Books | Leave a comment

.

Rabbi Fishel Jacobs offers his readers a glimpse into the world of the Israeli prison system.  Through a series of vignettes, Jacobs weaves the tales of prisoners and prison life using compelling description and moving dialogue.  

His conversations with inmates and their lives told in their own words offer a
truly poignant reminder that we are all just one decision away from disaster.
.


.

Coffee Melts Bars: My Israeli Prison Career by Fishel Jacobs 
.
He presents an unswervingly honest look at life behind bars and his
struggle to shine love in some of the darkest, most desperate places.
Stories of redemption and faith permeate this work, readers are left with
an unmistakable sense of hope.
.

.

About the Author:
Rabbi Fishel Jacobs: “I was a Major in the Israel Prison Service and the only American chaplain in the Israeli penal system.  For thirteen years, in a little office located directly below the room where Nazi war criminal Adolph Eichmann was hung, I tended to countless men and women who were both physically and spiritually broken.  I know that when most people hear the word “prison,” they think of the loss of rights, the harsh conditions, the abuse.  But for me it was all about the encouragement, the hope, the growth.”
.
Karate Champion, talmudic scholar, prison chaplain, lieutenant in an Israel Army combat engineering unit on active duty during the Gulf War, and Tel Aviv University campus chaplain for nearly 20 years. You can imagine that this man is truly… blessed and has a lot to tell.

Teeming with terrorists, murderers, rioters, revolutionaries, madmen and psychopaths, maximum-security prisons like Rabbi Jacobs witnessed would be the last place you’d expect to find ANY ray of HOPE in the human heart.  
.
And Rabbi Jacobs now tells all the best stories – firsthand, as only he can – about the triumph of the human spirit over the darkest manifestations of man’s depravity.
.

His books are certainly available as iBooks at Apple

Westwood-Lake

Twenty-five years ago Lawrence Winkler and his wife Robin bought a homestead, in the middle of Vancouver Island, on the water’s edge. There are still reflections of the small lake at the foot of Mount Benson – of gardens and vineyards and woodland encounters.

.
Westwood Lake Chronicles is a “dreamscape” diary, a backyard inventory of life and death in paradise, and the desperate pressures that threaten its existence.  Lawrence Winkler has written an anthem to living deliberately with nature, and the virtues of simplicity, self-sufficiency, solitude, and silence. Find refuge…
.
Follow Lawrence Winkler throughout the year, experience with him the beauty of nature and the lessons we are given.  A fantastic read not only for nature lovers, but also a must-read for everyone traveling and exploring the stunning beauty of Vancouver Island on Canada’s famous West Coast. 
.

.
From Reviewers:
“A delicious, rich, fascinating melange of descriptive natural history, science, lore and romance by an intellectual who struggles with ‘whither Mother Earth?’.  Not a gulpable book – should be savored in sips.”
“He describes beautifully his passion for his environment with facts and humor! A thoroughly enjoyable read!”
.

Author’s Bio
Westwood Lake Chronicles is one of eight books by Lawrence Winkler, an ancient physician and a traveler, a phenomenologist, a mushroom forager, and an amateur naturalist.  As a young man, he hitchhiked around the world, for five trans-formative years.

Lawrence Winkler’s middle age is morphing from medicine to manuscript. He has a passion for habitat protection, including the (hopefully) final repairs on a leaky roof. Westwood Lake Chronicles was his first book.
He lives on Vancouver Island with Robyn and Shiva, tending their garden and vineyard, and dreams.  See Lawrence Winkler’s author page and all his books on Amazon.

AMINA: The Silent One by Fiza Pathan

Posted on by in Author/Writer, New Books | Leave a comment

Fiza-Pathan

.
Multi-author Fiza Pathan recently launched her latest title  – an even tougher read than her award-winning book Nirmala: The Mud Blossom.

Her latest work, Amina: The Silent One, brings vividly to life the grim realities that are facing women in India today, the grinding, filthy poverty, and debasement with which most Indian women must contend in their daily lives.  This book will shock you and rip your eyes open. Through the magic of fiction, it tells an awful truth in human terms that cannot be told in any other way.
Congratulations Fiza Pathan just received for Amina: The Silent One a Honorable Mention in the New England Book Festival, section Regional Literature.

.

Author-Fiza-Pathan.
The degradation of women in India is nearly universal, and ranges from their second-class status in society, often excluding them from educational and professional opportunities to their frequent physical and psychological brutalization, often involving assault, rape, and sexual slavery.
.
The anglicized educated Indian and the western industrialized world is appalled at the horrific news reports—all too frequent—of women attacked in public places, beaten, degraded, raped, and murdered. The situation and treatment of women in India is simply incomprehensible to most modern educated people.
.
The media carries the hair-raising news reports; we shake our heads in outrage, confused that such cruelty and debasement of women is commonplace in a country that has long had the benefit of western cultural influence, education, and governmental systems.
Yet the awful reality women endure in India completely escapes us because we are unacquainted with the actual, tangible details of their lives and the world they inhabit.
.
Author-Fiza-Pathan
In her latest work, Indian national and accomplished novelist and poet, Fiza Pathan has gone a long way in removing the obstacles to a true understanding of the hellish reality most Indian women experience. Her characters are fully imagined and alive to the reader, and she does not stint in telling the gruesome, shocking truth. She is candid and unsparing; she does not use euphemisms or false niceties in telling the tragic story of a Mumbai, India slum family that, against all odds, produces a female musical prodigy.
.
This novel will get under your skin and stay with you for a long time. Pathan’s characters live and breathe; you are sure to remember them; the sordid details of their lives and their struggles and heartbreaks materialize before our very eyes.
.
Amina: The Silent One goes a long way in opening our lives and hearts to the plight of women in India and may actually be an agent of positive change in Indian society.
.

About the Author:

  • S.O.S. Animals and Other Stories
