On Thursday, January 17th, 2008 Victor R. Volkman and Irene Watson spoke with astrologer and teacher Laura Waldman.  Laura educated us on the impacts that your astrological sign has on what you should write, when you should write, and whom you can succesfully collaborate with. An Astrological birthchart is a complex and highly individualized method of personality typing. Predictive astrology can help you with timing your marketing moves. Relationship astrology can help you choose compatible editors and publicists. Astrology can predict general social and cultural trends that help you research the saleability of a book.

Laura Waldman has had a private practice as a Consulting Astrologer since 1984. She lives in Austin Texas and has clients all over the world. She is the Vice-President of the Astrological Society of Austin. Laura is the staff astrologer for The Crossings Austin, an affiliate of the Omega Institute. Laura has taught astrology classes, presented workshops, and given astrology lectures in Texas, Louisiana, and New Mexico. Laura also leads Women’s Dream Circles. She specializes in making astrology accessible and useful and enjoyable for everyone. She writes a monthly Astrology Newsletter.

January 4, 2008 by Victor Volkman.

Hello and welcome to a special edition of Authors Access where Authors get published and published authors get successful. I’m your host Victor Volkman, from Loving Healing Press in Ann Arbor Michigan.  Tonight we will be listening to my lecture “Amazon Adventures” delivered live at the Motown Writers Conference on November 9th, 2007. In this lecture, I’ll be covering a variety of Amazon programs and strategies including: Amazon Advantage, Amazon Associates, Amazon Connect, Amazon Marketplace, Amazon Mechanical Turk.  I’ll also highlight how to make Advanced Tactics work for you such as Listmania!, Search-inside-the-book, social networking, video reviews, and much more.

Be sure to download the accompanying PowerPoint presentation that goes with this lecture  so you can read along as we cover the material (PDF version).  This lecture was recorded about two weeks before the release of the Amazon Kindle eBook reader so we won’t be mentioning it.  However, we hope to have a show in early 2008 that highlights the strengths of this platform and how to parlay your Amazon experience with the Kindle reader.  Now sit back and listen to Amazon Adventures recorded in the Southern Fires restaraunt in Detroit Michigan.
