Change The World With Words

Happy Holidays to all my readers and here are a few free gifts for you all. If you haven’t already seen my previous posts, Free Ebooks for Bloggers  and Two Great Free Resources feel free to check them out.

Then pop over to this link and pick up a range of free ebooks, from Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich, to  Law of Attraction and Making Time Work for You.

Finally, stop by The Art of Non-Conformity and pick up your free copy of 279 Days to Overnight Success. Make 2011 the year that all your years of hard work pay off and you too become an ‘overnight success’.

The above are great books for writers and bloggers but also valuable to anyone working in a creative field.

I LOVE sharing free resources with other writers and bloggers. Please re-tweet, share, forward and generally spread the word. We could all use a little ‘free’ this time of year

Wishing you all a happy holiday season and a prosperous 2011.

I recently came across two (genuinely) free ebooks that I needed to read right now – I guess when the student is ready the free resource appears

They both relate to focus and efficiency. Cutting out the time consuming extras and focussing on doing the really important work.

The first is The Minimalist Workday: 50 Strategies for Working Less by Everett Brogue, blogger at Far Beyond The Stars, and author of ebooks such as The Art of Being Minimalist, and Minimalist Business. It’s a good read for writers, bloggers and anyone who lives and works in a creative field, and is available for download at this link.

The other is Focus: A Simplicity Manifesto in the Age of Distraction by Leo Babuta, blogger at Zen Habits and author of previous ebooks such as Zen to Done and The Simple Guide to a Minimalist Life.

This book actually comes in a free and premium version. You can download the free version and decide whether you want to invest in the premium version. Download for free at this link.

Both ebooks are genuinely free. No sign-up required – simply click on the links and download. They’re great books for writers but useful for any online entrepreneur. Please share with other deserving students who may be ready for their free resource to appear!

Before you leave check out the newly updated Freebie page for more free ebooks.

The web is full of free ebooks for bloggers and writers, some of them better than others.

Here are a few of the better ones.  These books have something for everyone from the relative beginner through to experienced bloggers looking for fresh ideas and inspiration.

Deep Secrets of Successful Blogging – Secrets from 30 successful bloggers from around the web. No catch. No sign-up. Just download the ebook here.

Who’s There, Seth Godin’s ‘Incomplete guide to blogs and the new web’.  Also no catch. Just download and enjoy.

Blog Profits Blueprint from BlogMastermind.com. There is a sign-up process here and you have to give your email address. They promise not to spam you and that you can unsubscribe at any time. I can vouch for the no-spam guarantee but not for the unsubscribe policy. I signed up a while ago and got my free ebook, and email updates have been useful (and spaced out) enough that I haven’t wanted to hit the unsubscribe button yet!

The Beginners Guide to Search Engine Optimization. If you’re going to blog you want people to find your blog. There are a few ways of doing this, and  the main ones are Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and social media. This gives you the low-down on SEO – what it is and how to use it. Again, just download it. No sign-up required.

The New rules of Viral Marketing. A short read but a useful one, about ‘word-of-mouse marketing’ (basically spreading your ideas across the web via blogging and social media)
