BRISINGR 550,000 COPIES SOLD ITS FIRST DAY



550,000 COPIES SOLD ITS FIRST DAY:
CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI’S BRISINGR ACHIEVES BIGGEST ONE-DAY SALE IN
RANDOM HOUSE CHILDREN’S BOOKS HISTORY


September 23, 2008 (New York, NY)—On its first day on sale, BRISINGR, Book Three in Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance cycle, sold 550,000 hardcover copies, making it the greatest one-day sale ever recorded for a Random House Children’s Books title, hardcover or paperback, it was announced today by Chip Gibson, Random House Children’s Books, President and Publisher.

BRISINGR was published by Random House’s Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers imprint in the U.S. and Canada on September 20th with a first printing of 2.5 million copies, the largest first-print run in the
publisher’s history.

The first day’s sales for BRISINGR are four times that of Eldest, the second novel in Paolini’s Inheritance cycle, which was published in August 2005.
The publisher reports that the hardcover sales are strong in every region of North America and in all channels of distribution, including independent retailers, bookstore chains, and mass merchandisers.

“We are thrilled with the first day’s sale of BRISINGR: the numbers have far surpassed our projections,” commented Mr. Gibson. “We are grateful to booksellers everywhere for this incredible success and look forward with them to continued sales of the Inheritance cycle books throughout the fall and into the holiday season.”

BRISINGR was also released simultaneously in the U.S. and Canada as an audiobook by Random House’s Listening Library audio division. Initial reports indicate that sales for the audiobook as well as the BRISINGR ebook are also strong.

The first-day sales have also broken all records for Random House Children’s Books in the UK, where it was published simultaneously. “BRISINGR is by far and away the fastest-selling book we’ve ever published and we’re delighted with the first weekend’s sales,” commented Helen Randles, RHCB UK Sales Director.

Paolini kicked off a ten-city book tour in New York City over the past weekend and he will be meeting fans in Toronto, Washington, DC, Miami, Detroit, Chicago, Austin, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles over the coming weeks.

Eragon, the first book in the series, has sold 6 million copies in hardcover and paperback in North America since its initial release in August 2003 and the second book, Eldest (2005) has sold 4 million copies. Both books have also been international sensations: there are 50 foreign-language licenses for the Inheritance cycle and together Eragon and Eldest have sold over 15.5 million copies worldwide.

Paolini will write a fourth book to conclude the Inheritance cycle. A publication date has not yet been planned.

Dare To Promote Your Business Using Social Networking!


Image taken from: www.experientia.com

Many online marketers think that social networking is way to slow to help build an online business. But even though it may be slow, social online marketing is a great free advertising resource that will build a solid foundation that can bring a steady flow of traffic over time.

What is social online marketing? It allows people to communicate with each other and create relationships in every area of life, including business. There are many tools available to brand yourself and your company online, such as videos, discussion groups, and blogs.

Many successful marketers are using social marketing to increase their business and attract others to do Joint Venture Partnerships. It allows them to promote their businesses to people who are actually interested. This is done by using social networking sites to build up a network of friends with common interests while offering support, advice and exchanging information. Over time they can establish relationships and then promote their business opportunities.

This can be a great way to increase incomes, simply because many people are seeking information and will be interested to do Joint Venture projects.

Networking with others is one of the oldest forms of communication in the world. By joining a social network people can search for professionals like consultants, hosting services and much more.

The popularity of networking websites is spreading all over the Internet. Not only can members make new friends but these sites can be used as marketing tools. They can help increase website traffic by sending tons of traffic to your website and for an added bonus, they can also improve your search engine ranking.

By integrating social online marketing into your marketing plan you can now generate additional income as well as to gain free advertising.

How can social networking help your business?

1. You can save any website that you find interesting and mark it for public viewing. This is a great way to get your site exposed.

2. Many social networking sites will link to your website and thus increase the number of backlinks to your site. What a great way to improve your websites search engine ranking.

3. Some of the well known social networking sites are famous for directing massive traffic to other websites. If your site ever makes it to the front page of any social networking site, then get ready for a mind boggling amount of traffic.

4. Search engines love social networking sites because they can get fresh, rich content. If you can get your website on a number of social networking sites then it will get indexed by search engines fairly quickly.

5. Take advantage of sites such as YouTube to post videos and pictures relating to your business. YouTube is visited by millions of users daily so just simply think creatively and make a video using your hand held camera and then post it.

It’s a fact, everyone has an opinion and everybody wants to get theirs heard. If you think that you have information that will draw in the masses and keep them coming back then explore the endless possibilities of social online networking.

You just won’t know until you try.

Knowledge Economy = Knowledge + Economy?

Knowledge Economy =

Knowledge + Economy?

Author : Evi Widiarti

Editor : William

Knowledge Economy, hmm……what kind is this? If separated knowledge and economy, knowledge its mean information about something and economy is always regarding to money, politic and company. So when these both of term have combined to be Knowledge Economy that’s still the same meaning? I think its May? (Maybe yes, maybe no..: D).

In my opinion, Knowledge Economy is a vague term, but I think knowledge is based on economy. In case of economy for people life. For example someone who has many knowledge, maybe they’re have high education or many experiences in their life, usually they have good economy (much money) than people who didn’t have many knowledge.

The basic of knowledge is language. We talk with other people used language. We learn something that we have to know about it with the language. For example, when we want to know about computer programming, we have to know about language program that computer can identify. Nowadays, the language is must have you can used, it is English. We cannot deny if English is become International language. When people wishing to improve their knowledge, their connection and their carrier, they have to understand about English. Its mean, good knowledge in English = good economy in your life?

Are all the people who used or born in English speaking country, whether economy have well in their life always?.

Hmm….not realy. I think its depends on of the people effort in their life and the fortune in their life. Many people in English speaking country are a poor people too. So, that’s mean we have to take action and have high effort to make our dream come true and have good economy in our life.

Some people say, knowledge is a prison and don’t know much is liberate. Because some people have many knowledge has feel afraid to do something and they just afraid to failed. But sometimes some people that don’t know much they more brave to try something. For example, Bill Gates he drop out from his University and decided to learn about computer and make some experiences and now it has been success. He isn’t much to know about computer before but he always learn again and again. And he never knows about in the future that he will become success person or not. And some people who has graduated from University sometimes afraid to begin to work or experiment because of thinks over and much plan, but not at all, its just some people.

What about your dreams? Become person with many knowledge and has brave heart to something in your life and have good economy in your life, or become person isn’t know much for anything? The choice was in you.

**********

*The initial foundation for the Knowledge Economy was first introduced in 1966 in a book by Peter Drucker.

Build Your Own Business by Now


When you wishing to become a businessman or have own factory or company maybe you you have to start the business by now. What?! by now?!  

Its hearing so imposible to do, but thats its true you have to by now, even your business its very simple or small, size its doesn't matter. 

like a book that I review now. In Indonesia the entitled Punya Bisnis Sendiri Itu Nikmat, or if I transleting to english to be Have own Business its very enjoyable. This book Author by Netti Tinaprilla and Elang Ilik Martawijaya this both Author is a merriage couple, husband & wife.

In this book Netti & Elang write about tips to have own business, the mental attituted to succesfull business, True story about small business home based like food, craft, agrobusiness and services.

In Indonesia, the succesfull business icon, one of the icon is Mr. Bob Sadino. I think all the people in indonesia knew about him. and fortunately I meet him in a seminar to discuss about build own business in LIPI building - Bogor on March 16 2008.

Its very interesting, to hear the experience about his business and how to creat and starting the business. I cannot giving you the direct link about Mr. Bob Sadino but maybe you can google-him.

Back to the book, Netti & Elang try to write with the detail of business, like the based price of the material, cash flow etc.  I think this book is very relevan by now, actually Indonesia face the economic crisis and joblessness problem, have own business is a wisely  way out.

Netti & Elang think realistic to facing this situation and giving solution to joblessness problem in Indonesia. But build own business its seem like open the jungle, like you walking in the dark and you never know what happen on the later. Its need a fearless to start.
