Kevin Kelly -- Cool Tools For several years I’ve been producing books, CDS, and DVD in small quantities for small audiences. Micro-publishing. Or to use the apt phrase of Chris Anderson at Wired: mining the Long Tail, a place where the little that sells a lot is equaled by a lot that sells a little. I’ve had numerous requests from readers for the secrets of getting their self-published material on Amazon. First, why? More importantly, as popular as my website may or may not be, it doesn’t compare to the traffic headed to Amazon to search for books and DVDs. The cost of using Amazon is high. In 8 easy steps, here is how to get your book, CD, or DVD listed on the long tail of Amazon: 1 Get an ISBN (for a book), or a UPC (for a CD or DVD). The full details, with how-to tips and links to recommended sources, are as follows.1 GET AN ISBN/UPC NUMBER Every item sold needs a unique number. For Books: Bowker, the big Books-in-Print broker, is the official agency in the US that assigns an ISBN to your book title.

Matt Henderson's Blog: Getting Things Done Getting Things Done The recent posts of Merlin Mann have re-kindled a long-time interest I have in the area of personal productivity. According to Peter Drucker, one of the defining aspects of our generation is the fact that, as a society of information workers, many of us are responsible for defining both what we do, and how we get it done. Complicating matters, many of us work in environments (i.e. in front of internet-connected desktop computers) that provide us with a continual barrage of inputs (email, chats, browsing, RSS feeds, phone calls, etc.). In this article, I hope to describe the system I’ve put in place for myself. Philosophy I agree with Steven Covey’s view that all the things we do can be mapped on four quadrants in two dimensions, with a vertical axis of Importance, and a horizontal axis of Urgency. So, when working, I try to focus on avoiding losing too much time in Urgent/Not-Important things, and to spend more time with the Important/Not-Urgent ones. Process Inbox.
