About Me And Brain Food!
Six months into retirement, my brain was starving. It was craving for its daily ration of brain food! Just like the body needs food and regular exercise, my mind requires an adequate supply of brain foods and brain exercises, on a daily basis. It's the only road to brain fitness ... and mental health! How I Developed A Taste For ItI was a meteorological information specialist for more than a quarter of a century (see my credentials here). During all those years, I helped business people, and the general public, solve operational problems daily, by providing them with meteorological information tailored to their needs. Where I LookedI began looking, in earnest, for a way to continue helping people with weather related problems. But I wanted to be able to do it from the comfort of my own home.
That did not work because book publishers always want to bet on a sure thing: a writer with credentials and a confirmed readership! Now, how in in the world can one ever become a known writer ... if no publisher will take a chance on a newcomer? Check mate!
If you can afford it (the costs can run anywhere from several hundred dollars to $10,000 or more), you are still not out of the woods yet. You still have to find the time and the means to promote your book! I don't have that kind of money or time. Another dead end!
Millions of people have a Web site or a "blog". That looked like the way to go ... until I found out that the majority of them are not being found!
How do I know this? There are more than 100 million sites on the Web. If a Web site does not rank in the top three million, it means that very few people are finding it! I used the free services of Alexa.com to check out the traffic ranking of the sites I visited (www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_500). Alexa.com is the reference on the Web. Where I Got Lucky!In theory, one can publish and acquire a readership on the Web. So, I kept mining the Web for a solution that works. One day, I found my solution by accident. Isn't it always like that? I found out how to get the readership I want ... and more! It felt like I had found the proverbial "needle in a hay stack". Really! To top it all, the process I found out about was just the brain food I was looking for! I now have the readership that exceeds my wildest dreams!
Due Credit Goes To ...Apart from the content of my Web sites (which is not bad ... if I do say so myself ;-), I cannot take all the credit for this successful outcome. I did not invent the Web publishing process responsible for putting my Web sites in the top 3% on the Web today. The Web publishing and marketing process - named Site Build It! - was developed by Dr. Ken Evoy ... a medical doctor, of all people! SBI! is my favorite source of brain food!I eventually found out that his process also works wonders for tens of thousands of Web publishers like me around the world.
Wishing you the very best, Claude Jollet B.Sc.A.
