Another Opportunity to Share My Passion for the John 316 Network
0 of 4 people found the following review helpful
2.0 out of 5 stars
"If being successful using the print on demand medium and a network of enablers is your goal, you may get something out of this book."
Please note that most of the authors in our network are not published by Print on Demand but are traditionally published. My books are published by Print on Demand, but I am in the minority rather than the majority. I chose to publish this way for a variety of reasons. But we don't make a distinction. The question I asked myself when I started the Network is does God really care how books are published? I mean, publishing is a man-made invention. Scripture was written by hand in letters to people, to churches, and others. Oftentimes, it becomes a source of pride if an author isn't careful. Again, we deliberately don't make a distinction.
Enablers -- yes we are definitely enablers. We are enabling the reader to have choices. They are the gatekeepers now of what they want to read rather than it being determined by an overworked, oftentimes underpaid editor sitting at a slush pile. There is always gold in those slush piles, some gems that probably in the past missed being discovered. Limitations put on the editor by a publishing house and economics in the past dictated many of those decisions.
We are enabling Christian worldview books to have greater exposure. We are enabling all Christian authors to help each other get their books rated higher as they compete against books that do not present a Christian worldview. One of the best ways to do that is through social networking and "enabling" Christian authors to connect. In so doing, we are spreading the Gospel to the reading world on many different levels, just as the church preaches it from the pulpit, just as missionaries share the Gospel on the missionary field. We do it with our "pen."
As is stated in the Bible, "They will know we are Christians by our love." We fight a spiritual war and the best way to win that battle is through love. Thanks for your review. I always look at the lowest review of any book as it tends sometimes to say more about the value of a book and the reviewer than any of the five-star reviews. You have given me another opportunity to share my passion for the John 316 Marketing Network.

How to Launch a Christian Best-Seller Book, The John 316 Marketing Network Manual (Kindle Edition)

King on a Donkey
Easter Guest Post by John Miller
Photography by Lorilyn Roberts
His entrance into Jerusalem is personal, deliberate. There
is no armed escort. There are no chariots, no jeweled robes, no
marching soldiers, no shining shields, no flashing helmets, no
glittering spears, and no heralding trumpets. Yet, Jesus of Nazareth
enters Jerusalem as a king - a conquering king - sitting astride a donkey colt.
Herod's temple rises above an enormous platform, its tower rising over eighty feet to proclaim dominance of the Jewish population. Its Roman influence in design, as endorsed by Herod, is detestable to many city Jews. Yet, the Jewish homes and palaces that dot the hillsides are also designed with a Roman influence. These are the abodes of the rich priests, merchants and their families living alongside the Romans, while lesser Jews live in crowded neighborhoods of simple homes and work the small shops that line the streets.
Their
collective lifestyle has become much like their alien oppressors, while
their ancient culture holds remnants of sacred rituals born in the Tent
of Meeting during the Exodus. Most Jewish hearts of this city are dark
with hatred of the rebel Jesus, who is about to ride into the city with
the swarm of followers. The Temple leaders have been informed of the
unwelcome throng of rebel flesh by Temple spies who ran ahead of the
King’s procession. Jesus knows all this and His heart is deeply
saddened.

New Feature on Amazon: KDP Select for KDP Authors & Publishers
Any Kindle books
you have published on Amazon can be entered into the KDP Select Program. It’s
the exclusivity that makes this a unique Amazon feature. You must remove your
ebook from other distributors, like Smashwords and Barnes & Noble (even
your own website or blog) for at least ninety days.
The KDP Select
titles are allowed to be advertised for free for five days every ninety days.
If you have U.S. rights, your Kindle book will be entered into the Kindle
Owners Lending Library. Each time your ebook is loaned to another qualified
member of the program, you can earn a certain percentage back, based on a
complicated set of algorithms that I don’t understand. I didn’t give it much
thought until one of our members shared recently on the forum that he had made
a couple of hundred dollars the previous month based on the number of times his
book had been loaned out by members.
Some authors in the Network have “sold” thousands of Kindle books for free during the time their ebooks have been free in the KDP Select Program. While they didn’t receive royalties, their Kindle books were widely distributed, and many ranked in the top one hundred “free” Amazon ebooks. When Amazon returned their ebooks to the “paid” category, briefly they maintained their best-seller ranking, becoming a best-seller of sorts by default. In many instances, the increased sales of ebooks carried over into print books or other books they had published. To learn more about KDP Select, visit: http://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/KDPSelect.
