Major Oops! Today!

Good Morning Authors -

Well - I had one of those 'moments' earlier today.

Instead of adding another 'link' resource to the list - I deleted ALL of the resource links instead!

We're in the process today of getting everything back up for you including the new resources. So - if you don't find the link or resource you came here for - check back a little later today (Tuesday December 1, 2009!) and we'll have them all back up again.

Hmmmmmm, guess it was time to 'clear the space'! Thanks for your patience!

Blessings,
Susan

US and International Copyright Information

The question often arises, for our International Authors, "Do I have to copyright in my own country AND the United States?" Today we have an answer.

I spoke with the US Copyright Office, at http://www.copyright.gov/, and was directed to their Circular 38A. You can read this Circular by clicking on the link to the right "US and International Copyright".

In short, it says: There is no such thing as an “international copyright” that will automatically protect an author’s writings throughout the world, since protection against unauthorized use in a particular country depends on the national laws of that country. However, most countries offer protection to foreign works under certain conditions that have been greatly simplified by international copyright treaties and conventions. The agreement which may be most important to us as self-published authors is the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. The US joined the Berne Convention in 1988. As of September 2008, 164 countries around the world are parties to the Berne Convention.

A LOT OF WORDS, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
If your country is a member of the Berne Convention and you copyright within your country, you are also protected in the US and all other member countries to the convention. The same is true if you copyright your book in the US - your work is protected in the US and all other member countries to the convention. Check to see if your country is a member of the Berne Convention, by clicking on the link to the right "US and International Copyright" and scrolling through the countries, which are listed alphabetically.


I trust this will be helpful. If you have further questions about US copyright, go to http://http://www.copyright.gov/.


Blessings,

Susan

"The End to Website Confusion"

Hey there everyone!

Wow! Yesterday's webinar "The End to Website Confusion" with Mike Litman was amazing!

Mike delivered everything he promised - and MORE. Including an impromptu exercise in how to outline your own 60 minute CD presentation- in less than 5 minutes! It was spontaneous, easy, extremely informative and FUN!

Our fellow author, Hara Taicher, was on the webinar as well and spoke with such passion, Gratitude, and clarity about how using this service has changed her life, her business and getting her message out to the world - with Ease! She went from feeling overwhelmed and stuck, 11 months ago, with no book written - to website, blog, printed book, book signing, her articles across the internet, marketing methods and abundance flowing for her message and book and then some.

These webinars are not recorded, but we will continue to hold one per month. MARK YOUR CALENDARS for the next two which are scheduled : Thursday, November 12, 2009 Noon US PT and Thursday, December 10, 2009 6pm US PT. I will send you a reminder and link to register as the time approaches.

I encourage everyone to go to: http://totalcoach.com/collective/

Order the 60 minute DVD 'Step by Step Blueprint to Business Success' ($77 value) and the manual "The Winning Mindset That Builds Million Dollar Businesses' ($27 value) for the cost of shipping and handling! ($7.95 within US & 11.95 international).

This will also register you for Total Coach's free 30-day trial. Take the time to see and experience what an amazing 'one stop shop' solution this is for your domain name, hosting, website, blog, email and auto reply service, your message, your book and your business.

During the 30 day free trial, every aspect of Total Coach is available to you - use it to the max. If on the 1st day, or the 29th day, you decide it isn't for you - just cancel. It is that easy.
