A Story of how I Stumbled into writing My First Book AND  Ventured into Publishing.

Publishing is the life blood of internet marketing. I discovered this when I WROTE A Little 37 Page book called Modern Day Flea Marketing-Fun and Money tips that Could Make You Rich. Why did I choose such a title?  I choose this title because I was fond of watching other people working at their booths at flea Markets and making money on everything from  A to Z. They were selling old items, used items, new items and Plain junk.  Other people were selling food and beverages.  Hot dogs, burgers, sausages, fries and pickles.  Most markets are open only on week ends- Saturday and Sunday-which are high volume traffic days. Most booth operators/dealers  are very friendly and like to talk They are open information sources for anyone that will listen- I listened. As a results, I collected A lot of insider information for my book from the conversations that I had with them.  The group as a whole is a like-minded community. On the other hand, however, things can go sour and get very ugly at some of these flea market week-end events.

Here is the greatest part of this story.  First I observed the market place. Next I got to know a lot of the owners, dealers, and booth operators.  One day I got laided off of my job. I Looked for A long  time and could not find one.  My bills piled up. My car got repossessed.
My mortgage got behind for four or five months and my home was going into foreclosure in a week or two. I became depressed.  I remember the morning that I  had to push myself very hard to get out of bed. It was a raining , cold and  dreary morning. I felt confused,  worthless and in despair. it was hard lying their trying to justify my reason to get to face another uncertain difficult day with no money in my pocket and had borrowed way over my limited from family and friends.
Eventually,  I got out of bed and started  thinking back and forth.  I though  about how and what could I do to get myself out of this awful place.  i sat down at my desk and looked around and the thought hit me like a ton of bricks.  I remembered all those conversations that i had had with Flea Market Owners  and literally had seen them counting thousands of dollars when i would sometime go in their office to pay my booth rent.

This is what I said to myself next – I can do this. I am going to open up a flea Market of my own. Then I though about where and how am I going to do this.  I don’t have any money to lease a bulding or to lease a lot for my market.  Then I though for a second or two.  I can write up a partnership proposal and submit it to every land lord in the seven city area of the location in which I live.

Here is the amazing part of my story. I written a one and a half page partnership proposal in about 1-1/2 hours on the same morning of my deep and dark despair.  Next I went to the copy place and made about 100 copies to start distributing to everyone that owned some property or a lot that might suit the purpose I would need for my market. I got my copies and got back in the car, sat down behind the wheel and became nullified, when I asked myself where  and who I am I going to start with.  I took a deep breath and regain my composure and just started driving down the road.  I told myself that now that I am out here I have to keep going at any cost. I  drove on down the road and came to a  big building with  a large paved parking lot. I GRABED ONE OF MY PROPOSALS OFF the front seat after I had parked and went inside to talk to the owner.  I told him what my game plan was and he agreed to it on the spot. When I walked out the door I breathes a big sigh of relief and headed to city hall to get my business license.  The Following week-end I open I made over $3500.00.  On the week-ends after, I made enough to pay off all of my bills. This experience served me so well that I wrote my first book on the subject and  subsequently became a publisher of many about my other experiences in my life so that others may learn  about to help them to overcome challenges that they face in their lives.
