Tuesday's Psychological Trivia: Like A Lover's Hug Or A First Kiss

Thought for the Day: Instead of my regular Psychological Trivia today, I'm posting another short video clip as part of the free download of my book on Amazon.com I guess you could call it trivia, but the funny campaign seems to be helping. The promotion has been very successful pushing the book to #1 in both categories where it is listed. It has been a lot of work for me & my amazing Dream Team. Keep downloading & letting friends know. The link is http://goo.gl/8F2TbU after 11:59 PM (PST) the link will still work but to get the book you will have to pay! We are still hoping to move to the top 100 e-books in all categories (fiction & nonfiction) in the Kindle Store. Thanks for your help & for sharing!

Motivational Monday: The Fortune Teller's Tragedy Revisited Get Motivated Now

Thought for the Day: If you missed the free download that ended on August 6th, don't despair. According to the fortune teller's forecast, this bestselling, self help book can bring you more good fortune than she can. You can still get the Wake Up and Dream Challenge on Amazon.com and 1/2 of the profits will go to whichever Dream Non-profit organization you choose or to all 21(Read about all the organizations here) . As you start the new school year,  it's time to get motivated, reassess your goals and start moving towards your dreams. This book can help.
     This new review came in after the promotion:

5.0 out of 5 stars I woke up, and my dreams are becoming realities August 14, 2013

By pablo-d-ablo

Format:Kindle Edition

The Wake up and Dream Challenge is an innovative approach to helping people get out of a rut, find balance in their life, and achieve their potential. The practical advise, and how it applies to daily life helped me realize how much I allowed the stress of everyday responsibilities to inhibit my ability to think big. I feel optimistic about my future again, the dreams I thought long forgotten are coming true.

Praise for Dr. Lavi for helping others. Her selfless donation of the proceeds to benefit Non-Profits that help others achieve their dreams is unprecedented. If more people thought of others before themselves like this, the world would be a better place.

In case you missed this video, take a look, it's one of the BurmaShave style ads we prepared for the promotion:

Motivational Monday: A Bestseller on The Kindle Store: All Work No Dreams

Play the video to see what baffles her about her parents...

Thought for the Day: Have you ever realized that you should have done something a while ago? Today, I look back at my reluctance to try a free offer (See Why We Have a Love/Hate Relationahip with Free Offers) on Amazon & realize it was a mistake to avoid it for so long. Thanks to the offer, my book has already moved up to the Bestselling #1 free ebook offering on the Kindle Store in two self help categories: Happiness & Dreams!  I guess that makes me a best selling author! My ranking in the Kindle store in all book categories has also moved up significantly & I'm hoping it will rise to the top 100 free e-book before the promotion is over! In this way more people will find my book. Thank you for downloading it & for telling your friends!
     Here's another installment in my #BurmaShave style videos.

Sunday's Comic Strips: Some Funny Signs

 

Thought for the Day: Today I decided to share some of the humorous "Signs" that my interns & I have been preparing & will be posting many more on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr & LinkedIn for the next 3 days as part of our Social media campaign. Some are like these single signs, others are a series of signs. Although all of this is about a self help book related to serious endeavors in the fields of psychotherapy and psychology, these photos are just fun to make! Feel free to share them with friends & make sure you get your free copy as soon as possible. It will only be available for 3 days! Here's the link:  http://goo.gl/8F2TbU

 

Saturday's Songs For the Soul: Using a Classic Song for a Gift

 

Somewhere on Amazon dotcom Way Up High

There's a Free Three Day Offer

Don't Let It Pass You By

Thought for the Day: Today, I could really use some relaxing music. As the free download of the e-Book version of my book quickly approaches, I keep remembering additional things I need to do. I had planed to just post a sneak peak at one of the photos from the campaign today, but realized that I had a more musical one that I could share with you. The only problem was that I only prepared tweets for this series & I needed some Photo signs to go along with it. You will be the first to see this "Over the Rainbow" series. It feels a bit improper to use the classic song in this way, but it is all for a good cause & with a dose of #BurmaShave humor. Let me know what you think. The first verse actually aired on the press release that went out yesterday, but here it is with visuals. The link at the end of the last verse will be active on Sunday at 12 AM (PST) till Tuesday at 11:59 AM (PST). I hope you will download a copy & share this offer with friends, family & colleagues as well! Thanks & I promise I will return to normal blogging after this promotion is over!

#FF Friday's Fabulous Finds: Feel Like A Kid In A Candy Store With Free Photos Galore!

Thought for the Day: The best find this week is the free download of my book, The Wake Up and Dream Challenge, which starts this Sunday at 12 AM PST. You do not need a kindle, Amazon has an e-book reader that you can also download for free. Be sure to let all your friends know about this great opportunity, but don't wait too long the offer ends on Tuesday 8/6 at 11:59 PM (PST). Here is the link to download the e-book: http://goo.gl/8F2TbU

I promised to let you know about my new source for free photos today. If you have been following my blog & facebook page, you know that I enjoy finding & adapting great images. With this fabulous find from Dream Team Adam, I feel like a kid in a candy store. If you are a blogger or entrepreneur using social media, this is a goldmine of great images.

It is an amazing site with a terrible name, MorgueFiles.com. They explain the morbid name on their site in this way:

     "A morgue file is a place to keep post production materials for use of reference, an inactive job file. This morgue file contains free high resolution digital stock photography for either corporate or public use. The term "morgue file" is popular in the newspaper business to describe the file that holds past issues flats. Although the term has been used by illustrators, comic book artist, designers and teachers as well. The purpose of this site is to provide free image reference material for use in all creative pursuits. This is the world wide web's morguefile." 

Here's what it says about the photos you find on their site: 

"free photo You are allowed to copy, distribute, transmit the work and to adapt the work. Attribution is not required. You are prohibited from using this work in a stand alone manner."

The photo that I used with this post was from:

COLORFUL_CANDY_HEARTS.jpg By Ladyheart 6 years, 7 months, 4 days ago

I don't have to give attribution, but whenever I have time I will. For the promotion it did make it easier. I will find a way to give the photographers credit for the great photos when the Amazon promotion is over.

 

Have a great weekend!
