Well actually I've been posting 'teaser' messages in a.e.d. for a couple of weeks, to encourage folks to come over here. The one to the chap in the Ukraine was the first with real content, since it had nothing whatever to do with distance education, and it seemed silly to require him to log into a different site for the simple message I had for him. John Bear
I rather like Kristin Hirst's approach, which is to provide at least a little bit of meat with the post before throwing the teaser out there. It seems a lot less like advertising that way. Larry
Makes sense to me, Larry. From now on, a little meat. Same approach I try to use when people ask about things that are in one of my (or, soon, our) books: give some useful information, but not necessarily everything relevant in the book. A fine but generally achievable line, I think.
John, How about a book that only covers RA (and foreign equivant) with specific degrees. Like the computer but break it down, MBA section Lberal Arts section, Health Care etc. Dan still in homework avoidance mode
Dan asks (and no, we didn't pay him to ask), How about a book that only covers RA (and foreign equivant) with specific degrees. Like the computer but break it down, MBA section Lberal Arts section, Health Care etc. That is indeed Ten Speed's marketing plan. Bears' Guide to the Best MBAs by Distance Learning is out; Best Computer Degrees (done with Larry McQueary whom we met at a.e.d.) will be out next month; Best Education Degrees (with Tom Head and Tom Nixon, both met on the newsgroup) will be out in the fall, with others to follow, if sales are satisfactory.

Which sounds great until you get into my area of Health/hospital etc. then I am afraid if will be a very small monograph Dan Snelson
