CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you today? JOE: Reeling from yesterday's market research. CALLIOPE: How so? JOE: I worked hard to find an affordable auto responder for readers to sign up for my columns online without advertising attached. CALLIOPE: Did you find one? JOE: Yes and I downloaded it. Then I found all sorts of complicated direction about things I have never heard of. I don't know if is even possible for me to use it. I wasn't ready for such a challenge. CALLIOPE: Maybe it's the price of going cheap. Anything else going on? JOE: I am busy reading Richard Bayer's The Good Person Guidebook which I agreed to review. CALLIOPE: Sounds a little more manageable. JOE: It is. At least I am on familiar ground. I am enjoying the book and have learned some lessons I can use in organizing Commonsense Wisdom for Teens, my next project after I finish Marital Property. CALLIOPE: Have you thought any more about offering your book free? JOE: I have and found that Booklocker has a program of offering most of a book free but not all. Since I have used them before, I will consider this program. CALLIOPE: Probably easier than doing it on your own. JOE: I agree. Talk with you tomorrow.
