Once you have invested time (and maybe resources) in writing the nonfiction book you’ve always wanted to write, it’s time to take steps toward publishing your book. First step in catching the interest of a book agent and the book publishing company is to make them want to publish your book.

You can accomplish this with your book proposal. You want to make it easy for your book editor to identify, in a glance, what your book is about, how long it is, its target audience, who you are (credibility), etc. Your successful book proposal should contain the following elements:

Title Page

This is your cover sheet. The book’s title and the name of the author are centered in the middle of the page. In the upper left corner, type Book Proposal. In the bottom right, type your name, address and phone number (or, if you have one, your book agent’s).

Overview

Summarize what your nonfiction book is about: the topic, who will read it, why it’s important or interesting to your intended audience, and what makes your book different from others in the field.

Specifications

Specify approximate word length, number of chapters, types of illustrations or graphics to be included and any unique organizational schemes or formats (for example, is your book divided into major sections or do you use sidebars?)

Market

Tell the editor who will buy your book, how many of these people exist, and why they need it or will want to read it. Use statistics to dramatize the size of the market. For example, if your book is about infertility, mention that one in six couples in the US is infertile.

Book Promotion

Is your nonfiction book a natural for talk radio or Oprah (be realistic)? Can it be promoted through seminars or speeches to associations and clubs? Give the publishing agent some of your ideas on how the book can be marketed. (Note: Phrase these as suggestions, not demands. The publisher will be interested in your ideas but probably won’t use most of them.)

Competition

Here you list books that compare with yours. Include the title, author, publishing agent, year of publication, number of pages, price, and format (hardcover, trade paperback edition or mass market paperback). Describe each book briefly, pointing out weaknesses and areas in which your book is different and superior.

Author’s Bio

A brief biography listing your writing credentials (books and articles published), qualifications to write about the book’s topic (for instance, for a book on popular psychology, it helps if you’re a therapist), and your media experience (previous appearances on TV and radio).

Table of Contents/Outlines

A chapter-by-chapter outlines showing the contents of your proposed nonfiction book. Many editors tell me that a detailed, well thought-out table of contents in a proposal helps sway them in favor of a book.

Although a solid idea and an excellent book proposal which include all 8 essential element do not assure the success of the book or even that the book publishing company will accept it, they no doubt increases the probability of getting a book published. If either the idea or the book proposal is weak, the chances of the book sale are slim to none.

Still on the fence about choosing a color for your next home painting project? Why not use technology to make the final decision? There is a plethora of mobile apps from your favorite paint manufacturers and home improvement stores to help you make the decision. Let’s begin exploring different mobile apps to pick the next color for your home.

Painting your home is all about choosing the right color. You may love the Periwinkle shade of pink or your current favorite may be Sun Porch yellow. But, will the shades look beautiful on the walls? Sometimes, you may love a particular color but it may not translate beautifully on the walls. Lucky for you, there are a couple of options other than buying the usual paint tester pots at the local home improvement store.

Technology to simplify your Choice!

It is amazing how you can choose from a plethora of color options and narrow the list to a select few. Let’s take a look at few of the popular home painting apps that are easy to use.

1. Color Capture by Benjamin Moore

With Color Capture, you can easily match the colors of a picture and get a few more closest shades to help you make the decision. The app allows you to not only browse through all the Benjamin Moore paint color families and collections but it also offers you the opportunity to share your favorites on social media and obtain reviews from your friends.

If you are confused about choosing a paint color, Benjamin Moore offers ideas and inspiration for painting living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and every other part of your home.

The Paint Calculator option allows you to ascertain the amount of paint that you need to color the room. If you are using the same color for more than one rooms, simply add the total square footage of all the rooms to get an estimate.

Once you have chosen the color palette for your room, you can select the nearest store and buy the color to begin painting.

2. Color Snap by Sherwin Williams

It is one of the most comprehensive paint apps that allows you to explore colors beautifully. You can select color palettes on the basis of any picture in your phone or tab. You can even scan a number from the Sherwin Williams color card and check how it will look in your home. Alternatively, there is the option of choosing color options from its Digital Color Wall. Once you have selected the colors, you can use the sample scenes available in the app or upload any of your pictures to see how the color will look.

The app is ideal for homeowners who haven’t narrowed it down to a few color options. You can take inspiration from different photos of wildlife, cuisine, outdoors and several other things to find the next color for your home.

The Color Snap app gives you ratings of different Sherwin Williams products that are ideal for every room of the house.

You can also locate the nearest store with it and calculate the amount of paint required to give new color to your home.

3. Project Color by The Home Depot

Project Color is a home painting app by The Home Depot, a premier home improvement supplies company. It is a simple app with three main functions:

See it – After you click a picture from your phone or upload one in the app, you can pick your favorite color and see how it looks on the walls. You can play with the Image Tools and edit the lighting to see how the color will look in different lights.

Match It – It is similar to other apps where you can click a picture and find the exact match of the colors. The most amazing feature of the app is its “live feature”. You can move your camera and get real-time feed of different colors in the frame. You can then select the color of your choice and check how it looks on the walls of your home.

Find it – You can view all the different paints and stains available with The Home Depot. Also, you will be able to see your favorite colors options and recently viewed colors here.

The best thing about the app is that once you have picked out your favorite colors, you can shop for it from the company’s online store. You can even share with your friends to get their view on your choice.

The Final Decision

When it comes to using mobile apps for choosing a paint color, many homeowners complain that the actual painting results vary from the results they see in the app. It is essential to remember that on-screen color representation differs in reality. The actual painting result depends on the color choice, painting technique, number of coats, etc. But, it doesn’t mean that you avoid using the apps. They are useful in helping you explore different color options. You can get an idea of how the paint color will look in your home. And, once you have shortlisted a few options, you can opt for paint samples and testers to make the final decision. It means you will be able to enjoy the best of both worlds!

Happy Painting!

Modern bathroom interior design focuses heavily on incorporating warmth, style, and functionality in equal measures. Designers will often look at adjacent space and consider the possibility of losing space in one room to add space to the small bathroom. They view the room as a potential retreat and design with that in mind. By adding storage space, square footage, and modern fixtures built for real people, bathroom interior designers can take your bathroom out of its time warp and into the new millennium.

Lighting FixturesYou might spend a lot of money renovating the bathroom, but it will be the lighting fixtures that will add the finishing touch and make the bathroom a pleasure to use. Be sure to give sufficient attention to lighting from the start. Proper lighting will highlight your remodeling efforts, while inadequate lighting will detract from them. Too often bathroom lighting is inadequate. You don’t have to buy expensive bathroom lighting fixtures to solve the problem, but you do need to buy the right fixtures. You can be creative and buy distinctive yet tasteful fixtures that go with the rest of your décor.

Integrating StorageWhen you’re planning your bathroom interior design, remember that you’ll need somewhere to put the linen cupboard. Storage is a boring but essential aspect of bathroom design; you’d be surprised at just how much we keep in our bathrooms, including medicines, toiletries, stacks of towels and sometimes the laundry basket too. Don’t be tempted to skimp on storage to save space. This is a false economy, because the mess has to go somewhere, and a bathroom with little storage is a cluttered bathroom – not spacious or restful at all. Don’t be shy with ideas: matching your storage receptacles to your bathroom’s theme will make you feel less resentful about devoting space to it. A minimalist bathroom will look great with a traditional white bathroom cupboard, while a rustic-style bathroom will be enhanced by a pine cupboard, perhaps with stenciling.

Bathroom MirrorsBathroom mirrors come in many different shapes, sizes, and styles: rectangular, round, oval, special shapes, with and without frames, and large to small. Decorative wall light fixtures mounted on each side of a standard mirror will illuminate both sides of the face evenly, without shadows. A wall bracket lighting fixture can also be mounted across the top of the mirror. Fixtures using incandescent bulbs behind glass or plastic diffusers emit the most flattering light.

Safety precautions in bathroom designOne of the most important safety precautions to remember is that water and electricity don’t mix. Light switches should either be the cord kind or be situated outside the bathroom itself. You should also make sure that the electrical outlets for items such as hair dryers are safe, especially if those outlets are positioned near water sources. Old or damaged outlets may cause electrocution, or overheat and present a fire hazard. If your outlets are showing signs of wear and tear, get a qualified electrician to replace them. A good way of reducing your risk of electrocution is to install ground-fault circuit interrupters, which detect faults and stop the power supply when there are any electrical leaks in a circuit.

How to Create a Winning Marketing Plan in 6 Simple Steps

It’s surprising how many businesses open their doors without a business plan. You may not have to have every element of a business plan written down to be successful, but without financial projections and a marketing plan, you have no roadmap to success.

The marketing plan section of a business plan is generally a complex document requiring many hours of thought and planning. If you’re a small businessperson and need something quick to get going, the plan need not be extensive, however, it should be written down, followed consistently and updated periodically. In order to get people started and avoid overwhelm, I’ve devised a formula for a simple, straightforward marketing plan. It begins with a six-step outline and then progresses to a chart. Each of these can be completed in about 30 minutes and will provide the day-to-day marketing decisions every business owner needs to make.

1. Why: am I in business? What is the benefit to my customer? What is my vision?
2. Who: is my target market? Can I identify a specific niche?
3. Where: can I find them? Do they belong to certain groups, read specific media?
4. How: do I want to reach them? Will I give talks, go to networking events, do mailings, attend trade shows?
5. What: marketing materials do I need? Web site, brochure, newsletter, ads?
6. When: am I going to implement this strategy? What am I going to do and when am I going to do it?

Let’s say you’re opening a hair salon. The benefit to your customer is that you are open hours other salons are closed, in the evenings and on Sundays. Your target market is local professionals. You can find them in businesses in your area. You decide to reach them by holding a grand opening on a Sunday evening. You select a press release initially as your marketing material. You will send it to the local newspapers three weeks before the event.

Although it may seem simplistic, in reality this method is highly powerful. Whether you’re a new or existing business, you need to be marketing continually. This plan will keep you on track, on time and on budget.

Every home is the paradise of the members of the family. Therefore it is the cherished dream of every home owner to see that the home is upgraded to the latest trends on par with the evolving standards to give the best impression and comforts possible for an involved life. Therefore homeowners always look forward to undertake some modern upgrades to their homes in line with the latest trends and fashions. The most important segment of a home improvement project is Bathroom Remodeling San Antonio. Here are a few useful tips you must know about bathroom remodel in your cherished home.

Working on the available space
Most bathrooms have space constraints. You need the toilet, bath or shower as is the case, inlets, outlets, vanity and other aspects inside your bathroom. Since bathrooms are planned within the smallest spaces in a home layout, a careful thought and planning must go into getting the best arrangement possible. Working with the spatial arrangement of the bathroom is very crucial task to ensure that you get the maximum out of the available space while enjoying an expansive feel simultaneously. A professional bathroom remodeling San Antonio firm can help in making the best spatial arrangement possible in the bathroom aided by their experience and industry knowledge.

Plumbing lines
When it comes to replacing the bathtub or installing an additional shower, the question is about working on the water inlets and outlets. In this case, enough care should be taken to see that the new fixtures are aligned as much as possible in line with the existing plumbing lines so that you do not end up spending a significant amount on reworking the plumbing lines. Also, if you have to lay the lines newly, you are going to mess up the project and take more time to complete the project.

Fixtures and storage
When you have decided to work on your bathroom upgrade, ensure that you consult your family members and find out if they have any special expectations and requirements. Often it would be surprising to note that they can supply you some viable and great ideas with their experience of visiting some bathrooms in their friends’ circles. Also, since bathroom is the place frequently used by all the members, giving enough thought to all their needs and expectations can contribute to the success of the project. If there are seniors in the family, give some thought to their convenience and add the arrangements that will ease their use of bathroom.

Consult professional organizations
Bathroom remodeling San Antonio companies have a lot of experience in the arena and have accomplished a large number of bathroom upgrade projects. Therefore you need to consult them to get the best inputs with regard to rearrangements of the fittings and fixtures, going trendy with regard to new fittings, making the best decision with regard to the accessories and getting the comprehensive support from different kinds of professionals involved in the entire project.

As other object, electronic components also should clean. You know if they get bogged down with dirt and dust they will overheat, causing major problems. In order to avoid this problem, know how to clean electronic parts is very important. Refer to clean electronic components, here are 7 steps for your reference.

Step 1: For the equipment you wish to clean, de-energize it, which means unplugging it, removing the battery or both. To do this is to protect you and equipment from harm.

Step 2: Disassemble the equipment you want to clean to the manufactures’ specifications to prevent damaging the equipment.

Step 3: Blow the bulk of dust and debris from the circuitry with compressed air. Keep the can of air upright, because if it is tilted it potentially can expel liquid and that could damage the circuit board.

Step 4: Dip a cotton swab in the isopropyl alcohol. Just a quick dip will do. Don’t soak it.

Step 5: Use the cotton swab to clean on the circuit board, make sure not get any cotton from the swab stuck on any of the wiringand do this until you’ve gone around the entire circuit board.

Step 6: Use a non-static cloth to wipe screens of the device. If there is a need, you can dab a little alcohol onto the cloth and keep it minimal. This will avoid short circuit.

Step 7: Before re-energizing your entire system, make sure it has dried. And this might take about 5 minites. If you used higher percentage of isopropyl alcohol, it will dry quicker.

To clean electronic components is not as difficult as I thought, come on your work as above and you will find it’s really easy.
