Networking Essential For A Successful Crowdfunder And Developing Such A Network Is It's Purpose


TWEET THIS  http://goo.gl/qsSdsq


As you can see I am doing a crowdfunder in an attempt to raise the resources to take advantage of a 50% discount on iuniversal's program for self publishers. It is no surprise that I raised no funds on the first day because I am what you call an outlier blogger, which means in essence that I am not connected to a network of people working or supporting what I do. My mission in bringing the information and point of view that I present in my blog is to affect change in the entrenched political paradigm in Maine, and the USA,including the media. Crowdfunding depends on networking and I lack a network, which is why I want to be part of the Iuniversal program, a program which connects self published authors to community of professionals in the self publishing industry.It will help to build a network.

I do not get paid for writing my blog and so it is not easy to find the time and focus to put the information I have gathered and the ideas that I have developed into a book form, especially when I find myself spending more and more of my time commenting on current bills and issues that arise. The iuniversal program can provide a community with which I can connect on this project helping to maintain the focus needed to bring the book into being:

When you publish with iUniverse, you not only partner with one of the most well-known organizations in the industry, but you also receive unique supported self-publishing benefits.

Here are just a few of the advantages you'll discover as an iUniverse author:
  • Extensive editorial tools that maximize your book's potential for success
  • Innovative partner services with traditional publishers and well-known organizations, such as Tarcher, Berrett-Koehler and Indigo Chapters, to keep you ahead in the marketplace
At iUniverse, we help you develop your book into a professional product that readers, agents and reviewers can appreciate. Our publishing options are designed to offer you the support and tools that best fit your book's needs. You can also find more information about iUniverse and review all of our publishing options at www.iuniverse.com.

I would like to have the book out in the months before the next election season, Political campaigns must be in the works long before I am anticipating publishing my book but I expect there to be more bonds on the ballot. The bonds will be sold to Mainers as "job creation" . If you read the actual text of the bond bill. it will probably tell you that the bonds will be processed through the same state corporations that redistribute the taxpayers money to the new owners of the means of production, which I have written about on my blog. The fiscal information will not accompany the bond question on the ballot as required by Maine Constitution because in 2013 the Maine legislature passed a statute over riding the Maine Constitution by directing that information to be placed "somewhere outside the guardrail" which means "outside the voting area". There are no instructions in that statute stating how to let the public know that information is available and where it is to be found.

The other reason for wanting to publish a book is to preserve the research I have done and the view on the historical transformation of Maine which I have expressed in a more permament form so that  that the work I have done can continue to have a life of its own, even after I am gone.

The total cost of the program is about $800.00 with the discount. To take advantage of that discount I  need $300.00 by Monday. To keep the money I raise from the crowdfunder even if I do not meet my goal, I need to raise $500.00 and to be able to publish stories on Beacon I need to successfully reach my goal of $800.00.

Please consider being a backer of my book publishing crowdfunder. If you can only make a small contribution, that is appreciated. If you can afford to make a large contribution that will help to make up for the fact that I do not currently have a network of support needed for a successful crowdfunder. The goal of this crowdfunder is to pay for a subscription to a community that can help me to develop such a network.

You can click on the ad for my crowdfunder found at the top of the side panel on my blog to make a contribution.


Thank You,

Mackenzie

FaceBook Blocking- in-Q-Tel and the Private Hegemony Of Power

TWEET THIS:  http://goo.gl/9y2MiH  Recently a message appeared  on my screen , being identified as from Facebook. It brought up the Facebook login screen and warned against sending friend requests to people that one does not know in one's circle of friends , family, work, and classmates I first received the message several months ago. The first message included a list of twenty names of people who did not respond to my friend request over all the years that I have been on Facebook. It asked that I delete all the requests and suggested that I stop sending friend requests for a week. The next was a list of 7 names - some of them very recent requests, which I did not think were given adequate response time. The third message to appear  told  that I am blocked for a week from adding friends and displayed a list of five names- all very recent requests- all in response to those with whom I interacted on Facebook- and one within the last hour of receiving t...

Mayor LePage on Baldacci Reducing Funding To Municipalities

Tweet This  http://goo.gl/Et0wWS As Governor, LePage seems on track to implement the Steve Woods plan of nudging the inhabitants of rural towns to move into urban centers. Steve Woods was then the would be CEO of the corporate state. In the video Mr Woods explains that the inhabitants of 108 Maine Towns are not serving the corporation as they should be. Mr Woods says the 108 municipalities of Maine are costing the  corporation five times as much as the corporations recieves from these instrumentalities in sales tax revenue. Mr Woods speaks as a man managing a corporation not as a would be Governor of a state. He speaks in calm Obamaesque tones signaling that we can surely trust this erudite man so pro-active for the cause of state corporatism . The corporate state replaced Maine's constitution back in 1976 when Governor Longely called in the heads of Maine industry to restructure Maine as corporatio n, kicking the old fashioned Maine constitution out of ...

Why are social impact investors trying so hard to defeat smaller shelters for the homeless?

  "Social Impact” developers in Portland, Maine seek to squelch a referendum for smaller shelters called for by qualified practitioners with concrete experience in the field. A large sign says Vote C to support the Homeless, small handmade sign next to it says Untrue! That sign is paid for by developers who want / Photo by Jess Falero In   the 1970s under Governor Longley , Maine became a centrally managed economy that expanded Maine’s wealth gap and merged, almost seamlessly, the public and private and the non-profit and for-profit economic sectors into one mutually beneficial wealth-concentration & distribution system. Currently, mutually benefitting factions are coming together once again in hopes of building a mega-shelter for the homeless in a Portland, Maine industrial development district. In addition to beds for the homeless, the project will include, dining, and locker facilities, as well as offices and an attached health clinic. The promotion  describes the ...
