How to Profitably Sell Books on Amazon

How to Profitably Sell Books on Amazon-Bargain Books

Knowing which books to offer on Amazon can mean the difference between a good income stream and total failure. Here is what you need to know.

Bargain Books

First, how do I sell books on Amazon

Amazon.com has a feature called Amazon Marketplace. This service lets you sell your used books, CDs, DVDs, etc. just by listing their code number (ISBN number for books, etc.) Listings can literally be completed in a minute or less for each item you sell. It does take a few minutes to set up a selling account but there is no charge for doing so. In fact the only time you incur a charge is when something actually sells.

There is one small negative to this approach. It only works with products that have a code number. So if you have antique books or other items without a code number, you will need to set up an amazon shop. There is a monthly fee for setting up a shop but the fees that amazon charges are much less in this method of selling than the direct selling method in the prior paragraph. So if you become a volume seller it is probably worth the investment in getting an amazon shop as the investment will quickly be paid for by the savings in fees.

Second, decide your interest level (i.e. just list books or get a store)

The next step is to decide your interest level. It is going to be a casual thing or will you be treating it as a serious business.

Lets say you were just cleaning house and wanted to make a bit of money on some books or CDs you have. In this instance, it doesn't make sense to set up an amazon shop as you won't earn enough to justify the monthly investment in keeping your shop running. But lets say your passion was yard sales and bargain hunting and you knew that every week you could find and list hundreds of books, CDs, DVDs, etc. In this case getting an amazon shop would be a wise investment.

Basically amazon is structured to satisfy anyone's selling needs and they have a variety of simple tools that will help you achieve your selling goals in a quick, cost effective and efficient manner.

Third, these are the types of books you should not be selling

Selling used books is not an obvious thing to do. Common sense would say that bestsellers are the best kind of book to offer because they have sold millions of copies. But it is their very popularity that makes them poor books to sell. If you do a search on amazon for a bestseller, you will find that many people are selling their used copies, many times for under .00. With millions of copies out there, the market is glutted. This is true for any type of bestseller - fiction or nonfiction. Other books types you want to avoid are biographies, cookbooks and political books. And of course books like encyclopedias, readers digest condensed books, dictionaries, etc. are also terrible for resale. Oh, and also avoid old library books. There is nothing wrong with them per se but they will be slow sellers because of the markings the library puts on the books.

The only exception to this rule would be signed first editions. If you find a signed first edition, it will retain value and possibly be worth more than the published price depending on who the author is.

Books you should be looking for are books about specific nonfiction. subjects. (In other words, avoid all fiction books.) For instance, books about cars, boats, playing tennis, collecting coins, herbal medicine, business (as long as they are not best sellers), real estate, gardening, etc. are all excellent books and have a very high prospect of selling for a very high price when compared to a bestseller. I will typically get 50-75% of the cover price selling these types of books on amazon.com.

One other thing to note when choosing books to sell. Try to find books that are in perfect or near perfect condition. These books will have their dust jacket if hard cover. The spine will not be broken. They will not be filled with writing. People know they are buying used books when buying from you but they want a book that is nice and presentable, not one that is falling apart.

Where can you find used books for sale?

Used books are everywhere but your goal is to get them as cheaply as possible - preferably for or less. Places I regularly check include yard sales, flea markets, thrift shops and libraries. Libraries often have used books donated to them that they just put right on the sales table. I think the people who donate them think they will end up on the shelves of the library but they never do. Estate sales and auctions can also provide opportunities to buy books. And keep your eyes open. You never know when you might run into a buying opportunity.

Will all the books sell?

No matter how carefully you pick your books, you will end up with some that just don't sell or are just very slow in selling. This is normal. Chances are good that the book will eventually sell but it could take several months. And if you purchase your used books cheaply enough, the carrying cost of the books that sell will be small. I find that if I list a random selection of 100 books, about 25% of them will sell each month. That means that after 4-5 months, I can pretty much assume that all the books that will sell have actually sold and I may be left with 5-10 books that for whatever reason had no buyers.

At that point, I make one of two choices. I either lower the offering price on amazon to try to attract a buyer or "trade" the book for something more desirable.

The only time to buy bestsellers

There is one time and one specific reason I will buy bestsellers. If I have the opportunity to buy a large number of hardcover (and sometimes paperback) bestsellers in perfect condition for under each (under .25 each if softcover), I will usually buy them. However, I will not sell them on amazon.

There are a large number of used bookstores that will buy or trade books with you. They typically give you 20-25% of the books list price if you want cash and up to 50% of the books list price if you want a credit. That means I have a ready outlet for liquidating these books. If it is worthwhile, I can just swap them for immediate cash. Or I can trade them for other books I can sell at amazon. In general, I make out better in a trading situation than in a cash situation but sometimes if I have way too many books, I will just go for the cash option to reduce my inventory. It is a really effective form of inventory management.

Before you jump out and buy 100's of bestsellers, do check with the used bookstores in your area to see what they are offering for these books. Different shops may offer different rates depending on their current inventory. A little shopping around by phone can result in a lot more cash ending up in your pocket.

How much can I realistically make?

The amount you can make in any given month depends entirely on how many books you acquire that month, how well you did at negotiating the cost and how well your books choices were. This is a business where you can easily make several hundred to several thousand dollars a month depending on the above items. Also it is a business that can give you higher returns the longer you do it. The more you sell, the more you get to know what will sell quickly and what will sell slowly. That will let you be a bit more particular about the books you choose in your book hunting. Instead of ending up with lots of unsold books at the end of the month, you will have an inventory that turns over very rapidly.

Book selling is a really fun and stress free way to earn anywhere from a supplemental part time income to a full time income. And with the tools offered at amazon.com, it is really easy to get started and keep the profits flowing. There aren't many businesses where you can make money by shopping but this is one of them!

What to Do If You Feel Like a Guilty Parent

What to Do If You Feel Like a Guilty Parent-Bargain Books

What a day! Everything that could go wrong did. By dinner time, Marla felt ready to explode at the smallest provocation - which her six-year-old son unwittingly provided when he spilled his milk. Before she knew it, a hurtful string of words had slipped out of her mouth. "What's the matter with you Jason, you're always so careless! Now look at the mess you made!" Marla could hardly believe she'd said that to her son. A wave of guilt swept over her as tears began rolling down his cheeks.

Bargain Books

Sound familiar? Every parent has knee-jerk reactions to milk spills and the thousand daily irritations that come with having kids. And every parent says or does things in anger or frustration that he or she quickly regrets. It's natural to feel guilty when we belittle our kids or yell at them unfairly. But this is one of the few varieties of guilt that can be productive, if we use it to react differently the next time. (And there's always a next time, often sooner than you'd like.)

Let's rewind the tape and see how Marla could learn from her mistake. For example, she could, say to herself, "I really need a cool-down period after miserable days like this one. So I'm going to take at least five minutes for a time out for myself without interruptions from anybody." That would be a positive way for Marla to avoid hurtful outbursts that come from fatigue or stress.

Whereas productive guilt can help us change for the better, non-productive guilt stems from situations that are beyond our control. For example, if you must work, so you have to put your child in day care. You have an only child,and you can't have any more, yet you feel guilty because you're afraid your child will be lonely. Or you get stuck in a horrendous traffic jam and can't get your son or daughter to a play date. Unfortunately, most of us experience useless guilt more often, which makes us feel discouraged and saps our energy.

So how do we transform non-productive guilt into a learning experience? The first step is to understand what causes it.

It's All Around You
Most guilt arises from the reactions and opinions - real or perceived - of other people. Consider the case of one of my workshop parents, Barbara, who participated in an informal weekly playgroup with several other mothers and kids in her neighborhood. Barbara's two-year-old daughter, Jackie, had the most difficulty sharing and was more prone to tantrums than her peers. During one session, when Jackie tussled with another child over a toy car and then launched into an ear-splitting tantrum, Barbara noticed two other mothers look at each other as if to say, "There she goes again."

Barbara told us that she was thinking about quitting the playgroup. She sensed the negative judgments of the other mothers and felt especially guilty because her overly-demanding child made her feel like a failure. When she brought this up in of my workshop, the moms reassured her that their kids often embarrassed them in public, and that such scenes were an inevitable part of raising a spirited toddler.

Barbara and the others then began to talk about how guilt seems to be a universal part of parenting. Where does all this guilt come from, they asked. "From others, and sometimes ourselves," I told them. Let's take a look at the most common ways in which we let other people - friends, relatives, strangers, and even our kids -- pin the guilty label on us.

Six Sources of Guilt...and Six Guilt Busters

1. Parenting as a Competitive Sport. It's hard for some of us to accept ourselves as "good enough parents," especially when we tend to compare ourselves. We've all heard phrases like: "She's always so calm and NEVER loses her cool." ... "She ALWAYS seems to know exactly what to do." ... "Her son NEVER has temper tantrums." ... "His daughter is ALWAYS so well-behaved at family gatherings." These kinds of competitive statements make us feel guilty for believing we're the only ones who can't manage our children.

But only in the movies or on TV shows do people NEVER lose their cool, or do children behave like cute and appealing puppets. In the real world, no parent remains calm and collected ALL the time. And no child ALWAYS behaves as a perfect little being. Yet it's common for parents to feel as if they're failures when their kids act out or when they "lose it" themselves.

Guilt Buster: When people tell me that they find it easy to manage their kids or rarely get angry at their "little angels," I simply don't believe them. When parents in my workshops speak of friends who make such claims, I simply tell them, "They lie!" Remember, the only real standards for measuring parental self-worth are the ones that you create for yourself. So give yourself permission to make mistakes, and accept the fact that you're always learning on the job.

2. Replaying Old Scripts. Even before our children are born, many of us are convinced that we're going to be exceptional parents and not make the mistakes made by our own mothers and fathers. But then reality hits and we discover that we're either just like them or we've gone to the other extreme.

A perfect example is my friend Elise, who once lamented, "My mother was highly critical, so when I had my own children, I vowed that I certainly wasn't going to follow in Mom's footsteps. But guess what? That's exactly what I do. I constantly criticize my kids and then feel terrible about it. Whenever they're giving me a hard time, my mother's words just tumble out of my mouth before I can stop them."

Guilt Buster: Join the club, Elise; learned behaviors are extremely difficult to unlearn. After all, our first teachers (our parents) were our most powerful role models, so it's only natural to continue their lessons throughout our adult lives, too. It takes real effort and self-determination to create new scripts - your own - for handling the many situations you encounter every day. So go easy on yourself; give yourself credit each time you don't blurt out negative remarks that your parents might have said to you.

3. Neglecting Your Own Needs. Let's face it: being a parent requires a lot of time and sacrifice. That means you may feel conflicted when you take care of yourself. For instance, Jane really benefits from her daily workout. But sometimes she has difficulty allowing herself to go to the gym. Even though she has a great babysitter, her kids begin protesting as soon as they see her putting on her running shoes. Too often, she caves in and skips her workout because she feels guilty.

Guilt Buster: Surprising as it may sound, the parent who's always making sacrifices at the expense of her own needs isn't doing her children any favors. When Jane works out, she comes back feeling energized and more patient. The key for her is to remember that her kids aren't about to say, "Go ahead Mommy, we know this is good for you." Jane can't expect her children to give her permission to exercise, so she needs to give it to herself without guilt or ambivalence.

4. Getting Caught up in the "I Should Have Known..." Syndrome. Sometimes parents blame themselves unnecessarily for their lack of knowledge. For example, one father I know, Dave, related an incident that took place seven years ago. He recalls how his then five-year-old son woke up one Sunday morning coughing and feeling sick. Dave administered over-the-counter cough syrup and went about his weekend chores, while his son sat curled up in a chair. Over the course of the day, Dave got more and more frustrated with his son's complaining and told him that it's "just a little cough," and if he got up and did something fun, he'd feel better. Finally, towards dinner time, he realized that his son was in serious respiratory distress and rushed him to the hospital. The diagnosis was asthma. "He could have died," the distraught man relayed. "I thought I was pretty knowledgeable -- how could I have missed the signs of an asthma attack?"

Guilt Buster: While being consumed with guilt, Dave forgot an essential fact: he's an advertising executive, not a doctor. Sure, we're far better informed than any generation of parents before us. But that doesn't mean we should blame ourselves for not knowing everything. The key is to use your mistakes as learning opportunities.

5. Catching Other People's Barbs. This is the most damaging of all guilt sources, and it often comes from people who care about you, such as family members and friends. A friend might express subtle disapproval of your child's eating preferences -- "My son just loves vegetables." Or when you pick up your crying baby, your mother might say, "Aren't you being a little overprotective?"

Strangers, too, may feel compelled to give you advice or critique your parenting style. These days it's not uncommon to hear phrases like, "How can you let him go out without a hat?"... "Isn't he a bit old to be sucking his thumb?" ... Or even, "Maybe what she needs is a good swat!"

Consider the case of Lynn, a mother of an active preschooler. Lynn had gone to the store to buy some cleanser so she could clean up the walls that her son had decorated with crayons and markers. She described the following conversation.

"So, how old is your kid?" the young clerk asked as he packaged Lynn's groceries and listened to her wall-cleaning woes.

"Three-and-a-half," Lynn replied.

"Really?" the clerk blurted out in amazement. "Writing on the walls at three? Sounds like you let him get away with murder."

Lynn had walked into the store feeling somewhat amused - at least the drawings on the wall were colorful and creative - and left feeling wounded by the clerk's gratuitous and insensitive remark.

Guilt Buster: At the time of the incident, Lynn thought she had two choices: either absorb the barb and feel bad, or lash back to defend herself or challenge the clerk's remark. Better yet to accept the fact that this outsider was just making an uninformed assumption, without knowing anything about Lynn or her child. She could then have ignored the comment or realized the clerk knew nothing about how many kids behave."

6. Accepting the "Bad Mommy" Label. It's so easy to allow our children to judge our worthiness as parents when they make statements like: "You're mean." ... "You don't love me." ... "It's not fair." "Daddy's nicer." These are the remarks that try parent's souls - though spoken from the mouths of babes, we nonetheless feel hurt, and often guilty, when we hear them. That guilt often leads to three extra rounds of a board game or giving in to requests for more cookies than we had originally agreed to. The "bad mommy" label is a tough one to accept.

Guilt Buster. Children can't possibly judge our parenting worth objectively, and we can't empower them to do so. Phrases like, "you're mean, why can't I have just one more ice cream cone?" can be gently but firmly answered with "I know you'd like to have another ice cream cone. But my limit is one." Above all, try not to get defensive - this isn't about you or your loveability. It's about setting limits and showing your child that you said "no" because you're actually quite a good mommy!

One Step Back, Two Steps Forward
Whenever you experience guilt, stop and ask yourself whether it's of the useless or useful variety. Then, if it is productive guilt, give yourself a break by resolving to learn from the experience and respond differently the next time. Most important, work at wiping useless guilt out of your life. You won't be guilt-free. But you will be guilt-savvy and ready for the next situation that puts your parenting mettle to the test.

Wholesale Distribution: Make Money With The Best Business in the World!

Wholesale Distribution: Make Money With The Best Business in the World! The business of wholesale distributing is one of the oldest and most profitable businesses in history. One of the reasons is because you don't need to be there all the time to make money; you have lots of other businesses selling the items for you. These businesses are your customers. People that buy from you to resell the products and make money themselves. They can be wholesalers themselves or they can be retailers. Either way, it's a way to multiply your sales.

Did you ever wanted to start a business? Chances are that any business will have something to do to with the "wholesale business". Most businesses have to buy goods at wholesale or have to buy supplies at wholesale prices. If you have a restaurant you don't go to the market to buy food at retail prices, you have a wholesale distributor called "foodservice distributor" deliver your products. If you have any time of retail store or business you need wholesale suppliers. Even if you provide a service like a doctor or a hair stylist chances are you are buying supplies at wholesale prices. Wholesalers are everywhere and they are involved with almost every business in the world. The best thing about this business is that you can make sales when you are not there. Once you get a few stores as customers you will see how they will sell your products over and over again while you are at home, on vacation, with friends and family. You deliver them, they sell them! Multiplying your sales is probably one of the most important factors in wholesale distribution. It's what makes this business interesting. It's not just you working and making money on an hourly basis, you have many people working many hours to make money and in turn make you money. When you are a good distributor with a good product and good service, people will come to you. They will find you and they will keep buying from you. Why? Because that's their business, that's how they make their money. You would do the same thing. If you have a supplier with fast selling products you'll keep buying from the supplier because you keep moving the merchandise. This is why even very small one man operations can make money in this business. Even if they sell what everyone else is selling. Even if they are more expensive. Why, because they are there. They have good service and if you are a retailer you know that you need products to sell products. If your shelves are empty because your supplier is not there, you are loosing money. It does not matter if your supplier has the best price, if he does not have good service you won't have a long relationship with them. In the next few chapters you will learn the different types of distribution business out there, the types of products and services you can sell, and how much you can make with each one. When you are reading the types of wholesale businesses try and see yourself doing each of these tasks or running each of those businesses. If you like a particular business, highlight it and do some research on it. There are many things you can do in wholesale and distribution depending on your personality, your cash situation and your goals.

Restaurant Supplies Wholesale

Restaurant Supplies Wholesale When restaurant owners or management refer to purchase of supplies, it is difficult for most people to imagine the vast number of items that may be required. For customers, concerns regarding a restaurant are limited to hygiene, affordability, choice and taste. Restaurants undertake detailed planning of their supplies to meet customer needs and ensure their own profitability. Wholesale restaurant supplies refer to large quantities of supplies sold to retailers for resale to actual consumers. Generally, wholesalers buy from manufacturers and then sell to retailers. There are many companies that specialize in buying wholesale restaurant supplies from manufacturers and resell these supplies to restaurants at retail prices. Retailers and consumers with a need for a large quotient of supplies may also purchase directly from manufacturers at wholesale prices.

The supply needs of a restaurant are enormous and the costs involved in purchasing restaurant supplies are huge. Profitability is unthinkable unless these costs are optimized. Every dollar paid in excess strains resources that become problematic when managing operating costs. Most restaurants purchase restaurant supplies in the wholesale market, as they are at discounted prices when compared to market prices. Restaurants require a large amount of supplies on a daily basis. As a result, the industry thrives on wholesale purchases, which ensures favorable returns on investments. Equipment such as refrigerators, food processors and dishwashers are long-term investments and are not purchased in bulk by restaurants. Most restaurants create an estimate of daily need after assessing daily consumption and dining trends. There are numerous restaurant supplies that are purchased regularly by restaurants from both the retail and wholesale markets, as wholesale purchases don't entirely meet their demands. This includes foodstuff such as dairy, meat, fruit and vegetable. Foodstuffs that are required daily and do not spoil easily such as tea, coffee, beer, wine, pulses, whole-wheat and oil, are also purchased in bulk. Other wholesale purchases are paper napkins, aluminum foil and containers. Disposable plates, glasses, spoons, forks, knives and chopsticks that are used commonly used at fast food restaurants are usually purchased wholesale. Wholesale purchases are not only a way to save money but also ensure ready availability of supplies that help restaurants function in a systematic manner.

How Much Does It Cost to Publish a Book?

How Much Does It Cost to Publish a Book? I'm sure many indie authors and publishers would love it if there was a nice, neat answer to this question. Unfortunately, because every project is unique and there are several factors that involve several variables, it just isn't possible to give specific numbers that will apply across the board.

It is possible however and very advisable, to familiarize yourself with the various components that go into publishing a book; that doesn't change much. The information provided here is based on services in the U.S.A. and from here you can research going rates for equivalent services where you live. 1. Editing This is a step that, unfortunately, too many independent authors overlook. It truly is a necessity however to have your book professionally edited until it is as near to perfect as it can be. This might involve developmental work at the beginning and another round focusing on the technical stuff like having periods and commas in the right places at the end. At each stage you can plan to pay anywhere from a dollar a page if your manuscript is really clean to begin with, up to seven or eight dollars a page for more detailed assessments for work that needs a lot of help. If you know someone whose profession involves writing in some form, you may be able to get a bargain, but do no matter what, do not skip this step. Your readers and your reputation should be worth the expense. 2. Cover Design This is an area where you can pay a lot or not, depending partly on your personal preferences. Costs for graphic design are all over the board. You can get a quality cover done for a few hundred dollars or a few thousand. The two biggest factors to consider is professional knowledge of what makes a good design as well as your satisfaction. Some people will pay a little more to work with someone they absolutely love even if they might get something similar for less. 3. Interior Layout & Prep As with cover design, you'll need to find an experienced graphic designer for this element as well. This time price will partly be determined by complexity. It should cost less if your content is mainly text that needs to be set into chapters, compared to having a lot of photos, charts or graphs that all need to be sized appropriately etc. Here again, costs could be a few hundred to somewhere in the thousand dollar range. 4. Printing There are a several factors that play a role in determining your cost per book. One of the main ones is how long the book is of course, but quantity figures in as well. Generally speaking, if you're using print on demand technology (printing only a handful at a time) you will pay somewhere around four to seven or eight dollars for a 150 page book roughly. If you print 500 or more, the cost should start to go down. Print cost is definitely one factor where it is imperative to comparison shop and to be absolutely sure about what you're getting for your money. As you can hopefully see, the costs of publishing can be significant. However, if you have a message to share, something to say that will make a difference in the life of someone else, you'll also find it is worth it. How Much Does It Cost to Publish a Book?

Stephen King - "The New York Times at Special Bargain Rates" Review

Stephen King - "The New York Times at Special Bargain Rates" Review This short story of Mr. King's "The New York Times..." really needed to be longer, it is better than "Harvey's Dream," but that isn't saying much. It starts off with a mystery, and ends in twilight. He is by far no Bram Stoker in writing short stories; it is goofy, a little gross, plainly written, more satire than drama or whatever: to be honest, when he wrote the book "Just before Sunset," he should have reviewed some of H.P. Lovecraft's short stories, and Clark A. Smith's, and Stokers: you can see he's out of practice.

It is about a plane crash, and although Mr. King has a great imagination, he unendingly and unnecessarily plants dumb innuendos here and there throughout this ten-page story, although I think he's having fun doing it. Anyhow, there is not much energy in this story, but a good story line. He cusses, and I can't guess why, do people really cuss that much around him-do people really get a jolt out of that? It doesn't do the story any good. His style is like a flat balloon although his dialogue is better than "Harvey's Dream" and the narration is one step up. I'm not going to tell you the end of the story, a writer needs to sell books, good or not. If you read it, you'll have to read it twice to absorb it completely I do believe: or read it slow. Plus, he could have found a better name for the story. He's lucky he has a following; he'd starve to death if he depended on this book.

Many body building supplements also work well for weightlifting programs and even certain diet programs. On the other hand, you may find some sports supplements and nutritional products work better for the specific style of workout routine you are following. For body building enthusiasts working towards muscle growth, there are some excellent weight gainer whey protein supplements available to help meet your goal. Because these bodybuilding products help add weight and muscle, they may not be best suited for workout routines designed only to tone muscle. Body Building Supplements Building muscle mass while sculpting your body for the perfect look can be a long and difficult process. You can improve workout results with sports nutrition products like whey protein isolate, nor androstenediol, guggulsterones, amino acids, DHEA and meal replacement bars. Bodybuilders and weightlifters alike reach their goals as well as their limits while depending on quality bodybuilding supplements. Weightlifting Supplements Weightlifters are always pushing themselves to the limit or lifting weights to the point of 'failure'. To 'burn' through these sets and increase muscle growth, weightlifters employ nutritional supplements. You can safely combine supplements, such as a whey protein isolate, Nitric Oxide and Testosterone Boosters, whether you are just beginning or wanting to reach your peak performance. Weight training programs at all levels benefit when bodybuilding supplements are used in weightlifting workouts. Nitric Oxide Nitric Oxide is a free form gas that is produced in the body and is used by the body to communicate with other cells in the body. To produce this gas, enzymes in the body break down the amino acid Arginine. Nitric Oxide is a molecule consisting of one atom of nitrogen and one atom of oxygen. The production of Nitric Oxide occurs when the amino acid L-arginine is converted into L-citruline through an enzyme group known as Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS). Everyone REQUIRES nitric oxide to carry out key physiological processes within the body. From a bodybuilder's perspective, nitric oxide supplementation may prove useful in increasing growth due to increases in blood flow to certain areas of the body. Further, men suffering from erectile dysfunction may also find supplementing with nitric oxide helpful. Signs of deficiency include the inability to achieve and sustain erections, physical weakness and extreme fatigue. Most "nitric oxide" supplements contain the amino acid Arginine-alpha-keto-glutarate. With any amino acid containing product, overdose is a possibility. Dosing with too much arginine can lead to diarrhea, weakness and nausea. Clear dosing guidelines have not been established, so it is best to do what is known as "tolerance mapping". Take a small dosage for one week, note the benefits and the side effects, and increase the dosage until the benefits are maximized and the side effects minimized. Over time the two will converge and you will hit the optimal dose. This process is similar to "receptor mapping" for bodybuilders who use insulin. Protien Powders Many protein powders are fortified with amino acids, including arginine. With this in mind, pay particular attention to how much arginine you are ingesting from all supplements taken. Protein powders are formulated to be the perfect meal in a quick and easy shake. It is easy to take them with you to work or school or anywhere that you need to get your protein or satisfy your hunger in a healthy way. Need to eat one gram of protein per pound of body weight? Or maybe you are trying to eat six small meals each day? Sounds easier than it really is, huh? Protein powders like the ones listed below may be exactly what you are looking for. How do you pick a protein out of the hundreds that we have for you to choose from? Basically, you are looking for a powder that has the right amount of protein, carbs, fat and the correct protein type for your goal. If you are trying to lose fat, you will most likely want a low carb, low calorie protein. The extra protein will help you keep your current muscle mass. If you are trying to gain muscle, you would want a high protein, high calorie powder that is relatively low in sugar and fat. If you are simply trying to find a quick meal replacement, a protein powder with medium carbs and medium calories would most likely be for you. The three most popular types of protein are whey, casein and soy. Whey Out of the many protein sources out there, whey protein is the ultimate. It comes from milk. During the process of turning milk into cheese, whey protein is separated out. Protein can be found in a variety of foods -mainly meats, such as fish, beef, and chicken. Dairy products as well as eggs, cottage cheese, soy and vegetable protein also contain good amounts of protein. Nevertheless, none of these sources compares in quality or ease of use like whey protein. Whey protein has the highest value in providing branched-chain amino acids, which result in building and retaining muscle tissue. Whey protein (the highest quality and best form of protein) is incredible stuff. It provides the body with the necessary building blocks to produce amino acids that are used for building muscle tissue. Whoa! Nearly every bodybuilder knows the importance of protein supplementation. Studies have been conducted that compare whey protein to other sources. They have found that whey protein contains the perfect combination of overall amino acid makeup... and in just the right concentrations for optimal performance in the body. Both hormonal and cellular responses seem to be greatly enhanced with supplementation of whey protein, too! Not to mention the benefits whey protein has on the body's immune system according to documented scientific research. Whey protein also plays a role as an antioxidant and helps support a health immune system. Most importantly, consistent whey protein intake coupled with exercise will result in consistent muscle building. Training athletes often consume 25 grams of whey protein per day. Bodybuilders who want serious gains (and are burning serious calories), generally consume 150 grams per day. Extremely high doses of whey protein is not recommended, as this will cause the body's liver to be overloaded and you won't get the same benefits as with a consistent lower amount taken three to five times per day. BCAA: Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Amino Acid supplements are an effective and useful blend of essential amino acids for the human body. Amino acids come from protein rich sources such as meat, fish, dairy products, and vegetables such as legumes, peas, and grains. There are many types of amino acid supplements on the market. Some products claim to have a large quantity of amino acids, but come primarily from a weak protein source (such as milk). Unfortunately, people may have allergies associated with the protein source. Our supplement formula is comprised of the highest quality crystalline protein source. One and one-half grams of powder three times a day should be sufficient to provide the body with an adequate supply of available amino acids to assist in digesting food and bulking up. There are no side effects with proper supplementation. Testosterone Boosters: Raising your testosterone helps you to gain muscle, enhance your mood, support healthy libido, and more! Some prohormones do a great job of raising test levels, but some people prefer not to use them. Arginine Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid. It is a building block of protein that performs a myriad of physiological functions. It is a known precursor of the gas nitric oxide [N02]. Arginine is an amino acid that the body cannot make naturally. Therefore it is important to consume foods that are rich in arginine.1 Arginine is found in high concentrations in nuts and seeds like peanuts and almonds. It can also be found in chocolate and raisins. Individuals with existing heart or psychiatric conditions should consult with their physician prior to supplementing with Arginine. With any amino acid containing product, overdose is a possibility. Dosing with too much arginine can lead to diarrhea, weakness and nausea. Clear dosing guidelines have not yet been established, so it is best to do what is known as "tolerance mapping" - Take a small dosage for one week, note the benefits and the side effects, and increase the dosage until the benefits are maximized and the side effects minimized. Over time the two will converge and you will hit the optimal dose. This process is similar to "receptor mapping" for bodybuilders who use insulin and steroids. Many protein powders on the market are fortified with amino acids, including arginine. With this in mind, pay particular attention to how much arginine you are ingesting from sources. If you do not feel comfortable following the above described procedure, it is always best to follow the directions as prescribed on the products label. The Best Bodybuilding Supplements To Take

How to Buy Stocks in an Uncertain Market?

How to Buy Stocks in an Uncertain Market? Current stock markets all over the world are in great turmoil. The markets are experiencing a new wave of uncertainties with abnormal ups and downs every other day. The confidence level of many an investor is at a new low. In the shadow of prevailing uncertainties in the markets, many investors might choose to abstain from the market rather than to buy stocks.

Yet, under the same roof of uncertainties, a group of experienced traders maintain a strict vigil over the market for a different reason. They have got their own vested interests in a falling market. But they are not necessarily Bears, because this group is not 'Shorting'. They have been taught by their trading Gurus to play for the long term and follow an age-old strategy of "buying low (during panics) and selling high (during market exuberance) to enjoy maximum gains when they sell in a rising market later. Therefore, they have already zeroed-in onto some stocks which have been sieved through a very tight quality control mesh except for the price. We can not put these traders under the category of Day Traders or Swing Traders. In fact, they are not traders in a sense, because they do not trade regularly. They are altogether a different breed who have developed a nice nose to smell their pot of stocks! And the ingredients that go into making it delicious are given below for your benefit: 1. Stocks trading below their book values: In simple terms, the stocks which are being traded below their Book-Value are going to be bargain hunts. Book-value is the value at which an asset is carried on a company's balance sheet. In other words it is the total value of the company's assets that shareholders would theoretically receive if a company is liquidated. Therefore it should be seen as an opportunity to buy stocks in an uncertain market. This investment will bring handsome gains whenever the market bounces back. 2. Low Debt-Equity ratio stocks: While checking the 'Fundamentals' of a company, an experienced investor will go for the stock of a company whose 'Debt/Equity Ratio' is 'below One'( -1 ) it shows that the company has a lesser debt burden or if the company is cash rich, then probably it might be enjoying 'Zero Debt'. Such companies are always good and have spare cash to pay the interests on their loans. If the fundamentals of the company show that 'Debt-Equity ratio' is 'above One' (+1 ), it means that the company is utilizing debt for financing its assets rather than equity. Therefore, the companies that have 'Zero Debt' should be targeted for accumulation during the market recessions. 3. Buying blue-chip stocks: The most safe and time tested strategy for an investor with a medium to long-term perspective is to go for blue-chip stocks even when the markets are falling. Once the markets consolidate and bounce back, the first stocks to move up will be the blue-chip stocks as they form the index or they are heavy weights. Whenever there is an increase in the index heavy weights, these stocks too follow suit. Wise investors are not afraid off falling markets and keep investing judiciously. The strategy explained above has been put to use by several investors who could not bear the strains and tensions of daily participation in the stock market. Overall this method suited well to the investors. Warren Buffett is the best example who put to the best use of falling markets and the Investment principles narrated above to create his world famous Berkshire Hathaway.

The Secret of the Nagas - Book Review

The Secret of the Nagas - Book Review The Secret of the Nagas is the sequel to the best-selling book, The Immortals of Meluha, written by the Indian author Amish Tripathi. While the first book released last year, The Secret of the Nagas is the second book in the Shiva Trilogy. The book has already broken all records with an unofficial estimate of eighty thousand people pre-ordering the book a month before its release.

This second book, The Secret of the Nagas picks up from where The Immortals of Meluha ended, and immediately takes the reader on a roller coaster ride within its first few chapters. At the end of the first book, we saw the sinister Naga warrior trying to abduct Princess Sati. The book starts of on that note and slowly builds up steam. Shiva and his entourage travel to the Hindu city of Kashi in their quest to solve the never-ending strife in the land of Meluha. With each new chapter comes new revelations and opinions and the reader is left guessing at every stage. At Kashi, Sati gives birth to a baby boy and Shiva travels to the land of Banga in his quest to finding the true identity and secret of the evil Nagas. Shiva faces an epic battle with a mysterious bandit in the Banga land and is astonished when he learns The Secret of the Nagas. Meanwhile back in Kashi, Sati, too, discovers secrets of her past that had been kept hidden from her. All these twists and turns keep the book moving along while the reader is left speechless at many places. The events in The Secret of the Nagas take place in the land of Swadeep and ends in the dark and mysterious forests of Dandak. Many new characters make an appearance in The Secret of the Nagas that have an impact on the plot. The book ends with a nice twist and leaves the reader hungry to read the third and final part of the Shiva Trilogy, The Oath of the Vayuputras. The Secret of the Nagas is truly and deservedly one of the best books of the year and is now available at every major bookstore and one can easily buy it from there. However, for those looking for a good discount on the book, my suggestion would be to buy this book from an online retailer as some of them are offering this book at an amazing discount.

Repo RVs - Buy A Cheap RV From Auction

Repo RVs - Buy A Cheap RV From Auction According to recent surveys, people prefer buying RVs since according to them having a motor home nearby makes it easier for them to go away over the weekend which in the long run will help contribute in creating stronger bonds among family members.

But brand new RVs costs a lot. That's why buyers are looking for cheaper places to buy their own RV. They look at dealers of second hand RVs as well as repo rv auction. Repossessed RVs might be the better deal between the two. When you look for an RV, whether in a repo rv auction or in a dealership, it should contain the basics. A minimal RV normally has beds, food preparation and storage areas and at least one table. The bigger the RV the more equipped it becomes. There are RVs that have full bathrooms, living areas, refrigerators, and even master bedrooms. You might also chance upon more elaborate RVs in a repo rv auction. These RVs features satellite TV and internet access. Some even have slide-out sections, and awnings. But the more the amenities the more expensive the RVs become. A typical RV can reach between ,000 to 0,000 when brand new. While some still costs more than that. Just imagine how much you'll save if you buy an RV from a repo rv auction. The basic thing to remember when you go to a repo rv auction is that to be focused and determined. Give yourself a ceiling on how much you would bid for a RV unit. Never join a bidding war since this is a sure way to lose money rather than to save some. Decide on the matter before you go to the auction and stick to it. Make sure that you inspect that conditions of the RV as well as the amenities or equipment inside. If you have time, which in a repo rv auction you usually don't, give each equipment a thorough check. Each not working or damaged equipment brings down the overall value of the RV. You should also need to have a basic guide book on how much a used RV should cost, how much if damage to it or the equipment inside are substantial. This will ensure that any bidding you do in a repo rv auction is based on facts and not mere speculations. Repo RVs - Buy A Cheap RV From Auction
