1) The Ebook is Launched!
In
Samuel Taylor Coleridge's classic poem "The Rhyme of
the Ancient Mariner", the venerable Captain makes the
mistake of killing an albatross, a bird of good omen. As punishment
for his crime, he's got to wear it around his neck (go figure
-- things were done differently in the old days!). Things
pretty much go downhill from there! :-)
Over
the course of the last couple of weeks, I was really starting
to feel that the Captain and I were kindred spirits. Of course,
I haven't been wearing an albatross around my neck (I believe
they are endangered), but a much heavier burden...
The
newest version of my e-book, The Ultimate Fat Burning Diet
Primer.
First,
finishing it up took much longer than I anticipated due to
time constraints and the "maybe I'll just add a little
of this" syndrome.
Next,
although I hired a professional to perform the editing, even
that took 2 times as long as initially expected. At this point,
of course, I should have expected further delays, but nooooo...
Anyhow,
to make a long story short, I also had the book professionally
formatted, which proved to be a real nightmare for Neil Tarvin
of Ebookgraphics.com. I had made the mistake of using a Macintosh
computer for the drafts, and he, of course, was using Windows.
So there was a huge incompatibility issue to be taken care
of, and that took time as well.
However,
even the Captain in "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner"
gains a reprieve, and apparently I have as well. The new,
completely redone ebook is here!
The
last few days have been pretty hectic as I've been testing
the new ordering system, building a new sales page, and installing
a security script. In the end, I have to say I'm extremely
happy with new ebook (and proud as well). Despite all the
anguish, it's paid off handsomely!
Extra,
extra special thanks goes out to beta-tester Tony Burtt
of
http://www.elite-sports-training.com
...
who went through the book with a fine toothed comb, finding
the typos even my editor missed!
Thanks
also to Susan Storrar of...
http://www.lowcarbdiet4u.com
...
who made my day by saying she was extra-thrilled to find I'd
written a whole new book, when she was only expecting an upgrade
to the original version!

Special Introductory Offer for All Subscribers!
I've
decided to initially price The Ultimate Fat Burning Diet
Primer at an special introductory price of $19.95, and
experiment with a couple of price increases, first to $24.95,

that, of course. I've arranged for you to receive The Ultimate
Fat Burning Diet Primer for a mere $14.95 -- only 2 bucks
more than the old version. At this price, it's an absolute
steal. Your special discount page is here...

Affiliate Program Launches!
Along
with the new ebook (and it is for all intents and purposes
entirely new) comes the long awaited affiliate program.
I'll
be paying 30% commissions on all referral-based sales of The
Ultimate Fat Burning Diet Primer. That means you can earn
cash by referring friends and family to my ebook, and you
can even do so without your own web site (details at link
below).
The
program is maintained by ClickBank.com, a company that provides
credit card processing and affiliate tracking solutions for
thousands of "netrepreneurs" worldwide.
I
won't bore those of you who are not interested with all the
"gory" details here. The full discussion can be
found online at...

Upgrades for Current Owners
For
all current owners of The Ultimate Fat Burning Diet Primer
who are eager to receive their free upgrade, hang in there,
I haven't forgotten about you. :-)
Over
the next week and a half I'll be going through three different
databases to compile my final list of those entitled to the
upgrade (in the several years I've been selling The Ultimate
Fat Burning Diet Primer, I've used numerous ordering systems
- ClickBank, Digibuy, and originally my own merchant account.
Unfortunately that means there's a lot of manual labor involved,
and it may take a week or two).
Of
course, the popularity of the first edition of the ebook isn't
going to make it any easier, but I'm on the case! :-)
Stay
tuned!
Catch
Dr. Atkins Monday Night!
I
like Dr. Atkins. Here's a guy who's been around for over thirty
years, weathered a million-and-one storms, outlasted the no-fat
naysayers (like Nathan Pritikin and his cronies) and is STILL
going strong.
And
even so, Dr.Atkins continues to cause controversy wherever
he goes.
In
fact, advocators of low-fat dieting have been spitting and
sputtering lately, as several recent research studies validated
the effectiveness of the low carb diet.
(Duke
University researchers found that subjects on the low carb
diet experienced greater weight loss (with a larger percentage
of that weight coming from fat as opposed to muscle), and
more dramatic improvements in blood lipid and cholesterol
levels than those on a typical low-fat diet (Source: American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 75:2002)).
Best
of all, Dr. Atkins will be on CNN's Larry King Live this Monday
January 6 from 9-10 E.S.T.
Be
sure to check it out!
Happy
New Year to You All!
