I am a Published Author!



By theprofessionalhobo ~ May 18th, 2009. Filed under: Australia.

Monday May 18th2009, is a momentous day in my life: I am officially a published author! Whoopee!

Having written about personal finance, travel, life hacks, and personal tips for Wise Bread for almost 2 years now, I have been impressed with how the creators of this site were always forward-thinking. So when they approached me and said we had a book deal, I was not surprised, and delighted of course!

10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget is a true money-saving book, suggesting that in order to save money you don’t have to eat ramen, live like a monk, and work like a dog. Instead, by making frugal choices and employing creative strategies (all neatly laid out in the book, of course), you can live large without having to spend large.

If you would like to order a copy of this book, I have two requests:

1) Please click on the link below to order. (I will receive a small commission from Amazon on anything you order after clicking on this link. This is helpful to a starving artist like myself).

2) Please order your copies between 1pm-4pm EST on Monday, May 18th. The reason for this is the more people who order the book at this time, the faster we will be catapulted into Amazonian fame. Once we are highly rated on Amazon, then – world: here we come!

Unfortunately, to my readers who reside outside of the States, you will not find this book at your local neighbourhood bookshop – yet. So your only option is currently to order it through Amazon.

Thank you for your support, everyone, and I hope you enjoy the book!

      I’d love to read it, but I’ve sworn off paper books after I found out how well Kindle for iPhone and Stanza work.

      Congratulations!!! I just discovered you today via Get Rich Slowly. While I like Wise bread and would love the Ebates and even the flip camera, I’ld prefer to help YOU out more directly so I purchased your book through the link here. I plan on sending it to my daughter when I finish it AND am sending her a link to this site. You rock and kick butt!!! All the best!!!

      Wow, that’s a major accomplishment! Congratulations. We will probably check it out from our local library within the next few months. I’m sure it’ll be extremely popular. This is the perfect time to publish a book like this!

      Hey there! You are one of the few blogs I keep checking regularly. You have shown me and my boyfriend great resources and articles and continue to inspire us with your ideas so we can embrace some of them in our traveling plans. Congratulations! I will try to get the book altough sometimes it is hard to order from Argentina and actually receive the item.
      Either way, congrats again and I love reading you.

      Cheers!

      @rpavesh – Thank you for your kind words! And in fact, I may be in India sometime this year; I will let you know. Thank you very much for the invitation to stay with you!

      @Clauz – Thanks! If you can’t get the book, then maybe it is a good chance to come visit you too: I’ll hand deliver one if I’m in your neck of the woods!
