I actually pre-sold copies of my book in order to pay for the inital setup and printing costs. Here's my suggestion: 1) Create a list of people you'll invite to the raffle 2) Don't just email people, call them to get them excited about the raffle and ask if they'd participate 3) Have a compelling...
Excellent question (and excellent answers here too). I'm 18 months into my start-up. That's 18 months of learning what is essential to survival and what is a waste of energy and space. Here is what is helping me most: 1. Communication essentials: Business cards (moo.com), laptop, phone, and Int...
