Taking the Confusion Out of Self-Publishing

KeepingUpBooks.com is the first ever networking and one-stop shopping website for new and self-published authors. It's a full service company for that writer who has become frustrated with the process of trying to get published. KeepingUpBooks.com launches on February 16, 2009.

The competition to get published is fierce with approximately 1,000 new books being published/self-published each week. KeepingUpBooks.com keeps it real because we know when publishers ask, "What makes your book different?" or "Why should I publish your book?" It doesn't mean that they will consider adding an unknown author to their list. They just want to see if you are passionate and enthusiastic enough to do it yourself. Not to brag but we don't concern ourselves with the publishers because we know that for every person who writes a book there are thousands of people ready to read it. They just need to know where to find it.

Is the Digital Divide a Myth?

Despite previous assertions, the overwhelming majority of low-income urban teens are accessing the Internet, buying the latest cell phones and engaging in online social networking. A national survey of more than 1,500 African American and Hispanic teens and young adults, revealed that this group is highly-connected, tech savvy and brand loyal. MEE (Motivational Educational Entertainment) Productions Inc. uncovered these findings during its latest in a series of national surveys focused on the lifestyle trends, behaviors and attitudes of urban youth.

Other notable findings include:

Internet Usage -- There is extremely high Internet access (96%) by urban youth, at work, school or home. Many (68%) are accessing the Internet through high-speed connections like cable, DSL or wireless. However, only about half of those with access indicated that it was through a home computer. In a trend analysis, MEE found that home Internet access has continued to rise among urban youth. In MEE's 2002 study of African American youth, 43% of youth had access to the Internet at home, compared to 58% in 2008.

Better than two-in-five (42%) of the current survey participants reported accessing the Internet daily; and of those who do, 68% are spending at least two hours a day online.
