You've worked long and hard to learn about the topics you write about – why not leverage what you know by teaching teleseminars (classes held via group phone calls)? Join us next week to learn the easy technical basics of setting up and running teleseminars so you can decide if this has potential as an income source for you. We'll discuss conference call services and call mechanics, online payment options, pricing, promotion, choosing the right topics, recycling books and articles into curriculums, and adapting your skills as a writer to become a teacher.

Erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey began life as a humble, self-published e-book, unable to satisfy the tastes of traditional publishers. Within a few years it had achieved domination on a global scale, spawning a series that has sold more than 125 million copies. E. L. James's personal story has become a tantalising fantasy for aspiring authors. But one that technology and social media are making increasingly realisable.

This complex mystery connects three generations of women to a single extraordinary room in a New York Gilded Age mansion.
