Even though vegans are already taking advantage of some of the online tools and technologies to spread the message, coming from the internet marketing background, I can tell you for sure that we’re only using a tinny-tiny percentage of what’s available out there. The Internet gives us...

Lots of people feel that they have a message they want to share with the world by publishing a book, but never do anything about it.

As vegans, we are doing ourselves, our audience, the world, and of course, the animals, a disservice if we are not getting the message of ethical vegan lifestyle out in the world in a big way.

One of the best ways to do that is by writing and publishing a book.

In the past, it used to be really hard to get published. Today, opportunities are practically endless. There is really no excuse not to do it.

Now, I won’t be talking about going the traditional route: finding a publisher, getting your book printed, and sold in local bookstores—although that would certainly be wonderful, and who knows—it may happen, too, if that’s your goal.

However, right now, I’ll be talking about simply publishing your book on Amazon Kindle and other e-publishing websites.

This is super easy (or, at least, not as difficult as you probably think ;-))

Especially if you are a blogger and already have a website filled with insightful blog posts, delightful recipes, photographs and other content.

And even if you don’t, it’s not as difficult as it may seem to create it—you just have to decide that you are going to do it and go for it. Find out how….

In the previous post, I wrote some tips on writing a vegan recipe book. However, I realize that many of you may be thinking: "But I don't want to write a vegan recipe book!" Let's say cooking or writing about food isn't really your thing. Not to worry! If you don't want to write about food, you...

I have a dream that one day, vegan recipe books will be the only books sold in online stores and brick-and-mortar bookstores. Crazy? Maybe. Never gonna happen? Probably, unless we take publishing in our own hands. How? If you’ve been thinking about writing an eBook but aren’t sure where to start,...

"But I already know I'm going to write about vegan food!" Even though your mind may be set on writing a vegan recipe book, you'll be better off if you don't just publish a general recipe book. It's better to narrow down your niche or your audience, or both, at least initially. Here are a few...

Coming back from an amazing vacation trip (Nicaragua-Costa Rica) last night, my family (my husband, son and I) stopped at Juke Joint, an airport restaurant in Atlanta to grab a quick bite before a connecting flight to Newark, New Jersey.

As I was finishing my veggie soup and munching on my husband’s french fries, I heard the guy at the next table (only about 1/2 foot away – as the restaurant was really crowded and the tables really closely spaced by) inquire about the Juke Joint Wings dish, specifically how big it is. The waitress explained that there were 8 wings.

Which to me immediately brings to mind that 4 animals had to be killed to create this one meal.

Just heartbreaking.

I have this question for you today: “How many vegans does it take to change a lightbulb? Two, one to change it and one to check for animal ingredients.”

Ha, ha. Funny? Not so funny?

Okay, here is another one: “How many vegans will it take to change the world?”

Ha! This one is definitely not funny, and one that I find depressing to even think about.

Sometimes.

Then there are times, when I get optimistic.

I believe that today, we have an unprecedented opportunity–and MORAL OBLIGATION, that was not here even 10 or 20 years ago, to spread our message and reach new audiences on the GLOBAL, MASSIVE SCALE.

It’s called the Internet.

So how many people do we need to “convert” before we see a real difference in the world?
