Author Jobe Leonard Was Added to a Select List of Local Authors at the Minnis House Book Signing Event
Attending a book signing 2 weeks before “Study Abroad: The Book of Jobe” releases on 11/23/12 was a great opportunity.
New Market, TN, November 14, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The author says his primary concern with the event was that he only had a handful of pre-release copies of his unreleased title on hand. “I knew that after the first few visitors I would have to start directing visitors to www.Jobe.ws to purchase copies after the release,” says Leonard. “I was aware of the risk when I accepted, but if I got my story in front of just one more person, it would be a success.”
Jobe indicates demand for his unreleased title “Study Abroad: The Book of Jobe” has reached a fever pitch. There are no other current titles that cover the subject matter that this travel journal traverses.
“I began talking to university directors, students, and parents, and I soon identified that my pre-sales would outpace what the publisher had given me for pre-release supplies,” says Leonard. “Then I held back an emergency supply of books for just such an occasion as the Minnis House book signing.” Jobe said that keeping a handful of books in safe keeping is similar to what must be done while studying abroad and handling expenses. Jobe then created a system to help rookie travelers budget called the SAVE Method. He shared this method with us below.
The SAVE Method
Spend a set amount of money per day. If a 10-day trip has a $1,000 budget then logic says any day with over $100 spent will lead to stress and trouble at the end of the trip.
Always keep an emergency stash. Keep a spare credit card and four crisp one hundred dollar bills in different places throughout daypacks, luggage, and with your passport.
Verify expenses before leaving. Items like tickets, transportation, and lodging are easy to confirm beforehand on the Internet or guidebooks. This will help establish a budget before leaving home.
Evaluate each expenditure as necessary, or not. Then compare it to the established daily budget. If earlier days have been below the every day budget then it may be fine to splurge. If the opposite is true, beware.
“Study Abroad: The Book of Jobe” is targeted at explorers of all skill levels. It also has relevant information to help others navigate the difficulties of living in a foreign environment. Keeping track of expenditures is just as essential as making sure that enough pre-release copies of a book are available for clients at a book signing.
This book will be available on 11/23/12 on www.Jobe.ws or on Amazon.com as either paperback or E-book.
