			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do a quick search and you can find a lot of local caterers catering Houston. There&#8217;s the breakfast, lunch and dinner for everyday food catering. And special event catering for a holiday party, business event, or a wedding reception. So, what are things you can do to make catering easy?</p>
<p>Catering services</p>
<p>One of the first things to look for when hiring a Houston caterer is to see of they have a restaurant. Why? Because, restaurant catering means they already cater to hundreds of people every week. This is an instant confidence builder, knowing you can go and check out the place.</p>
<p>Also, when searching for catering in Houston you will probably find out what people are saying about the company through reviews. Also, read the website and call, and you&#8217;ll soon get your own gut feeling about their catering service.</p>
<p>Corporate, event and wedding catering in Houston</p>
<p>Most corporate catering offer everyday office catering for a meeting, to full-service catering for an reception, party, fundraiser, or other important event. If you just need something to eat during a meeting, I suggest calling a restaurant to deliver food. But, if the event is big enough, you&#8217;ll want to ask for references, and set up a meeting to taste the food. This should give you a good idea if the company is any good.</p>
<p>If you want basic business catering for breakfast and lunch, food trays and boxed meals are popular. Both offer variety and the quality of food stays consistent for both choices. It&#8217;s just a matter of preference. Of course, there&#8217;s always the option of the traditional buffet and sit down service when you have larger groups to feed. Just keep in mind, whichever meal you&#8217;re having and whatever you choose to eat, you should have the choice to have it made and delivered the way you want.</p>
<p>Your wedding party</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a wedding caterer in Houston, there&#8217;s lots of websites, magazines, and brochures that are easy to find. What I suggest you do is create a budget before calling any one of them. Calculate the cost per person and the cost for the entire reception you are willing to spend.</p>
<p>Get specific with the type of food and drinks you want by writing down an ideal menu to present to the caterer. And don&#8217;t forget to present a table setting budget because it&#8217;s a major cost in any reception. Keep in mind, the more service required the higher the price tag.</p>
<p>Wedding catering is all about making the bride and groom shine. My tip to any catering company in Houston is to create favorite foods of both the bride and the groom. Too often I see fancy finger food being presented that few people enjoy. I would say the same for wedding anniversary parties.</p>
<p>All in all</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re looking and have probably found a few companies catering Houston. Sometimes it&#8217;s difficult to differentiate all of them. So, I suggest going with a restaurant for food catering. If you need an elaborate setup for a party, event and wedding, you may have to hire an event planner.</p>
<p>Whatever you do, you&#8217;ll find that any company catering Houston with some experience will probably do a good job. Just make sure you ask for references and taste the food first-hand, before you invest a lot of time or money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you a book author? Still deciding if it?s worth the effort? It is!!! You can use your book in a wealth of ways to build your business or promote your professional practice.</p>
<p>Here are 7 suggestions for using your book that will make you more money, whether it?s a digital e-book or print version, whether you plan to self publish your book or not, whatever book market you?re targeting:</p>
<p>(1) Say thanks with your book. Brainstorm a list of people who?ve already helped you?who will probably be able to help again in the future. Don&#8217;t just give them a copy of your book to read. Provide them with extra copies that they can use for their own businesses. Or, say thanks for the referrals with your book.</p>
<p>If it?s printed, autograph each copy. Include a personal note from you. Generate some publicity, too. People will talk about the book you gave them, especially because it?s been personalized (and that got it for free as thanks).</p>
<p>(2) Freely give out an e-book (digital version) based on excerpts from the print version of your book. Capitalize on viral marketing by making selected excerpts into an e-book available as an opt-in at your website or distributed via specialized websites offering free e-books.</p>
<p>Provide valuable information for your readers. But, be careful. Don&#8217;t reveal all your how-to secrets in the e-book. Save them for your paid version. Tell why and what, not how, in your viral version. Use your excerpted free e-book to entice people to visit your website to buy the paid version of your book.</p>
<p>(3) ?Bribe? people with your book. If you?d like to get some people to help you but you don?t have money to pay them, use your book as a bribe to get them to provide their services for free.</p>
<p>If you?re looking to get help from experts, for example, offer to customize a digital version of your book by adding each person?s name as a contributor. Add a few pages to their personal version containing their words of wisdom. If they don?t want to write anything, interview them to draw forth some ideas that you put down on paper for them. They&#8217;ve now become co-authors or contributors to your book.</p>
<p>And, you?ll benefit from their services without having to blow your budget. Win-Win.</p>
<p>(4) Donate copies of your printed book to be used as prizes at a local business event. Who doesn?t love freebies, especially organizations that don?t have the money to pay for prizes? The organization gets to increase attendance at their event by using your books to attract attention. You get publicity when your book and your name are mentioned at prize time. And, the winners who get your books will tell others about your great information, further spreading the word about you and your business.</p>
<p>If you?ll be attending the event, offer to autograph the books for the winners, too. Not going to be at the event? No problem. Give the event planners autographed copies of your book in advance (obviously, without the personalization for the winners).</p>
<p>(5) Create a series of articles from your book to use in your own e-zine or send them out into cyberspace via e-zine and article directories, announcement services. Article marketing is a fabulous way to generate publicity, sell copies of your book, get new clients for your practice, and so on.</p>
<p>The cost is mostly time, rather than money, if you put together and distribute the articles yourself. Or, spend a bit of money to have someone else write the articles and have an assistant or article service distribute the articles.</p>
<p>(6) Turn your book into a course. Enjoy teaching, but never seem to find the time to develop a new course? Well, here?s another use for your book. Transform it into a course by adding some exercises and examples, weekly assignments, worksheets, self-quizzes, etc.</p>
<p>If you want to teach the course live, use your converted book to guide your students. If you prefer online teaching, digitalize your book. Don?t want to be directly involved in teaching? Create a course that your students can use on their own. Many people like the self-study approach.</p>
<p>(7) Laugh it up! Think funny. Develop a shorter version of your non-fiction book&#8230;with a humorous twist to it. If you?re artistically-skilled, add some cartoons or witty illustrations. If you?re artistically-challenged like I am, add humor with your words.</p>
<p>I turned my own business writing book into a really funny take-off by looking at collections from Mad Magazine and similar ?high-brow literature? for inspiration. I had even more fun writing the humorous version than I did creating the original serious version.</p>
<p>My favorite takeoff in the humorous book was when I used my medical background to develop a fake ad for WRITAGRA to treat debilitating writer?s block. I haven?t done any funny versions of my other books yet, but I probably will. My personal challenge is that I?m not all that inherently funny, although I?m less humor-challenged than I am artistically-challenged.</p>
<p>Some of these 7 methods require print copies of your book. With modern technology, you can get a relatively small number of copies printed at a reasonable cost to use for marketing purposes. Just make sure your distribution of print copies is well targeted, so you don?t waste your money.</p>
<p>If you?re using a digital version of your book, don?t worry about costs. They?re minimal. So, liberally use your digital e-book to make more money!</p>
<p>Which method will you start with for your own print book marketing or e-book marketing activities? How will becoming a book author boost your business, make more money for your professional practice?</p>

<p>Why are some people still making lots of money in a down economy? Because they&#8217;re maximizing the ultimate promotional tool to build business as the expert in their field. Dr. Alicejane Lippner, author of &gt;15 business-building books, shows you how.</p>
