Ghost Writing Gold - Strike Gold...

Ben Geisler

Ghost Writing Gold: Strike Gold When You Learn How to Hire the Best Ghostwriter For You! 
When you hire a writer for your eBook, what you are doing is enlisting the services of a ghostwriter. A ghostwriter is a writer who publishes under someone else's name, with the consent of both parties. Traditionally, ghostwriters have been and are still today hired by celebrities to write autobiographies when the celebrities are not talented writers. Ghostwriters also sometimes create works for well-known authors, such as Tom Clancy. This practice is done for business reasons, because the author's name alone will sell the books, no matter who actually wrote them. 
In this audiobook, you will learn why eBooks are great ways to earn money these days and if you don’t have a talent for writing, you can employ the services of ghost writers that will help you write them. 
This audiobook will cover the following topics: 
- How to Select a Great Topic 
- Where to Find Great Writers 
- How to Choose the Best Writer For Your Project 
- And many more! 
Ultimately you will own the copyright of what the ghostwriter wrote, and you can sell the eBook as many times as you like. If it sounds like a pretty nice arrangement, it is. It's all completely legal and commonly done. To learn more, scroll up and click “add to cart” now!

Faulty Comparisons and False...

William Rands

This book contains the following titles: 
- The False Dilemma: A false dilemma, also known as a false dichotomy, is a logical fallacy that occurs when only two options are presented as the only possible choices, despite the existence of other viable alternatives. This simplification of choices creates an illusion of a limited range of possibilities, forcing individuals to pick between two extremes. The false dilemma is often used to manipulate thinking, steer conversations, and influence decisions in various contexts, from political discourse to everyday life. 
- The False Consensus Effect: The False Consensus Effect refers to the cognitive bias where individuals overestimate the extent to which others share their beliefs, values, and opinions. This phenomenon can be seen across a wide range of social, political, and personal contexts, often shaping our perception of how common or widespread our views are. Essentially, people tend to assume that their experiences and perspectives are more universally shared than they truly are. This can lead to significant misunderstandings, skewed decision-making, and a distorted view of the world.
