Every idea has to be sold. For eg., for a child to get a pen from his/her Father, he/she has to sell/promote the idea first. Promoting/Selling the Gutenberg project is a great idea, as with more interest there are more chances for volunteers etc., etc., Here is how I sold the Gutenberg Project to a coworker. He has kids but was unaware of the Gutenberg Project. I sent him an E-Mail saying that the Gutenberg project(GP) offers a HUGE COLLECTION of fairy tales and bed time stories for children all for FREE. This got him to explore the project. Next day at work we was smiling and was very happy with my suggestion. There is so much info./free stuff on the net. Everyone gets bombarded all the time. So being specific helps in promoting anything. For eg., to a History student I will E-Mail him a link with a Gutenberg Project History Book and also ask him to check out the project home page and other books that may interest him. Here are my ideas to promote the project: (1) While discussing specific topics on the net and in E-Mails, include the GP Free E-Books Links (2) Suggest the Project to atleast one new person a weekly or monthly. (There are still several who are unaware of this project). (3) Giving FREE Gutenberg CDs locally to people who will actually use them. I am also looking forward to suggestions from others in this regard. Regards, Vijay _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.
