blog traffic

just thought id share this because I know it will make certain humans laugh. below is a picture of the traffic my blog has achieved since its infancy. seem to be a lot of Irish followers/page views? shout out to the lone soldier in Germany, the tag team duos from Greece and Malaysia, the dirty dozen Americans and not forgetting the drunken Irish.





























one more thing, if your not my friend on Facebook you wont be able to see the ruxton book company page. its a secret page so if this link does not allow you to join


then try this one and i will add you personally


and for all you Facebook members it would be nice if you shared my blog on your page........


.....help spread the world

sending the book to newspapers and celebrities

*update*

so I sent the books off to the newspapers today. my ultimate goal is for one of them to do a "don't buy this shit book" review, then all my "hard" work will be worthwhile. I have been waiting for the book to be available from both Amazon and waterstones ( which it now is) before I sent them off.I was waiting for Google play but those bastards are not accepting new publishers at this moment and have not been for the last 5 months. knobs.
any-who, I stirred up quite a fuss with queue that formed behind me a the post office today. 14 letters I sent in total. this combined with the old bag behind the counter fannying, basically stealing life from me.stealing my very life force. here is a receipt confirming the transaction and a list of all the people I sent the book too.


I will update on my blog when/if I get any correspondence from the media so stay tuned. if all fails and nothing succumbs of any of this I will not give up, I already have my next book in mind, plus I may dabble in releasing a one hit wonder hit single. that'll be enough to get some fannying around cash to potter away with.

get your book into waterstones

hello people

after a lot of emails back and forth to waterstones regarding an issue with their website that did not show new book jacket covers. I am pleased to say that the book is now a fully fledged "for sale" product.
                                                         
                                                       the way the world is by anon

if you want to get a book into waterstones be aware that they do not buy direct from yourself (the publisher). you need to set up a supply chain through one of their whole sellers. most popular are bertrams and gardners books.
the system works as follows.

  • you write a book
  • you acquire an ISBN (bar code) from Nielsen book data. note that they do note sell individual ISBN so for the minimum 10 ISBN the price is £144
  • then fill out a waterstones/gardners trading application form
  • then sit back and wait, and by wait I mean nothing happens fast unless you push it, I sent countless emails to Nielsen, waterstones,gardners to try and kick their arses into gear and it seamed to work. to be honest the customer service by all the before mentioned companies were excellent. quick reply s and very informative.

here is a more detailed link on how to get a book into waterstones


then your book will be listed for sale on their website. if you want to get it into the stores like I did. you have to send your book to waterstones headquarters(London) for consideration. then your fate lies in some pencil pushers hands who have no grasp on what the public actually want to read.so.....good luck.

even if you don't get your book into the stores,don't worry. bookshops are a dying industry. the internet however, is here to stay. so if its on their website (and if you follow the steps above,it will be) then your safe.

now


if someone buys your book on-line, or goes in the shop and requests one. waterstones inform bertrams/gardners. 

bertrams/gardners contact you via email saying an order has been placed for your book. you may also get an email confirmation of an order from Nielsen book data

you send the book to the wholesaler (bertrams/gardners) with an attached invoice. don't worry if you don't know how to do an invoice, I didint either. just download the app invoice simple from the play store and follow the step by step guide.

they receive the book and send it on to waterstones. however they do take there cut. usually 50-55% so for my £5 book I get around £2.35

and that's the way it works. hope it helps you out if you ever consider writing your own piece of shit book

kind regards

The way the world is by anon update

hi people, 

just a quick update on the book journey.

got the book in waterstones now. to be honest with you, books are on their way out (for most people). eBooks are the way forward. however if your like me, which if your interested in this blog i assume you are. you like to be able to actually feel the paper, be able to physically feel and display the book.

eBooks are good in a way because 1: its free to upload and from then on its profits, basically money for doing nothing.(apart from actually having to write a dam book) and 2: you can add chapters and make any amendments whenever you want.

books are far more expensive to produce and distribute. especially if you are an independent publisher like myself. plus your profit margins are squeezed by the knobber book companies and wholesalers who all "take" their portion. the upside is a physical end product that you can dish out over motorway bridges and take to your grave with you.
stay tuned for more updates on one mans half arsed struggle to get a piece of shit book to the top (preferable a new York times best seller) hey, gotta set your goals high otherwise what's the point of all this........... fannying

the way the world is by anon




the way the world is by anon is the first book published and distributed by the ruxton book company

the book was written by an author who wishes to remain anonymous.
he goes by the code name : the amazinly randy

the book can be described as


a shocking yet truthful read about the day to day thoughts beliefs and goings on of the modern human 

A frank,humorous and "to the point" outlook on modern society


after we first read the book we could then make our own mind up about the author and describe him as


the love-child of Frankie Boyle and Katie Hopkins


so if you have ever heard of the two people mentioned above you will know how funny Frankie Boyle is and how controversial Katie Hopkins is. this book is a mixture of both which leads to a very funny,interesting,controversial and view changing read.


we admit the book is a little on the short side (approx 1-2 straight reading time) but with the market as it is this is the perfect "toilet book". a book that you will want a paperback copy off to send to friends and relatives who are not technology minded.


if you want to contact the author you can do at : theamazinlyrandy@gmail.com


if you wish to buy the eBook it is available at on Amazon for £3.49

http://www.amazon.co.uk/way-world-anon-truth-ebook/dp/B0100Q4O6Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439149902&sr=8-1&keywords=the+way+the+world+is+by+anon

the paperback can be purchased from waterstones
