Today's the first day of BookExpo America 2007 -- the premier event serving the U.S. publishing industry -- and the Javits Convention Center will be teeming with thousands of people involved with the book business.

I'm looking forward to today, because I'm attending Mark Victor Hansen's MEGA Book New York so I can hobnob with other authors and get pearls of marketing wisdom from wonderful experts speaking to us at the Javits Convention Center.

It's always a treat to hear the bestselling author Mark Victor Hansen, because he offers fabulous tips to turn your book into a bestseller, something I'm eager to do with SUGAR SHOCK!

Previously I've heard most of the awesome speakers in today's program -- Mark, of course, as well as Alex Mandossian, Rick Frishman, Tom Antion, and Alex Carroll, and they're always full of insights and ideas.

But today, I'm especially eager to learn from two experts I've never met, Larry Kirshbaum and Brendon Burchard. In addition, I'm excited about the Agents and Publishers Interactive Q & A Panel.

Anyhow, it'll be interesting to attend BEA for the first time as a bona fide published author! I'm happy to have the time to be there this year -- last year I couldn't go because I was on tight book deadlines. And two years before that, when I attended, I was still a wanna-be author.

• Do you yearn for quick visibility and recognition in your new career as an author, entrepreneur or holistic health counselor?
• Worried because you don’t know how to write?
• Want to nab some new clients and fans, who will come to you out of the blue – well, out of cyberspace – with minimal effort on your part?
• Can’t consider expensive advertising?

No problem. You can easily promote your expertise and land clients by writing how-to articles. Don't know how? Fret not. Writing stories like these isn't as tough as you’d think! That's if you get some good guidance.

I'm here to help you get writing help now.

Here's how: I'm presenting a teleclass, "How to Write How-To Articles to Get Credibility, Visibility & Clients," on Mon., May 21 at 2 p.m. EST with one of my mentors.

The teleseminar will be taught by Joan Stewart, a.k.a. “The Publicity Hound,” with a little input from me.

FYI, this How to Write How-To Articles teleclass will be the first in a series of programs that I'm presenting to help fellow authors, holistic health counselors, entrepreneurs and others, who want to develop their marketing prowess and build their platform.

"Publicity Hound" Joan Stewart -- who I first met at a conference two years ago – will give you lots of valuable information in this How to Write How-To Articles teleclass.

Don't worry if you're busy May 21. You can still listen to our teleclass after the fact, because you can download an audio replay or MP3..

In this How to Write How-To Articles teleseminar, Joan will tell you how to easily write a simple 600-word article that explains to your target audience how they can solve a particular problem.

FYI, Joan (like me) is a former newspaper editor. More importantly, she’s now a real pro at using articles as a valuable marketing and publicity tool. Her articles – which you can find all over the Internet – bring lots of traffic to her website, including customers who buy her information products and services. Not only that, but her stories bring her dozens of requests from editors, publishers and bloggers, who want to reprint her articles.

In this 60-minute telephone seminar, you will learn:

• How writing articles can bring you fame and fortune even if you don’t know how to write or you don’t like to write.

• How to identify your target audience. (If you don’t do this before you start writing, then you’ll be just wasting your time.)

• How to know which topics to write about so your articles attract the greatest number of readers possible.

• Tips for writing kick-butt headlines that pull in readers like a giant magnet.

• Why editors, publishers, online article directories and bloggers are hungry for your articles.

• Step-by-step instructions for writing the article. You’ll even get Joan’s amazing, free template on how to write a how-to article so you can follow along during the call.

• How to break up all the gray type and make your article look interesting to read.

• What readers are hungry for and the one thing that will turn them off if they see it in your article.

• The most important paragraph in your article that will help you make money—something many writers ignore.

• What to do with your article once you’ve written it.

• What you must know about copyright and reprint rights in simple language that you can understand.

• How to submit your article to article directories so editors and publishers can find them.

• Joan’s favorite article directory site where you can learn lots more about how to write and publish articles.

In addition, I will provide some handouts to access online, before or after the call. You’ll get:

• At least 4 samples of how-to articles that Joan and I believe are exemplary.

• A list of active verbs to use in articles. (When I was in journalism school, they drummed into me the importance of action verbs.)

Finally, in this “How to Write How-To Articles” teleclass with "Publicity Hound" Joan Stewart, I’m holding a drawing for several raffle prizes: They will include:

• 2 limited-edition hardcover copies of my book SUGAR SHOCK!

• 2 SUGAR SHOCK! tote bags

• 2 spots to my upcoming 21-Day, Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Countdown Dietâ„¢ teleseminar series.

Today is an exciting day for me. I will be speaking before some 1,000 students now studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I studied last year to become a certfied holistic health counselor.

I'll be chatting about how sugar is such a hot topic and how giving a good sugar talk could be the launching pad to more exciting opportunities as a health counselor.

Gotta keep practicing my talk now.

Here's another post I wrote as a guest blogger for Diet-Blog.com as part of my SUGAR SHOCK! Blog Tour.

My Special Invitation to You: Act on Wed., Jan. 17 to feel better and get exciting gifts.

Dear Friends, Blog Readers, Colleagues and All of You Kind Enough to Pop By:

I'm thrilled, because some really wonderful, cutting-edge experts, whom I greatly admire -- including Dr. Joseph Mercola, Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Jonny Bowden, Dr. Fred Pescatore, and Dr. Liz Lipski -- are kind enough to send out special e-mails to their fans on (or before) Wed., Jan. 17, inviting them to purchase my book, SUGAR SHOCK!

These healthy heroes of mine -- plus dozens of other wonderful authors and experts in a variety of fields -- are sharing the fact that I accidentally discovered a wow of a secret that could boost your moods and bring you good health, too.

They're telling their followers about how after my years of needlessly suffering, I discovered one simple change that banished all 44 of my mysterious ailments. As I now happily reveal: My mood swings disappeared. My severe fatigue vanished. My horrible headaches took a hike.

Why? Because I cut out sugar. That's right: I kicked my sugar habit.

And, as my friend Dr. Jonny Bowden -- a hotshot, savvy nutritionist -- points out in his letter to his followers: "If you (or your doctor) still thinks there's no such thing as carbohydrate addiction, then you definitely want to read this book."

These absolutely wonderful supporters also point out that my book SUGAR SHOCK! (Berkley Books) dishes the sour scoop about sweets.

For instance, Jonny kindly observed: "Connie really did her homework. She's interviewed some of the top experts in the field and put together a really compelling, personal story that you need to hear."

My friends and supportive colleagues also point out that SUGAR SHOCK! tells the full sugar story. What's more, they tell their fans, my book "gives you hope and valuable tips so that you, too, can break free, boost your moods, get more energy, and more."

Anyhow, my friends are encouraging those subscribers to their e-mail lists to act on Wed., Jan. 17 (until 11:59 p.m.) to participate in this exciting offer and get a tremendous amount of free gifts from leading experts in the field, including Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Fred Pescatore, Dr. Joe Mercola, and many others.

As I've gratefully pointed out previously, SUGAR SHOCK! -- which has a foreword from bestselling author Dr. Nicholas Perricone -- has received praise from a Who's Who of cutting-edge doctors and nutritionists, including medical consultant Dr. Stephen Sinatra.

Just check out what three experts said:

* Frequent Oprah guest Dr. Mehmet Oz, coauthor of the # 1 bestseller, YOU: On A Diet:

"[SUGAR SHOCK!] spills the beans on the shocking impact of simple carbohydrates on aging and
quality of life..."

* Renowned expert, Dr. Joseph Mercola, founder of the wildly popular Mercola.com:

"If you can't say `no' to foods made with sugar or processed, white flour, then you will want to read Connie Bennett's SUGAR SHOCK! ...it is loaded with many practical tools and resources..."

* Dr. Mark Hyman, author of the New York Times bestseller, UltraMetabolism:

"Read this book. It could save your life."
