Share in the profits of Andrea's next book, The Generosity Experiment
(working title) while supporting charitable organizations.
2400 "shares" are available to Early Buyers

What you'll receive inside The Generosity Experiment book (working title):

  • The Experiments I conducted and the outcomes.
  • How to Stop Missing Opportunities in front of us. (Incorporates my "You're Smart..." book)
  • 101 Ways to Show Generosity to Those in Need.
  • Tips to Increase Your Generosity of Spirit
  • My Nearly-Unbelievable Story: What happened and where.
  • Acknowledgements: the list of my Heroes, Sponsors and Patrons


You can share in the profits of this book, by doing nothing more than placing a pre-publication order for your copy/copies. You could conceivably receive all your money back and more.



Other income (2010 and beyond) that may also count toward profit-sharing:

  • Speaking engagements specific to The Generosity Experiment
  • Spinoff tips booklets sold, specific to The Generosity Experiment
  • Spinoff articles and excerpts sold, specific to The Generosity Experiment
  • Spinoff reports sold, specific to The Generosity Experiment
  • Spinoff columns sold, specific to The Generosity Experiment


Responsibilities of Andrea Reynolds, Author-Publisher-Promoter:
  • Complete the book on time: end of November 2010.
  • Promote the book for a minimum of 12 months after book completed.
  • Handle all order fulfillment.
  • Appear at press and media interviews.
  • Appear at speaking engagements where invited.
  • Write and distribute weekly reports for sponsors (Fridays).
  • Disburse profits monthly (end of month) until December 31, 2011, unless it makes sense to extend the end date.


Responsibilities of Patrons:
  • Don't share contents of book without permission... we want all the sales possible. The more books sold, the more profits to share.
  • Encourage sales to friends, co-workers, etc.; but no spamming.
  • Don't constantly ask me how the book is coming along or how your investment is doing: I'll send or post a report every Friday.
  • Don't ask me to buy your services because I'm on a tight budget and extra expenses aren't possible.
  • Don't invite me to lunch, dinner, parties to meet your friends and colleagues during the writing process. I'm working to a tight deadline and socializing will delay the completion of the book.
  • Do invite me to speak to your organization's conference as a keynote speaker (not free).

Promotion methods:
  • Pledgie.com
  • Twitter
  • Web site (AndreaReynolds.com)
  • Blog posts
  • Podcasts (when I figure out how to do make them.)
  • News releases
  • Radio interviews (online, offline)
  • Newspaper interviews
  • TV program guest appearances
  • Commissioned articles and excerpts
