Wishing things were different won't change anything. The human race is in a desperate situation. It will take some effort by everyone who recognizes that action is needed NOW before it is too late to have any meaningful effect.
Don't just keep making the same mistakes over and over, letting someone else decide and control your life, all so you can barely get by while they become more wealthy. Join me NOW and help make this book become a source of inspiration and guidance to stop the march of civilization toward the extinction of mankind.
The time is right for this – it needs to happen NOW!
Creating this book isn't about making me rich or famous. My needs are very modest and I actually would prefer to remain fairly obscure, if possible. But the concepts and processes I describe can make a significant difference in how things are done and the happiness of many people all over the world. The attitude that freedom and prosperity of the individual is more important than conformity to the restrictions of the collective is what this book is about.
I have always tried to be self-financing on whatever endeavors I attempted throughout my life. What usually has happened is that while I was supporting myself with client work and creating my own projects in my "spare" time, the circumstances that created the need for what I wanted to do would change and the opportunity would pass. Those who found financial backers to fund their projects would quickly move ahead and take immediate advantage of the situation. So this time, I decided to try that route to enable me to get the book done in a minimum of time. That's why this project is here.
Please contribute what funds you can today, and then give me your opinions and criticisms as I complete the writing of this very important book. If you like this presentation, which is a good example of how I think and write, and if you agree with even half of what it says, you will love the book. It will be much more comprehensive and include lots of examples of how things can be improved and even drastically altered for the good of everyone by making only small but significant changes to how things are structured and done. I assure you that you will be glad you contributed to it and proud you were a part of its creation. – Tyger Gilbert

Funding Objective: Raise $15,000 for costs and promotion
Contribute now and help provide me the funding needed to complete and promote this persuasive, timely book and you will get copies of either the paperback or eBook version after publication. You will receive regular updates on its development, and with a contribution of $50 or more, you can provide your own thoughts and input as the writing progresses. Plus, as further rewards for helping me produce it sooner, not later, you will receive autographed copies of my book, "The Natural Beauty of Arizona," that has more than 500 of my best photos in it, along with prints from my photo gallery of over 3000 professional quality travel and nature images.
And to put my mouth where your money is, I will provide your business, favorite charity, or organization with hours of my professional ad writing, graphic design, or photography time to create banner graphics, magazine ads or even a website to match your funding of me at $100 or more. This is one of those win-win-win situations I am writing about in the book.
Plus, to acknowledge your support and show my appreciation of your help, all contributors will be listed in the book and on a dedicated sponsors page on my website (unless you prefer to opt-out of this, of course). Contributors of $100 or more will receive an ad in the book for their business or favorite charity or other organization, and for $500 or more, a banner ad running on my USA Web Directories network of 140 websites in the USA for one year.
My target goal is to raise $15,000 by the end of July, 2013. Of this total, 40% will be spent for contracted editing, proofreading, design and formatting, and writing of the book, 10% for news release and media promotion expenses, 40% for the cost of production and shipment of the books and rewards, and 10% for costs of funding and transactions. These numbers assume a median contribution of $25 and an average of $31.90 per contribution, with a total of 470 contributors projected participating.
PROJECTED PUBLICATION DATE IS OCT. 1, 2013
You can support the writing of this revolutionary timely book with a contribution and provide feedback to me as it is being completed!
A discussion section for this project is being developed on my website and anyone interested in the progress of this book will be invited to join in. When parts of the writing have been done, I will post a draft version for comment and criticisms. This will be ongoing until the book is finally done. You can be an observer only, or actively be a part of the discussion to help define and refine the final work as it will be published.
DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY RIGHT NOW?
You say you can't contribute because you don't have any money right now? Okay, you can still help by using your social networks and email list to tell all your friends and family about this book so they have an opportunity to be a contributor, too. Send me an email to let me know what you have done and I will add you to my update list so you will be kept informed of my progress. When the book is published, I will see that you get a special price on as many as you would like so you can give copies to everyone you care about.
