Lex DeVille's: 15 Days to Freedom - Make Money Copywriting in 15 Days or Less
GOLD!Sup Lex, Curious about this now. How exactly does this compare to other forms of writing? Is it a matter of hitting target word counts daily? Is it crafty? Can you be a shark and them your prey? hehe. Cheers bud.- Selfy

Why copywriting is a bunch of Bull$h^t and you shouldn't learn it...
MARKETING RANTFrom this forum, I turned into the fiction writer path, so I hang out with writers, the majority of which are freelancers. I could never understand why these types would write these articles for other people instead of building the niche-site on their own. But on the upside, they are paid ok...- Selfy

Hello from Denver - self publishing success
GOLD!Surprisingly, I'm still here! I had deviated to outsourcing the books, and now back to writing. Thinking back, the outsourcing gig payed off in more ways than I can imagine. For one, it exposed me deep in my niche and now I spend zero time in the marketing/research. I know what they want, and I...- Selfy

Starting my Fastlane journey with Self Publishing!
EXECUTIONIm excited for you! Following this. You didn't say your writing background. I think it will put things in perspective for readers of the thread. But I don't think you're entering the game of publishing by writing full length novels?? It's a beast! But, like you said, that's where the dinero...- Selfy

My First E-Book "Jak's Play" Progress Thread
PUBLISHINGI'd point out that people are still operating on kdp 1.0 assumptions. Kdp 2.0 changed that. You can have excellent cover, blurb, excerpt and still go bust! You get paid per page, if in kdp, so ponder that for a second.- Selfy

My First E-Book "Jak's Play" Progress Thread
PUBLISHINGI thought it was sci fi. Specifically alternate future. The books in the also bought section were scifi. Is it not? there really is no way to tell, reading from the excerpt. It took me less than 10 sec to know there was a problem with the writing. 10 sec to confirm it. The rest I really just...- Selfy

Anyone having good success with eBooks?
PUBLISHINGI could have written this howto book. Except I pumped out 2-3 a day. (Max was 10) It is not a viable business model, at least long term. And especially, not now. I collapsed mine before KDP2.0. Why? Because it was a ridiculous margin. In a way, I sensed the impending doom. A big part of ethics...- Selfy

My First E-Book "Jak's Play" Progress Thread
PUBLISHINGI meant punctuation errors as per dialogue. I already spotted one error and gave you it on page 1 on this thread. There are more, sadly. Google 'dialogue punctuation rules' for more info. We all have to start somewhere.- Selfy

My First E-Book "Jak's Play" Progress Thread
PUBLISHINGI want you to succeed because I like your genre. It is much, much harder than mine. Pardon, let me dispense some tough love. (Maybe bc the others are too nice?) IMO, the reason for lack of organic sales has to do with the writing. I mean your dialog tags are crooked a first few pages in, and...- Selfy

My First E-Book "Jak's Play" Progress Thread
PUBLISHINGI'd add this because I can't stop my mind. The caliphate harvester scene should be emotionally gripping but also logically challenging, in a contradictory way. Like it happens in a church but there are bodies around. Or an attack but there are children playing and not caring. Or a technological...- Selfy

Starting my Fastlane journey with Self Publishing!
EXECUTIONNot to burst your bubble, but "create something from nothing" is not exactly correct in self publishing. I, too, fell for this. But two years in, I'll tell you that even though you don't need capital to produce words, you need something else: skill. How much does writing skill cost? Ask an...- Selfy

I'm going to write that book, baby.
PUBLISHINGWriting is hard work. Actually, writing quality shorts (shorts after shorts) is hard work AND draining. I'm sure I've made less than what I could have made if I had just outsourced these books to real writers. But what I have now is: skill. So far, I reviewed a shit load of writing-craft books...- Selfy
